<h1 style="text-align: center;">verl: Volcano Engine Reinforcement Learning for LLMs</h1>

verl is a flexible, efficient and production-ready RL training library for large language models (LLMs).

verl is the open-source version of **[HybridFlow: A Flexible and Efficient RLHF Framework](https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.19256v2)** paper.

verl is flexible and easy to use with:

- **Easy extension of diverse RL algorithms**: The hybrid-controller programming model enables flexible representation and efficient execution of complex post-training dataflows. Build RL dataflows such as GRPO, PPO in a few lines of code.

- **Seamless integration of existing LLM infra with modular APIs**: Decouples computation and data dependencies, enabling seamless integration with existing LLM frameworks, such as FSDP, Megatron-LM, vLLM, SGLang, etc

- **Flexible device mapping**: Supports various placement of models onto different sets of GPUs for efficient resource utilization and scalability across different cluster sizes.

- Ready integration with popular HuggingFace models

verl is fast with:

- **State-of-the-art throughput**: SOTA LLM training and inference engine integrations and SOTA RL throughput.

- **Efficient actor model resharding with 3D-HybridEngine**: Eliminates memory redundancy and significantly reduces communication overhead during transitions between training and generation phases.

## Performance Tuning Guide

The performance is essential for on-policy RL algorithm. We have written a detailed [performance tuning guide](https://verl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/perf/perf_tuning.html) to help you optimize performance.

## Upgrade to vLLM >= v0.8.2

verl now supports vLLM>=0.8.2 when using FSDP as the training backend. Please refer to [this document](https://github.com/volcengine/verl/blob/main/docs/README_vllm0.8.md) for the installation guide and more information. Please avoid vllm 0.7.x, which contains bugs that may lead to OOMs and unexpected errors.

## Use Latest SGLang

SGLang is fully supported with verl, and SGLang RL Group is working extensively on building unique features, including multi-turn agentic RL, VLM RLHF, server-based RL, and partial rollout. Please refer to [this document](https://verl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/workers/sglang_worker.html) for the installation guide and more information.

## Upgrade to FSDP2

verl is fully embracing FSDP2! FSDP2 is recommended by torch distributed team, providing better throughput and memory usage, and is composible with other features (e.g. torch.compile). To enable FSDP2, simply use verl main and set the following options:
```
actor_rollout_ref.ref.strategy=fsdp2
actor_rollout_ref.actor.strategy=fsdp2
critic.strategy=fsdp2 
reward_model.strategy=fsdp2 
```
Furthermore, FSDP2 cpu offloading is compatible with gradient accumulation. You can turn it on to save memory with `actor_rollout_ref.actor.fsdp_config.offload_policy=True`. For more details, see https://github.com/volcengine/verl/pull/1026

## AMD Support (ROCm Kernel)

verl now supports FSDP as the training engine (Megatron support coming soon) and both integrates with vLLM and SGLang as inference engines. Please refer to [this document](https://github.com/volcengine/verl/blob/main/docs/amd_tutorial/amd_build_dockerfile_page.rst) for the installation guide and more information, and [this document](https://github.com/volcengine/verl/blob/main/docs/amd_tutorial/amd_vllm_page.rst) for the vLLM performance tuning for ROCm.
