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…
PRIME: A Process-Outcome Alignment Benchmark for Verifiable Reasoning in Mathematics and Engineering
Xiangfeng Wang, Hangyu Guo, Yanlin Lai +11
While model-based verifiers are essential for scaling Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), current outcome-centric verification paradigms primarily focus on the c…
R-Align: Enhancing Generative Reward Models through Rationale-Centric Meta-Judging
Yanlin Lai, Mitt Huang, Hangyu Guo +11
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) remains indispensable for aligning large language models (LLMs) in subjective domains. To enhance robustness, recent work shifts t…
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…
Thinking by Doing: Building Efficient World Model Reasoning in LLMs via Multi-turn Interaction
Bao Shu, Yan Cai, Jianjian Sun +11
Developing robust world model reasoning is crucial for large language model (LLM) agents to plan and interact in complex environments. While multi-turn interaction offers a superio…
