Think Swift, Build More: Empowering Agents with RL Toolkits and Infrastructure
[In-person event in San Francisco] [50 spots only]
This event is cohosted by verl, SGLang, Zilliz and Creao AI and organized by Monolith. Together, we’ll explore the latest advances in RL, RL infrastructure, Reasoning, and Agentic AI.
We’ll open with several presentations and dig into:
verl – Reinforcement Learning framework designed for efficient and flexible training of large-scale models
Optimizing End2End Multi-turn RL with SGLang rollout
Tool uses a feature on SGLang with various tool parsers
SpecForge: A unified training framework for speculative decoding across LLMs, VLMs, and LoRAs
Zilliz – Unlocking billion-scale AI search with Milvus for massive unstructured data
Creao AI – Building tools and infrastructure for code agent
After the presentations, stick around for drinks, snacks, and deep-cut conversations with other engineers and researchers shaping the future of intelligent systems.
Discuss real cases with core committers and developers from verl, SGLang, Zilliz and Creao AI
Join researchers and engineers from OpenAI, Anthropic, MSL, and xAI for an afternoon exploring the frontier of reinforcement learning, reasoning systems, and agent infrastructure
