FlashPrefill V2: Block-Sparse Prefill Attention for Long-Context LLM Serving

👍 14

08/20 16:02

Long-context modeling is a pivotal capability for Large Language Models, yet the quadratic complexity of attention remains a critical bottleneck, particularly during the compute-intensive prefilling phase. Our previous work, FlashPrefill, mitigates this cost through instantaneous pattern discovery a

FlowEvo: Self-Evolving Agents through the Co-Evolution of Workflows and Executable Skills

👍 2

08/20 08:00

Large language model agents can adapt to complex tasks by constructing workflows at inference time, but procedures discovered in one episode are usually discarded after execution. Existing skill libraries provide reusable executable routines, but are typically assembled offline and do not grow from

GOAG: Generative and Object-Agnostic Grasp Planner for Dexterous Robotic Manipulation

👍 6

08/20 08:00

Multifingered grasping is a crucial robotic skill, but current deep-learning grasp planners often struggle to generalize to new objects because they are trained on limited, object-specific datasets. We introduce a fundamentally different approach, grounded in the observation that the gripper and the

SWE-bench Science: Can Coding Agents Resolve Engineering Tasks in Science?

👍 58

08/20 08:00

Software increasingly functions as part of the scientific instrument itself, making failures in scientific code capable of compromising not only program behavior but also the evidence underlying scientific conclusions. Yet existing evaluations of coding agents largely emphasize aggregate task succes

Repo0: Design-Driven Zero-to-All Code Generation

👍 17

08/20 08:00

Large language model agents have made substantial progress in code generation, yet most existing systems assume a predefined repository architecture. This assumption does not hold in zero-to-all code generation, where an agent must construct an entire software project directly from natural-language

Inject, Align, Recover: Staged Post-Training for Retrieval-Free Document Knowledge Internalization

👍 10

08/20 08:00

Large language models often fail to answer questions about a bounded document collection when the source documents are not retrieved at inference time. We study this setting as document knowledge internalization: converting a fixed corpus into usable parametric knowledge for retrieval-free question

MemTrapBench: Benchmarking Cognitive Traps in LLM Memory Use

👍 31

08/20 08:00

Memory has become a key component of large language models, enabling them to retain information and learn from long-term interactions. However, existing memory benchmarks mainly evaluate whether information is correctly extracted, stored, and retrieved, while largely overlooking how retrieved memori

EnvHarness: Awakening Static Worlds for Agent Learning

👍 246

08/20 08:00

LLM agents learn by interacting with environments, yet these environments are hand-built and static: blind to an agent's weaknesses, and quickly left behind as it improves. While recent environment generation methods attempt to address this, they require domain-specific pipelines, rely on expensive

PolicyGuide: From Guarding One Action to Guiding the Whole Workflow for Policy-Compliant LLM Agents

👍 7

08/20 08:00

Customer-service LLM agents must follow organizational policy when acting on a user's behalf. Compliance failures arise from either forbidden actions, such as granting an ineligible change, or omitted procedural requirements, such as identification or confirmation. Runtime safeguards can intervene o

FACET: Preserving Source Intent and Executable State in Terminal Task Synthesis

👍 112

08/19 08:00

Training terminal agents requires scalable executable supervision, yet synthesizing high-quality terminal tasks remains challenging. Each task couples an instruction, an initialized environment, a reference solution, and an executable verifier; if these artifacts are generated from inconsistent assu

VA-Judger: Reward Modeling from Human Preference Feedback for Joint Video-Audio Generation

👍 11

08/19 08:00

Using reinforcement learning to post-train joint video-audio generation models requires a reward signal. Existing methods construct this reward by combining metrics for individual quality dimensions, including audio quality, visual fidelity, and synchronization. However, these metrics evaluate perce

SPK: Eliciting Structured Prior Knowledge for Interpretable Out-of-Distribution Detection in Real-Time Object Detection

👍 2

08/19 08:00

Object detectors often produce over-confident predictions for objects outside their training categories, leading to so-called out-of-distribution (OoD) hallucinations. Existing approaches for detecting or mitigating such hallucinations typically either construct scoring functions directly over learn

SkillGate: Training In-Policy Skill Selection in Long-Horizon Agents

👍 6

08/19 08:00

Agent frameworks increasingly package procedural knowledge as skills: instruction files an agent reads on demand, while public libraries now hold thousands of them. Which skill to read has thus become a decision the policy itself makes in the middle of an episode, yet no existing signal trains it. W

Co-RL: Unsupervised Reasoning Emerges from Diverse Cohort in Multi-agent RL

👍 91

08/19 08:00

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful approach for improving reasoning in language and vision-language models, yet its strongest successes still depend heavily on ground-truth supervision (e.g., verifiable reward). Such annotations are costly to obtain and become increasingly scarce

Decision-Metric Alignment in Latent World Models: Diagnostics and Action-Conditioned Objectives for MPC Planning

👍 15

08/19 08:00

JEPA-style latent world models can use Euclidean distance to a goal latent as the cost for model-predictive control (MPC). Strong decoding of task variables, however, does not guarantee that this particular cost ranks candidate action sequences by real task progress. We call the latter property deci

Thinking in a Low-Resource Language: What SFT Builds, What RL Fixes, What Accuracy Cannot See

👍 13

08/18 21:09

Take three frontier mixture-of-experts models (Alibaba, OpenAI, NVIDIA; 3.6-4.0B active parameters each) and fine-tune them to reason in a low-resource language. On accuracy benchmarks almost nothing happens, and the benchmark itself is noise at this scale: changing only the random seed moves the sc

Chain-of-Experience for Continual LLM Improvement

👍 7

08/18 08:00

Humans continuously learn from experience, whereas conventional large language model (LLM) evaluations ignore the models' ability to improve through inference-time interaction. In this paper, we study how LLMs learn from iterative experience at test time, a setting we refer to as Chain-of-Experience

Towards Real-Time and Adaptable LiDAR Scene Completion

👍 3

08/17 08:00

LiDAR scene completion is a key component of 3D perception in autonomous driving, where the scene must be completed in real time to be usable in downstream tasks. Existing approaches typically follow an initialize-and-refine paradigm, in which a coarse initialization of the scene is first constructe

Zetta ζ: An Efficient Closed-Loop Embodied Harness for Self-Evolving Physical Intelligence

👍 141

08/17 08:00

Embodied agents are increasingly used to close the gap left by end-to-end policy models. Yet the agentic path has not realized closed-loop learning in physical execution: existing harnesses remain largely open-loop, following fixed skills during rollout and reflecting only after an episode completes

LLMs Get Smarter from Targeted Synthetic Multilingual Data

👍 4

08/16 08:00

Language-specific competency (LSC) is the phenomenon of a language model performing better or worse depending on the language of the prompt. In other words, a language model outputs different (and potentially incorrect) responses to the same semantic query when prompted in different languages. Prior

Bounded Agents: Delegation Security for Multi-Agent AI Systems

👍 3

08/16 08:00

LLM-based agents can act on behalf of a user to access cloud services, call tools, or invoke agents. At session start, the agent's permissions are set but remain static, and each request is evaluated independently, without considering prior actions. Within its permissions, an agent may act contrary

The More Popular, The Harder to Forget: Adaptive Popularity for LLM Unlearning

👍 17

08/14 08:00

Popular facts are memorised more deeply during pretraining and resist removal longer than rare ones, yet existing LLM unlearning methods apply uniform gradient pressure regardless of training-data frequency. We propose the AdaPop (Adaptive Popularity) method, which combines local token confidence wi

Scaling Creative Writing Beyond Story-Centric Data with Attribute-Guided Genre Expansion

👍 14

08/14 08:00

High-quality creative writing data for large language models (LLMs) remains dominated by story-centric data, limiting models' ability to follow the structural and functional conventions of diverse creative formats. We propose an attribute-guided genre expansion framework for scaling creative writing

The Embedder's Dilemma: LLMs Are Better, but at What Cost?

👍 7

08/13 08:00

Should you replace your text-embedding pipeline with a large language model? We answer this with a controlled, cost-aware comparison of ten LLMs across six families and 26 embedding models (118M to 14B parameters) on 37 tasks spanning classification, semantic textual similarity (STS), clustering, pa

QuoteBench: How Matched Scores Can Hide Command-Path Failures

👍 7

08/13 08:00

LLM coding agents issue Bash commands through interfaces that may serialize, wrap, and reparse model output. Matched execution scores alone cannot distinguish command-generation errors from failures introduced after generation. QuoteBench measures this boundary with exact final-state validation on 5

NARU: A Benchmark for NARrative Evolution and Cultural Nuance Understanding in Japanese Extreme Long Video

👍 8

08/13 08:00

Long-form video understanding encompasses tasks that go beyond retrieving isolated events, including tracking an evolving narrative and interpreting social meaning that may remain implicit. However, existing benchmarks rarely evaluate these capabilities jointly, particularly in high-context, non-Eng

SkillEvo: Self-Renewing Evolution Gradients from Multi-Turn Interaction Feedback

👍 29

08/13 08:00

Agent Skills are today either hand-authored or produced in a single LLM generation pass, and consequently possess no closed loop through which they might improve from the interaction failures they actually cause. Recent work does close this loop, but derives its feedback from single-turn question-an

OmniScientist: An Omni-Modal Omni-Discipline AI Scientist

👍 88

Recent advances in foundation models have enabled AI scientists to automate increasingly complete research workflows, from hypothesis generation and code execution to manuscript preparation. Yet workflow coverage alone does not provide access to the full evidence on which scientific discovery depend

Hierarchical Self-Improvement: A Framework for Task-Specific Evolvable Agent Harnesses

👍 10

08/09 08:00

Modern LLM agents are often improved by modifying prompts, tools, or workflows manually, while the executable scaffold surrounding the model---the harness---is typically treated as a fixed artifact after deployment. This work studies an alternative where the harness is task-specific and continuously

Temporal Multi-Signal Fusion for Token-Level Hallucination Detection

👍 3

06/30 08:00

Token-level hallucination detectors score each token independently from a single signal, and fail exactly when the generating model is confidently wrong. This paper instead treats hallucination as a temporally extended span and detects it by sequence labeling: each token is scored from a 33-dimensio
