Solve technical alignment before capability thresholds closeCo-developed early RLHF methods that became the foundation of post-training across the industry; argues these techniques transfer responsibility for behaviour onto whoever sets up the human feedback.
Our results show that for English summarization, RLHF-trained models can outperform much larger fine-tuned models. The technique is powerful and inherits all the strengths and biases of the human raters.
