Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback in Distributed Systems
summary
Claims that RLHF scales on Kubernetes clusters using DeepSpeed and Lightning AI with NVLink and NCCL for low‑latency multiGPU sync, running 4–8 GPUs per pod and weeks‑long runs with checkpointing and gradient accumulation. Reports using Scale AI and Marker for millions of labels and terabytes of state, and that reinforcement‑based fine‑tuning can generate new labels to cut labeling time. Notes concrete failures: reward hacking, coordination/network bottlenecks, and the promise of federated RLHF on edge devices.
