feat(studio): GRPO customizer form - #1468
Conversation
…validation Adds the GRPO input flow on top of the RL/DPO backend support, which is cherry-picked here because aalgo-418/solu branched from main a day before that work merged. It drops out on the next rebase that carries #1440. Form: - DPO/GRPO method toggle. `rl.training` is shared by both methods, so switching resets it to that method's defaults — otherwise DPO inherits GRPO's step budget and skipped end validation, and vice versa. - Reward Environment section: fileset picker, gym manifest inspection, and package validation mirroring the backend's pydantic validators and `validate_package_layout` (format, metadata.name, config_paths shape and presence, adapter.agent, wheels/, stray *.jsonl). - GRPO parameters: rollout and reward, training, and parameter efficiency, including temperature, max_new_tokens, val_at_start and overlong_filtering. - Expert parallel size alongside TP/PP/CP, for MoE models. Dataset validation: - GRPO rows require only `responses_create_params` and `agent_ref`, matching the backend's GRPO_SCHEMA. Requiring `vf_env_id` rejected every dataset targeting a Gym agent other than verifiers_agent. - A reward environment fileset is required before a GRPO job can be submitted. Parallelism and batch consistency are left to the backend's existing `validate_for_training`, which rejects an invalid split at submit.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe customization workflow now supports GRPO alongside DPO. It adds GRPO form controls, reward-environment fileset validation, GRPO schema detection, separate request serialization, and updated dataset and job display behavior. ChangesGRPO customization

checkpoints ranked by validation reward or score, rather than validation loss,
consistent with the GRPO validation behavior.

…tion Review follow-ups on the GRPO customizer form: - Config side panel showed blank Epochs/Max Steps/Seed/Learning Rate/Weight Decay for RL jobs. RL flattens these onto spec.training under the same names instead of splitting them into spec.schedule / spec.optimizer, so read them from there for RL and leave the other backends untouched. - Switching between DPO and GRPO reset the shared rl.training wholesale, discarding the user's parallelism, learning rate, batch size and max sequence length. The two default sets differ only in max_steps, val_at_end and ref_policy_kl_penalty, so carry the rest across the switch. - Mirror the backend's _generation_length_fits_context validator so a max_new_tokens larger than max_seq_length is caught in the form rather than rejected at submit. - max_new_tokens was the one GRPO field initialized without a default fallback, so cloning a job that omitted it left the value undefined. - GRPO ranks checkpoints by val:total_reward/mean with higher_is_better, not by validation loss; correct the keep_top_k help text. The DPO control keeps the loss wording, which is accurate for that path. Signed-off-by: Henrique Tolentino <htolentino@nvidia.com>
