Practical overview
When it fits
Use Libra when an agentic post-training workload needs disaggregated asynchronous execution and resource-aware coordination across training and rollout capacity.
Who it is for
- AI infrastructure teams running agentic reinforcement-learning post-training
- Researchers working with distributed GPU or NPU clusters
- Engineers integrating vLLM rollout workers with FSDP or Megatron-based training
Documented uses
- Coordinate training, rollout and elastic hybrid resource pools
- Route agent requests across heterogeneous vLLM workers
- Replan resource allocation as queue pressure and runtime workload change
- Run asynchronous GRPO post-training workflows
- Track planner decisions, throughput, rewards and reconfiguration events
Requirements & limits
Libra is publicly available as an open-source repository under the MIT license. It is a self-hosted Linux/server framework; no hosted access, pricing or account terms are specified here.
- Whether the workload uses agentic RL post-training rather than general-purpose inference
- Need for separate training, rollout and elastic hybrid pools
- Compatibility with vLLM rollout workers and FSDP or Megatron training adapters
- Availability of GPU or NPU cluster resources and operators able to configure distributed training
- Value of adaptive replanning, heterogeneous tensor-parallel rollout buckets and runtime observability
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare Libra for a self-hosted agentic RL setup
Set up the repository components and configuration needed to begin configuring agentic RL post-training.
Before you start
- Linux or another documented server environment
- Python-based Libra repository checkout
- GPU or NPU cluster resources
- vLLM, FSDP or Megatron-compatible training components as applicable
- Model, hardware and experiment configuration
Steps
Review the repository layout and select the relevant training, engine, workflow, environment and configuration components.
Prepare hardware, model and experiment configuration using the repository configuration files.
Select a documented training entry point or launcher under the examples and scripts directories.
Configure the intended agentic workflow, tools, prompts, graders and rewards from the environment and workflow components.
Expected outcome
A configured Libra project structure ready for the next documented training or rollout stage.
Guide limitations
- These sources document the setup components and entry-point locations but do not provide enough detail here to specify commands, exact configuration values or a completed run.
Compare options for Agent orchestration
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
| Project | Documented purpose | Platform | Access and requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Libra | Coordinate training, rollout and elastic hybrid resource pools | Linux, Self-hosted, Server | Libra is publicly available as an open-source repository under the MIT license. It is a self-hosted Linux/server framework; no hosted access, pricing or account terms are specified here. |
| Agentfm Core | Run a containerized agent in a Podman sandbox on a worker machine | Desktop, Docker, Self-hosted | The README lists desktop installers for macOS and Linux; it says the Windows app is in progress. Its desktop quick start says the bundled node connects to the public mesh. The README notes that the v1 installers are unsigned and macOS may block the first launch. |
| Plano | Route incoming requests to agents based on their declared roles. | Self-hosted, Server | Plano is public source code under the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes hosted Plano models free of charge in the US-central region for a first-run developer experience; for production scale it points to running models locally or contacting the project for API keys. |
