LongStraw: Long-Context RL Beyond 2M Tokens under a Fixed GPU Budget

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.

ZGCM-1: A Fully Open and Extremely Efficient Foundation Model for Math and Agentic Search

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.

SLAI T-Rex: Full-Parameter Post-training of the DeepSeek-V4 Family on Ascend SuperPOD

arXiv:2607. 20145v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-parameter post-training of trillion-parameter-scale MoE models introduces substantial system-level challenges for large-scale distributed training, including severe memory pressure, non-overlapped communication overhead, and inefficient kernel execution.

Breaking the Solver Bottleneck: Training Task Generators at the Learnable Frontier

arXiv:2606. 18284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The limiting resource for training agents via reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly frontier task supply: valid, solvable tasks just difficult enough to train the current model.
