NeMo RL venv for vLLM generation, the async rollout actors and vLLM quantization

From nemo-rl-cuda-13.0-vllm 0.7.0-r23 (enterprise-packages), captured 2026-11-09 by running huey_consumer --help (exit 0). permalink

Usage: huey_consumer [options] path.to.huey_instance

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  Logging:
    The following options pertain to logging.

    -l FILE, --logfile=FILE
    -v, --verbose       verbose logging (includes DEBUG statements)
    -q, --quiet         minimal logging
    -S, --simple        simple logging format (time message)

  Workers:
    By default huey uses a single worker thread. To specify a different number of workers, or
    a different execution model (such as multiple processes or greenlets), use the options
    below.

    -w WORKERS, --workers=WORKERS
                        number of worker threads/processes (default=1)
    -k WORKER_TYPE, --worker-type=WORKER_TYPE
                        worker execution model (thread, greenlet, process). Use process for CPU-
                        intensive workloads, and greenlet for IO-heavy workloads. When in doubt,
                        thread is the safest choice.
    -d SECONDS, --delay=SECONDS
                        minimum time to wait when polling queue (default=.1)
    -m SECONDS, --max-delay=SECONDS
                        maximum time to wait when polling queue (default=10)
    -b SECONDS, --backoff=SECONDS
                        factor used to back-off polling interval when queue is empty
                        (default=1.15, must be >= 1)
    -c SECONDS, --health-check-interval=SECONDS
                        minimum time to wait between worker health checks (default=1.0)
    -C, --disable-health-check
                        disable health check that monitors worker health, restarting any worker
                        that crashes unexpectedly.
    -f, --flush-locks   flush all locks when starting consumer.
    -L EXTRA_LOCKS, --extra-locks=EXTRA_LOCKS
                        additional locks to flush, separated by comma.

  Scheduler:
    By default Huey will run the scheduler once every second to check for tasks scheduled in
    the future, or tasks set to run at specfic intervals (periodic tasks). Use the options
    below to configure the scheduler or to disable periodic task scheduling.

    -s SCHEDULER_INTERVAL, --scheduler-interval=SCHEDULER_INTERVAL
                        Granularity of scheduler in seconds.
    -n, --no-periodic   do NOT enqueue periodic tasks
