Abstract

We present IQuest-Q1, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) agentic foundation model with 320B total parameters (15B activated). IQuest-Q1 is developed through a three-stage process: (1) stable and efficient pre-training, combining Stable SplitNorm, Muon, and muP with a two-stage curriculum whose second stage increases the coding-data mixture, preserving a wide stability margin between safe and optimal learning rates; (2) fine-grained mid-training, expanding the data mixture across domains and formats and progressively extending the context; and (3) multi-scaffold with multi-version post-training, combining SFT, domain-specialized RL, and MOPD across various scaffolds to integrate complementary training signals and strengthen agentic coding capabilities. Furthermore, model merging combines different experts and checkpoints from different stages while mitigating conflicts among their parameter updates. The resulting IQuest-Q1 demonstrates capabilities in both coding and general tasks. We release IQuest-Q1 as an open-source model to support community research and development.
