The Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture is a cornerstone of modern state-of-the-art (SOTA) large language models (LLMs). MoE models facilitate scalability by enabling sparse parameter activation. However, traditional MoE architecture uses homogeneous experts of a uniform size, activating a fixed number of parameters irrespective of input complexity and thus limiting computational efficiency. To overcome this limitation, we introduce Grove MoE, a novel architecture incorporating experts of varying sizes, inspired by the heterogeneous big.LITTLE CPU architecture. This architecture features novel adjugate experts with a dynamic activation mechanism, enabling model capacity expansion while maintaining manageable computational overhead. Building on this architecture, we present GroveMoE-Base and GroveMoE-Inst, 33B-parameter LLMs developed by applying an upcycling strategy to the Qwen3-30B-A3B-Base model during mid-training and post-training. GroveMoE models dynamically activate 3.14 - 3.28B parameters based on token complexity and achieve performance comparable to SOTA open-source models of similar or even larger size.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) by integrating external knowledge. A critical yet underexplored challenge in RAG is document segmentation, also known as document chunking. Existing widely-used rule-based chunking methods usually lead to suboptimal splits, where overly large chunks introduce irrelevant information and small chunks lack semantic coherence. Existing semantic-based approaches either require costly LLM calls or fail to adaptively group contextually related sentences. To address these limitations, we propose PIC, Pseudo-Instruction for document Chunking), a simple yet effective method that leverages document summaries as pseudo-instructions to guide chunking. By computing semantic similarity between sentences and the summary, PIC dynamically groups sentences into chunks that align with the document’s key themes, ensuring semantic completeness and relevance to potential user instructions. Experiments on multiple open-domain question-answering benchmarks demonstrate that PIC can significantly improve retrieval accuracy (Hits@k) and end-to-end QA performance (Exact Match) without any additional training.

Tabular data, which accounts for over 80% of enterprise data assets, is vital in various fields. With growing concerns about privacy protection and data-sharing restrictions, generating high-quality synthetic tabular data has become essential. Recent advancements show that large language models (LLMs) can effectively generate realistic tabular data by leveraging semantic information and overcoming the challenges of high-dimensional data that arise from one-hot encoding. However, current methods do not fully utilize the rich information available in tables. To address this, we introduce AI Generative Table based on prompt enhancement, a novel approach that utilizes metadata information, such as table descriptions and schemas, as prompts to generate ultra-high-quality synthetic data. To overcome the token limit constraints of LLMs, we propose long-token partitioning algorithms that enable AIGT to model tables of any scale. AIGT achieves state-of-the-art performance on 14 out of 20 public datasets and two real industry datasets within the Alipay risk control system.
