- ### [ZAYA1-8B Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.05365)
  - Summary: arXiv:2605.05365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present ZAYA1-8B, a reasoning-focused mixture-of-experts (MoE) model with 700M active and 8B total parameters, built on.
  - What happened: We also introduce Markovian RSA, a test-time compute method that recursively aggregates parallel reasoning traces while carrying forward only bounded-length reasoning.
