What does this PR do?
Adds the "It Takes Two: Your GRPO Is Secretly DPO" paper (arXiv: 2510.00977)
to the GRPOTrainer section of the paper index, sorted by publish date (October 2025).
The paper establishes a formal connection between GRPO and DPO, showing that
GRPO's effectiveness stems from an implicit contrastive objective. It introduces
2-GRPO (num_generations=2), which matches 16-GRPO performance at lower training cost —
directly reproducible via GRPOConfig in TRL.
Related to #4374 (Road to v1).
