AI Research Skills Library is a collection of reusable instructions that guide AI agents through research and machine-learning engineering tasks, from finding ideas and writing papers to training, evaluation, and deployment. It is for configuring agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini to perform research workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.02424 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01212 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00485 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00242 |
Grade A, and why
miles-rl-training scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to miles-rl-training — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

miles: Enterprise-Grade RL for Large-Scale Model Training
miles is a high-performance, enterprise-ready RL framework optimized for large-scale model post-training. Built as a production fork of slime, it addresses critical challenges in MoE training stability, low-precision training, and train-inference alignment.
When to Use miles
Choose miles when you need:
- Training 1TB+ MoE models (DeepSeek V3, Qwen3-MoE)
- FP8 or INT4 quantization-aware training
- Bit-wise identical train-inference alignment
- Speculative RL for maximum throughput
- Production stability with enterprise support
Consider alternatives when:
- You want the research-grade original → use slime
- You need flexible backend swapping → use verl
- You want PyTorch-native abstractions → use torchforge
Key Features
Low-Precision Training
- Unified FP8: End-to-end FP8 for both inference and training
- INT4 QAT: 1TB models on single-machine VRAM (H200)
- Rollout Routing Replay (R3): Bit-wise expert alignment for MoE
Performance Optimizations
- Speculative RL: 25%+ rollout speedup with online SFT draft models
- Zero-Copy Weight Sync: CUDA IPC zero-copy mapping
- Partial Rollout: Recycle half-finished trajectories
Train-Inference Alignment
- TIS/MIS: Truncated/Masked Importance Sampling for off-policy correction
- Kernel-level optimization: FlashAttention-3, DeepGEMM integration
Installation
# Recommended: Docker
docker pull radixark/miles:latest
docker run --rm --gpus all --ipc=host --shm-size=16g \
-it radixark/miles:latest /bin/bash
# From source
git clone https://github.com/radixark/miles.git
cd miles
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
Quick Start
miles inherits slime's configuration system. Basic training:
python train.py \
--advantage-estimator grpo \
--model-name qwen3-30b-a3b \
--hf-checkpoint /path/to/qwen3-30b-a3b-hf \
--rollout-batch-size 512 \
--n-samples-per-prompt 8
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

miles-rl-training is a skill published in the GitHub repository Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs (12,567 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 2,424 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to miles-rl-training, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
