GitHub Python Apache-2.0

Description

OpenClaw-RL: Train any agent simply by talking.

Key Features

  • Fully asynchronous 4-component RL architecture decoupling agent serving, rollout collection, evaluation, and policy training
  • Self-hosted and private by design — entire stack runs on your infrastructure with no third-party API dependency
  • Automatic training from natural conversation feedback with zero manual labeling or dataset curation
  • Three optimization methods: Binary RL (GRPO), On-Policy Distillation (OPD), and Hybrid combining both approaches
  • Supports both personalized agent optimization and scalable RL for terminal, GUI, SWE, and tool-call agents
  • Cloud and local GPU deployment via Tinker integration with one-line launch and LoRA training support

Use Cases

💡 Training personalized AI agents by simply talking to them — collecting conversation feedback as natural training signals
💡 Optimizing terminal, GUI, and coding agents in real-world environments with scalable environment parallelization
💡 Improving agent performance on specific tasks through continuous reinforcement learning during production use
💡 Building self-improving AI systems that learn from user interactions without explicit reward engineering
💡 Research on hybrid RL methods combining scalar rewards with token-level directional signals for robust optimization

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • High community interest (5.6k stars)
  • Permissive open-source license (Apache-2.0)

Quick Start

Install the OpenClaw-RL extension for your OpenClaw instance, configure your local GPU or Tinker cloud endpoint, and launch with a single command. The framework starts collecting conversation data and optimizing your agent model in the background while you continue using it.
