Spotlight: Synergizing Seed Exploration and Spot GPUs for DiT RL Post-Training (opens in new tab)

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training of Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) is prohibitively expensive, requiring thousands of high-end GPUs. Existing works explore two directions to reduce cost: seed exploration improves training convergence by selecting high-contrast samples, yet adds compute to the critical path; spot GPUs offer 69--77\% lower cost, yet sit idle during training because DiT rollouts finish nearly simultaneously, which prevents ...
