🔴 🤗 Single-Rollout Asynchronous Optimization for Agentic Reinforcement Learning — score 82 Sources: huggingface · arxiv/cs.AI

Reinforcement learning (RL) is becoming increasingly important for post-training large language models (LLMs). Previous RL pipelines for LLMs were mostly synchronous and batch-interleaved, which is inefficient for long-horizon agentic tasks. Recently, asynchronous RL has emerged as a more efficient

Linear attention models allow a fixed state size and a fixed amount of compute per token. However, due to their limited state size, linear attention models fall behind in long-context recall compared to softmax-attention-based transformer architectures.
