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

Distributed RLHF training orchestrates large-scale fine-tuning using verl's HybridFlow architecture. It configures PPO and GRPO workflows across multi-node GPUs, utilizing YAML-driven settings for algorithm selection, trainer parameters, and actor rollout strategies to execute scalable reinforcement learning.

Can I use vLLM or SGLang as rollout backends for RL training?

vLLM and SGLang are supported as configurable actor rollout backends. The architecture also integrates HuggingFace Transformers and Megatron-LM, allowing flexible backend selection for rollout and training operations during large-scale reinforcement learning workflows.

What is verl's HybridFlow architecture for reinforcement learning?

HybridFlow architecture is a production-grade framework for orchestrating RL training. It structures end-to-end workflows by separating configurable rollout backends, trainer settings, and actor strategies, enabling efficient distributed GPU execution for RLHF-style fine-tuning.

How do I configure trainer and rollout settings for large-scale GRPO workflows?

You configure GRPO workflows through YAML files defining algorithm, trainer, actor_rollout_ref, and rollout parameters. This config-driven approach manages multi-backend rollout and distributed GPU training for scalable reinforcement learning experiments.

Does verl support multi-node GPU training for RLHF fine-tuning?

Multi-node GPU training is fully supported for RLHF fine-tuning. The system orchestrates production-grade distributed training across large models, managing experiment execution and end-to-end orchestration through config-driven workflows.

What are the limitations of using Megatron-LM for actor rollout in RL training?

Megatron-LM functions as one of multiple actor rollout backend options alongside vLLM, SGLang, and HuggingFace Transformers. Backend selection dictates specific rollout strategy configurations and integration parameters within the HybridFlow architecture.
