Introduction

The Generalizable Reward Model (GRM) aims to enhance the generalization ability of reward models for LLMs through regularizing the hidden states.

Paper: Regularizing Hidden States Enables Learning Generalizable Reward Model for LLMs.

The framework is shown above. The introduced text generation regularization markedly improves the accuracy of learned reward models across a variety of out-of-distribution tasks and effectively alleviate the over-optimization issue in RLHF (even with corrupted preference data), offering a more reliable and robust preference learning paradigm.

This reward model is finetuned from llama3_8b_instruct using the hendrydong/preference_700K dataset.

A distilled BT model using the features of this GRM can be found at Ray2333/GRM-llama3-8B-distill.

Evaluation

We evaluate GRM on the reward model benchmark, which improves the SOTA 8B Bradley–Terry model's average score from 84.7 to 87.0.

Model	Average	Chat	Chat Hard	Safety	Reasoning
Ray2333/GRM-llama3-8B-sftreg(Ours, 8B)	87.0	98.6	67.8	89.4	92.3
Ray2333/GRM-llama3-8B-distill(Ours, 8B)	86.1	98.3	68.4	86.1	91.3
openai/gpt-4-0125-preview	85.9	95.3	74.3	87.2	86.9
sfairXC/FsfairX-LLaMA3-RM-v0.1 (8B)	84.7	99.4	65.1	87.8	86.4

Usage

Note 1: Please download the model.py file from this repository to ensure the structure is loaded correctly and verify that the v_head is properly initialized.

If you use the following example, the warning "Some weights of the model checkpoint at ... were not used when initializing LlamaForCausalLM" can be just omitted. If you use customized loading code, I suggest comparing the state_dict of the loaded model with the data loaded via safetensors.safe_open(xx.safetensors) or torch.load(xx.bin). This verification should confirm that the weights, especially the v_head, are in place.

Note 2: loading llama3 model into 8 bit could lead to performance degradation.
