SimPO is a reference-free preference optimization method that outperforms DPO without needing a reference model.

Loss functions: See references/loss-functions.md for sigmoid vs hinge loss, mathematical formulations, and when to use each.

Hyperparameter tuning: See references/hyperparameters.md for beta, gamma, learning rate selection guide, and model-size-specific recommendations.

Simple Preference Optimization for LLM alignment. Reference-free alternative to DPO with better performance (+6.4 points on AlpacaEval 2.0). No reference model needed, more efficient than DPO. Use for preference alignment when want simpler, faster training than DPO/PPO. Source: orchestra-research/ai-research-skills.
