Training methods
Methods Daytona uses, offers or builds for, with public evidence: its own website says so, or two independent sites do.
- RLVR Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards On its own website
“This guide presents a simple, self-contained script that performs reinforcement learning training of Qwen3-1.7B-Base . In particular, we use reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards , with the reward being computed from the test pass rate of model-written functions.”
daytona.io - GRPO Group Relative Policy Optimization On its own website
“…pt per step) 2. Evaluate : Each completion runs in its own Daytona sandbox against a test suite 3. Reward : Completions that pass more tests get higher rewards; errors or banned patterns get negative rewards 4. Update : GRPO reinforces completions that scored above their group average”
daytona.io“- run.py — A single-episode demo that creates one sandbox, runs one complete interaction, and tears down. Useful for understanding the environment and verifying your setup. - train.py — A full GRPO training loop that creates 500 sandboxes, collects multi-turn rollouts in parallel with batched vLLM generation, runs policy gradient updates with LoRA, and hot-swaps adapters into vLLM between iterations.”
