Libra: Efficient Resource Management for Agentic RL Post-Training
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.03077v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a standard post-training paradigm for shaping large language models (LLMs) into capable agents. In agentic RL, the rollout stage generates trajectories while invoking tools, producing long-tailed and non-stationary workloads that expose two fundamental challenges. First, due to the long-tailed response distribution, a small fraction of trajectories dominates rollout makespan.Second, rollout and training differ in their compute patterns, memory demands, and sensitivity to sequence length.
