Practical overview
When it fits
Use VeRL-Omni when building an RL post-training workflow for a multimodal generative model and the repository’s model and algorithm examples fit the experiment.
Who it is for
- Researchers developing reinforcement-learning methods for generative models.
- ML engineering teams planning multimodal model post-training workflows.
Documented uses
- Train diffusion generators with reinforcement-learning methods.
- Set up image, video, or video-and-audio generation experiments using model and algorithm combinations listed by the project.
- Choose among documented rollout and training backend options for a multimodal training pipeline.
Requirements & limits
The public repository identifies an Apache-2.0 license and provides installation and quickstart documentation.
- Check the model-and-algorithm support table for a match with the intended generator and training method.
- The project is built on verl and describes vLLM-Omni rollout, selectable VeOmni or FSDP2 backends, and USP, TP, and DP parallelism.
- The documentation provides installation and quickstart entry points, but the repository does not specify a universal deployment mode.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install VeRL-Omni on a CUDA 13 NVIDIA environment
Clone VeRL-Omni and install its GPU training and rollout dependencies in a Python virtual environment.
Before you start
- Python 3.11 or newer
- CUDA 13.0 or newer and an NVIDIA driver 580 or newer; datacenter GPUs with drivers 535 or newer may use the documented CUDA forward-compatibility fallback
- The
uvpackage manager
Steps
Clone the repository and change into its directory: the command below and
cd verl-omni.git clone https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni.gitCreate and activate a Python 3.12 virtual environment: the command below and
source .venv/bin/activate.uv venv --python 3.12 --seedInstall vLLM: the command below.
uv pip install vllm==0.30.0 --torch-backend=autoInstall VeRL-Omni's GPU extra: the command below.
uv pip install -e ".[gpu]" --torch-backend=autoRun the documented import/version checks for torch, vLLM, vLLM-Omni, verl, and verl_omni to check the installation.
Expected outcome
The repository and GPU dependencies are installed, and the documented checks can confirm that the principal packages import.
Guide limitations
- This recipe is for the documented NVIDIA CUDA environment, not the separate AMD GPU or Ascend NPU installation paths.
- Use
uv, notpip; the documentation warns that pip may fail to resolve this repository's dependency pins. - The checks verify package imports and versions; they do not establish that a model-training run succeeds.
