RollArt: Disaggregated Multi-Task Agentic RL Training at Scale

arXiv:2512. 22560v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) trains LLMs through multi-turn interactions with environments, producing workloads that mix compute-bound prefill, bandwidth-bound decoding, CPU-heavy environment execution, and bursty reward evaluation.

RL-VLA$^3$: A Flexible and Asynchronous Reinforcement Learning Framework for VLA Training

RL-VLA$^3$ is a fully asynchronous distributed reinforcement learning framework designed for Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) model training. It allows fine‑grained asynchronous interaction between simulation, inference, and training via dynamic batching schedulers and flexible environment sharding, addressing the variable, resource‑intensive latencies of physical simulators. Experiments across multiple simulation backends, VLA architectures, and RL algorithms show throughput gains of up to 85.2% over synchronous baselines while preserving sample efficiency, and the system scales from 8 to 256 GPUs.

WeightBridge: An Efficient Weight Transfer Library for Reinforcement Learning

WeightBridge is a lightweight library that streamlines weight transfer between trainers and rollout generators in reinforcement learning systems, particularly for large language models. It automatically maps trainer and rollout weight layouts, then performs redundancy‑free, load‑balanced transfers while supporting various synchronization modes. Experiments show that WeightBridge can cut GPU stall time by up to 42× compared to leading open‑source RL frameworks, and it was easily integrated into two different frameworks by a coding agent.

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.
