arXiv:2608.11226v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement-learning post-training dominates modern language-model development, yet its power behavior on GPU hardware has not been characterized, and datacenters manage GPU power with workload-blind mechanisms, static caps and reactive throttling, that slow hardware indiscriminately. We instrument GRPO training with half-second power telemetry at 7B, 14B, and 72B scales on one to four A100s (380,000+ samples), and train a PPO meta-controller that adapts the workload's own generation parameters to measured power. Against the full 500-step 7B trace, the controller cuts power-limit violations by 89.8% while increasing token output by 18.1% and
