Researchers present a systematic empirical study of inference-time scaling across four dimensions (contextual, temporal, structural, parallel) for locally-deployed computer-use agents under hardware constraints. Evaluating Qwen3-VL-8B/30B-A3B, UI-TARS-1.5-7B, and OpenCUA-7B on OSWorld, they find that additional compute often shifts rather than eliminates failure modes—contextual scaling saturates, temporal scaling extends erroneous trajectories, and structural decomposition adds overhead. The findings argue for selective compute allocation and failure-aware control mechanisms tailored to local model capabilities.
Researchers introduce a large-scale reaction mechanism reasoning dataset and FukuyamaBench, a benchmark derived from Fukuyama's Advanced Organic Reaction Mechanism textbook, to evaluate step-by-step chemical mechanism inference in LLMs. A fine-tuned Qwen3-30B-A3B model achieves 8.3% exact pathway match on FukuyamaBench Set A, outperforming the specialized FlowER model at 5.1%. The work argues that mechanism-aware training addresses hallucinations and physical inconsistencies in current chemical LLMs, which typically focus only on coarse-grained product prediction and retrosynthesis.
Researchers propose Multi-teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD), a post-training paradigm that first trains domain-specialized RL teacher models, then distills them into a student model using on-policy rollouts to eliminate exposure bias. Evaluated on Qwen3-30B-A3B, MOPD outperforms Mix-RL, Cascade RL, Off-Policy Finetune, and Param-Merge baselines while preserving nearly all per-domain capability. The method has been deployed in production for MiMo-V2-Flash, an industrial-scale frontier model, validating its practical applicability. The approach also enables parallel, decoupled development of domain teachers, reducing cross-domain interference in multi-capability post-training.
Researchers introduce SARA (Semantically Anchored Routing Alignment), a framework that addresses cross-lingual routing divergence in sparse Mixture-of-Experts LLMs by aligning the internal routing distributions of low-resource language tokens to match those of high-resource semantic anchors via symmetric Jensen-Shannon divergence constraints. Unlike logit-level distillation, SARA operates directly on MoE routing layers to encourage mechanistic consistency in expert selection across languages. Experiments on Qwen3-30B-A3B and Phi-3.5-MoE-instruct across 5 low-resource languages show modest but consistent gains (up to +1.2%) on Global-MMLU over standard instruction tuning.
This paper introduces Zero-Expert Self-Distillation Adaptation (ZEDA), a framework that converts static post-trained Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models into dynamic ones without pre-training from scratch. ZEDA injects parameter-free zero-output experts into each MoE layer and uses two-stage self-distillation with the original model as a frozen teacher. Applied to Qwen3-30B-A3B and GLM-4.7-Flash across 11 benchmarks, ZEDA eliminates over 50% of expert FLOPs with marginal accuracy loss and achieves approximately 1.20× end-to-end inference speedup, outperforming the strongest dynamic MoE baseline by 4–6 points.
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen3, a new family of large language models including the flagship Qwen3-235B-A22B mixture-of-experts model. The flagship model claims competitive benchmark performance against DeepSeek-R1, OpenAI o1/o3-mini, Grok-3, and Gemini-2.5-Pro on coding, math, and general capabilities. A smaller MoE variant, Qwen3-30B-A3B, reportedly outperforms QwQ-32B despite using only one-tenth the activated parameters, and the 4B model is said to match Qwen2.5's larger models. Models are available across Hugging Face, ModelScope, and Kaggle.
