Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces LongCat-Flash-Thinking, a 560-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model trained with a novel cold-start strategy and large-scale reinforcement learning. It employs domain-parallel training to optimize distinct reasoning domains separately and fuses them into a nearly Pareto-optimal model. The DORA system enables asynchronous rollout training, achieving over threefold speedup compared to synchronous methods.

Summary
LongCat-Flash-Thinking is a 560-billion-parameter open-source Mixture-of-Experts reasoning model trained via a novel cold-start strategy and large-scale reinforcement learning. It uses domain-parallel training to optimize distinct reasoning domains separately and then fuses them into a nearly Pareto-optimal model. Powered by the DORA system, it achieves over threefold training speedup on large accelerator clusters. The model excels in complex reasoning tasks, especially agentic reasoning, reducing token consumption by 64.5% without accuracy loss. It is released to advance reasoning systems and agentic AI research.
