Disaggregating the generation and training stages in RL is widely adopted to scale LLM post-training. There are two critical challenges here. First, the generation stage often becomes a bottleneck due to dynamic workload shifts and severe execution imbalances. Second, the decoupled stages result in diverse and dynamic network traffic patterns that strain the conventional static fabric. We build OrchestrRL to orchestrate dynamically both compute and network in disaggregated RL. OrchestrRL employs an adaptive compute scheduler that adjusts parallelism configuration to match changing workload characteristics within and across generation steps. OrchestrRL adopts a reconfigurable optical-electrical fabric called RFabric: It leverages optical circuit switches to reconfigure the aggregation and core layers of the topology on demand, tailoring bandwidth resources to the unique communication patterns across various phases of training, generation, and weight synchronization. Evaluated on a 64-H800 GPU testbed, OrchestrRL demonstrates up to a 1.42x throughput improvement over static baselines. Using a high-fidelity simulator, we also show that RFabric achieves superior performance-cost efficiency at scale over static Fat-Tree networks.

The ability to reason about spatial dynamics is a cornerstone of intelligence, yet current research overlooks the human intent behind spatial changes. To address these limitations, we introduce Teleo-Spatial Intelligence (TSI), a new paradigm that unifies two critical pillars: Physical-Dynamic Reasoning--understanding the physical principles of object interactions--and Intent-Driven Reasoning--inferring the human goals behind these actions. To catalyze research in TSI, we present EscherVerse, consisting of a large-scale, open-world benchmark (Escher-Bench), a dataset (Escher-35k), and models (Escher series). Derived from real-world videos, EscherVerse moves beyond constrained settings to explicitly evaluate an agent's ability to reason about object permanence, state transitions, and trajectory prediction in dynamic, human-centric scenarios. Crucially, it is the first benchmark to systematically assess Intent-Driven Reasoning, challenging models to connect physical events to their underlying human purposes. Our work, including a novel data curation pipeline, provides a foundational resource to advance spatial intelligence from passive scene description toward a holistic, purpose-driven understanding of the world.
