A post about a paper reports that reinforcing high-contribution intermediate layers may match or outperform RL over all parameters while changing fewer parameters.
The post summarizes a paper on a post-training RL approach that trains or reinforces intermediate layers considered to have high contribution. According to the report, the result may match or outperform RL that adjusts all parameters, while changing fewer of them.
The idea is relevant to researchers exploring model-tuning strategies, but the summary does not provide enough experimental detail to assess the conditions or generalize the result.
