SummaryTRL's AsyncGRPOTrainer now supports LoRA training, shipped in v1.14 via PR #7017. The setup runs training and inference on separate machines, syncing only the multi-megabyte LoRA adapter to vLLM workers rather than the full ~3GB policy, cutting communication overhead for async GRPO RL training.
Why it mattersConcrete architecture from the HF team, with PR reference and bandwidth numbers, for separating RL training and inference across machines via adapter-only sync.
