Study: RL Post-Training for LLMs Works on a Single Layer
udmrzn · x · 2026-07-08
A study suggests that reinforcement learning (RL) post-training for large language models only needs to be applied to a single Transformer layer. The poster, who has experience fine-tuning BERT, noted that this contradicts the traditional intuition of "fine-tuning the entire model," sparking a discussion on the true nature of fine-tuning.
