An alignment training method that updates a language model directly from pairs of preferred and rejected responses, without training a separate reward model. DPO is simpler to implement than full RLHF and often produces comparable results, which has made it popular for open-source fine-tuning. The method was introduced in 2023.
DPO is the technique behind many open-source aligned model releases. Knowing how it differs from RLHF and when each is appropriate is an asset in AI engineering and AI safety interviews.
