Skill instructions

slime: LLM Post-Training Framework for RL Scaling slime is an LLM post-training framework from Tsinghua's THUDM team, powering GLM-4.5, GLM-4.6, and GLM-4.7. It connects Megatron-LM for training with SGLang for high-throughput rollout generation. When to Use slime Choose slime when you need: - Megatron-LM native training with SGLang inference - Custom data generation workflows with flexible data buffers - Training GLM, Qwen3, DeepSeek V3, or Llama 3 models - Research-grade framework with production backing (Z.ai) Consider alternatives when: - You need enterprise-grade stability features → use miles - You want flexible backend swapping → use verl - You need PyTorch-native abstractions → use torchforge Key Features - Training: Megatron-LM with full parallelism support (TP, PP, DP, SP) - Rollout: SGLang-based high-throughput generation with router - Data Buffer: Flexible prompt management and sample storage - Models: GLM-4.x, Qwen3, DeepSeek V3/R1, Llama 3 Architecture Overview ┌─────────
