Modern AI systems rely heavily on post-training techniques like supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) to adapt foundation models for specific tasks. However, a critical question remains unresolved: do these methods help models memorize training data or generalize to new scenarios? This distinction is vital for building robust AI systems capable of handling real-world…
Post-training techniques, such as instruction tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback, have become essential for refining language models. But, open-source approaches often fall behind proprietary models due to a lack of transparency in training data, methodologies, and optimization techniques. Despite the availability of foundational models, the absence of robust, publicly available post-training recipes creates…
