A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment. The gap is especially important for AI agents, whose observations, tool outputs, documents, and prior decisions accumulate over long trajectories. LongStraw is an architecture-aware execution stack for million-token RL post-training under a fixed GPU budget, instantiated with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). It evaluates the shared prompt without autograd, retains only model-specific state needed by later tokens, and replays short response branches one at a time, reducing the live training graph at the cost of additional replay time. We implement it for the hybrid recurrent and full-attention Qwen3.6-27B and the compressed-attention mixture-of-experts GLM-5.2. On eight H20 GPUs, LongStraw completes grouped Qwen scoring and response backward at 2.1M positions for groups of 2 and 8; increasing the group size adds only 0.21 GB of peak allocated memory, while a separate stress test reaches 4.46M positions. On 32 H20 GPUs, we validate the end-to-end LongStraw execution path for a 2.1M-token prompt across all 78 layers of GLM-5.2. These experiments establish execution capacity rather than complete training correctness because the captured prompt state is detached and some distributed forward and gradient composition paths remain incomplete.

Macaron-V1 is an open agent-model family for experiential intelligence: learning from experience in real environments and continuing to learn after deployment. It is organized around two system goals. Adaptation is pursued through recursive improvement of versioned model-harness pairs, where experience from one configuration is evaluated under an external contract and used to construct its successor. Collaboration is pursued via the Mixture-of-LoRA (MoL) architecture that freezes a base model, composes specialist LoRA adapters, and selects one LoRA per user turn. The flagship Macaron-V1-Venti combines a 744B GLM-5.2 base with four LoRAs for chat, agent, coding, and GenUI; the Qwen3.6-based Macaron-V1-Tall (50B) uses the same design for local deployment. This report presents Macaron-V1 as a co-designed system spanning architecture, algorithms, and infrastructure. The MoL architecture supports continual learning through extensible LoRA specialists. The algorithm combines Model-Harness Co-design and recursive self-improvement loop, including the UI4A component-native GenUI harness, a stateful action substrate, versioned HCP contract, and the agentic RL framework MindForge. The supporting infrastructure includes the post-training platform MinT, the long-context RL method LongStraw, and stability techniques for sparse MoE and DSA base models. We evaluate Macaron-V1 on Personal Intelligence, GenUI, and general capability benchmarks against frontier baselines. Our results validate the current system, while compounding gains from continual learning and collective intelligence remain open questions.
