Trajectory balance: Improved credit assignment in GFlowNets

The paper introduces a new learning objective called trajectory balance for Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets), aiming to improve credit assignment across long action sequences. It demonstrates that minimizing this objective yields a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution. Experiments on four domains show that trajectory balance enhances convergence, sample diversity, and robustness to long sequences and large action spaces.

cMoLLM at Scale: Horizontal Scaling Laws for Mixture-of-LLMs

arXiv:2607. 22577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling large language models (LLMs) has driven their success, yet dense Transformers couple capacity and computation: every parameter is activated for every token, making training and inference costs grow linearly with model size-a critical bottleneck as models approach trillion-parameter regimes.

In-the-Flow Agentic System Optimization for Effective Planning and Tool Use

arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.

GFlowRL: Scaling Distribution-Matching RL to Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 13394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) offer a promising alternative to reward-maximizing reinforcement learning (RL) for large reasoning models, encouraging diverse reasoning paths by matching reward distributions rather than collapsing to dominant modes.

CF-VLA: Efficient Coarse-to-Fine Action Generation for Vision-Language-Action Policies

CF‑VLA introduces a two‑stage coarse‑to‑fine approach for vision‑language‑action policies, replacing multi‑step sampling with a coarse initialization that constructs an action‑aware starting point and a single‑step refinement that corrects residual errors. The coarse stage learns a conditional posterior over endpoint velocity to transform Gaussian noise into a structured initialization, while the fine stage performs a fixed‑time refinement. Experiments on CALVIN and LIBERO demonstrate that CF‑VLA achieves a strong efficiency‑performance trade‑off, reducing action sampling latency by 75.4 % and achieving an 83.0 % real‑robot success rate, outperforming existing NFE=2 methods and matching or surpassing NFE=10 baselines.

Partial GFlowNet: Accelerating Convergence in Large State Spaces via Strategic Partitioning

The paper introduces Partial GFlowNet, a method that partitions a large state space into overlapping partial state spaces to accelerate convergence of Generative Flow Networks. By restricting the actor’s exploration to these smaller regions and using a heuristic to switch between them, the approach enables efficient identification of high‑reward subregions. Experiments on popular datasets show that Partial GFlowNet converges faster, produces higher‑reward candidates, and improves diversity compared to existing methods.
