AFA-LoRA: Enabling Non-Linear Adaptations in LoRA with Activation Function Annealing

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a widely adopted parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method. However, its linear adaptation process limits its expressive power. This means there is a gap between the expressive power of linear training and non-linear training. To bridge this gap, we propose AFA-LoRA, a novel training strategy that brings non-linear expressivity to LoRA while maintaining its seamless mergeability. Our key innovation is an annealed activation function that transitions from a non-linear to a linear transformation during training, allowing the adapter to initially adopt stronger representational capabilities before converging to a mergeable linear form. We implement our method on supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and speculative decoding. The results show that AFA-LoRA reduces the performance gap between LoRA and full-parameter training. This work enables a more powerful and practical paradigm of parameter-efficient adaptation.

DORA: A Scalable Asynchronous Reinforcement Learning System for Language Model Training

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical paradigm for LLM post-training, yet the rollout phase -- accounting for 50--80% of total step time -- is bottlenecked by skewed generation: long-tailed trajectories indispensable for model performance block the entire training pipeline. Asynchronous training offers a natural remedy by overlapping generation with training, but introduces a fundamental tension between efficiency and algorithmic correctness. We identify three constraints in asynchronous training to preserve convergence: intra-trajectory policy consistency, data integrity, and bounded staleness. Existing approaches fail to intrinsically address the long-tailed trajectory problem, which is further exacerbated by the imbalance characteristic of Mix-of-Experts models, or deviate from the standard RL training formulation, thereby hindering model convergence. Therefore, we propose DORA (Dynamic ORchestration for Asynchronous Rollout), which addresses this challenge through algorithm-system co-design. DORA introduces multi-version streaming rollout, a novel asynchronous paradigm that maintains multiple policy versions concurrently -- simultaneously achieving full bubble elimination without compromising algorithmic constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that our DORA system achieves substantial improvements in throughput -- up to 2--3 times higher than state-of-the-art systems on open-source benchmarks -- without compromising convergence. Furthermore, in large-scale industrial applications with tens of thousands of accelerators, DORA accelerates RL training by 2--4 times compared to synchronous training across various scenarios. The resultant open-source models, LongCat-Flash-Thinking, exhibit competitive performance on complex reasoning benchmarks, matching the capability of most advanced LLMs.

Efficient Context Scaling with LongCat ZigZag Attention

We introduce LongCat ZigZag Attention (LoZA), which is a sparse attention scheme designed to transform any existing full-attention models into sparse versions with rather limited compute budget. In long-context scenarios, LoZA can achieve significant speed-ups both for prefill-intensive (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation) and decode-intensive (e.g., tool-integrated reasoning) cases. Specifically, by applying LoZA to LongCat-Flash during mid-training, we serve LongCat-Flash-Exp as a long-context foundation model that can swiftly process up to 1 million tokens, enabling efficient long-term reasoning and long-horizon agentic capabilities.
