KAT-Dev (32B) is an open-source 32B parameter model specifically designed for software engineering tasks. It achieved a 62.4% resolution rate on the SWE-Bench Verified benchmark, ranking fifth among all open-source models of various scales. The model is optimized through multiple stages, including intermediate training, supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT), as well as large-scale agent reinforcement learning (RL). Based on Qwen3-32B, its training process lays the foundation for subsequent fine-tuning and reinforcement learning stages by enhancing fundamental abilities such as tool usage, multi-turn interaction, and instruction following. During the fine-tuning phase, the model not only learns eight carefully curated task types and programming scenarios but also innovatively introduces a reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) stage guided by human engineer-annotated “teacher trajectories.” The final agent reinforcement learning phase addresses scalability challenges through multi-level prefix caching, entropy-based trajectory pruning, and efficient architecture.
