openrlhf-training

openrlhf-training is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ihatesea69/HieuNghi-AI-Skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (2,537 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of openrlhf-training, MIT.

Guidance for OpenRLHF, a framework for training large language models with reinforcement learning. Reinforcement learning trains a model using scores or preferences, and OpenRLHF uses Ray to distribute work across GPUs while vLLM speeds up text generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure or debug RLHF training for models from about 7B to 70B parameters, including reward models, critics, actors, and vLLM-based generation.
Why use it?
Reinforcement-learning training involves several models, workers, and GPU resources, making setup and coordination difficult. This add-on provides patterns for PPO, GRPO, RLOO, and DPO training with distributed components.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

openrlhf-training scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

OpenRLHF - High-Performance RLHF Training

Quick start

OpenRLHF is a Ray-based RLHF framework optimized for distributed training with vLLM inference acceleration.

Installation:

# Launch Docker container
docker run --runtime=nvidia -it --rm --shm-size="10g" --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
  -v $PWD:/openrlhf nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:25.02-py3 bash

# Uninstall conflicts
sudo pip uninstall xgboost transformer_engine flash_attn pynvml -y

# Install OpenRLHF with vLLM
pip install openrlhf[vllm]

PPO Training (Hybrid Engine):

ray start --head --node-ip-address 0.0.0.0 --num-gpus 8

ray job submit --address="http://127.0.0.1:8265" \

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
