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.
