contents Post-training using online reinforcement learning (RL) is an important training step for LLMs, including code-generating models. However, online RL for code generation involves LLM inference and verification of the generated output, which can take considerable time and resources. In this paper, we explore the application of offline RL to code-generating models by leveraging existing code datasets. Our experiments demonstrate that offline RL is an effective training strategy for improving LLM performance. We show that offline RL can be especially beneficial for small LLMs and challenging coding problems.
