We study long context language models. Instead of training long context natively, or designing a long context harness, we train a model over the simplest possible harness: a tool to call itself with any specified prompt and a tool to read tokens in a range from the input context. We finetune Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on a diverse synthetic dataset using this harness. With only 8,000 tokens of context, our small model is as strong as GPT-5.4 with 1M tokens of context on the OOLONG-synth benchmark when document length exceeds 40K tokens.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...
