Documenting some issue we need to solve before GRPO works well with Olmo-core, following up on #1543

  • save_hf_model doesn't work with Qwen
  • multi-gpu run seems to get stuck on (DataPreparationActor pid=127051) 2026-03-22 20:33:10 - INFO - data_loader.py:1203 - [DataPreparationActor] Step 2: waiting for step 1 to be consumed. whereas single-gpu run seems fine
  • add ability to set attention backend like dpo.py, some logging from Olmo-core seems to be suggesting using the torch backend
  • packing?

things to double-check

  • make sure we're correctly normalizing the loss
