FAQPage Schema
How do I run distributed RLHF training for large language models using Ray and vLLM?

Distributed RLHF training is orchestrated across Ray clusters with vLLM acceleration, utilizing hybrid GPU sharing and sleep modes to reduce training time and GPU idle for 7B-70B parameter large language models.

Can I fine-tune a 70B model with PPO across multiple nodes and GPUs?

Yes, you can fine-tune a 70B model using PPO with multi-node hardware configurations, scaling across 4-8 nodes with 16 GPUs per node, while Ray orchestrates the distributed workload and vLLM handles acceleration.

What reinforcement learning algorithms are supported for distributed LLM fine-tuning?

The framework supports multiple reinforcement learning algorithms for distributed LLM fine-tuning, including PPO, GRPO, RLOO, and DPO, allowing flexible algorithm selection within a single Ray-based orchestration environment.

Does vLLM acceleration work with Ray clusters for PPO training?

vLLM acceleration works directly with Ray clusters during PPO training, providing efficient GPU sharing and utilizing hybrid engine sleep modes to minimize resource idle time across multi-node distributed hardware configurations.

What's the best way to manage checkpoints during multi-node LLM fine-tuning?

The framework provides advanced checkpointing for multi-node LLM fine-tuning, integrating with Ray clusters to express extensible and reproducible workflows through clear dependency management scripts and modular components.

Why use OpenRLHF for distributed reinforcement learning instead of other frameworks?

OpenRLHF combines Ray-based multi-node orchestration with vLLM acceleration for distributed reinforcement learning, specifically targeting large 7B-70B models to reduce training time and GPU idle through hybrid GPU sharing.
