Rethinking Neural Thickets Without Weight Perturbations

The Neural Thickets hypothesis posits that pretrained language models lie in dense neighborhoods of task-specific experts in weight space, which random Gaussian perturbations can uncover. We reproduce the reported gains, but show that they do not require this geometric explanation. Perturbing a single decoder block alr...

Diffusable Latents from Structure-Agnostic Distillation

Distilling pretrained foundation models into an autoencoder bottleneck improves latent diffusability, enabling diffusion models to converge faster and reach higher sample quality. Standard distillation aligns the latent at each position to a co-located teacher feature, tying the latent layout to the teacher's. We show...

Multiplayer Interactive World Models with Representation Autoencoders

The first multiplayer world model for highly dynamic environments governed by complex physical interactions is introduced, and how behavior changes with model and data scale is characterized, including the capabilities that emerge and the failure modes that persist.
