Abstract:Recent advances in language models have established reinforcement learning as the primary paradigm for eliciting self-correction and long-chain reasoning. While group relative policy optimization (GRPO) offers superior scalability by eliminating the critic network, deploying it on a central infrastructure entails collecting a large volume of data from distributed owners, which poses significant privacy risks. To address these concerns, we introduce federated GRPO (FGRPO), a framework designed to decentralize the fine-tuning of reasoning models across heterogeneous data owners. To effectively mitigate the instability caused by divergent reward scales across heterogeneous tasks, FGRPO incorporates an adaptive aggregation mechanism based on relative performance gain. By characterizing each client's improvement relative to its personalized historical baseline, the framework dynamically prioritizes effective learning trajectories regardless of local task difficulty. FGRPO ensures robust convergence on non-IID data while preserving data privacy.
