ZGCM-1 is a 7B dense foundation model trained from scratch with extreme data, system, and algorithmic efficiency. It uses a core premise that compact models can overcome capacity limits by combining deliberate internal thinking with active external tool use, supported by a 256K context and an end‑to‑end high‑efficiency training recipe that includes interleaved gated sliding‑window and full attention, a stable FP8 Muon optimizer, progressive curriculum scaling, and reformulation of interaction traces into Markov Decision Processes. The model is competitive with much larger frontier models on challenging mathematical reasoning and agentic search tasks, offers a ~4.2× efficiency improvement in pre‑training time‑to‑loss, and its weights, checkpoints, training code, data recipes, and logs are fully open‑source to support community research.

The paper introduces Ban&Pick, a post‑training, plug‑and‑play routing strategy for Sparse Mixture‑of‑Experts large language models. It identifies and reinforces a small group of highly influential experts while dynamically pruning redundant ones, leading to accuracy gains across math, code, and reasoning benchmarks. Experiments on DeepSeek and Qwen3 show notable performance improvements and a 1.25× inference speedup without retraining or architectural changes.

Open-MOPD addresses the capability imbalance problem in multi-teacher on-policy distillation (M-OPD) by isolating capability integration from routing ambiguity and revealing a 35.6% headroom gap compared to a domain-routed oracle ensemble. The study identifies three key factors—sequence-length disparities, convergence drift, and reward staleness—that misallocate token-level optimization budgets, leading to severe degradation in concise tasks. The proposed Open-MOPD framework introduces token-share balancing, gap-aware dynamic budget allocation, and student reward refresh, boosting headroom recovery to 83.4% and providing an open-source, reproducible post‑training recipe and evaluation suite.

arXiv:2607. 14952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment.

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.
