DORA system accelerates LLM reinforcement learning by 2-4x with novel asynchronous rollout

Researchers have developed DORA, a novel asynchronous reinforcement learning system designed to accelerate language model training. DORA addresses the bottleneck caused by long-tailed trajectories in the rollout phase by employing multi-version streaming rollout, which allows for concurrent policy versions. This system achieves up to 2-3 times higher throughput than existing methods on benchmarks and 2-4 times faster training in large-scale industrial settings. The resulting open-source models, LongCat-Flash-Thinking, demonstrate competitive performance on complex reasoning tasks. AI

IMPACT Accelerates RL training for LLMs, potentially enabling faster iteration and deployment of advanced models.

    DORA: A Scalable Asynchronous Reinforcement Learning System for Language Model Training

    arXiv:2604.26256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical paradigm for LLM post-training, yet the rollout phase -- accounting for 50--80% of total step time -- is bottlenecked by skewed generation: long-tailed trajectories indispensable for…
