Production-ready GRPO training example for online RL.

GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) is an online RL method that
optimizes relative to group performance. Best for tasks with automatic
reward signals like code execution or math verification.

Usage with hf_jobs MCP tool:
    hf_jobs("uv", {
        "script": '''<paste this entire file>''',
        "flavor": "a10g-large",
        "timeout": "4h",
        "secrets": {"HF_TOKEN": "$HF_TOKEN"},
    })

Or submit the script content directly inline without saving to a file.

Note: For most GRPO use cases, the TRL maintained script is recommended:
