Reinforcement learning (RL) is becoming increasingly important for post-training large language models (LLMs). Previous RL pipelines for LLMs were mostly synchronous and batch-interleaved, which is inefficient for long-horizon agentic tasks.

arXiv:2604. 26256v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical paradigm for LLM post-training, yet the rollout phase -- accounting for 50--80% of total step time -- is bottlenecked by skewed generation: long-tailed trajectories indispensable for model performance block the entire training pipeline.

ThunderSyncRL is a training framework that eliminates idle time in agentic reinforcement learning by starting gradient computation immediately once all necessary inputs are available, thereby avoiding policy staleness. It applies to group relative policy optimization (GRPO) by computing trajectory score gradients as soon as rewards arrive, and to on‑policy distillation (OPD) by updating gradients for completed agentic turns while tool calls execute. Experiments on SWE‑bench Verified and Terminal Bench 4.0 show that ThunderSyncRL matches synchronous training performance up to 1.9× faster and outperforms asynchronous training by up to 2.47 percentage points at a fixed budget.
