Without a clear understanding of these, you cannot effectively train and optimize your AI agents. This chapter will demystify what a rollout entails and, more importantly, equip you with the knowledge to design impactful reward functions.</p> <h3 id="what-is-a-rollout">What is a Rollout?</h3> <p>A <strong>rollout</strong> in Agentic Lightening refers to a single, complete execution of your <code>LitAgent</code> on a given <code>AgentLightningTask</code>. It represents an interaction sequence where the agent processes an input, potentially takes multiple internal steps (e.g., calling tools, querying an LLM, performing reasoning), and ultimately produces an output or reaches a terminal state.</p>
