NVIDIA releases Molt for agentic RL
NVIDIA shared Molt, a PyTorch-native framework for agentic reinforcement learning that aims to keep research code compact and traceable end to end.
- The project is described as about 9.2K lines of code and built to support 1T-class MoE models.
- It uses a fully asynchronous rollout design and integrates with vLLM.
- The paper argues that agentic RL frameworks often accumulate cost and complexity across estimators, rollout schemes, trainer backends, and glue code; Molt tries to reduce that by keeping the system small and clean.
- NVIDIA says that, under a matched asynchronous protocol, Molt is statistically comparable to a state-of-the-art Megatron-based stack.
- The code is open source and includes recipes and containers on GitHub.
