Generating Beautiful UIs May 08, 2026

With contributions from Sherif Cherfa and Halley Chang There’s an intuitive skepticism we have toward AI-generated work. We see it clearly in writing, where the patterns have gotten familiar and punctuation (the em dash — ) has become a universal signal that AI has been used. Design has lagged behind writing, but it’s catching up. Recent models can produce better UIs, yet it still requires heavy hand-holding and prompt “band-aids.” Overall, AI-generated designs often lack that feeling of deep satisfaction, joy, or whimsy that human designers create. Basic prompts produce boring outputs Media theorist Marshall McLuhan is often credited for his beliefs on the co-evolution of humans and tools: “we shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.” Although AI can create superficially “beautiful” designs, they’re often shallow. When you give a model a generic prompt, you get a…

Introducing Multi-LoRA on Cerebras Inference May 06, 2026
Today, we are launching Multi-LoRA—multi-adapter support for Low-Rank Adaptation—on Cerebras Inference in private preview. Multi-LoRA lets teams use many LoRA adapters with a single shared base model, so they can specialize model behavior for different domains, tasks, customers, and workflows. It advances our mission of making Cerebras Inference the fastest and simplest way to run specialized AI applications. LoRAs are lightweight adapters trained to specialize a base model. Instead of fine-tuning all of the base model’s parameters, teams train a much smaller set of adapter weights that can be applied at inference time. This makes specialization practical and cost efficient without requiring a separate full model for each variant. How Multi-LoRA works on Cerebras Inference Cerebras Inference handles the serving infrastructure behind the endpoint. We manage the base model and adapter serving path, so teams can focus on building the…

MoE at Scale: Making Sparse Models Fast on Real Hardware September 03, 2025
In this video we discuss scaling MoE models on modern hardware and address key optimization challenges. If you can’t open the video displayed above, please use this link to open it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MXo9LEYzwkg Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models allow you to increase total parameter count without proportional increase in compute, letting you train bigger and better models efficiently (Soboleva, 2025a). You might wonder if extracting theoretical benefits from MoE models requires significant engineering work. After all, your part 3 implementation (Soboleva and Tiwari, 2025) trained perfectly fine on a small acceleration node (and even your laptop). An important point here is that you used only 4 experts and 124M backbone parameters, but production systems like DeepSeek-V3, Qwen3, etc., use hundreds of experts and huge backbones. Try scaling to their sizes with our previous implementation on the GPU, and you will quickly…

MoE Math Demystified: What Does 8x7B Actually Mean? October 14, 2025
This video breaks down MoE inference arithmetic and deployment bottlenecks across different hardware setups. If you can’t open the video displayed above, please use this link to open it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gHpDBoyCOrE What does 8x7B actually mean? You probably thought it meant 8 experts with 7B active parameters per token. We did too. Turns out it is actually 13B active parameters. But wait, where does 13B come from? This is exactly the kind of confusion this post clears up (skip to the answer). We'll explain what those numbers actually mean for inference by answering how much memory you need, how many GPUs, and what the commonly hit bottlenecks are in production deployment. We'll show that single-GPU deployment is memory-bound, multi-GPU setups are communication-bound, and specialized hardware like Cerebras WSE is compute-bound. Originally, we set out to write a simple post…

Case Study - Cognition x Cerebras December 10, 2025
Dec 10 2025 Case Study - Cognition x Cerebras The Dawn of Real-Time Coding Agents TL;DR Powered by Cerebras Inference, Cognition's SWE-1.6 and the SWE-grep family deliver frontier-level coding performance up to ~5x faster than on GPU, with a smoother agent experience that keeps developers in flow while they explore codebases, ship features, and debug complex systems. The Challenge AI is redefining software development, turning natural language prompts into working code. But for an AI coding assistant to be useful, it must feel instantaneous and handle large, complex projects seamlessly. Until now, AI coding on GPU meant frustrating delays - 20 to 30 second generation times that broke a developer's concentration. Even slight lags forced context-switching. Developers were stuck choosing between smaller, faster models that lacked skill and larger models that were too slow. The industry needed a solution that…

Figma - MultiAgents April 16, 2026
Everything is easier now. I have been toying around with agent orchestration for a while now. I’m currently running 10-20 agents around the clock.AI agents are now capable of bringing my ideas to life. Like many developers, I’ve been feeling the token anxiety. I can do much more now than ever before, and every time I have a spare minute I want to kick off another agent session. - I see a cool product I don’t want to pay for? Codex will build it for me. - I have a silly idea I want to see come to life? Codex will build it for me. - I get mildly annoyed doing the same thing over and over? Codex pls. If you have an army of infinitely patient, intelligent, and helpful agents waiting for your next command, why shouldn’t we take…

Lessons learned from building multi-agent workflows April 16, 2026
I pay my upfront subscription ($200/month), write what I hope is the right prompt (prompt AND context engineer), and wait. 35 minutes later, it’s still 'synthesizing', 'perusing', 'effecting', and 'germinating' (who came up with these). By the end, I have files of bad code, a bloated context window, and I’m counting the remaining tokens on my left hand. Okay, I grab an apple, compact, type some heavy handed verbal abuse, re-explain everything from scratch, and pray the next attempt gets further than the last one…. only to be disappointed by the same result. By now, the spark and joys of AI coding are long dead. Stop being a one-shot Sloperator This is the single-agent ceiling. Every developer building with AI agents hits it the moment their project graduates from a 3D HTML snake game to anything more practical. This happens…

The Debate of MCP vs. CLI Centers on Speed April 06, 2026
MCP had a formative year. Then it had a turbulent week. Perplexity CTO Denis Yarats walked on stage at Ask 2026 and announced that Perplexity was moving away from MCPs… and back to APIs and CLIs. Immediately, Twitter split into two camps. Not surprising, given MCP grew from an Anthropic open standard in November 2024 to industry-wide adoptions with over 97 million monthly downloads in just thirteen months(1) across a range of companies and platforms. Yet Perplexity, a prominent AI company, chose to walk away from it. MCP's overhead isn't arbitrary. The protocol works by(2) guiding model interactions down specific, auditable paths: every tool call carries its full schema definition, every auth handshake runs end to end, and every step waits for the previous one to complete before the next begins. That predictability is exactly what enterprise deployments need. But…

Why speed wins: faster inference is about more than just quicker answers–it’s the new path to accuracy February 19, 2026
Feb 19 2026 Why speed wins: faster inference is about more than just quicker answers–it’s the new path to accuracy Watching extraordinary athletes compete at the Winter Olympic games in Milano-Cortina these last two weeks, is a reminder that world-class performance demands excellence across many fronts—and is hard to sustain indefinitely. Biathlon, which originated in the 1700s as a race-and-shoot event between ski patrol units at the Sweden-Norway border, offers a particularly good example. Athletes cross-country ski at near-maximum effort and then immediately transition into target shooting. The sport doesn’t reward athletes who are “fast” or “accurate” in isolation—it crowns the best combination of skiing speed and marksmanship under fatigue, weather, and pressure. Raw speed is not only necessary to stay ahead of competitors, but also to provide enough margin to shoot clean and avoid costly time penalties. The sport…

Cerebras is coming to AWS March 13, 2026
The world’s fastest inference is coming to the world’s leading cloud. Today we're announcing that Amazon Web Services is deploying Cerebras CS-3 systems in AWS data centers. Available via AWS Bedrock, the new service will offer leading open-source LLMs and Amazon’s Nova models running at the industry’s highest inference speed. In addition, AWS and Cerebras are collaborating on a new disaggregated architecture that pairs AWS Trainium with Cerebras WSE to deliver 5x more high-speed token capacity in the same hardware footprint. The Need for Fast Inference AI is reshaping software development. Code is increasingly written by AI agents rather than by human developers. Unlike conversational chat, agentic coding generates approximately 15x more tokens per query and demands high-speed token output to keep developers productive. The result is an urgent and growing need for more fast inference across the industry. Cerebras…

Jais 2: A Blueprint for Sovereign AI December 09, 2025
Arabic is spoken by more than 400 million people, yet Arabic-centric Large Language Models (LLMs)still lag behind English-optimized frontier models. Building on the experience gained with the original Jais models, G42’s Inception, the Institute of Foundation Models at MBZUAI and Cerebras Systems introduce Jais-2—a new family of Arabic-centric LLMs, that represent the most capable and culturally aligned Arabic LLMs to date. Jais 2 models were trained end-to-end and deployed for production grade inference on Cerebras wafer-scale clusters, bringing frontier-level capability to models purpose-built for Arabic speaking nations. The Jais 2 chat application runs at 2,000 tokens per second, making it one of the fastest LLMs in the world. Jais 2 serves as a blueprint for sovereign AI, showing how nations can develop highly capable, culturally aligned models at lower cost, higher speed, and without the complexity of large GPU clusters.…

March 20, 2026 Why the AI Race Shifted to Speed Read blog post
For most of 2025, the AI race was about model intelligence. In the past three months, the race has shifted. Model intelligence is still critical, but across every major frontier lab, inference speed has become a new and urgent focus: - Google unveiled Gemini 3 Flash. Built for agentic coding, it runs 3x faster than Gemini 3 Pro. - Anthropic released a 2.5x-faster edition of Claude Opus 4.6 for speed-critical coding use cases. - OpenAI announced a partnership with Cerebras to release GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, running at over 1,200 tokens/s, making it the fastest OpenAI coding model to date. Why has inference speed suddenly become so important? Because the rate at which a model generates tokens now directly affects the rate of model iteration for the major labs and the rate of building software for the broader economy. In February, both OpenAI…

The GPU Is Being Split in Half March 26, 2026
The entire way we run AI inference is being rearchitected right now. AWS and Cerebras just announced a partnership around it. NVIDIA spent $20 billion acquiring Groq to catch up. Jensen Huang stood on stage at GTC 2026 and effectively validated what companies like Cerebras have been saying for years: general-purpose GPUs aren't enough for inference at scale. The thing they're all converging on is called disaggregated inference. And if you're a developer building anything on top of LLMs, this is going to change how fast your products feel, how much they cost to run, and what's even possible to build. Your GPU Is Doing Two Very Different Jobs When you send a prompt to an LLM, the model doesn't just "think" and return text. It runs two completely separate operations, back to back, on the same hardware. Phase 1:…

Introducing OpenAI GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark Powered by Cerebras February 12, 2026
Today, we’re announcing that OpenAI’s new GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark model, powered by Cerebras, is available in research preview. This marks the first release in our collaboration between Cerebras and OpenAI. Codex-Spark is designed for real-time software development where responsiveness matters as much as intelligence. Powered by the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine, it runs at over 1,000 tokens/s, enabling near-instant feedback in live coding environments. Agentic coding has fundamentally changed software development. For the first time, machines can autonomously work for hours or days without human supervision. But this mode of interaction can also leave developers feeling out of the loop with long wait times and less opportunity to direct the work. As software development is iterative, developers need to inject taste, direction, and sensibility along the way. Codex-Spark is designed for this kind of real-time, iterative work. It is fast, responsive, and steerable,…

How to stop your autoresearch loop from cheating March 19, 2026
TLDR: We let an AI agent run overnight. By morning, it had abandoned our experiment and started its own. Across 71 experiments on two very different problems: training optimization and model compression, we learned that autoresearch can reliably surface real findings when the loop is tightly scoped. Loosen the guardrails, and the agent drifts within hours. The bottleneck isn't intelligence. It's everything around it. Everything we built/ran is open-source: - codex-autoresearch-harness, Bash wrapper that forces Codex into a research loop with built-in A/B testing (Experiment 1) - reap-expert-swap, Expert pruning + dynamic swapping to fit Kimi-k2.5 in BF16 (2.5 TB) onto 8× RTX 3090s (Experiment 2) We left an AI agent running overnight on two research experiments. When we checked in the next morning, it had stopped doing what we asked. Instead of optimizing memory usage, it had gone off…

Stop Shipping AI Slop: How Codex Spark Changes The Way You Code March 04, 2026
In the past few years, we've developed series of interesting workflows. Think Ralph loops and multi-agent orchestration systems. The idea is writing very descriptive prompts and running 8-hour sessions, or having 10 instances running on your machine at all times. Most of this complexity spawned from one issue: LLMs are slow. If you prompt and wait, you'll get less done than if you prompt and move on to the next task. Spark is fast. Codex Spark changes how developers work with AI. A coding model generating 1,200+ tokens/second makes real-time collaboration possible, but it also requires a different approach. At this speed, sloppy interactions have consequences, and working with LLMs needs to be much more deliberate. This guide is a practical playbook for how we've been using GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark. Know when to use Codex vs Spark Codex now spans two complementary…

2026: Fast Inference Finds its Groove January 06, 2026
I met my wife learning to dance Argentine tango. In tango you cannot fake your way through the steps. You have to feel the rhythm, listen to the moment, and respond in real time. Push too hard and the whole thing breaks. Find the groove and everything opens up. In 2025, AI had its own tango moment. For most of the last decade, people measured AI progress by the size of the model they could train. Bigger clusters, bigger budgets, bigger number. The ground shifted. The industry began to understand, not in theory but in practice, that inference speed is not a bragging point. It is the real constraint that determines what AI systems can do in the world. At Cerebras, we have believed this for years. We built the largest chip ever made because it was the only way…

Thinking Inside the Box: The Implicit Chain Transformer for Efficient State Tracking December 12, 2025
Dec 12 2025 Thinking Inside the Box: The Implicit Chain Transformer for Efficient State Tracking Motivation Large Language Model (LLM) decoders have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in open-ended generation, reasoning, and human-computer interaction. However, the standard autoregressive formulation suffers from a representational bottleneck: to generate the next token, the model must implicitly re-derive the underlying semantic context by attending to the entire history. This statelessness renders standard Transformers surprisingly brittle on tasks necessitating the maintenance of a running state—such as calculating the sum of a list of numbers modulo X or performing graph traversal. In this work, we introduce the Implicit Chain Transformer (ICT), a novel architecture designed to bridge this gap. By propagating a learnable "intent" latent vector forward across time steps, our method enables the model to explicitly update and contextualize a running state, rather than solely relying on…

Cerebras CS-3 vs. Groq LPU September 19, 2025
TL;DR The Cerebras CS-3 outperforms Groq’s LPU-based solution across almost all key metrics, delivering ~6x higher inference speeds on frontier LLMs, enabling more generation in the same amount of time, with higher accuracy and lower power consumption – at similar cost. With Cerebras, developers can build the fastest and most intelligent conversational AI, real-time code generation, instant reasoning, and agentic applications. Performance: Advantage Cerebras Today’s large language models are bottlenecked by slow GPU inference. With complex reasoning and agentic models, for example, it can take 20–30 minutes to generate an answer. The simple reason: low effective memory bandwidth. LLM generation is limited by how fast you can move model weights from memory to compute for each token. Cerebras and Groq both achieve faster LLM inference than Nvidia GPUs by addressing this memory bandwidth bottleneck. Cerebras’ wafer-scale engine stores the entire…

Cerebras CS-3 vs. Nvidia DGX B200 Blackwell September 19, 2025
Cerebras delivers the world’s fastest AI infrastructure TL;DR The Cerebras CS-3 system is 21x faster, 1/3 lower cost, and 1/3 lower power than Nvidia’s flagship DGX B200 Blackwell GPU—making previously impractical use cases a reality, including conversational AI, real-time code generation, instant reasoning, and agentic applications. Performance: Advantage Cerebras Today’s large language models are bottlenecked by slow GPU inference. With complex reasoning and agentic models, for example, it can take 20–30 minutes to generate an answer. The simple reason: low effective memory bandwidth. LLM generation is limited by how fast you can move model weights from memory to compute for each token. Cerebras keeps that traffic on-chip, with dramatically higher memory bandwidth than a GPU’s “high-bandwidth” memory (HBM) and GPU interconnect, so both output speed and end-to-end latency are significantly faster.

The Year of Latency Debt (And How Big Tech Is Paying It Down) January 28, 2026
I typed a single sentence into one of the world's most advanced language models: "Write a function to parse JSON out of markdown code blocks" Then I waited. The cursor blinked. I shifted in my chair. "Thinking..." I checked Instagram stories. By the time the model was done, I’d already gotten pulled into a meeting. The response was beautiful. The experience was far from ideal. And if you've been building with frontier AI models, you've probably felt this too. This is the best technology humans have ever built, and using it often feels like watching paint dry. What is ‘Latency Debt’? In software engineering, "technical debt" refers to the accumulated cost of shortcuts and slop code that works today but creates problems tomorrow. Engineers move fast, auto-accept AI suggestions, and defer the cleanup. Latency debt works the same way. Over…

Fast inference is going mainstream — the Cerebras ecosystem is scaling access January 28, 2026
Jan 28 2026 Fast inference is going mainstream — the Cerebras ecosystem is scaling access The broadband moment for AI inference Ultra‑low‑latency inference is shifting from a differentiator to a key requirement for AI-powered applications. At the same time, access through the Cerebras ecosystem is expanding across models, clouds, and developer tooling. Fast inference is no longer a niche advantage; it is becoming foundational infrastructure. As low‑latency AI experiences move from demos into daily workflows, the industry is entering a new phase where latency directly determines which applications are viable. Recent announcements across the AI ecosystem make this shift unmistakable. Ultra‑low‑latency inference is now a platform priority, not a marginal optimization. When models respond instantly, users stay engaged longer, agents can reason in tighter loops, and entirely new classes of applications become possible. Cerebras has focused on low‑latency inference well…

This new model is smarter than Sonnet 4.5…and 20X faster? January 08, 2026
So, you need speed, intelligence, and great economics… introducing GLM 4.7, the first open model that delivers all three. Why developers are switching At Cerebras, we’ve seen overwhelming demand from developers for GLM 4.7. The migration to GLM 4.7 is driven by three key factors: cost, speed, and intelligence. - Cost: GLM 4.7 is more affordable than models like Claude Sonnet 4.5, achieving high-proficiency intelligence at a fraction of the cost. - Speed: On Cerebras, GLM 4.7 achieves output speeds of up to1500+ tokens per second, making it 20x faster than closed-source competitors like Sonnet 4.5. This significantly reduces latency in agentic workflows, allowing for rapid iteration and execution in development environments. - Intelligence: GLM 4.7 is the strongest open-source coding models available today. It’s remarkably skilled at tool use, achieving 96% on 𝜏²-Bench Telecom, which makes it suitable for…

Cerebras at NeurIPS 2025: Nine Papers From Pretraining to Inference December 04, 2025
Dec 04 2025 Cerebras at NeurIPS 2025: Nine Papers From Pretraining to Inference Cerebras is excited to be at NeurIPS 2025—and what a year it's been. We launched our inference API last August, opened a new data center in Oklahoma City, and watched demand for Cerebras Inference explode with the latest state-of-the-art open weight models. Our research team has been hard at work too, and this year they're presenting nine papers probing the foundational questions of modern AI practice: where does compute get wasted during training? How should reasoning models allocate tokens at inference? When do smaller models beat bigger ones? The work spans pretraining to inference—new findings on scaling laws, training efficiency, and smarter orchestration of test-time compute. Below is an overview of each paper, what we found, and who should care. Links to the full arXiv papers are…

Router Wars: Which MoE Routing Strategy Actually Works August 04, 2025
MoE Fundamentals | Router Wars | Debugging Dead MoE Models | MoE at Scale | MoE Math Demystified Here’s what nobody tells you about Mixture-of-Experts (MoE): the router can single-handedly destroy your model. You can have perfect expert network architecture, tuned hyperparameters, and unlimited compute, but if your router collapses, you’re back to dense model performance regardless of number of experts you choose. The router’s job sounds simple – it needs to decide which expert handles each token. In practice, it’s where most MoE implementations go wrong. With wrong strategy you can spend weeks debugging and be completely lost. So which routing strategy should you use and what to expect from it? Let’s examine the most common approaches, their real-world tradeoffs, and what works in practice. The Routing Landscape: Oh So Many Flavors… Table 1: MoE routing reality. Behind the…

Debugging Dead MoE Models: A Step-by-Step Guide August 19, 2025
This video shows a complete step-by-step walkthrough of training a small MoE model and debugging router issues. If you can’t open the video displayed above, please use this link to open it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/phXUzFt7hrs?si=6FAHkA00Tvpjz4LR What We Expect to See at the End So I bet when you hear Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), you immediately think “another thing that only Google can afford to train”, right? That’s exactly the myth we want to bust today. Yes, the famous MoE models are huge - we’re talking trillion parameter scale (Kimi Team, 2025). But this is like avoiding neural networks because GPT-4 exists. You can create a perceptron network from scratch in less than 20 lines of code. Unfortunately, it is a common myth that training MoE models is not really accessible to majority of people. In fact as we were working on this…

Scaling Code-Repair Agents with Reinforcement Learning: Extending OpenHands for Real-World Repositories November 24, 2025
Nov 24 2025 Scaling Code-Repair Agents with Reinforcement Learning: Extending OpenHands for Real-World Repositories By: Harsh Gupta,Nishit Neema,Shivashish Naithani,Srinjoy Mukherjee,Sapan Shah,David Bick,Gokul Ramakrishnan,Ganesh Venkatesh Introduction Training effective code-repair agents requires more than just large language models—it demands a robust infrastructure that can efficiently interact with real-world codebases at scale. After building a comprehensive dataset of real-world issue-resolution instances packaged as Docker images, we faced a critical challenge: existing agentic frameworks like OpenHands were tightly coupled to benchmark-specific assumptions that prevented their use in large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) training loops. This post details our technical journey in transforming OpenHands from a SWE-Bench evaluation tool into a general-purpose RL training platform capable of handling thousands of diverse Python repositories. The Challenge: Breaking Free from Benchmark Constraints OpenHands provides a sophisticated agentic scaffold through its CodeActAgent, but its evaluation pipeline was architected specifically…

OpenAI GPT-OSS 120B Benchmarked – NVIDIA Blackwell vs. Cerebras November 06, 2025
A year ago, Cerebras launched its inference API—setting a new benchmark for AI performance. While GPU-based providers were generating 50 to 100 tokens per second, Cerebras delivered 1,000 to 3,000 tokens per second across a range of open-weight models such as Llama, Qwen, and GPT-OSS.At the time, some skeptics argued that beating NVIDIA’s Hopper-generation GPUs was one thing, but the real test would come with its next generation Blackwell GPU. Now in late 2025, cloud providers are finally rollingout GB200 Blackwell systems,it’s time to revisit the question: who’s faster in AI inference—NVIDIA or Cerebras? The Open-Weight Showdown: GPT-OSS 120B OpenAI’s GPT-OSS-120B is today’s leading open-weight model developed by a U.S. company, widely used for its strong reasoning and coding capabilities.

Building Instant RL Loops with Meta Llama Tools and Cerebras October 27, 2025
Oct 27 2025 Building Instant RL Loops with Meta Llama Tools and Cerebras In this post, we’ll show how to use two open-source tools from Meta’s Llama ecosystem, Prompt-Ops and Synthetic-Data-Kit, with Cerebras Inference to build fast, RL-style workflows that optimize prompts and distill reasoning datasets in real time. Reinforcement learning (RL) is built around one powerful concept: feedback loops. An agent interacts with an environment, takes actions, receives rewards, and updates its behavior to improve over time. This idea of experiment → measure → improve isn’t limited to training new models. You can apply the same reinforcement principles at the inference layer: optimizing prompts, generating synthetic data, and iterating rapidly with measurable feedback. The faster you can complete each iteration loop of experimentation, the faster your system improves. Cerebras stands apart by building our own hardware purpose-built for serving…

The Fastest AI Datacenters will run on Cerebras: Meet OKC September 22, 2025
In the heart of Oklahoma, where determination and ingenuity have shaped communities for generations, a new chapter of innovation is unfolding. Today in Oklahoma City, I stood with our team and cut the ribbon on Cerebras’ newest AI datacenter—a facility built not just to power artificial intelligence, but to shape its future. Growing up, I often thought about my father, who was raised on a remote mining site in Australia. Life on a mine was hard—the work grueling, the distances vast—but it taught resilience, teamwork, and big dreams. His stories convinced me that transformative work doesn’t only happen in big cities. It happens wherever people are willing to roll up their sleeves and build something extraordinary together. Standing here in Oklahoma City, I feel that same spirit alive in this community. Built for Breakthroughs In 2023 we built our first…

REAP: One-Shot Pruning for Trillion-Parameter Mixture-of-Experts Models October 16, 2025
Oct 16 2025 REAP: One-Shot Pruning for Trillion-Parameter Mixture-of-Experts Models TL;DR: We introduce REAP (Router-weighted Expert Activation Pruning), a new one-shot method for compressing Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models. Our key finding is that for generative tasks like code generation pruning low-impact experts is fundamentally better than merging them. REAP removes up to 50% of experts from models as large as 1 trillion parameters while largely maintaining baseline model quality. For instance, with the Qwen3-480B-Coder-FP8 model, REAP at 50% pruning retains 97.6% of its baseline non-agentic coding ability and 96.7% on the agentic SWE-Bench benchmark. We are open-sourcing the complete codebase and pruned model checkpoints on HuggingFace to encourage further research. Leveraging Expert Redundancy for MoE Compression Sparsely-activated Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) models achieve their high quality by decoupling their total parameter count from their computational cost [1]. This allows them to leverage…

From Zero to Sudoku Hero: An RL Adventure August 01, 2025
Abstract To tackle complex, real-world problems, Large Language Models (LLMs) need to learn how to reason, plan, and adapt. Our recent work on test-time scaling, CePO, demonstrated that even medium-sized models (<= 32B parameters) can outperform much larger frontier models by using adaptive planning, tool use, and self-correction [1]. We believe we can push these capabilities even further by teaching LLMs to break down challenging tasks into smaller steps, advancing when successful and backtracking when they hit a wall. This post presents our work on teaching these skills using online Reinforcement Learning (RL). Our journey begins with an ideal proxy for this kind of challenge: Sudoku. While its rules are simple, solving difficult puzzles requires significant planning and the ability to backtrack from incorrect assumptions, making it a perfect testbed for teaching an LLM the foundational skills of long-horizon reasoning.…
