    Heaps do lie: investigating a memory leak in vLLM

    The Mistral AI team investigated a memory leak in vLLM. In a Mistral Medium 3.1 deployment with graph compilation and disaggregated prefill/decode, system memory grew linearly by 400 MB per minute until the process ran out of memory hours later. Heaptrack showed stable heap usage, indicating the leak was outside the heap. The team traced it to KV-cache transfers through NIXL and UCX.

    Reinforcement learning without TD: scaling off-policy RL with divide and conquer

    Berkeley AI Research has proposed a divide-and-conquer off-policy reinforcement-learning algorithm that does not rely on temporal-difference (TD) learning. It reduces the number of Bellman-recursion steps from linear to logarithmic, enabling scaling to long-horizon tasks. The method achieves scaling for the first time in goal-conditioned RL, using the triangle inequality for shortest-path distances between states to construct transitive Bellman updates. Selecting the optimal subgoal w remains an open problem.
