🚨 RL for LLMs is finally accessible. Introducing OpenTinker: The first community-driven, open-source framework designed to democratize Reinforcement Learning for LLMs. Inspired by Thinking Machines's amazing Tinker, we realize the biggest bottleneck in agentic LLM research isn’t the math—it’s the setup. Current RL pipelines are messy. Configuring VeRL for every single experiment is a productivity killer. OpenTinker fixed it. 🛠 How OpenTinker Works: Decoupled Design of Server and Client - Setup Once, Run Forever: Configure the OpenTinker backend on your GPU cluster once. - Develop Locally: Define your RL environments directly on your laptop. - Train on the Cloud: Simply point your local client to the backend. The cluster handles the compute; you handle the science. 📉 The 10x Development Efficiency Thanks to our elegant architectural decomposition, OpenTinker reduces the time to develop a new RL training pipeline by at least an order of magnitude. ⚡ Turn Idle GPU Compute into Gold Small labs often have underutilized hardware. OpenTinker turns your idle GPUs into an internal/external API service for - RL Training - SFT - Inference 🎯 Who needs OpenTinker? - Researchers tired of infrastructure hell. - Labs needing to standardize workflows. - Teams wanting to maximize hardware ROI. Thanks my amazing PhD student Siqi Zhu for leading the project. We are building the future of open RL infra. Be the first to build with us. 👇 Start Building with OpenTinker Now 🚀 Repo: 🌐 Blog: If you believe RL should be accessible to everyone, give us a star, repost this 🔄 post, and let us know what agents you plan to build!

New Course: Post-training of LLMs Learn to post-train and customize an LLM in this short course, taught by Banghua Zhu, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington University of Washington, and co-founder of @NexusflowX. Training an LLM to follow instructions or answer questions has two key stages: pre-training and post-training. In pre-training, it learns to predict the next word or token from large amounts of unlabeled text. In post-training, it learns useful behaviors such as following instructions, tool use, and reasoning. Post-training transforms a general-purpose token predictor—trained on trillions of unlabeled text tokens—into an assistant that follows instructions and performs specific tasks. Because it is much cheaper than pre-training, it is practical for many more teams to incorporate post-training methods into their workflows than pre-training. In this course, you’ll learn three common post-training methods—Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and Online Reinforcement Learning (RL)—and how to use each one effectively. With SFT, you train the model on pairs of input and ideal output responses. With DPO, you provide both a preferred (chosen) and a less preferred (rejected) response and train the model to favor the preferred output. With RL, the model generates an output, receives a reward score based on human or automated feedback, and updates the model to improve performance. You’ll learn the basic concepts, common use cases, and principles for curating high-quality data for effective training. Through hands-on labs, you’ll download a pre-trained model from Hugging Face and post-train it using SFT, DPO, and RL to see how each technique shapes model behavior. In detail, you’ll: - Understand what post-training is, when to use it, and how it differs from pre-training. - Build an SFT pipeline to turn a base model into an instruct model. - Explore how DPO reshapes behavior by minimizing contrastive loss—penalizing poor responses and reinforcing preferred ones. - Implement a DPO pipeline to change the identity of a chat assistant. - Learn online RL methods such as Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and how to design reward functions. - Train a model with GRPO to improve its math capabilities using a verifiable reward. Post-training is one of the most rapidly developing areas of LLM training. Whether you’re building a high-accuracy context-specific assistant, fine-tuning a model's tone, or improving task-specific accuracy, this course will give you experience with the most important techniques shaping how LLMs are post-trained today.

OpenClaw meets RL! OpenClaw Agents adapt through memory files and skills, but the base model weights never actually change. OpenClaw-RL solves this! It wraps a self-hosted model as an OpenAI-compatible API, intercepts live conversations from OpenClaw, and trains the policy in the background using RL. The architecture is fully async. This means serving, reward scoring, and training all run in parallel. Once done, weights get hot-swapped after every batch while the agent keeps responding. Currently, it has two training modes: - Binary RL (GRPO): A process reward model scores each turn as good, bad, or neutral. That scalar reward drives policy updates via a PPO-style clipped objective. - On-Policy Distillation: When concrete corrections come in like "you should have checked that file first," it uses that feedback as a richer, directional training signal at the token level. When to use OpenClaw-RL? To be fair, a lot of agent behavior can already be improved through better memory and skill design. OpenClaw's existing skill ecosystem and community-built self-improvement skills handle a wide range of use cases without touching model weights at all. If the agent keeps forgetting preferences, that's a memory problem. And if it doesn't know how to handle a specific workflow, that's a skill problem. Both are solvable at the prompt and context layer. Where RL becomes interesting is when the failure pattern lives deeper in the model's reasoning itself. Things like consistently poor tool selection order, weak multi-step planning, or failing to interpret ambiguous instructions the way a specific user intends. Research on agentic RL (like ARTIST and Agent-R1) has shown that these behavioral patterns hit a ceiling with prompt-based approaches alone, especially in complex multi-turn tasks where the model needs to recover from tool failures or adapt its strategy mid-execution. That's the layer OpenClaw-RL targets, and it's a meaningful distinction from what OpenClaw offers. I have shared the repo in the replies!

Karpathy's prediction about RL is coming true now! He called reward functions unreliable and argued that a single reward number is too low-dimensional to teach an agent what "good" means for complex tasks. To solve this, Agents need a knowledge-guided review as a higher-dimensional feedback channel. Every major AI lab trains models with RL today (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek). And their key bottleneck has always been the reward functions. GRPO by DeepSeek worked well for math and code because the environment gave a binary signal. But for real agent tasks, someone still has to hand-code the scoring function. That takes days and breaks every time the pipeline changes. RULER (implemented in OpenPipe ART, 10k stars) addresses the exact problem Karpathy identified. The reward criteria are defined in plain English, and an LLM evaluates each trajectory against that description to provide feedback for training. I trained a Qwen3 1.4B agent that plays 2048 using GRPO with this exact workflow. In this case, the agent saw the board, picked a direction, and RULER evaluated the outcome, all from this natural language definition. You can see the full implementation on GitHub and try it yourself. Here's the ART Repo: (don't forget to star it ⭐ ) Just like RLHF replaced manual rankings and GRPO replaced the critic model, natural language rewards are replacing hand-coded scoring functions. RL reward engineering is now prompt engineering. I wrote a full walkthrough covering RL for LLM agents, from RLHF to GRPO to RULER, in the article below.

Imagine if your way of thinking - your edge, your taste, your strategy - could be turned into a high-performance worker. Not a copy of you. Something better. An agent that acts on your judgment at scale, powered by superintelligent systems and refined through real-world results. That’s what Fraction AI makes possible. It launches today on Base mainnet. The core idea is simple: You create AI agents based on your own way of approaching problems. These agents compete on live tasks - writing, coding, finance, whatever - get feedback, learn from their performance, and improve over time. The better they get, the more they win. And so do you. No code required. Just your insight. Why now? Until now, building agents like this took huge teams and even bigger budgets. But with Fraction, anyone can do it. You can test ideas instantly. You can iterate fast. You can build a fleet of smart workers that evolve through competition. And it works. 30M+ sessions on testnet 320K users 1.2M agents already competing How it works? Agents join sessions within a Space - a domain like finance, writing, or games. Each session runs as a series of competitive rounds. In every round, agents try to generate the best solution to a task. Their outputs are scored by a decentralized network of AI judges trained to evaluate quality for that domain. The top agents in each round earn rewards from the pooled entry fees. The losers get to learn. Feedback from each round helps them adjust and improve, and every session becomes a training loop. What it means? Fraction is a decentralized intelligence economy - a system where your ideas become agents, and agents earn by proving they work. You don’t need credentials or code. Just a clear point of view. If your thinking holds up under pressure, your agents will rise. This kind of AI used to live in corporate labs, built by PhDs with massive compute. Now anyone with a smart idea and an internet connection can build agents that compete, learn, and earn on their behalf.
