This chapter: How does a model learn from a grader that checks its drafts?

About this chapter

You will learn

  • What a checkable grader is

Words you’ll meet

Grader
A program that checks a draft and gives it a reward: here, Evals’ key-fact check.
Group
Several drafts the model writes for the same question, graded together.
GRPO
Group relative policy optimization: each draft is scored against its group’s average, and the model leans toward the above-average ones.
Advantage
A draft’s reward minus the group’s average, divided by how spread out the rewards are.
