01Summary
The model alternates between active input processing and sleep phases, where memory is stabilized via MoE-based expansion and self-generated synthetic data. Parameter scaling, on-policy distillation, and RL refinement allow continuous adaptation without catastrophic forgetting, supporting up to 10M token context retention.
