Function-Aware Fill-in-the-Middle as Mid-Training for Coding Agent Foundation Models

Yubo Wang, Jiarong Liang, Yuxuan Zhang +5

Coding agents must integrate external tool returns into ongoing reasoning - a capability that standard left-to-right pretraining on code exposes only in its forward direction. We o…
