| Oct 01, 2026 | Score centering is merged in verl (#8010): an additive correction for training–inference mismatch that kept RL training stable with an fp8 sampler where plain policy gradient collapsed. |
| Sep 21, 2026 | A scheduler-level keep-mode pause for diffusion stages is merged in vllm-omni (#7685): a busy replica can now be made quiet for sleep or a weight sync without discarding finished work. |
| Sep 15, 2026 | Hybrid rollout switching is merged in verl-omni (#575): the v1 separate-async diffusion trainer now lends its co-located rollout GPUs to generation when the replay buffer runs short, raising Wan2.2 video training throughput by 22% at a fixed GPU budget. |
| Sep 08, 2026 | I became a committer of verl-omni. |
| Sep 07, 2026 | The multi-teacher on-policy distillation line is complete in verl-omni: teacher routing and standalone pools (#427), the v1 trainer port (#493), and async teacher scheduling (#495). |
| Sep 05, 2026 | The SANA-Video acceleration stack is merged in vllm-omni: TP + CFG parallelism (#5861), Cache-DiT + CPU offload (#5882), and sequence parallelism for linear attention (#5940). |
| Aug 10, 2026 | On-policy distillation for diffusion RL landed in verl-omni (#300, #325), the core of roadmap RFC #293. |
| Jun 17, 2026 | VAMP-MR, from my time at CMU’s ARCS Lab, is accepted at IROS 2026. |
