VeRL-Omni

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

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.

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 — e.g., Qwen-Image, Wan2.2.
2. Unified multimodal understanding + generation models — e.g., BAGEL, HunyuanImage-3.0.
3. Omni-modality models that jointly handle text, image, audio, and video — e.g., Qwen3-Omni.

What we focus on

• Specialized rollout via vLLM-Omni for high-throughput diffusion and multimodal generation.
• Flexible reward pipelines spanning rule-based rewards, model-based rewards, and multimodal reward computation.
• Modular training backends that plug into existing parallelism (FSDP, USP) and other optimizations rather than rebuilding the stack from scratch.
• End-to-end examples and benchmarks validating co-located sync and fully-async RL on the model families above.
• High training throughput — 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, FSDP training, and overlapped reward computation (asynchronous).
