Applying a Preference Model for AI Fine-Tuning

A development team is fine-tuning a large language model to be a better conversational assistant. They have already collected a dataset of human preferences, where evaluators chose the better of two model-generated responses for thousands of different prompts. Using this data, they have successfully trained a 'reward model' that accurately predicts a scalar score representing how much a human would likely prefer a given response. The team is now ready for the final stage of the process: using this reward model to update the conversational assistant itself. What is the primary goal of this final stage, and how is the scalar score from the reward model utilized to achieve this goal?
