congrats to my colleague @nanjiangwill on getting this important technique merged into slime!
slime (@slime_framework): @FireworksAI_HQ + @cursor_ai highlighted why delta-compressed weight sync matters for RL at frontier scale.
slime brings this capability to OSS: lossless delta sync for Megatron ↔ SGLang disaggregation — ship deltas, not full checkpoints.
This is another step toward a fully
