Overview#

NeMo RL is an open-source post-training library within the NeMo Framework, designed to streamline and scale reinforcement learning methods for multimodal models (LLMs, VLMs, etc.). Designed for flexibility, reproducibility, and scale, NeMo RL enables both small-scale experiments and massive multi-GPU, multi-node deployments for fast experimentation in research and production environments.

What You Can Expect#

  • Flexibility with a modular design that allows easy integration and customization.

  • Efficient resource management using Ray, enabling scalable and flexible deployment across different hardware configurations.

  • Hackable with native PyTorch-only paths for quick research prototypes.

  • High performance with Megatron Core, supporting various parallelism techniques for large models and large context lengths.

  • Seamless integration with Hugging Face for ease of use, allowing users to leverage a wide range of pre-trained models and tools.

  • Comprehensive documentation that is both detailed and user-friendly, with practical examples.

For more details on the architecture and design philosophy, see the design documents.
