LLaDA-Instruct-JustGRPO

This model is LLaDA-8B-Instruct fine-tuned with JustGRPO on GSM8K.

It was introduced in the paper The Flexibility Trap: Why Arbitrary Order Limits Reasoning Potential in Diffusion Language Models.

Method

JustGRPO is a minimalist RL approach for diffusion language models. Instead of complex diffusion-specific RL adaptations, we simply treat dLLMs as autoregressive models during training and apply standard GRPO. See our paper for details.
