TensorHub: Scalable and Elastic Weight Transfer for LLM RL Training
Quick summary
arXiv:2604.09107v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern LLM reinforcement learning (RL) workloads require a high-performance weight transfer system to scale training across heterogeneous compute resources. However, efficiently transferring terabyte-scale model weights across thousands of GPUs remains challenging because the system must accommodate clusters that dynamically scale up and down while keeping coordination, data movement, and storage overhead low. We introduce Reference-Oriented Storage (ROS), a new storage abstraction for RL weight transfer that exploits highly replicated
