arXiv:2606. 15079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient and scalable agentic intelligence requires models that can deliver both low-latency responses and strong reasoning capabilities while remaining practical to train, serve, and deploy. In this report, we present Ling-2. 6 and Ring-2. 6, a family of models designed to address this challenge at scale. Ling-2. 6 is optimized for instant response generation and high capability per output token, whereas Ring-2.

6 is tailored for deeper reasoning and more advanced agentic workflows. Instead of training from scratch, we upgrade the Ling-2. 0 base model through architectural migration pre-training and large-scale post-training. This upgrade is guided by a unified co-design of model architecture, optimization objectives, serving systems, and agent training environments, enabling improvements in both model capability and deployment efficiency.

At the architectural level, we introduce a hybrid linear attention design that integrates Lightning Attention with MLA, improving the efficiency of long-context training and decoding. To further enhance token efficiency, we optimize capability per output token through Evolutionary Chain-of-Thought, Linguistic Unit Policy Optimization, bidirectional preference alignment, and shortest-correct-response distillation.

For agentic capabilities, we propose KPop, a reinforcement learning framework designed to support stable training of Ring-2. 6-1T on large-scale environment-grounded data. KPop improves training efficiency through asynchronous scheduling across coding, search, , and workflow execution, enabling scalable learning from complex agent-environment interactions. Together, Ling-2. 6 and Ring-2. 6 provide a practical pathway toward efficient, scalable, and open agentic systems.

We open-source all checkpoints in the 2. 6 family to support further research and development in practical agentic intelligence.
