VeRL-Omni

Easy, fast, and stable RL training for diffusion and omni-modality models

Ask DeepWiki.com Docs License

VeRL-Omni is a general RL training framework focused on multimodal generative models, built on top of verl.

It originated from the multi-modal generation RL effort in verl, and now has a dedicated home so it can evolve in a more focused way.

News ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  • [2026-08] MiniMax-H3 text-to-audio-video is now supported with DiffusionNFT. See the T2VA LoRA example.
  • [2026-08] We have released v0.2.0 for faster diffusion rl and more stable Qwen3-Omni multimodal training.
  • [2026-08] LTX2.3 text-to-video+audio model is now supported with FlowGRPO.
  • [2026-07] Team-proposed algorithm FlowGRPO with DiNa-LRM is available. Training skips VAE decoding by scoring clean diffusion latents directly for faster and more resource-efficient model alignment.
  • [2026-07] VeRL-Omni is presented in QingKe AI, vLLM community, and verl x Ascend Beijing meetup. Slides are shared.
  • [2026-06] Qwen3-Omni GSPO Trainer is available! Flow-DPPO is integrated. vLLM-Omni rollout backend is upgraded to v0.22 for higher throughput, with default actor attn backend switched to FA3.
  • [2026-06] DiffusionNFT and Diffusion DPO are integrated with verified recipes on Qwen-Image/SD3.5. Wan2.2 is now supported for video generation tasks.

Why VeRL-Omni

Multimodal generative RL training differs from text-only LLM RL not only in model structure, but also in I/O patterns, compute characteristics, and runtime bottlenecks. As this space grows, it deserves a dedicated training repository that can evolve quickly around its own constraints.

Scope

VeRL-Omni targets RL post-training for three families of generative models:

  1. Diffusion generative models for image, video, and audio โ€” e.g., Qwen-Image, Wan2.2.
  2. Unified multimodal understanding + generation models โ€” e.g., BAGEL, HunyuanImage-3.0.
  3. Omni-modality models that jointly handle text, image, audio, and video โ€” e.g., Qwen3-Omni.

What we focus on

  • Fast multi-modal rollout: Adopt vLLM-Omni backend and accelerate generation via rollout routing, rollout batching, embed caching optimizations, and more.
  • Flexible & async multi-reward serving: Support multi-reward serving (HPSv3, GenRM-OCR, UnifiedReward, etc.), HTTP scorer, and asynchronous reward computation to overlap the rollout phase.
  • Modular training backends: Selectable VeOmni and FSDP2 backends with combinable parallelism (USP/TP/DP) for distributed training.
  • Stability: Boost stability and speed in diffusion RL pipelines via rollout correction to skip logP recomputation, and achieve reproducible E2E training with deterministic RL. Reward, rollout and actor update are composable and extensible, via Hydra configs.
  • Efficient and convergent training recipes: On our reference Qwen-Image FlowGRPO setup, VeRL-Omni achieves ~25% higher end-to-end throughput than the diffusers-based flow_grpo implementation, driven by vLLM-Omni rollout, FSDP2 trainer, overlapped reward computation (asynchronous), etc.
