Start Classifying: Categorical Critics for LLM Reinforcement Learning

Zhijian Zhou, Long Li, Xuan Zhang +7

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for large language models typically trains its critic by mean-squared-error (MSE) regression on scalar value targets. Although scalar MSE is stat…

Internalizing the Future: A Unified Agentic Training Paradigm for World Model Planning

Xuan Zhang, Zhijian Zhou, Lingfeng Qiao +6

Large language model (LLM) agents have demonstrated strong capability in sequential decision-making, yet they remains fundamentally reactive in long-horizon tasks. Unlike humans wh…

HEAPr: Hessian-based Efficient Atomic Expert Pruning in Output Space

Ke Li, Zheng Yang, Zhongbin Zhou +3

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures in large language models (LLMs) deliver exceptional performance and reduced inference costs compared to dense LLMs. However, their large para…

Youtu-LLM: Unlocking the Native Agentic Potential for Lightweight Large Language Models

Junru Lu, Jiarui Qin, Lingfeng Qiao +35

We introduce Youtu-LLM, a lightweight yet powerful language model that harmonizes high computational efficiency with native agentic intelligence. Unlike typical small models that r…
