Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them.

At a glance Harnessed Agentic RL: Microsoft Research Asia introduces a training paradigm in which the same agent harness used in deployment participates directly in reinforcement learning, removing the need to reimplement the agent inside the training framework. Lightweight by design: Agent Lightning v1.0 delivers a complete agent RL control plane in roughly 3,500 lines of code. Native Kubernetes support: agents run as standard Kubernetes jobs on self-managed clusters, cloud Kubernetes, or…

Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture
For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a…
