Data
~~~~

.. code:: yaml

   data:
     tokenizer: null
     train_files: ~/data/rlhf/gsm8k/train.parquet
     val_files: ~/data/rlhf/gsm8k/test.parquet
     prompt_key: prompt
     max_prompt_length: 512
     max_response_length: 512
     train_batch_size: 1024
     return_raw_input_ids: False  # This should be set to true when the tokenizer between policy and rm differs
     return_raw_chat: False
     return_full_prompt: False
     shuffle: True
     filter_overlong_prompts: False
     filter_overlong_prompts_workers: 1
     truncation: error
     image_key: images
     trust_remote_code: True
     custom_cls:
        path: null
        name: null

- ``data.train_files``: Training set parquet. Can be a list or a single
  file. The program will read all files into memory, so it can't be too
  large (< 100GB). The path can be either local path or HDFS path. For
  HDFS path, we provide utils to download it to DRAM and convert the
  HDFS path to local path.
- ``data.val_files``: Validation parquet. Can be a list or a single
  file.
- ``data.prompt_key``: The field in the dataset where the prompt is
  located. Default is 'prompt'.
- ``data.max_prompt_length``: Maximum prompt length. All prompts will be
  left-padded to this length. An error will be reported if the length is
  too long
- ``data.max_response_length``: Maximum response length. Rollout in RL
  algorithms (e.g. PPO) generates up to this length
- ``data.train_batch_size``: Batch size sampled for one training
  iteration of different RL algorithms.
- ``data.return_raw_input_ids``: Whether to return the original
  input_ids without adding chat template. This is mainly used to
  accommodate situations where the reward model's chat template differs
  from the policy. It needs to be decoded first, then apply the RM's
  chat template. If using a model-based RM, and the policy and RM
  chat_templates are different, this flag needs to be set
- ``data.return_raw_chat``: Whether to return the original chat (prompt)
  without applying chat template.
- ``data.return_full_prompt``: Whether to return the full prompt with chat template
- ``data.shuffle``: Whether to shuffle the data in the dataloader.
- ``data.filter_overlong_prompts``: Default don't filter.
- ``data.filter_overlong_prompts_workers``: For large-scale dataset, filtering
  overlong prompts could be timeconsuming. You cat set the ``filter_overlong_prompts_workers``
  to use multiprocessing for speed up. Default to 1.
- ``data.truncation``: Truncate the input_ids or prompt length if they
  exceed max_prompt_length. Default is 'error', not allow exceed the
  max_prompt_length. The users should increase the max_prompt_length if
  throwing the error. You can also set ``left`` and ``right``.
- ``data.image_key``: The field in the multi-modal dataset where the image is
  located. Default is 'images'.
- ``data.trust_remote_code``: If the remote tokenizer has python file, we can use this field to allow 
  using remote tokenizer. For example: moonshotai/Moonlight-16B-A3B-Instruct

**Common config for actor, rollout and reference model**

- ``actor_rollout_ref.hybrid_engine``: Whether it's a hybrid engine,
  currently only supports hybrid engine
- ``actor_rollout_ref.model.path``: Huggingface model path. This can be
  either local path or HDFS path. For HDFS path, we provide utils to
  download it to DRAM and convert the HDFS path to local path.
- ``actor_rollout_ref.model.external_libs``: Additional Python packages
  that need to be imported. Used to register models or tokenizers into
  the Huggingface system.
- ``actor_rollout_ref.model.override_config``: Used to override some of
  the model's original configurations, mainly dropout
- ``actor_rollout_ref.model.enable_gradient_checkpointing``: Whether to
  enable gradient checkpointing for the actor
- ``actor_rollout_ref.model.enable_activation_offload``: Whether to enable
  activation offloading for the actor

  a remote code model

**Actor model**

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.strategy``: fsdp or megatron. In this
  example, we use fsdp backend.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.ppo_mini_batch_size``: One sample is split
  into multiple sub-batches with batch_size=ppo_mini_batch_size for PPO
  updates. The ppo_mini_batch_size is a global num across all workers/gpus

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.ppo_micro_batch_size``: [Will be deprecated, use ppo_micro_batch_size_per_gpu] 
  Similar to gradient accumulation, the micro_batch_size_per_gpu for one forward pass,
  trading speed for GPU memory. The value represent the global view.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.ppo_micro_batch_size_per_gpu``: Similar to gradient
  accumulation, the micro_batch_size_per_gpu for one forward pass, trading speed
  for GPU memory. The value represent the local num per gpu.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.grad_clip``: Gradient clipping for actor
  updates
- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.use_kl_loss``: to use kl loss in actor. When used, we are not applying KL in the reward function.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.clip_ratio``: PPO clip ratio

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.use_torch_compile``: Whether to use torch compile in actor

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.entropy_coeff``: The weight of entropy when
  calculating PPO loss. The default value is changed to 0.0 since v0.3.x

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.ppo_epochs``: Number of epochs for PPO
  updates on one set of sampled data

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.data_loader_seed``: From torch 2.6.0 Megatron backend can get wrong seed generated by pytorch 
  between cp ranks and cause misalignment between data on these ranks, so we shall manually set the seed to avoid hanging
  issue. if ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.shuffle`` is not null, this must be set.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.shuffle``: Whether to shuffle data when
  there are multiple epochs

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.optim``: Actor's optimizer parameters

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.fsdp_config``: FSDP config for actor
  training

  - ``wrap_policy``: FSDP wrap policy. By default, it uses Huggingface's
    wrap policy, i.e., wrapping by DecoderLayer

    - No need to set transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap, so we comment it.

  - ``*_offload``: Whether to enable parameter, gradient and optimizer
    offload

    - Trading speed for GPU memory.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.use_kl_loss``: Whether to enable kl loss. Default is False.

How to calculate the kl divergence between actor and reference policy. For specific options, refer to `kl_penalty()` in `core_algos.py <https://github.com/volcengine/verl/blob/main/verl/trainer/ppo/core_algos.py>`_ . See this blog post for detailed analysis: http://joschu.net/blog/kl-approx.html

- ``actor_rollout_ref.actor.checkpoint``: The configurations of checkpoint function in actor

  - ``contents``: The contents to save in the checkpoint. By default, we save model, optimizer and extra information in the checkpoint.
    The extra information includes Rng states currently, FSDP supported lr_scheduler, and Megatron opt_param_scheduler will coming soon.
    We do not store hf_model in checkpoint by default, but we provide a tool in `scripts/model_merge.py` to convert checkpoint format to hf format.

**Reference Model**

Reference model will be enabled when ``actor.use_kl_loss`` or/and ``algorithm.use_kl_in_reward`` is/are True.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.ref``: FSDP config same as actor. **For models
  larger than 7B, it's recommended to turn on offload for ref by
  default**

- ``actor_rollout_ref.ref.log_prob_micro_batch_size``: [Will be deprecate, use log_prob_micro_batch_size_per_gpu]
  The batch size for one forward pass in the computation of ``ref_log_prob``. The value represent the global num.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.ref.log_prob_micro_batch_size_per_gpu``: The batch size

- Rollout (Auto-regressive) parameters. The key should be equal to the
  property name in vLLM's ``SamplingParams``.

  - ``temperature``, ``top_k``, ``top_p`` and others: Sampling
    parameters in ``SamplingParams``.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.dtype``: Rollout model parameters type. This should be align with
  the actor model parameter type in FSDP/Megatron backend.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.gpu_memory_utilization``:

  - For vLLM v0.5.4 and v0.6.3: The proportion of the **remaining** GPU memory
    allocated for kv cache after other models have initialized when using
    vLLM.
  - For vLLM v0.7.0 and later: The fraction of **total** GPU memory to be used for the vLLM instance.
  - For SGLang: Corresponding to ``mem_fraction_static``, the fraction of the free GPU memory used for **static** memory like model weights and KV cache. 

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.tensor_model_parallel_size``: TP size for rollout. Only effective
  for vllm.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.log_prob_micro_batch_size``: [Will be deprecate, use log_prob_micro_batch_size_per_gpu]
  The batch size for one forward pass in the computation of ``log_prob``. The value represent the global num.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.log_prob_micro_batch_size_per_gpu``: Micro batch size per gpu (The batch size for
  one forward pass) for recalculating ``log_prob``. The value represent the local num per gpu.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.do_sample``: Whether to sample during training rollout. If set to False, the rollout model
  will perform greedy sampling.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.val_kwargs```: Sampling parameters used specifically during validation.

  - ``top_k``: Top-k sampling parameter. Default to -1 for vLLM rollout or 0 for HF rollout.
  - ``top_p``: Top-p sampling parameter. Default is 1.0 (disabled).
  - ``temperature``: Sampling temperature. Default is 0 (deterministic greedy).
  - ``n``: Number of responses to generate during validation. Default is 1.
  - ``do_sample``: Whether to use sampling during validation. Default is False for
    deterministic outputs. When set to True, the rollout will use the ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.val_kwargs`` parameters
    (top_k, top_p, temperature) to control the sampling behavior.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.engine_kwargs.vllm``: extra vllm engine args

  - ``swap_space``: swap space in GB used by the inference engine. Positive integer, e.g., ``32`` means 32 GB. ``null``: means not setting and using the engine default value (usually, e.g., 4 GB for vLLM)

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.engine_kwargs.sglang``: extra sglang engine args

  - ``attention_backend``: The attention backend to use for the inference engine.

    - ``null``: means not setting and using the engine default value (usually, e.g., ``fa3`` for SGLang)
    - ``flashinfer``: Use flashinfer attention backend.
    - ``triton``: Use triton attention backend.
    - ``flashmla``: Use flashmla attention backend.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.ignore_eos``: Whether to ignore the EOS
  token and continue generating tokens after the EOS token is generated.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.free_cache_engine``: Offload the KVCache
  after rollout generation stage. Default is True. When set to True, we
  need to disable the usage of CUDAGraph (set ``enforce_eager`` to
  True.)

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.enforce_eager``: Whether to use CUDAGraph
  in vLLM generation. Default set to True to disable CUDAGraph.

- ``actor_rollout_ref.rollout.load_format``: Which weight loader to use
  to load the actor model weights to the rollout model.

  - ``auto``: Use Megatron weight loader.
  - ``megatron``: Use Megatron weight loader. Deployed with Megatron
    backend. The input model ``state_dict()`` is already partitioned
    along TP dimension and already gathered along PP dimension. This
    weight loader requires that the Rollout model and Actor model's
    parameters shape and name should be identical.
  - ``dtensor``: Default solution when using Huggingface weight loader.
    Deployed with FSDP backend and the state_dict_type is
    ``StateDictType.SHARDED_STATE_DICT``. Recommend to use this weight
    loader
  - ``hf``: Use Huggingface weight loader. Deployed with FSDP backend
    and the state_dict_type is ``StateDictType.FULL_STATE_DICT``. This
    solution doesn't need to rewrite the weight loader for each model
    implemented in vLLM but it results in larger peak memory usage.
  - ``dummy_hf``, ``dummy_megatron``, ``dummy_dtensor``: Random
    initialization.

.. note:: **NOTED**: In this config field, users only need to select from ``dummy_megatron``, ``dummy_dtensor``, ``dummy_hf`` for rollout initialization and our hybrid engine will select the corresponding weight loader (i.e., ``megatron``, ``dtensor``, ``hf``) during actor/rollout weight synchronization.

Critic Model
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most parameters for Critic are similar to Actor Model.

Reward Model
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: yaml

   reward_model:
     enable: False
     model:
       input_tokenizer: ${actor_rollout_ref.model.path}  # set this to null if the chat template is identical
       path: ~/models/Anomy-RM-v0.1
       external_lib: ${actor_rollout_ref.model.external_lib}
       trust_remote_code: False
       fsdp_config:
         min_num_params: 0
         param_offload: False
     micro_batch_size_per_gpu: 16
     max_length: null
     reward_manager: naive

- ``reward_model.enable``: Whether to enable reward model. If False, we
  compute the reward only with the user-defined reward functions. In
  GSM8K and Math examples, we disable reward model. For RLHF alignment
  example using full_hh_rlhf, we utilize reward model to assess the
  responses. If False, the following parameters are not effective.
- ``reward_model.model``

  - ``input_tokenizer``: Input tokenizer. If the reward model's chat
    template is inconsistent with the policy, we need to first decode to
    plaintext, then apply the rm's chat_template. Then score with RM. If
    chat_templates are consistent, it can be set to null.
  - ``path``: RM's HDFS path or local path. Note that RM only supports
    AutoModelForSequenceClassification. Other model types need to define
    their own RewardModelWorker and pass it from the code.
  - ``trust_remote_code``: Whether to enable loading a remote code model,
    default to False.
- ``reward_model.reward_manager``:  Reward Manager. This defines the mechanism
  of computing rule-based reward and handling different reward sources. Default
  is ``naive``. If all verification functions are multiprocessing-safe, the reward
  manager can be set to ``prime`` for parallel verification.

   custom_reward_function:
     path: null
     name: compute_score

- ``custom_reward_function.path``: The path to the file containing your customized reward function. If not specified, pre-implemented reward functions will be used.

Data
~~~~

.. code:: yaml

   data:
     path: /tmp/math_Qwen2-7B-Instruct.parquet
     prompt_key: prompt
     response_key: responses
     data_source_key: data_source
     reward_model_key: reward_model

- ``data.path``: Path to the dataset file (Parquet format).
- ``data.prompt_key``: The field in the dataset where the prompt is located. Default is 'prompt'.
- ``data.response_key``: The key holds the generated responses. This should be a list of strings representing the responses. Default is 'responses'.
- ``data.data_source_key``: This is used to separate metric calculations for different data sources, ensuring that metrics are calculated independently for each source.
- ``data.reward_model_key``: The key holds the reference answers. These reference answers typically serve as the ground truth or test cases for the task.

Customized Reward Function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: yaml
  
   custom_reward_function:
     path: null
     name: compute_score

- ``custom_reward_function.path``: The path to the file containing your customized reward function. If not specified, pre-implemented reward functions will be used.
- ``custom_reward_function.name`` (Optional) : The name of the reward function within the specified file. Default is 'compute_score'.

   optim:
     lr: 1e-5
     weight_decay: 0.01
     warmup_steps_ratio: 0.1
     clip_grad: 1.0
     lr_scheduler: cosine

- ``optim.lr``: Learning rate for the optimizer.
- ``optim.weight_decay``: Weight decay for the optimizer.
- ``optim.warmup_steps_ratio``: Ratio of warmup steps to total training steps.
- ``optim.clip_grad``: Gradient clipping value.
- ``optim.lr_scheduler``: Learning rate scheduler type. Options:

  - ``cosine``: Cosine learning rate scheduler with warmup (default).
  - ``wsd``: Warmup-Stable-Decay scheduler that provides a stable learning rate phase between warmup and decay phases.
