arXiv:2603.04135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) effectively scales LLM reasoning but incurs prohibitive computational costs due to its extensive group-based sampling requirement. While recent selective data utilization methods can mitigate this overhead, they could induce estimation bias by altering the underlying sampling distribution, compromising theoretical rigor and convergence behavior. To address this limitation, we propose Dynamic Pruning Policy Optimization (DPPO), a framework that enables dynamic pruning while preserving unbiased gradient estimation through importance sampling-based correction. By incorporating mathematically derived rescaling factors, DPPO significantly accelerates GRPO training without altering the optimization objective of the full-batch baseline. Furthermore, to mitigate the data sparsity induced by pruning, we introduce Dense Prompt Packing, a window-based greedy strategy that maximizes valid token density and hardware utilization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DPPO consistently accelerates training across diverse models and benchmarks. For instance, on Qwen3-4B trained on MATH, DPPO achieves 2.37$\times$ training speedup and outperforms GRPO by 3.36% in average accuracy across six mathematical reasoning benchmarks.

arXiv:2602.12705v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present MedXIAOHE, a medical vision-language foundation model designed to advance general-purpose medical understanding and reasoning in real-world clinical applications. MedXIAOHE achieves state-of-the-art performance across diverse medical benchmarks and surpasses leading closed-source multimodal systems on multiple capabilities. To achieve this, we propose an entity-aware continual pretraining framework that organizes heterogeneous medical corpora to broaden knowledge coverage and reduce long-tail gaps (e.g., rare diseases). For medical expert-level reasoning and interaction, MedXIAOHE incorporates diverse medical reasoning patterns via reinforcement learning and tool-augmented agentic training, enabling multi-step diagnostic reasoning with verifiable decision traces. To improve reliability in real-world use, MedXIAOHE integrates user-preference rubrics, evidence-grounded reasoning, and low-hallucination long-form report generation, with improved adherence to medical instructions. We release this report to document our practical design choices, scaling insights, and evaluation framework, hoping to inspire further research.
