I wonder what Sutton thinks about some of the more recent innovations in RL like GRPO. In some ways it’s new, in other ways it’s an echo of RLOO.
GRPO is policy gradient/PPO with your value function baseline monte carlo estimated using k rollouts. The only new thing is finding out it works well with binary rewards and LLM policies.
