After many months of intense work the
Snowflake AI Research team is happy to present to you the new open source project: Arctic RL
https://snowflake.com/en/blog/engineering/arctic-rl-open-source-backend/
- Arctic RL integrates with VeRL and SkyRL today; enable ZoRRo with one config flag, no code changes required
- ZoRRo delivers up to 6x actor-update acceleration and a 3.5x end-to-end training speedup, reducing Arctic-Text2SQL-R2 training from ~5 days to ~36 hours on 32 H200 GPUs
- Arctic-Text2SQL-R2 achieved higher accuracy scores (48.7) than Gemini 3.1 Pro (47.9) and Claude 4.7 (47.3) on Snowflake's evaluated enterprise SQL benchmark under the tested conditions
- Two open source recipes ship with this release: a text-to-SQL recipe that improved BIRD dev accuracy from 59.92% to 70.35%, and a multi-hop QA recipe that improved average accuracy from 69.6% to 72.3% updated a model 1 day ago
