# System Behavior: Training > Living document. Updated by `/archive-spec` when features are completed. > Last archived: F006 on 2026-03-28 --- ## Training Pipeline ### Training notebook produces a trained model from one-click execution The system accepts a `notebooks/train_grpo.ipynb` notebook that, when run end-to-end, downloads a HuggingFace model, trains it on SQLEnv episodes using GRPO, and saves the trained weights to a configurable output directory. ### Training produces a learning curve showing reward improvement After training completes, the notebook displays a matplotlib plot of reward over training steps, showing whether the model learned to improve its SQL exploration strategy over the course of training. ### Training produces side-by-side episode transcripts After training completes, the notebook displays episode transcripts comparing random-action baseline episodes against trained-model episodes on the same questions, showing the difference in exploration behavior. ### Rollout function plays SQLEnv episodes via model generation The system accepts a batch of question prompts and returns episode completions by playing full SQLEnv episodes: resetting the environment, generating actions with HF model.generate(), parsing them into SQLActions, and stepping the environment until the episode ends. ### Reward functions return per-completion scores for GRPO training The system accepts TRL-format completion batches and returns float reward lists from three independent callables: correctness (binary 0/1), progress (normalized cumulative progress), and operational (sum of per-step L1 signals). ### Unparseable model output falls back to QUERY action When the model produces text that cannot be parsed as `ACTION_TYPE: argument` format, the system defaults to a QUERY action with the raw text as the argument, allowing the episode to continue rather than crashing.
