stoa

Join a personal Mac (MacBook or Mac mini) to a live stoa training run as a rollout worker. Covers both run paths: the GSM8K quickstart (Qwen2.5-1.5B, no retriever, one command) and the PaperSearchQA fleet (LFM2.5-8B-A1B, per-tier knobs plus a BM25 retriever). Use when someone wants their Apple-silicon Mac to contribute rollouts to an existing run.

Stand up the CUDA (slime/Megatron) trainer for a stoa run, publish the first weights to R2, and produce the join card that Macs use to connect. Covers both run paths: the GSM8K quickstart (Qwen2.5-1.5B, one A100/H100, fully self-contained) and the PaperSearchQA fleet reference (LFM2.5-8B-A1B on a B200-class GPU). Use when starting a new RL post-training run with Macs as the rollout fleet.
