Team open-sources ultra-fast weight updates for RL, even across datacenters

A team developed and open-sourced ultra-fast weight updates between trainers and samplers for RL, designed to work even when the two sides live in different datacenters.
When asked whether the sampler pause time stays under a second for far-apart datacenters, the authors explained that the pause only covers decompression and patching, handled by a native decompression ASIC and overlapped with local GPU work — so pause time doesn't depend on distance or bandwidth between sender and recipient.
