Large vision-language models have shown strong progress in UI-to-code generation, yet their test-time self-evolution remains unstable. We first identify a fundamental obstacle, termed visual repair coupling: a local code edit may propagate through layout, style, and component dependencies, correcting one visual mismatch while degrading regions that were previously faithful. To address this issue, we present RubSE, a Rubric-guided Self-Evolution framework that uses rubrics to represent visual feedback as a structured visual-repair context. At each refinement round, RubSE generates typed candidate rubrics, selects one prioritized repair target, and stores previously selected rubrics as history, thereby steering each revision toward a well-scoped visual repair while discouraging repeated or over-broad changes. Evaluations across six VLMs and three UI-to-code benchmarks demonstrate that RubSE substantially outperforms na\"ive self-evolution in final-round and best-round settings, achieving more stable refinement trajectories and a higher trajectory-level performance ceiling. Further analysis shows that RubSE mitigates trajectory collapse by improving recovery from severe visual regressions, and that stronger rubric generators can transfer effective visual-repair guidance to weaker code improvers.

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have achieved impressive generalization in robotic manipulation, and recent memory-augmented VLAs have relaxed the Markovian assumption by conditioning on past images or language summaries. Vision-based memory approaches address this by conditioning on sampled past image frames, but they are computationally expensive and fundamentally limited when temporal events are visually ambiguous, e.g., pushing a button multiple times with small movements. We propose FM-VLA, a VLA model with force-based memory, enabling temporal context reasoning for non-Markovian, contact-rich manipulation. We encode force histories into compact force memory tokens with a variational autoencoder (VAE) pretrained with force time series reconstruction. By projecting force latent representations and short state history as additional conditioning tokens to the action expert module, we enable VLAs to leverage accumulated contact event history to guide manipulation. We evaluate FM-VLA on three memory-dependent tasks, including finding a hidden block, pressing a button, and wiping a dish for a specific number of times. Our lightweight force memory achieves over 80% success rate with minimal inference overhead, significantly outperforming baseline approaches. Project page: https://qft-333.github.io/FM-VLA-Page/

Real-world document tasks often ask professionals to answer questions from annual reports, regulations, clinical guidelines, and technical manuals that span hundreds or thousands of pages. Some questions also require comparing related reports. Reliable long-document understanding is therefore a prerequisite for using LLMs in compliance, clinical, financial, and engineering workflows, where decisions must be traceable to specific evidence pages and the cost of an unsupported answer is high -- yet most existing benchmarks still measure short-context or single-page QA. We introduce XL-DocBench, a fully human-verified benchmark for extra-long document understanding, with 1,519 retained questions from six professional domains and contexts up to 2,303 pages. XL-DocBench goes beyond page-level lookup. 1,103 examples (72.6\%) use multiple evidence pages. The final set also includes 556 questions (36.6\%) that use tables, charts, or figures, and 165 questions (10.9\%) that require evidence from multiple documents. Each question has one of twelve reasoning labels, expert-annotated evidence pages, a typed verification rule, and an answer format, including 218 None-answer cases. We build the benchmark with a tree-guided synthesis pipeline followed by artifact filters and full verification by 194 human experts. By coupling extra-long professional contexts with page-level evidence and typed rules, XL-DocBench fills a gap left by prior single-page, short multi-page, or text-only long-context benchmarks, and lets future work attribute system failures to retrieval, evidence use, or rule following rather than to a single leaderboard score. The results show that current systems still struggle with long contexts, multi-page evidence, and structured reasoning over professional documents.
