    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a modular full-stack reinforcement learning library tailored for training and deploying long-horizon agents with large language models.
    • Enables efficient, scalable RL training and inference on local hardware with unified APIs and support for multi-turn, real-world tasks.
    • Use for developing and training RL agents that perform complex, multi-step tool use in real environments using LLMs.
    • Use for integrating and benchmarking custom RL environments via a Gymnasium-compatible interface focused on math, coding, search, and SQL tasks.
    • Use for building and optimizing agentic pipelines that require long-horizon planning and multi-turn interactions with external tools.

    From the README

    For a guide on developing with SkyRL, take at look at our Development Guide docs.

    For model training, checkout skyrl to start using, modifying, or building on top of the SkyRL training stack. See our quickstart docs to ramp up!

    For building environments, checkout skyrl-gym to integrate your task in the simple gymnasium interface.

    For agentic pipelines, check out skyrl-agent for our work on optimizing and scaling pipelines for multi-turn tool use LLMs on long-horizon, real-environment tasks.

    For a list of supported models, see our Supported Models docs.
