AI Post-Training
Domain: the rung after supervised fine-tuning — turning a pretrained or SFT'd base
model into an aligned, preference-tuned, or reasoning-capable model with a reward signal.
This skill owns the post-training decision and pipeline: when to post-train at all, which
reward signal you can produce, which algorithm family fits, and how to keep it from
over-optimizing. Per-algorithm operational depth lives in
ai-llm/references/post-training.md (PPO, DPO, SimPO,
KTO, GRPO, GSPO, DAPO, RLVR, RULER, ORPO — catalogue + decision tree); this skill routes there.
It does not cover: pretraining (ai-pretraining),
the prompt→RAG→SFT promotion ladder (),
or serving the result ().
