Hugging Face livestream tomorrow: scaling RL and evals to train frontier agents
ben_burtenshaw · x · 2026-10-21
Hugging Face is hosting a livestream on training agents, with practitioners from Microsoft, Mercor, Reflection, RadixArk, and Benchflow discussing how they scale RL and evals for frontier agents. The focus goes beyond single-turn RL to multi-step, environment-driven training: reward design, rollouts, benchmarks, and the practical gap between training gains and real-world agent behavior. Format is short 10-minute talks with Q&A plus a closing panel on what works in RL for agents, the bottlenecks, and what the open-source ecosystem needs next.
