What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Mature, EuroSys-published, 22k-star Apache-2.0 framework with production references, credible throughput, and SOTA downstream results from independent labs; the de facto open RL post-training substrate. Guardrails needed only for version pinning and config fragility.
Next
Pin a known-good vLLM (>=0.8.2) + verl version, run a small GRPO smoke test on Qwen, then scale; reserve Megatron path for >70B.
