Modal put it clearly: frontier RL is no longer just about algorithms — it is an infrastructure problem.
Happy to see slime used in Modal’s RL stack, and even happier to see real upstream contributions coming back to the open-source ecosystem.
The RL infra stack is still early. Let’s build it together!
Modal (@modal): Reinforcement learning has exploded on Modal, and we’ve been cooking.
Here’s a review of lessons learned helping teams train at scale, the patterns we kept seeing, and an open-source library to get started with RL on Modal quickly.
