EHRGym GRPO Reinforcement Learning Script (Unsloth)
=====================================================
Trains a model with GRPO to interact with the live EHRGym environment.
The model learns to navigate the EHR, place orders, and write notes
by receiving reward signals from the rubric evaluator.
Prerequisites:
1. EHRGym running: npm run dev (Next.js + env server)
2. Dependencies: pip install -r requirements-train.txt
Usage (on H100):
python scripts/train_grpo.py \
--model unsloth/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct \
--output runs/checkpoints/ehrgym-grpo \
--max-steps 500 --num-generations 4
Quick smoke test:
python scripts/train_grpo.py \
--model unsloth/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct \
--output runs/checkpoints/ehrgym-grpo-tiny \
--max-steps 20 --num-generations 2 --lora-r 16
