Introducing three core primitives for aggregating diverse models to achieve lower validation loss and improved data efficiency

Hyper-Epoch Pretraining (q0) for Data-Constrained Language Models

1Q Labs researchers introduce Hyper-Epoch Pretraining (q0), a conceptual shift from single-model training to exploring and aggregating a population of models. q0 uses cyclic schedules, chain distillation, and a learned prior to achieve significant data efficiency gains and lower validation loss in multi-epoch pretraining.

Microsoft Research's text-space optimizer enables self-evolving agent capabilities, demonstrated in a multimodal paper-figure extraction task.

SkillOpt: Optimizing Agent Skills with Trainable Natural-Language Descriptions

SkillOpt, from Microsoft Research, is a text-space optimizer that treats agent skill documentation as a trainable external state. This approach allows agents to self-evolve their capabilities, as shown by @omarsar0's integration, which improved paper-figure extraction quality by 20 points.
