What is DPO (Direct Preference Optimization)?

Source: local-llm.net/glossary

An alignment training technique that directly optimizes the model to prefer human-preferred outputs over rejected outputs, without needing a separate reward model (unlike RLHF). DPO is simpler and more stable than RLHF, making it popular for fine-tuning local models.
