Randopt

Randopt is a Python research codebase for post-training language models using the Neural Thickets research approach, with documented workflows for custom and standard datasets, local or multi-node jobs, and distilling top-k models into one model.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Randopt when you need research code and documented workflows for language-model post-training, distillation or baseline runs in a Python or Docker environment.

Who it is for

  • Researchers running language-model post-training experiments.
  • ML engineers adapting post-training workflows to custom datasets or existing verl and Hugging Face TRL setups.

Documented uses

  • Post-train a language model on a custom dataset.
  • Run standard-dataset training locally, on one node or across multiple nodes.
  • Distill top-k models into a single model.
  • Run baseline comparisons.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The README provides Python/Conda and Docker setup options.
  • The Docker run commands request GPU access; a volume mount is shown for making data available in the container.
  • Standard-dataset jobs use Slurm scripts for single- and multi-node runs, with a separate local script that does not use Slurm.
  • Custom data, distillation and baselines each have separate repository guides.
  • The iterative implementation is described as installable with pip and usable with existing verl or Hugging Face TRL setups; further version and configuration details are not specified.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install RandOpt dependencies with Python or Conda

Prepare a Python environment with the dependencies listed by RandOpt.

Before you start

  • A RandOpt checkout with its requirements.txt file.
  • Python and pip; Conda activation is optional.

Steps

  1. Optionally activate your Conda environment with conda activate your_env.

  2. From the RandOpt directory, install the listed dependencies with the command below.

    Documented command
    pip install -r requirements.txt

Expected outcome

The dependencies listed in `requirements.txt` are installed in the active Python environment.

Guide limitations

  • This prepares dependencies but does not run a post-training job.
  • The README does not specify Python or dependency versions.
