ReFlow is a system‑algorithm co‑designed framework for efficient reinforcement learning (RL) post‑training of large language models (LLMs). It introduces replay‑driven decoupling, allowing recent trajectories to be reused multiple times to amortize rollout costs while limiting policy staleness. The architecture features a dual replay cycle, an elastic resource pool, and an adaptive scheduler, achieving up to 2.06× higher training throughput compared to existing synchronous and asynchronous RL systems without sacrificing model performance.

RollVerify is a lightweight reinforcement learning framework that addresses the trade‑off between efficiency and accuracy in long‑tail rollout settings. It introduces an off‑policy shift metric (OPS) to quantify deviation in partially generated trajectories and uses sequence‑level and token‑level verification to truncate invalid suffixes before training. Experiments on mathematical reasoning tasks show that RollVerify matches on‑policy accuracy while cutting training costs, with preliminary evidence from code‑generation tasks.

Asynchronous reinforcement learning improves throughput by decoupling rollout generation from optimization, but staleness is an inevitable byproduct compounded by policy lag, engine delays, and mixture-of-experts routing. From a trust-region perspective, this mismatch is critical: training-inference divergence governs approximation error in finite-horizon bounds, whereas PPO clipping only gates sampled outward updates, acting as a sampled surrogate rather than a full-policy constraint.
