✨ Description

Adds GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) implementation for LLM Reinforcement Learning. GRPO delivers PPO-level performance gains for mathematical reasoning while using significantly less memory (no critic model needed), and can achieve substantial accuracy improvements using just existing instruction tuning data.
