Summary

Adds training.log_nemo_gym_full_result_tables (default false) to GRPO jobs. When enabled, NeMo-RL logs each rollout's full NeMo-Gym result payload to the user's own W&B as a Table under <agent>/full_result.

Today there is no way to read a rollout's generated text. The per-step train_data_step*.jsonl is written by default but carries generations as token ids with an empty content field — nemo_gym.py sets "content": "" on both the user and assistant messages. The W&B full-result table is the only surface where NeMo-RL exposes decoded text (prompt_str / generation_str) alongside every reward component the environment returned.

NeMo-RL already supports the setting end to end: it reads it off logger.wandb, gates the tables on wandb_enabled AND flag, and pops the key before wandb.init(). The platform already passes a W&B config block through. The switch just wasn't exposed.

Changes

  • GRPOTraining.log_nemo_gym_full_result_tables -> GRPOConfig -> compiler -> injected into cfg["logger"]["wandb"] in grpo_config.py.
  • Placed on GRPOTraining rather than the shared IntegrationsSpec.wandb, which is also used by automodel SFT where a Gym flag is meaningless.
  • Layered on after the shared DPO/GRPO _build_logger_config, since it's GRPO-only.
  • Validation: setting the flag without integrations.wandb is rejected at submit. NeMo-RL skips the tables entirely when W&B is off, so without this the flag is a silent no-op and the user goes looking for rollouts that were never logged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional GRPO training setting to log complete NeMo-Gym rollout results as W&B Tables.
    • The setting is disabled by default and can be enabled for runs using W&B logging.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added validation to prevent enabling full result-table logging without a configured W&B integration.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new GRPO hyperparameter and its W&B integration requirement.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds log_nemo_gym_full_result_tables to GRPO configuration. The option defaults to false, requires W&B when enabled, propagates through job compilation, and configures NeMo-RL W&B logging.

Changes

GRPO rollout logging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logging option contract
plugins/nemo-customizer/openapi/openapi.yaml, plugins/nemo-customizer/src/nemo_customizer/skills/nemo-customizer/references/hyperparameters-rl.md, services/rl/src/nmp/rl/app/jobs/training/schemas.py, services/rl/src/nmp/rl/schemas/job.py
The new boolean option is documented and disabled by default.
Validation and configuration propagation
services/rl/src/nmp/rl/schemas/job.py, services/rl/src/nmp/rl/app/jobs/compiler.py, services/rl/tests/test_schemas.py
Enabled logging requires integrations.wandb. The option passes from the job specification into GRPO configuration.
W&B backend wiring and tests
services/rl/src/nmp/rl/tasks/training/backends/nemo_rl/grpo_config.py, services/rl/tests/test_grpo_config.py
The backend sets the option under logger.wandb only when W&B logging is configured. Tests cover default, enabled, disabled, and policy-isolation cases.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dec32

When enabled, this change sends complete rollout content—including readable prompts, generations, and reward details—to the configured W&B destination. The option is disabled by default and requires W&B configuration, but payload filtering and destination authorization are not established, so security-owner acceptance or follow-up hardening is needed before merging.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 12 included reviews per hour; 11 remain after this review.

| `hf_config_overrides` | `null` | Passed to NeMo-RL's `policy.hf_config_overrides` verbatim, which forwards it to the training model as HuggingFace config kwargs and to vLLM as `hf_overrides`. Nesting is preserved, so this reaches models that namespace their config — Qwen3.5 reads the router coefficient under `text_config`, i.e. `{"text_config": {"router_aux_loss_coef": 0.0}}`. Setting `router_aux_loss_coef` here *and* as its own field is rejected at submit time. |
| `vllm_tensor_parallel_size` | `null` | Tensor parallelism for the rollout engine alone. Defaults to `min(parallelism.tensor_parallel_size, parallelism.num_gpus_per_node)`. Set it when the model needs several GPUs to hold inference weights but you want the policy trained at a different tensor-parallel size. |
| `vllm_gpu_memory_utilization` | `0.5` | Fraction of each GPU vLLM reserves for weights plus KV cache. Raise toward `0.7` for large models, which otherwise cannot load their weight shard. |
| `log_nemo_gym_full_result_tables` | `false` | Log every rollout's full NeMo-Gym result payload to the user's own W&B as a Table (`<agent>/full_result`). **This is the only place the generated text is readable** — the per-step `train_data_step*.jsonl` carries generations as token ids and leaves `content` empty. Each row is one JSON blob holding the decoded prompt (`prompt_str`), decoded generation (`generation_str`) and every reward component the environment returned; W&B cannot sort or filter on fields *inside* that blob. Payloads are large, so enable it for short debugging runs, not steady-state training. **Requires `integrations.wandb`** — NeMo-RL skips the Tables entirely when W&B is off, so the job is rejected at submit rather than logging nothing. |

Use configured product-name substitutions.

Replace the literal NeMo-Gym and W&B names with the substitutions configured by the documentation site.

As per coding guidelines, never hardcode product names; use substitutions in Sphinx configuration to maintain consistency.
