ID Balancing: Stable Training of Extremely Sparse MoE via PID-Based Load Control
Peng Jin, Zihan Qiu, Zekun Wang +8
Scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) via Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) enables massive parameter growth with nearly constant per-token computation. However, further scaling the paramete…
On the Design of Qwen3.8-Next Architecture: Evaluation, Efficiency, and Training Stability
Zihan Qiu, Zekun Wang, Xiao Li +33
We describe the architecture and ablations of Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, a sparse mixture-of-experts model with 125B parameters, 6B activated per token, and additional 51B parameters of n…
Canzona: A Unified, Asynchronous, and Load-Balanced Framework for Distributed Matrix-based Optimizers
Liangyu Wang, Siqi Zhang, Junjie Wang +7
The scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) drives interest in matrix-based optimizers (e.g., Shampoo, Muon, SOAP) for their convergence efficiency; yet their requirement for holis…
A Unified View of Attention and Residual Sinks: Outlier-Driven Rescaling is Essential for Transformer Training
Zihan Qiu, Zeyu Huang, Kaiyue Wen +16
We investigate the functional role of emergent outliers in large language models, specifically attention sinks (a few tokens that consistently receive large attention logits) and r…
CoLD: Counterfactually-Guided Length Debiasing for Process Reward Models in Mathematical Reasoning
Congmin Zheng, Jiachen Zhu, Jianghao Lin +6
Process Reward Models (PRMs) play a central role in evaluating and guiding multi-step reasoning in large language models (LLMs), especially for mathematical problem solving. Howeve…
Qwen3 Technical Report
An Yang, Anfeng Li, Baosong Yang +57
In this work, we present Qwen3, the latest version of the Qwen model family. Qwen3 comprises a series of large language models (LLMs) designed to advance performance, efficiency, a…
Gated Attention for Large Language Models: Non-linearity, Sparsity, and Attention-Sink-Free
Zihan Qiu, Zekun Wang, Bo Zheng +10
Gating mechanisms have been widely utilized, from early models like LSTMs and Highway Networks to recent state space models, linear attention, and also softmax attention. Yet, exis…
Demons in the Detail: On Implementing Load Balancing Loss for Training Specialized Mixture-of-Expert Models
Zihan Qiu, Zeyu Huang, Bo Zheng +7
This paper revisits the implementation of oad-alancing oss (LBL) when training Mixture-of-Experts (MoEs) models. Specifically, LBL for MoEs is d…
Qwen2.5 Technical Report
Qwen, :, An Yang +41
In this report, we introduce Qwen2.5, a comprehensive series of large language models (LLMs) designed to meet diverse needs. Compared to previous iterations, Qwen 2.5 has been sign…
