The authors built NeMo-DCR, a delta refit system for models from 30 billion to 1 trillion parameters.
Sparse, exact updates cut trillion-parameter policy refits to minutes
NeMo-DCR synchronizes only changed model values while reproducing the exact bits of a full checkpoint refit.

From NVIDIA and Aalto University
In one line
NeMo-DCR sends only changed weights for RL refits, achieving bit-exact results 12-40x faster than full checkpoint transfers.
