What happened and what to do
The article, published on June 30, 2026, examines differences between training and inference in LLM post-training. Separate engines can assign inconsistent probabilities to the same trajectories. The described approach highlights TIS and rejecting checkpoint updates when training and inference rewards diverge; rejection requires additional rollouts.
A team training models could implement comparative monitoring of probabilities and rewards across both stages, recording engine and checkpoint versions. Alerts and explicit rejection criteria help detect divergence before promoting an update, while planning for additional rollouts makes the operational cost of this safeguard visible.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose exposure to training–inference divergence, define metrics and rejection criteria, and deliver a scoped implementation for collecting, monitoring, and operating the process.
