Training Gym

Modal Training Gym is an open-source Python SDK for RL post-training on Modal.

The library takes care of infrastructure concerns such as cluster topology, Ray/NCCL bring-up, volume mounts, checkpointing, and serving for eval and rollouts, so you (or your agent!) can focus on training models.

To get started, you can go through the Quickstart section below, or paste the prompt below into your favorite agent:

Install the `training-gym` library. Then, install the skill bundle into the local project with `training-gym skills install`. Finally, tell the user that they can ask you to do something like: "Given a budget of 1 B300, train Qwen3.8 27B to correctly solve problems taken from agentica-org/DeepCoder-Preview-Dataset with xhigh reasoning and a length penalty to limit the number of reasoning tokens."

Requirements:

  • Python 3.12

Install the package directly:

uv pip install -q git+https://github.com/modal-projects/training-gym.git@main

Or pin it in pyproject.toml:

training-gym = { git = "https://github.com/modal-projects/training-gym.git", branch = "main" }

Authenticate with Modal:

modal setup

Set up the dashboard:

training-gym setup
Training runs list in the Training Gym dashboard Long-running training run details in the Training Gym dashboard

And empower your agents with the Gym’s skill bundle:

training-gym skills install

Then, it’s as easy as:

from modal_training_gym import (
HuggingFaceDataset,
Qwen3_4B,
Qwen3_4B_Recipe,
TrainConfig,
)
config = TrainConfig(
model=Qwen3_4B(),
