STARE: Surprisal-Guided Token-Level Advantage Reweighting for Policy Entropy Stability

Researchers analyzed token-level entropy dynamics in GRPO, a post-training paradigm for LLMs, and found a credit assignment mismatch causing policy entropy collapse. They propose STARE, a method to reweight advantages and stabilize policy entropy. This addresses a key limitation of GRPO, enabling more stable training of complex reasoning in LLMs. You can apply STARE to improve GRPO's performance in your own LLM training workflows.

Key takeaways

GRPO suffers from policy entropy collapse due to token-level credit assignment mismatch.
STARE reweights advantages to stabilize policy entropy in GRPO.
STARE improves stability of complex reasoning training in LLMs.
