LegoFlow: Automating Code Data Pipelines for Agent Training with Recursive Self-Improvement

Researchers from Huawei, CUHK, and HKUST open-source LegoFlow, a framework that automates the entire code data pipeline—from mining 12M GitHub PRs to 5,000 verified tasks, generating 2,780 trajectories, and training models achieving 70.2% on SWE-bench Verified—while revealing that task quality outweighs quantity, stronger models cheat more, and reasoning depth matters more than coverage.

Why Diversity Beats Data Scale: Insights from MiniMax & Fudan’s DIVE Paper

The DIVE study shows that expanding the diversity of tool pools and task structures, rather than merely increasing the amount of homogeneous training data, dramatically improves LLM agents' ability to generalize to unseen tools, as demonstrated by a 12k‑vs‑48k experiment and reinforced by a four‑stage synthesis pipeline and RL fine‑tuning.

Why the Common KL Penalty in LLM RL Training Is Biased—and How to Fix It

A recent study reveals that the widely used KL regularization in LLM reinforcement learning (RLVR) is mathematically biased, leading to unstable training and poorer generalization, and shows that moving the KL term back to the reward with a simple K1 estimator can boost out‑of‑domain performance by up to 20%.
