NeMo-DCR: Bit-Exact Delta-Compressed Refit for Scalable Agentic RL at Trillion-Parameter Scale
Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) disaggregates training from rollout, so each policy update must reach the rollout clusters before the next batch. Transferring a full 1T checkpoint for such weight synchronization (refit) takes 87.5 min between two AWS regions. Measurements of BF16 training show that about 1% of weig...
