About

Miles is a high-performance, enterprise-ready reinforcement learning framework for large-scale model post-training. It pairs SGLang for high-throughput rollout with Megatron-LM for scalable training, and ships the precision, stability, and observability features an RL run needs at trillion-parameter scale. FSDP2 and torchtitan backends are also supported. See Training Backends.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single rollout."

Performance

• Fully async RL. Rollout and training workers are decoupled, with configurable on- and off-policy schedules, a pipeline tuned for fewer bubbles, and customizable async rollout and eval modes. See Fully Async RL.
• Fast agentic rollout. Generation runs on SGLang behind a router that spreads requests across engines, preserves per-request metadata, and health-checks the fleet. Tuned for multi-turn agentic workloads.
• Fast weight updates. New weights reach the engines in-loop in seconds, even on a trillion-parameter model such as Kimi-K2.6, with P2P RDMA as the fast path for disaggregated setups.
• Low-precision training. MXFP8 and NVFP4 training with a numerically stable RL recipe that reduces precision-induced divergence. FP8, INT4 QAT, BF16, and FP16 are also supported.
• LoRA and multi-LoRA. Low-rank adapters train frontier-scale models on a fraction of the GPUs, and the same adapters load straight into SGLang for rollout.

Correctness and resilience

• Token-in-token-out (TITO). Supported for every model and every black-box harness, with no detokenize/retokenize round-trip between rollout and training.
• Rollout Routing Replay (R3). Expert routing recorded during rollout is replayed in the trainer's forward pass, removing the MoE routing mismatch that destabilizes large runs, with compute and communication overlapped to keep the cost down.
• Fault tolerance. When an SGLang engine dies, Miles recovers it and resumes the run in place: no restart, no pause.

What Miles runs

• Day-0 model support. DeepSeek-V4.1, DeepSeek-V4, Kimi-K3, Qwen3.8, GLM-5.3, GLM-5.2, MiMo-V2.6-Flash, Inkling, and Nemotron landed on release day. Beyond day 0, nearly every frontier model runs on Miles, including Kimi-K2.6 and Qwen3.5. See Models.
• Extensive hardware support. NVIDIA GB300, GB200, B300, B200, H200, H100, and A100, and AMD MI355X, MI350X, MI325X, and MI300X. See Installation for per-GPU status and AMD ROCm for the ROCm images.
• Wide recipe support. GRPO, GSPO, PPO, and REINFORCE++ for RL, plus score centering, SFT, and on-policy distillation.
• Ray or Kubernetes. The same launch script runs on Ray, or installs as a Helm release so Kubernetes schedules every worker of the run. See Ray and Kubernetes Backend.
• Agentic environments. Train coding and computer-use agents through connectors for Harbor, HUD, NeMo Gym, OpenEnv, Verifiers, and more, each plugging into the rollout layer that fits it, with task sandboxes on AgentENV, Daytona, E2B, or Modal. See Agentic Environments.
• Diffusion models. Flow-GRPO, DiffusionNFT and SFT on an sglang-diffusion rollout engine and an FSDP2 trainer, in Miles-diffusion.
