ReFPO: Reflow Regularization for Flow Matching Policy Gradients (opens in new tab)

We present Reflow-regularized Flow Matching Policy Gradients (ReFPO), a simple online RL method that adds explicit Reflow regularization to FPO for efficient flow-based control. We uncover a key structural property: the gradient updates in Flow Matching Policy Gradients (FPO) can be interpreted as an implicit advantage-weighted Reflow process, providing a new geometric perspective on flow-based policy gradients. Building on this insight, ReFPO i...
