Rollout Pass-Rate Control: Steering Binary-Reward RL Toward Its Most Informative Regime

Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) for software engineering spends much of its compute on stateful trajectories whose grouped binary rewards are highly skewed and weakly contrastive. We frame this as pass-rate control and show that the binary reward-side signal is strongest near a 50% rollout pass rate under four criteria: reward entropy, group-filtering survival, leave-one-out (RLOO) advantage energy under Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and success-failure pair count. We propose Prefix Sampling (PS), which replays self-generated trajectory prefixes to steer skewed groups toward this regime: successful prefixes give mostly failing groups a head start, while failing prefixes handicap mostly passing groups. Replayed states are reconstructed through the existing rollout path, and replayed tokens are masked from the loss so optimization applies only to current-policy continuations. On SWE-bench Verified, PS reaches the baseline high-score regime within evaluation variability while delivering 2.01x and 1.55x end-to-end wall-clock speedups on Qwen3-14B and Qwen3-32B; the 14B peak improves from 0.274 to 0.295. AIME 2025 experiments on 4B and 8B show the same pass-rate-control pattern, and 4B ablations attribute gains to replay, bidirectional coverage, and adaptive control.

AEM: Adaptive Entropy Modulation for Multi-Turn Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) has substantially improved the ability of large language model (LLM) agents to interact with environments and solve multi-turn tasks. However, effective agentic RL remains challenging: sparse outcome-only rewards provide limited guidance for assigning credit to individual steps within long interaction trajectories. Existing approaches often introduce dense intermediate supervision, such as process reward models or auxiliary self-supervised signals, which increases supervision and tuning complexity and may limit generalization across tasks and domains. We present AEM, a supervision-free credit assignment method that adaptively modulates entropy dynamics during RL training to improve the exploration-exploitation trade-off. Since in agentic RL the environment is typically affected by a complete response, rather than an individual token, our analysis lifts entropy dynamics from the token level to the response level, aligning uncertainty estimation with the effective action granularity of LLM agents and reducing sensitivity to token-level sampling noise. We further show that entropy drift under natural-gradient updates is governed by the interaction between the sampled-response advantage and its relative surprisal. Motivated by this result, AEM derives a practical response-level uncertainty proxy and uses it to rescale advantages, leveraging the evolving balance between positive and negative samples to naturally transition from exploration to exploitation. Extensive experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and SWE-bench-Verified with models ranging from 1.5B to 32B demonstrate that AEM consistently improves strong RL baselines, including a +1.4\% gain when integrated into a state-of-the-art software-engineering RL training framework.

LOGIGEN: Logic-Driven Generation of Verifiable Agentic Tasks

The evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) from static instruction-followers to autonomous agents necessitates operating within complex, stateful environments to achieve precise state-transition objectives. However, this paradigm is bottlenecked by data scarcity, as existing tool-centric reverse-synthesis pipelines fail to capture the rigorous logic of real-world applications. We introduce \textbf{LOGIGEN}, a logic-driven framework that synthesizes verifiable training data based on three core pillars: \textbf{Hard-Compiled Policy Grounding}, \textbf{Logic-Driven Forward Synthesis}, and \textbf{Deterministic State Verification}. Specifically, a Triple-Agent Orchestration is employed: the \textbf{Architect} compiles natural-language policy into database constraints to enforce hard rules; the \textbf{Set Designer} initializes boundary-adjacent states to trigger critical policy conflicts; and the \textbf{Explorer} searches this environment to discover causal solution paths. This framework yields a dataset of 20,000 complex tasks across 8 domains, where validity is strictly guaranteed by checking exact state equivalence. Furthermore, we propose a verification-based training protocol where Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on verifiable trajectories establishes compliance with hard-compiled policy, while Reinforcement Learning (RL) guided by dense state-rewards refines long-horizon goal achievement. On $τ^2$-Bench, LOGIGEN-32B(RL) achieves a \textbf{79.5\% success rate}, substantially outperforming the base model (40.7\%). These results demonstrate that logic-driven synthesis combined with verification-based training effectively constructs the causally valid trajectories needed for next-generation agents.

SWE-Hub: A Unified Production System for Scalable, Executable Software Engineering Tasks

Progress in software-engineering agents is increasingly constrained by the scarcity of executable, scalable, and realistic data for training and evaluation. This scarcity stems from three fundamental challenges in existing pipelines: environments are brittle and difficult to reproduce across languages; synthesizing realistic, system-level bugs at scale is computationally expensive; and existing data predominantly consists of short-horizon repairs, failing to capture long-horizon competencies like architectural consistency. We introduce \textbf{SWE-Hub}, an end-to-end system that operationalizes the data factory abstraction by unifying environment automation, scalable synthesis, and diverse task generation into a coherent production stack. At its foundation, the \textbf{Env Agent} establishes a shared execution substrate by automatically converting raw repository snapshots into reproducible, multi-language container environments with standardized interfaces. Built upon this substrate, \textbf{SWE-Scale} engine addresses the need for high-throughput generation, combining cross-language code analysis with cluster-scale validation to synthesize massive volumes of localized bug-fix instances. \textbf{Bug Agent} generates high-fidelity repair tasks by synthesizing system-level regressions involving cross-module dependencies, paired with user-like issue reports that describe observable symptoms rather than root causes. Finally, \textbf{SWE-Architect} expands the task scope from repair to creation by translating natural-language requirements into repository-scale build-a-repo tasks. By integrating these components, SWE-Hub establishes a unified production pipeline capable of continuously delivering executable tasks across the entire software engineering lifecycle.

QianfanHuijin Technical Report: A Novel Multi-Stage Training Paradigm for Finance Industrial LLMs

Domain-specific enhancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) within the financial context has long been a focal point of industrial application. While previous models such as BloombergGPT and Baichuan-Finance primarily focused on knowledge enhancement, the deepening complexity of financial services has driven a growing demand for models that possess not only domain knowledge but also robust financial reasoning and agentic capabilities. In this paper, we present QianfanHuijin, a financial domain LLM, and propose a generalizable multi-stage training paradigm for industrial model enhancement. Our approach begins with Continual Pre-training (CPT) on financial corpora to consolidate the knowledge base. This is followed by a fine-grained Post-training pipeline designed with increasing specificity: starting with Financial SFT, progressing to Finance Reasoning RL and Finance Agentic RL, and culminating in General RL aligned with real-world business scenarios. Empirical results demonstrate that QianfanHuijin achieves superior performance across various authoritative financial benchmarks. Furthermore, ablation studies confirm that the targeted Reasoning RL and Agentic RL stages yield significant gains in their respective capabilities. These findings validate our motivation and suggest that this fine-grained, progressive post-training methodology is poised to become a mainstream paradigm for various industrial-enhanced LLMs.

MGFI-Net: A Multi-Grained Feature Integration Network for Enhanced Medical Image Segmentation

Medical image segmentation plays a crucial role in various clinical applications. A major challenge in medical image segmentation is achieving accurate delineation of regions of interest in the presence of noise, low contrast, or complex anatomical structures. Existing segmentation models often neglect the integration of multi-grained information and fail to preserve edge details, which are critical for precise segmentation. To address these challenges, we propose a novel image semantic segmentation model called the Multi-Grained Feature Integration Network (MGFI-Net). Our MGFI-Net is designed with two dedicated modules to tackle these issues. First, to enhance segmentation accuracy, we introduce a Multi-Grained Feature Extraction Module, which leverages hierarchical relationships between different feature scales to selectively focus on the most relevant information. Second, to preserve edge details, we incorporate an Edge Enhancement Module that effectively retains and integrates boundary information to refine segmentation results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MGFI-Net not only outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of segmentation accuracy but also achieves superior time efficiency, establishing it as a leading solution for real-time medical image segmentation.
