Claw-R1: Step-Level Data Middleware for Agentic RL

Interactive data middleware system that connects heterogeneous agent runtimes with RL training backends, treating agent interaction traces as managed data assets.

Architecture

Gateway Server

class AgentGatewayServer:
    def __init__(self, unified_api_entry):
        self.api_entry = unified_api_entry
        self.step_capture = StepCaptureEngine()
    
    def capture_step(self, request):
        # Intercept agent-environment interactions
        prompt_id = request['prompt_id']
        response_id = generate_response_id()
        
        # Capture multi-turn step
        step_record = {
            'prompt_id': prompt_id,
            'response_id': response_id,
            'action': request['action'],
            'state': request['state'],
            'timestamp': time.now()
        }
        return step_record

Data Pool Organization

class AgentDataPool:
    def __init__(self, storage_backend):
        self.pool = storage_backend
    
    def organize_step_record(self, step):
        # Create step-level record
        record = StepLevelRecord(
            prompt_id=step['prompt_id'],
            response_id=step['response_id'],
            reward=step['reward'],
            metadata=step['metadata'],
            readiness=compute_readiness(step)
        )
        self.pool.store(record)
    
    def curate_by_quality(self, quality_threshold):
        # Filter steps by quality metrics
        return self.pool.query(quality > quality_threshold)
    
    def configure_training_batch(self, batch_spec):
        # Prepare training-ready batches for downstream RL
        curated = self.curate_by_quality(batch_spec['quality'])
        return batch(curated, batch_spec['size'])

Interactive Inspection

def inspect_trajectory(data_pool, trajectory_id):
    # Interactive visualization of agent trajectory
    steps = data_pool.get_trajectory(trajectory_id)
    
    for step in steps:
        print(f"State: {step.state}")
        print(f"Action: {step.action}")
        print(f"Reward: {step.reward}")
        print(f"Metadata: {step.metadata}")

Key Concepts

1. Step-Level Records: Fine-grained capture of each agent-environment interaction
2. Managed Data Assets: Treat traces as persistent data, not ephemeral logs
3. Quality Curation: Filter data by quality and readiness metrics
4. Training-Ready Batches: Configure data for different downstream RL algorithms
