Trajectory’s concurrent multi-LoRA stack reports a 2.81× experiment-throughput gain over single-tenant RL, with all code in the NovaSky-AI/SkyRL GitHub repository. Most language models improve in discontinuous jumps. A team collects data, trains, and ships a new version. This takes months and produces remarkable or catastrophic behavior for users. Trajectory wants to replace that cycle with […]

Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers “dark knowledge” from a large teacher model to a smaller student. The student learns from the teacher’s full output probability distribution over tokens, not just correct answers. This is done via per-position Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence over next-token probability distributions. This formulation requires a shared tokenizer. A practitioner committed to Llama-3.2-1B cannot

StepFun today released Step 3.7 Flash, a multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model targeting agentic use cases. It adds native vision input and improved tool-use reliability over Step 3.5 Flash. What is Step 3.7 Flash? Step 3.7 Flash is a 198B-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) vision-language model. It pairs a 196B-parameter language backbone with a 1.8B-parameter vision encoder (ViT)

Liquid AI just shipped LFM2.5-8B-A1B. It is an on-device Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model built for tool calling. The model holds 8.3B total parameters but activates only 1.5B per token. That sparsity is what lets it run on consumer hardware. The release follows LFM2-8B-A1B, which Liquid AI team published earlier. LFM2.5 is a new family of hybrid

Anthropic just launched Claude Opus 4.8. Also, there two Claude Code updates shipped with it. Dynamic workflows run many subagents in parallel. Fast mode now supports Opus 4.8 at a lower price. Both are research previews. What Dynamic Workflows Actually Are A dynamic workflow is a JavaScript script that orchestrates subagents at scale. Claude writes

Researchers from Sakana AI and the University of Tokyo propose DiffusionBlocks. It trains transformer-based networks one block at a time. Training memory is reduced by a factor of B, where B is the number of blocks. Performance is maintained across diverse architectures. The Memory Problem in Neural Network Training End-to-end backpropagation requires storing intermediate activations

NVIDIA Releases Polar, a Token-Faithful Rollout Framework for GRPO Training Across Codex, Claude Code, and Qwen Code

Reinforcement learning for language agents is growing more complex. Agents now manage multi-turn tool use, long-running contexts, and multi-agent orchestration. The main engineering challenge is connecting existing agent software to training pipelines without breaking how those tools work. NVIDIA’s research team introduced Polar, a rollout framework that lets researchers run reinforcement learning over any agent

MEMO: A Modular Framework for Training a Dedicated Memory Model on New Knowledge Without Modifying LLM Parameters

Large language models become static after pretraining. Their knowledge does not update as the world changes. Retraining a full LLM is too expensive at modern scales. Fine-tuning risks degrading previously learned knowledge. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) struggles when answers require reasoning across many documents. A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore, MIT CSAIL,

In this tutorial, we implement the Langfuse (an open-source LLM engineering platform) pipeline for tracing, prompt management, scoring, datasets, and experiments. We build a complete workflow that works with either a real OpenAI key or a deterministic mock LLM, so we can understand every major Langfuse feature without depending on paid model access. We start

Microsoft Research Releases Webwright: A Terminal-Native Web Agent Framework That Scores 60.1% on Odysseys, Up from Base GPT-5.4’s 33.5%

Most web agents today drive a browser one action at a time. The model receives the current page state — as a screenshot or DOM text — and predicts the next click, keypress, or scroll. This action-at-a-time design made sense when language models had limited reasoning ability. As models have become more capable at writing
