All u need is good data and good infra -> many points improvement with tmax!

Terminalmaxxing cannot be stopped 🤫

Introducing TMax v1.1! We improved our data and infrastructure, and managed to improve our models by up to 6 points on TB2.

TMax v1.1 dominates the Pareto curve for open terminal agents under 30B.

As usual, we release everything: our updated data, weights, infra, and training scripts are publically available!

This weeks paper club we have @hamishivi, first author of TMax speaking to us about the paper and building data recipes for terminal agents in general.

RL envs are something that excites you do stop by for our paper-club! We only ask you to bring good questions 😉

Helped out a little on this!

This setup nicely generalises to thing like subagents/swams/etc - just use multiple context files with differing permissions! Lots of details packed into this paper so please give a read!

‼️The Bitter Lesson for context management: Giving LMs unrestricted control over their context beats human-designed SOTA!

Introducing 🩵Context Language Models (CLMs)🩵
- Natively manage their own context
- Treat context as a file
- Learn policies in CLM weights, no harness

Simple but effective method for dynamic rollout compute! Plus some other cool tricks inside for getting even more efficiency from your async rl framework. Take a look!
Is RL actually making your LLM better?

Gains from RL are mostly on easy questions🤯

We're calling this the Matthew Effect for RL on LLMs. We then leverage async RL to solve harder problems by Never Giving Up!
