A data-centric approach improves long-context reasoning in large language models, using eight curated datasets with 14K examples across retrieval, multi-evidence synthesis, and reasoning tasks. When paired with minimal outcome-based GRPO training, it achieves average gains of +7.2 to +6.4 points on seven benchmarks, outperforming prior RL training sets, and enhances agentic performance by +4.8 and +7.0 points on GAIA and BrowseComp respectively.

Qwen-AgentWorld: Language World Models for General Agents
Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B and Qwen-AgentWorld-397B-A17B are the first language world models that simulate agentic environments across seven domains using long chain-of-thought reasoning. Trained via a three-stage pipeline—CPT, SFT, and RL—these models outperform existing frontier models on AgentWorldBench, a benchmark derived from real-world interactions of five models on nine established tasks.
Social World Model for Lifelong Social Intelligence
The Social World Model decomposes social interaction into five dimensions to enable closed-loop learning. It allows open-source models to sustainably improve and retain social capabilities, outperforming baselines and matching closed-source Gemini 3 Flash in key metrics without forgetting across difficulty levels.
SFT or RL-first for Qwen 3.5 Tool Agent Training?
A user asks whether supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by reinforcement learning (RL) is still recommended for training Qwen 3.5 4B or 9B agents for multi-tool use, or if RL-only approaches yield better results. The post also seeks guidance on reward design and handling parallel tool execution in agent workflows.
Watching a Local AI Voice Assistant Get Dumber
A test on an RTX 5060 Ti showed that reducing a local AI voice assistant's model size from 9B to 0.8B leads to a sharp decline in capability. The 9B model handles tool orchestration well, while smaller models show increasing failures: the 4B model skips tool calls and guesses facts, the 2B model suffers semantic drift, and the 0.8B model fails to operate agent functions, triggering wrong APIs or infinite loops.
