AReaL v1.0.5: Colocated Training/Inference & Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation for Efficient RL

AReaL-Ascend v1.0.5 introduces two major innovations: colocated training and inference on shared NPUs via Ray scheduling and AWEX IPC zero-copy, and Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD) that fuses domain expert models into a single student using token-level teacher signals, demonstrated on Qwen3.6-27B with GRPO.
