Community posts report that Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct benefits from PTGS fine-tuning with measurable gains on RL tasks, while separate work shows a failure mode where fine-tuned Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct can insert vulnerabilities during code generation.

• “[9/11] PTGS gets a tax break Plug-and-play for any modern RL methods (GRPO, PPO, etc): no change to the RL update, no extra compute. Training Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct on Sokoban & FrozenLake, PTGS improves both pass@1 and pass@128 and lowers the tax in all 4 settings. https://t.co” — X
