MISA-T, a routing-layer admission policy for mixed rollout serving that combines adaptive session admission, workload-aware KV-capacity allocation, and residency-time-aware KV accounting, is presented.
Abstract
Modern reinforcement learning (RL) post-training pipelines for large language models (LLMs) increasingly combine rollout workloads across multiple domains and feedback paradigms. Prefix-aware routing improves inference efficiency through cache reuse and load balancing, but it does not control how heterogeneous rollout sessions compete for KV-cache capacity. When reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), and agentic rollouts share an asynchronous inference service, their distinct sequence structures, interaction patterns, and KV-residency times create substantially different serving demands. Rollout scheduling must account for this heterogeneity without distorting the workload mixture specified by the trainer. We present MISA-T, a routing-layer admission policy for mixed rollout serving. MISA-T combines adaptive session admission, workload-aware KV-capacity allocation, and residency-time-aware KV accounting. In rollout-only ablations on Step3.7 and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, MISA-T improves rollout throughput over a sweep-tuned cache-aware vLLM Router by 53.3% and 43.6%, respectively, while maintaining high prefix-cache hit rates. In a matched 50-iteration Step3.7 experiment, it increases rollout throughput by 35.6% and reduces mean iteration time by 22.8%, while keeping the consumed workload mixture close to the trainer target and achieving comparable task scores.
This work proposes WAR, a workload-aware rollout system that substantially accelerates synchronous agentic RL by jointly optimizing decoding and scheduling, and provides a practical path toward scalable long-context agent training.

This work introduces SpecRoll, a speculative rollout engine that preserves the target model's sampling distribution while adapting at two timescales, and combines concurrency-aware sparse-tree verification and exact target verification, leaving the target rollout distribution and GRPO objective unchanged.

Online agentic reinforcement learning implemented with micro-services separates policy training from rollout generation, improving scalability and modularity while potentially making frequent policy-weight synchronization a critical systems overhead. Shared storage naturally connects these services across clusters, but vanilla dense policy weight synchronization could incur model-scale construction, transfer, and application costs. Sparse synchronization reduces transferred data, yet checkpoint-oriented approaches can still retain a previous model and materialize complete intermediates to bridge heterogeneous training and inference layouts. We present AReaL-DTE, a snapshot-free Delta Transfer Engine that translates inference-visible weight sparsity into end-to-end system efficiency. Across our evaluated workloads, fewer than 2% of BF16 weight elements change between consecutive policy versions. AReaL-DTE reconstructs overwritten weights on demand by inverting AdamW updates, streams reconstructed and current parameters through converter-aligned BF16 change detection, and remaps changed elements directly into receiver-local coordinates. AReaL-DTE supports manifest-committed sparse transfer through shared storage across clusters and a deadlock-safe two-round protocol within a cluster, followed by direct application to inference shards. We evaluate AReaL-DTE on Qwen3-8B and Qwen3-30B-A3B across four online RL workloads. AReaL-DTE achieves speedups of up to 19.9x over ByteCheckpoint and 3.2x over PULSE across clusters, and up to 7.6x and 7.4x, respectively, within a cluster. In the same-cluster Qwen3-30B-A3B experiments, it reduces peak GPU memory by approximately 41% and peak CPU memory by at least 87%.

HARTS is the first system to demonstrate arbitrary-rollout-tree prefix-sharing speedups on a real hybrid-attention model, and its numerical differences are comparable to baseline self-rerun variation, and its reward trend is similar to the baseline over the first 120 steps of SWE-bench training.
