Brown: GRPO is more memory efficient and easier to distribute
“GRPO is, like, great for, like, leaning heavy on highly parallel inference compute. It's more memory efficient for the actual training process. It's much easier to do in a distributed fashion because you have less gradient syncing and less model weight copies.”

No legitimate open-source million-token context models exist at scale
“Scaling to, like, million token contexts is, like, really, really hard. There, I don't think there are real, like, open source replications, open token context scaling, Beyond, like, tiny, like, academic model sizes.”
