Macaron-V1: Towards Open Continual Learning with Self-Improvement and Mixture-of-LoRA

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 (748B) combines a 744B GLM-5.2 base with four LoRAs for chat, agent, coding, and GenUI; the Qwen3.6-35B-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 Harness Context Protocol 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.
