Checklist Before Starting

  • Search for similar PRs. Paste at least one query link here: ...
  • Format the PR title as [{modules}] {type}: {description} (This will be checked by the CI)
    • {modules} include fsdp, megatron, sglang, vllm, rollout, trainer, ci, training_utils, recipe, hardware, deployment, ray, worker, single_controller, misc, perf, model, algo, env, tool, ckpt, doc, data
    • If this PR involves multiple modules, separate them with , like [megatron, fsdp, doc]
    • {type} is in feat, fix, refactor, chore, test
    • If this PR breaks any API (CLI arguments, config, function signature, etc.), add [BREAKING] to the beginning of the title.
    • Example: [BREAKING][fsdp, megatron] feat: dynamic batching

Test

For changes that can not be tested by CI (e.g., algorithm implementation, new model support), validate by experiment(s) and show results like training curve plots, evaluation results, etc.

API and Usage Example

Demonstrate how the API changes if any, and provide usage example(s) if possible.

# Add code snippet or script demonstrating how to use this

Design & Code Changes

Demonstrate the high-level design if this PR is complex, and list the specific changes.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new test script for one-step off-policy training on NPU devices. The script focuses on the FSDP2 strategy. While the addition of NPU-specific testing is valuable, there are inconsistencies in the script's configuration and a lack of comprehensive testing for both FSDP2 and Megatron backends as implied by the script's comments.

trainer.device param will be automatically determined on Ascend NPU, maybe this param is not required?

Now ACTOR_STRATEGY is only used for some prints, can we set this param with $ACTOR_STRATEGY?
