It mixes [training](https://www.machinebrief.com/glossary/training), [inference](https://www.machinebrief.com/glossary/inference) and sandboxed agent work in a single loop, often with research code tangled into the systems beneath it. Google LLC has been tackling that problem from inside its Kubernetes engineering group, and recently donated […] The post [Google’s GKE Labs turns reinforcement learning into a Kubernetes workload](https://siliconangle.com/2026/11/11/model-fine-tuning-kubernetes-google-s-openrl-explained-kubeconna/) appeared first on [SiliconANGLE](https://siliconangle.com).

[Inference](https://www.machinebrief.com/glossary/inference) Running a trained model to make predictions on new data. [Reinforcement Learning](https://www.machinebrief.com/glossary/reinforcement-learning) A learning approach where an agent learns by interacting with an environment and receiving rewards or penalties. [Training](https://www.machinebrief.com/glossary/training) The process of teaching an AI model by exposing it to data and adjusting its parameters to minimize errors.
