We introduce Intern-S1-Pro, the first one-trillion-parameter scientific multimodal foundation model. Scaling to this unprecedented size, the model delivers a comprehensive enhancement across both general and scientific domains. Beyond stronger reasoning and image-text understanding capabilities, its intelligence is augmented with advanced agent capabilities. Simultaneously, its scientific expertise has been vastly expanded to master over 100 specialized tasks across critical science fields, including chemistry, materials, life sciences, and earth sciences. Achieving this massive scale is made possible by the robust infrastructure support of XTuner and LMDeploy, which facilitates highly efficient Reinforcement Learning (RL) training at the 1-trillion parameter level while ensuring strict precision consistency between training and inference. By seamlessly integrating these advancements, Intern-S1-Pro further fortifies the fusion of general and specialized intelligence, working as a Specializable Generalist, demonstrating its position in the top tier of open-source models for general capabilities, while outperforming proprietary models in the depth of specialized scientific tasks.

Recent advances in spectral optimization, notably Muon, have demonstrated that constraining update steps to the Stiefel manifold can significantly accelerate training and improve generalization. However, Muon implicitly assumes an isotropic optimization landscape, enforcing a uniform spectral update norm across all eigen-directions. We argue that this "egalitarian" constraint is suboptimal for Deep Neural Networks, where the curvature spectrum is known to be highly heavy-tailed and ill-conditioned. In such landscapes, Muon risks amplifying instabilities in high-curvature directions while limiting necessary progress in flat directions. In this work, we propose \textbf{Mousse} (\textbf{M}uon \textbf{O}ptimization \textbf{U}tilizing \textbf{S}hampoo's \textbf{S}tructural \textbf{E}stimation), a novel optimizer that reconciles the structural stability of spectral methods with the geometric adaptivity of second-order preconditioning. Instead of applying Newton-Schulz orthogonalization directly to the momentum matrix, Mousse operates in a whitened coordinate system induced by Kronecker-factored statistics (derived from Shampoo). Mathematically, we formulate Mousse as the solution to a spectral steepest descent problem constrained by an anisotropic trust region, where the optimal update is derived via the polar decomposition of the whitened gradient. Empirical results across language models ranging from 160M to 800M parameters demonstrate that Mousse consistently outperforms Muon, achieving around $\sim$12\% reduction in training steps with negligible computational overhead.
