Train at Moving Edge: Online-Verified Prompt Selection for Efficient RL Training of Large Reasoning Model
arXiv:2603.25184v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become essential for post-training large language models (LLMs) in reasoning tasks. While scaling rollouts can stabilize training and enhance performance, the computational overhead is a critical issue. In algorithms like GRPO, multiple rollouts per prompt incur prohibitive costs, as a large portion of prompts provide negligible gradients and are thus of low utility. To address this problem, we investigate how to select high-utility prompts before the rollout phase. Our experimental analysis reveals that sample
The increasing scale and computational cost of large language models for reasoning tasks necessitates more efficient training methods, driving innovation in prompt selection. This paper outlines a method as the industry continues to push the boundaries of LLM capabilities.
This research provides a method to significantly reduce the computational overhead of training large reasoning models, directly impacting the scalability and cost-efficiency of advanced AI development. Efficient training is a cornerstone for broader adoption and deployment of powerful AI.
The ability to pre-select high-utility prompts will make the reinforcement learning post-training of LLMs substantially more efficient and less resource-intensive. This changes the economic viability and speed of iteratively improving complex AI systems.
