AsyncFlow: An Asynchronous Streaming RL Framework for Efficient LLM Post-Training

AsyncFlow is an asynchronous streaming reinforcement learning framework designed to improve the post‑training phase of large language models. It introduces a distributed data storage and transfer module that enables panoramic data management and fine‑grained scheduling, allowing automated pipeline overlapping and dynamic load balancing. The framework also employs an asynchronous producer‑consumer workflow to reduce computational idleness by deferring parameter updates within staleness thresholds, and it is architecturally decoupled from training and inference engines, providing modular, customizable user interfaces. Experiments show an average throughput improvement of 1.59× over the state‑of‑the‑art baseline.

TideRL: Boosting Agentic RL Goodput with Readiness-Aware Scheduling

arXiv:2608. 10402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models is moving toward multi-turn agentic workloads, where rollout tasks repeatedly pause for external environments, resume with growing contexts, and finish at highly variable times.

TIDE: Temporal Incremental Draft Engine for Self-Improving LLM Inference

TIDE (Temporal Incremental Draft Engine) is a serving‑engine‑native framework that integrates online draft adaptation into high‑performance LLM inference. By reusing intermediate hidden states from the target model as training signals, TIDE avoids extra target model computation and serving‑time overhead, activating speculation and draft training only when beneficial. On heterogeneous GPU clusters, TIDE achieves up to 1.66× higher throughput than no‑speculation baselines, reduces training time by up to 3.02×, cuts storage needs by 24×, and improves system throughput by up to 1.22×.
