Step 3.5 Flash: Open Frontier-Level Intelligence with 11B Active Parameters
Ailin Huang, Ang Li, Aobo Kong +213
We introduce Step 3.5 Flash, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that bridges frontier-level agentic intelligence and computational efficiency. We focus on what matters most wh…
STEP3-VL-10B Technical Report
Ailin Huang, Chengyuan Yao, Chunrui Han +90
We present STEP3-VL-10B, a lightweight open-source foundation model designed to redefine the trade-off between compact efficiency and frontier-level multimodal intelligence. STEP3-…
PaCoRe: Learning to Scale Test-Time Compute with Parallel Coordinated Reasoning
Jingcheng Hu, Yinmin Zhang, Shijie Shang +17
We introduce Parallel Coordinated Reasoning (PaCoRe), a training-and-inference framework designed to overcome a central limitation of contemporary language models: their inability…
Visual Merit or Linguistic Crutch? A Close Look at DeepSeek-OCR
Yunhao Liang, Ruixuan Ying, Bo Li +7
DeepSeek-OCR utilizes an optical 2D mapping approach to achieve high-ratio vision-text compression, claiming to decode text tokens exceeding ten times the input visual tokens. Whil…
CodeARC: Benchmarking Reasoning Capabilities of LLM Agents for Inductive Program Synthesis
Anjiang Wei, Tarun Suresh, Jiannan Cao +6
Inductive program synthesis, or programming by example, requires synthesizing functions from input-output examples that generalize to unseen inputs. While large language model agen…
