TechCrunch AI · 🔥 6 - CoreWeave launches Forge to speed continuous AI post-training
CoreWeave announced CoreWeave Forge, which connects model deployment, evaluation and improvement into one loop; its reinforcement-learning Rollouts capability, now in preview, supports repeated cycles of generating training responses and updating models, with weight synchronization that hot-starts from nearby peers instead of pulling weights from object storage each time. CoreWeave AI Object Storage now supports cross-region writes so post-training jobs can write results back for others to use. You.com joined CoreWeave's partner network to give agents a search layer, and the companies say that working with NVIDIA they used RL Rollouts to post-train Nemotron 3.5 Lightning in eight hours with You.com's web search tools. You.com chief product officer Saurabh Sharma said the ceiling is no longer model intelligence but models' ability to use tools, and claimed customers get higher accuracy and lower total cost of ownership — a vendor claim without published figures.
SiliconANGLE AI · 🔥 6 - Vast pitches tiered storage to ease AI agent memory pressure
In an interview with theCUBE at CoreWeave's Fully Connected 2026 event, Vast Data co-founder and CTO Alon Horev said agent memory differs from ordinary inference: it includes both in-session context and long-term memory that lets an agent review past interactions. Vast's approach tiers storage — GPU memory first, then CPU memory on the same machine, then persistent media holding petabytes of KV cache — with Nvidia's Dynamo software orchestrating the process. Horev said a 500,000-token session can occupy one-tenth to one-twentieth of a GPU's memory, and offloading such sessions to storage avoids repeat recalculation; enterprises also need to record and retain everything their agents do, data that can feed fine-tuning or purpose-built models.

The Information · 🔥 3 - NVIDIA's NeMo-DCR: bit-exact delta refit for trillion-parameter agentic RL
NVIDIA researchers posted NeMo-DCR (Delta-Compressed Refit), a method that synchronizes policy updates between training and rollout clusters by sending only weight changes while remaining bit-exact against a dense refit. The paper reports that about 1% of BF16 training weights change stored values per step, and that at 3% and 5% change rates refits of 30B–1T models run 12–40x faster than a transport-only full-checkpoint reference; a 1T relay-tree refit at 3% takes 150 seconds versus 87.5 minutes to move a full checkpoint between two AWS regions. The code is open-sourced in NVIDIA NeMo RL PR #2444.
Hugging Face · Papers · 🔥 3 - Reflection AI debuts Beam, a 501B open-weight model aimed at Chinese rivals
