AdaptiveLoad: Towards Efficient Video Diffusion Transformer Training

In video generation models, particularly world models, training large-scale video diffusion Transformers (such as DiT and MMDiT) poses significant computational challenges due to the extreme variance in sequence lengths within mixed-mode datasets. Existing bucket-based data loading strategies typically rely on "equal token length" constraints. This approach fails to account for the quadratic complexity of self-attention mechanisms, leading to severe load imbalance and underutilization of GPU resources. This paper proposes \textit{AdaptiveLoad}, an integrated optimization framework consisting of two core components: (1) A dual-constraint adaptive load balancing system, which eliminates long-sequence bottlenecks by simultaneously limiting memory consumption and computational load ($B \times S^p \le M_{\text{comp}}$); (2) A fused LayerNorm-Modulate CUDA kernel, which utilizes a D-tile coalesced reduction strategy to increase throughput and alleviate memory pressure. Experimental results on the Wan 2.1 world model demonstrate that our method reduces the computational imbalance rate from 39\% to 18.9\%, improves peak VRAM utilization efficiency by 22.7\%, and achieves an overall training throughput increase of 27.2\%.

D-VLA: A High-Concurrency Distributed Asynchronous Reinforcement Learning Framework for Vision-Language-Action Models

The rapid evolution of Embodied AI has enabled Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to excel in multimodal perception and task execution. However, applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to these massive models in large-scale distributed environments faces severe systemic bottlenecks, primarily due to the resource conflict between high-fidelity physical simulation and the intensive VRAM/bandwidth demands of deep learning. This conflict often leaves overall throughput constrained by execution-phase inefficiencies. To address these challenges, we propose D-VLA, a high-concurrency, low-latency distributed RL framework for large-scale embodied foundation models. D-VLA introduces "Plane Decoupling," physically isolating high-frequency training data from low-frequency weight control to eliminate interference between simulation and optimization. We further design a four-thread asynchronous "Swimlane" pipeline, enabling full parallel overlap of sampling, inference, gradient computation, and parameter distribution. Additionally, a dual-pool VRAM management model and topology-aware replication resolve memory fragmentation and optimize communication efficiency. Experiments on benchmarks like LIBERO show that D-VLA significantly outperforms mainstream RL frameworks in throughput and sampling efficiency for billion-parameter VLA models. In trillion-parameter scalability tests, our framework maintains exceptional stability and linear speedup, providing a robust system for high-performance general-purpose embodied agents.

Missing Old Logits in Asynchronous Agentic RL: Semantic Mismatch and Repair Methods for Off-Policy Correction

Asynchronous reinforcement learning improves rollout throughput for large language model agents by decoupling sample generation from policy optimization, but it also introduces a critical failure mode for PPO-style off-policy correction. In heterogeneous training systems, the total importance ratio should ideally be decomposed into two semantically distinct factors: a \emph{training--inference discrepancy term} that aligns inference-side and training-side distributions at the same behavior-policy version, and a \emph{policy-staleness term} that constrains the update from the historical policy to the current policy. We show that practical asynchronous pipelines with delayed updates and partial rollouts often lose the required historical training-side logits, or old logits. This missing-old-logit problem entangles discrepancy repair with staleness correction, breaks the intended semantics of decoupled correction, and makes clipping and masking thresholds interact undesirably. To address this issue, we study both exact and approximate correction routes. We propose three exact old-logit acquisition strategies: snapshot-based version tracking, a dedicated old-logit model, and synchronization via partial rollout interruption, and compare their system trade-offs. From the perspective of approximate correction, we focus on preserving the benefits of decoupled correction through a more appropriate approximate policy when exact old logits cannot be recovered at low cost, without incurring extra system overhead. Following this analysis, we adopt a revised PPO-EWMA method, which achieves significant gains in both training speed and optimization performance.

Sword: Style-Robust World Models as Simulators via Dynamic Latent Bootstrapping for VLA Policy Post-Training

The integration of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models with World Models has gained increasing attention. One representative approach treats learned World Models as generative simulators, enabling policy optimization entirely within "imagination." However, when deployed as simulators for specific environments such as the LIBERO benchmark, existing World Models often suffer from poor generalization and long-horizon error accumulation. During closed-loop rollouts, these models are highly sensitive to initial-state perturbations; minor changes in color, illumination, and other visual factors can trigger cascading hallucinations, leading to severe blurriness or overexposure. Moreover, long-horizon error accumulation further degrades the quality and fidelity of predicted future states. These issues limit the reliability of World Models as simulators. To mitigate these problems, we propose Sword, a robust World Model framework. Our method introduces Structure-Guided Style Augmentation to disentangle the visual textures of interactive environments from task-relevant dynamics, thereby improving generalization. We further propose Dynamic Latent Bootstrapping, which maintains consistency between training and inference while keeping memory consumption low. Extensive experiments on the LIBERO benchmark show that our method significantly outperforms the baseline WoVR in terms of generalization, generation quality, robustness, fidelity, and the success rate of reinforcement-learning post-training for VLA models.
