Junjun

Worked on the volcengine/verl repository to enable scalable Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) training for the DeepSeek-V3-Base model on Ascend NPUs. Developed a dedicated training recipe and supporting Python code that leverages rule-based rewards, focusing on optimizing memory management and parallelism for efficient training and deployment on Ascend hardware. The engineering effort addressed the challenges of distributed systems and NPU programming, paving the way for accelerated RLHF iteration cycles. This work improved cost efficiency and throughput, aligning with business goals for faster model improvement and deployment readiness, while laying a foundation for future enhancements on the Ascend architecture.
