Our internal deep dives highlight the Marin team’s amzing progress. The broader community can also benefit from the insights and lessons we uncover. Blog posts are a great way to share that knowledge publicly and create lasting reference points for community discussion. They are also relatively quick to produce, since much of the content already exists in the slides prepared for the deep dives.

To help kick off this effort, I wrote a blog post based on my async RL deep dive. Thanks to Ahmed for suggesting the RL blog post idea. In addition to the post itself, I added a few improvements to make our blogs easier to discover, including surfacing recent posts on the home page and adding a blog link to the navigation bar.

Fix grammatical errors and typos in the intro paragraph (learns→learn,
missing "is", its/it's, notoriety, October 2025, etc.) and add a
collapsible dropdown summarizing prior JAX RL repos we evaluated and
why none fit our needs.

Remove AMA inline notes, fix typos, reframe speculative claims as
hypotheses, remove non-RL resource contention bullet, add stable run
evidence after vLLM fix, expand evaluation lessons with estimator
details, and differentiate lesson 3 from lesson 1.
