AIMicrosoft Research Asia has open-sourced Agent Lightning v1.0, a roughly 3,500-line agentic RL framework that trains the same agent harness used in deployment. In an end-to-end coding agent pipeline, Qwen3.5-9B rose from 41.8% to 56.4% Pass@1 on SWE-bench Verified using about 6,000 training samples. The framework runs agents as standard Kubernetes jobs without paid commercial sandbox services.
Why it matters: The source shows how training with the deployed agent harness avoids rebuilding agents, and reports concrete SWE-bench Verified gains from about 6,000 samples.
Ai2@allen_aiOfficialAI score36AIAi2 is making new Stage 1 checkpoints available, with the byte-level components already trained and the original model's weights left unchanged. Researchers can use them to test new architectures and train the full system without repeating that initial stage.
Ai2@allen_aiOfficialAI score20AIAi2 introduces Bolmo, a model that operates on bytes rather than tokens, which the team hopes will lead to larger models adapting how they represent information across languages and domains. Because bytes can also represent images and audio, the approach could eventually extend beyond text.
Ai2@allen_aiOfficialAI score39AIAi2 converted Qwen 3 8B and Llama 3 8B into byte-level models named Bwen 8B and Blama 8B. Both come close to matching their source models' performance in Ai2's evaluations, and Bwen 8B outperforms Bolmo 7B across its aggregate evaluation suite.
Ai2@allen_aiOfficialAI score38AIAi2's paper on retrofitting language models to operate over bytes, the approach behind Bolmo, has been accepted to Nature. The team is also releasing new checkpoints that extend the method from Olmo to Qwen and Llama.
