SLAI T-Rex: Full-Parameter Post-training of the DeepSeek-V4 Family on Ascend SuperPOD

Full-parameter post-training of trillion-parameter-scale MoE models introduces substantial system-level challenges for large-scale distributed training, including severe memory pressure, non-overlapped communication overhead, and inefficient kernel execution. While most large-scale LLM training systems are built around GPU-based clusters, this report presents an end-to-end optimization practice on the Ascend NPU SuperPOD. Using the DeepSeek-V4 model family as the target workload, we develop a hierarchical optimization framework spanning model-level parallelism, computation-communication orchestration, and low-level kernel execution. The resulting system achieves 34.22% Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) with a 2.93x improvement over the open-source baseline recipe while maintaining training stability. Building on this optimized infrastructure, we further establish a CPT and SFT workflow for complex Operations Research (OR) tasks. We refer to the integrated framework as SLAI T-Rex. Using DeepSeek-V4-Flash, we develop OR-oriented CPT and SFT data pipelines that combine collected domain resources with solver-verified synthetic optimization documents. The resulting dataset contains 10K high-quality SFT samples spanning four task categories and three problem representations. The specialized model achieves the highest average zero-shot Pass@1 score among the evaluated models, reaching 71.81% and outperforming GPT-5.4-Mini and the base DeepSeek-V4-Flash model by 3.98 and 11.27 percentage points, respectively. Overall, this work demonstrates a full-stack pathway from efficient trillion-parameter model post-training on Ascend infra to domain-specialized Flash models for solver-grounded mathematical modeling, advancing frontier-model systems for complex reasoning.

REPOT: Recoverable Program-of-Thought via Checkpoint Repair

One-shot Program-of-Thought (PoT) emits a Python program that prints a primitive-action plan; a single invalid action silently invalidates the trajectory. We introduce RePoT (Recoverable PoT): a deterministic verified replay that walks the plan through the environment to its first invalid transition, then one LLM call that resumes from the verified prefix. RePoT costs at most one extra LLM call on the ~14% of problems where PoT fails. RePoT beats PoT by +3 to +11pp across four closed-model configurations on PuzzleZoo-775 and peaks at 96.9% vs 86.3% on gpt-5.4-mini-medium; against the matched-budget PoT-retry baseline, RePoT wins decisively on Gemini (+3.8pp, 95% CI [+2.2,+5.4]), is within sampling noise on GPT-medium and Claude, and loses on GPT-mini -- a capability-scaling pattern we begin to address with Adaptive RePoT, a rule-based dispatcher that routes between suffix repair and a fresh PoT retry based on verified-prefix length (preliminary). We replicate on PlanBench Blocksworld (+1.1 to +11.4pp) and on four open-weights models (+3.3 to +20.0pp on three of four). On Derail-550, our controlled recovery benchmark, every condition with access to checkpoint information clears >=30% on GPT-medium and >=70% on Gemini, vs <=3.1% for error-only feedback -- showing that checkpoint information, not the specific verified-prefix tail, is the load-bearing recovery signal.

MERRIN: A Benchmark for Multimodal Evidence Retrieval and Reasoning in Noisy Web Environments

Motivated by the underspecified, multi-hop nature of search queries and the multimodal, heterogeneous, and often conflicting nature of real-world web results, we introduce MERRIN (Multimodal Evidence Retrieval and Reasoning in Noisy Web Environments), a human-annotated benchmark for evaluating search-augmented agents. MERRIN measures AI agents' ability to identify relevant modalities, retrieve multimodal evidence, and perform multi-hop reasoning over noisy web sources. It differs from prior work in three important aspects: (1) using natural language queries without explicit modality cues, (2) incorporating underexplored modalities such as video and audio, and (3) requiring the retrieval of complex, often noisy or conflicting multimodal evidence during web search. We evaluate diverse search agents powered by ten models, including strong closed-source models (e.g., GPT-5.4-mini, Gemini 3/3.1 Flash/Pro) and open-weight models (Qwen3-4B/30B/235B), across three search settings (no search, native search, and agentic search). Our results show that MERRIN is highly challenging: the average accuracy across all agents is 22.3%, with the best-performing agent reaching only 40.1%. We further observe that while stronger agents like Gemini Deep Research achieve higher performance, gains are modest due to over-exploration; they take more steps and use more tools, but are often distracted by conflicting or partially relevant web content, leading to incorrect answers. Compared to humans, these agents consume more resources yet achieve lower accuracy, largely due to inefficient source selection and an overreliance on text modalities. These findings highlight the need for search agents capable of robust search and reasoning across diverse modalities in noisy web environments, making MERRIN a valuable testbed for evaluating such capabilities.
