PPO Objective for LLM Training
The general objective function of Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) can be specifically adapted for the training of Large Language Models. This involves formulating the optimization problem for LLMs within the PPO framework, which is a widely adopted approach in the field.

Overall PPO Objective Function for Language Models
An engineer is training a text-generation model using a reinforcement learning algorithm. They notice that the model's performance is highly unstable: after a few successful updates, a single large update often causes the model's output quality to degrade significantly. Which of the following mechanisms is specifically designed to prevent such large, destabilizing policy updates by limiting the magnitude of the change between the new and old policies at each step?

Derivation of the KL Divergence Objective for Policy Optimization
During the policy optimization stage of training a large language model, an engineer observes that the model's outputs are coherent and safe, but they show very little improvement over the initial supervised fine-tuned version and consistently receive mediocre scores from the reward model. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue, based on the policy optimization objective function that balances maximizing rewards with a penalty for policy divergence?
