## Abstract (arXiv)

We present Mach-Mind-4-Flash, a 35B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) agentic model with 3B activated parameters. Through post-training optimization alone without scaling pre-training compute, the model achieves performance on par with or surpassing that of 100B-parameter-class models. By introducing scalable agentic interaction environments for large-scale reinforcement learning, the model attains significant performance gains on real-world application tasks. Our pipeline comprises three stages: (1) a unified RL/OPD training infrastructure with dynamic multi-teacher scheduling and operator-level acceleration, delivering 17% end-to-end training speedup; (2) multiple domain-specific RL experts trained in parallel across Reasoning, General, and Agent tracks, then fused into a single generalist via Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD) -- a routed reverse-KL objective that eliminates the see-saw degradation of mixed-reward RL; (3) Hybrid Median-length Policy Optimization (HMPO), a single-stage token-efficiency method that compresses reasoning chains by 19--46% with ≤0.7 percentage-point accuracy loss. Mach-Mind-4-Flash scores 92.70 on AIME'26, 82.82 on IFBench, 80.74 on Behavioral-SafetyBench, 75.80 on BFCL-v4, 72.31 on BrowseComp-zh, and 84.20 on ClawBench -- leading or matching models with 10--30× its activated size at a fraction of the inference cost.
