Miles v0.1 is presented, a full-stack, production-ready system for frontier post-training reinforcement-learning training, which supports LoRA RL, on-policy distillation, supervised fine-tuning, and true-on-policy rollout-training alignment, and extends the same architecture to diffusion models.
Abstract
We present Miles v0.1, a full-stack, production-ready system for frontier post-training. Building upon the clean design of slime, Miles designs each stage of the reinforcement-learning (RL) training loop around a single principle: components should be verified, clean, and customizable. With accuracy, efficiency, reliability, and scalability as first-class goals, Miles aims to make frontier-scale RL accessible to researchers and enterprises alike. This report walks through the system end to end: rollout engines built on SGLang, a trainer with a choice of two backends (NVIDIA Megatron-LM and PyTorch FSDP), and three weight-synchronization transports for different deployment topologies. Beyond full-parameter RL, Miles also supports LoRA RL, on-policy distillation, supervised fine-tuning, and true-on-policy rollout-training alignment, and extends the same architecture to diffusion models. We close with an end-to-end case study: fully asynchronous agentic RL on a GLM-5.2 744B-A40B model over terminal-use coding tasks, running on 64 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs with a median step time of 263 seconds over the first 30 measured steps. Miles is open-sourced at https://github.com/radixark/miles, with the project website at https://miles.radixark.com.

A simple modification to supervised fine-tuning, TailSFT, which filters out already fit sequences during training, thereby focusing learning on under-modeled regions, or the tail, of the data distribution, and introduces a lightweight diagnostic for identifying settings where TailSFT is most likely to help.

This work characterize OPD across nine student-teacher pairs spanning 2x to 53x parameter ratios and shows that OPD effectiveness depends on student-teacher compatibility rather than teacher scale alone, and suggests that each post-training stage should be chosen not only for the capability it adds, but for the learnin...

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training drives the frontier capabilities of large language models, with its wall-clock dominated by autoregressive rollout generation. Speculative decoding is an established remedy for this bottleneck, but existing draft heads must be pretrained or warmed up before RL, introducing subs...

The main findings are that diverse, high-quality SFT establishes a strong capability floor and difficulty filtering keeps RL prompts within a productive learning range, and reward reliability provides a practical principle for ordering stages.
