Why PPO beats GRPO on long-horizon tasks
Group-level synchronization makes long-horizon training harder, which changes the variance and staleness profile of the method

PPO is always my favorite RL algorithm, from game to LLM era DAPO identified a critical issue with PPO’s ratio clipping. However, I don’t think the clip_higher solution addresses the root cause. Our DPPO work ( http:// arxiv.org/pdf/2602.0
