Aug 1, 2025Summary for 2025-08: Delivered a suite of GRPO enhancements in nvidia-cosmos/cosmos-rl that improve performance, reliability, and experimentation capability. Key features include full on-policy GRPO support with a project-wide rename to on_policy, GRPO model revision support for HF models, and LoRA integration with modules_to_save. Performance improvements include always computing and reporting grad_norm and memory optimizations for GRPO logits, enabling faster training iterations and better resource usage. Training robustness was enhanced with LR decay scheduler support and several stability fixes, including a fix to the LR scheduler, disabling the prefix cache by default to prevent unintended caching, and improved val_score reporting gating when validation is disabled. Additional enhancements include activation checkpointing refactor, deterministic mode, and data loader optimizations for quicker resume after checkpoints, along with targeted bug fixes that improve checkpoint resume reliability and correct edge cases in checkpoint selection and min_filter_prefix_tokens.
