ARL-Tangram: Unleash the Resource Efficiency in Agentic Reinforcement Learning
Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a transformative workload in cloud clusters, enabling large language models (LLMs) to solve complex problems through interactions with real world. However, unlike traditional RL, agentic RL demands substantial external cloud resources, e.g., CPUs for code execution and GPUs for reward models, that exist outside the primary training cluster. Existing agentic RL framework typically rely on static over-provisioning, i.e., resources are often tied to long-lived trajectories or isolated by tasks, which leads to severe resource inefficiency. We propose the action-level orchestration, and incorporate it into ARL-Tangram, a unified resource management system that enables fine-grained external resource sharing and elasticity. ARL-Tangram utilizes a unified action-level formulation and an elastic scheduling algorithm to minimize action completion time (ACT) while satisfying heterogeneous resource constraints. Further, heterogeneous resource managers are tailored to efficiently support the action-level execution on resources with heterogeneous characteristics and topologies. Evaluation on real-world agentic RL tasks demonstrates that ARL-Tangram improves average ACT by up to 4.3$\times$, speeds up the step duration of RL training by up to 1.5$\times$, and saves the external resources by up to 71.2$\%$. This system has been deployed to support the training of the MiMo series models.
MiMo-V2-Flash Technical Report
We present MiMo-V2-Flash, a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 309B total parameters and 15B active parameters, designed for fast, strong reasoning and agentic capabilities. MiMo-V2-Flash adopts a hybrid attention architecture that interleaves Sliding Window Attention (SWA) with global attention, with a 128-token sliding window under a 5:1 hybrid ratio. The model is pre-trained on 27 trillion tokens with Multi-Token Prediction (MTP), employing a native 32k context length and subsequently extended to 256k. To efficiently scale post-training compute, MiMo-V2-Flash introduces a novel Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD) paradigm. In this framework, domain-specialized teachers (e.g., trained via large-scale reinforcement learning) provide dense and token-level reward, enabling the student model to perfectly master teacher expertise. MiMo-V2-Flash rivals top-tier open-weight models such as DeepSeek-V3.2 and Kimi-K2, despite using only 1/2 and 1/3 of their total parameters, respectively. During inference, by repurposing MTP as a draft model for speculative decoding, MiMo-V2-Flash achieves up to 3.6 acceptance length and 2.6x decoding speedup with three MTP layers. We open-source both the model weights and the three-layer MTP weights to foster open research and community collaboration.
