TRL v1.2 introduces the SSDTrainer 🚀
Simple Self-Distillation (SSD) from Apple's paper "Embarrassingly Simple Self-Distillation Improves Code Generation" is now available as an experimental trainer in TRL.
The recipe is as minimal as the name suggests: sample completions from the model itself at a training-time temperature, then fine-tune on those raw, unverified samples with plain cross-entropy. No reward model. No verifier. No teacher model. No reinforcement learning. Just prompts and the model.
v1.2 also ships expanded tool-calling support (LLaMA 3.1 / 3.2, DeepSeek-V3), another round of KTO ↔ DPO alignment getting us closer to promoting KTO to stable, a big GRPO simplification for overlong tool results, deprecation of

Earlier this month, Apple introduced Simple Self-Distillation: a fine-tuning method that improves models on coding tasks just by sampling from the model and training on its own outputs with plain cross-entropy
And… it's already supported in TRL, built by Kashif Rasul. you can really feel the pace of development in the team 🐎
Paper by Ruixiang ZHANG, He Bai, Huangjie Zheng, Navdeep Jaitly, Ronan Collobert, Yizhe Zhang at Apple 🍎
How it works: the model generates completions at a training-time temperature (T_train) with top_k/top_p truncation, then fine-tunes on them with plain cross-entropy. no labels or verifier needed
You can try it right away with this ready-to-run example (Qwen3-4B on rStar-Coder):
https://github.com/huggingface/trl/blob/main/trl/experimental/ssd/ssd.py
or benchmark a checkpoint with the eval script:
https://github.com/huggingface/trl/blob/main/trl/experimental/ssd/ssd_eval.py
One neat insight from the paper: T_train and T_eval compose into an effective T_eff = T_train × T_eval, so a broad band of configs works well. even very noisy samples still help

Great experience yesterday at PyTorch Conf Europe in Paris 🇫🇷
We (w/ @kashif ) talked about training LLMs through interaction, using trajectories across games, browsers, or simulators
Room was packed, a clear sign of interest in where RL post-training is heading.
sharing the slides! 🤓

Gemma 4 💎 is here and it’s strong!
to celebrate, we’re rolling out in TRL:
> support for multimodal tool responses for environments (OpenEnv)
> an example to train it in CARLA for autonomous driving with image-based tool calls
go check it out 🏎️🏎️

TRL is officially an adult 🥳
excited to announce TRL v1.0❗️
head to the blog to see how we got here and what’s next for this post-training library, designed to keep pace with the field

TRL v1.0 is out!
Hugging Face's TRL library is downloaded 3 million times a month. Over 130k models trained with it are public on the Hub, and major projects like @unsloth and @axolotl-ai-co build directly on top of it. v1.0 is the moment we acknowledged that responsibility explicitly, with a real stability contract.
The field hasn't settled. Building stable software in a domain that keeps invalidating its own assumptions is the actual problem we're solving. The answer is a design that can absorb the next shift without breaking what people rely on.
What's in v1.0:
Deep Hugging Face integration, low infrastructure burden
What's next: asynchronous GRPO, better scaling support, and making training legible enough that agents can inspect and steer it.
