RoboQuest: Generalist Physical Agents that Search, Inspect and Test

Recent advances in multimodal foundation models have made them capable generalist physical agents for a range of manipulation tasks. However, successful operation in an unfamiliar environment may require an agent to seek task-relevant information through interaction when it is absent from the observations: it may need...

TaoD2C-Bench: Benchmarking MLLMs for Industrial UI Code Generation Beyond Visual Fidelity

A key challenge for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is moving beyond visual recognition to constraint-aware cross-modal reasoning. This involves combining visual cues with information from other modalities to understand elements' relationships under domain-specific rules. This challenge is acutely evident in i...

MIRA: A Musical Intent Refinement Agent for Aligning Text-to-Music Generation with User Intent

Text-to-music systems produce increasingly convincing audio, yet evaluation reveals little about whether the result matches user intent. A global text-audio relevance score can overlook the implicit intent in underspecified prompts and mask failures in specific requirements, such as instrumentation, structure, rhythm,...

SLDR: Defending Against Malicious Fine-tuning via Selective Layers Recovery and Dynamic Routing

Fine-tuning-as-a-service enables users to adapt aligned large language models (LLMs) to specialized tasks, but malicious fine-tuning can erode refusal behavior while preserving task performance on legitimate inputs. We revisit recent layer-wise safety diagnostics and find that safety sensitivity is signed: scaling diff...

Performance at What Cost? A Sustainability-Aware Performance Index for Cell and Nucleus Instance Segmentation

Pretrained models for cell and nuclear instance segmentation differ substantially in architecture, pretraining data and objectives, parameter count, inference strategy, adaptation requirements, postprocessing pipeline, and computational demand. Large pretrained and foundation models are increasingly adopted because of...

LLM-Assisted Generation of Transparent, Open-Source Multiphysics Models of Electrochemical Devices

Multiphysics continuum models are powerful tools for studying electrochemical devices, enabling in silico reactor design and resolution of local pH, potential, and concentration fields that govern device performance but are difficult to measure experimentally. However, constructing such models requires substantial nume...

Fault-tolerant foundation models

Emerging computer hardware often trades reliability for energy efficiency; here we show that large-language models (LLMs) can be trained to tolerate this unreliability, and that rather than degrading, their error resilience actually increases as they grow. Modified neural scaling laws inferred from 40,000 GPU-hours of...

SemanticFold: Latent Sequence Compression SeparatesLanguage Modeling, Decodability, and Reasoning

We study whether latent sequence compression of prompt prefixes preserves the capabilities that large language models rely on during inference. We introduce SemanticFold, a compression scheme that folds prefix hidden states at learned boundaries, and evaluate it across five model scales: Qwen3-1.7B, Qwen3-8B, SmolLM2-1...

LoomSC: Scalable Deep Subspace Clustering with Projector Factorization and Exact Spectral Reduction

Dense self-expression matrices and full-affinity spectral clustering limit the scalability of subspace clustering. We introduce the Latent Orthogonal Optimization Model for Subspace Clustering (LoomSC), a framework that addresses both bottlenecks through projector factorization and exact spectral reduction. Motivated b...

QuSema: Detecting Silent Bugs in Quantum Libraries via Quantum-knowledge-enhanced Agents

Quantum libraries are now critical infrastructure for quantum algorithm development, yet their correctness remains difficult to test. Existing testing techniques mainly rely on failure-based or comparison-based oracles, exposing bugs only when executions fail, violate runtime checks, or disagree with another implementa...

Logarithmic Regret via Passive Change Detection in Piecewise-Stationary Self-Tuning Regulation

We study minimum-variance control of an unknown autoregressive system with exogenous inputs and coefficients that change at unknown times. Under bounded independent disturbances, fixed detection gaps, stability and feasibility conditions, and sufficient time between changes, we prove \(O((C+1)\log((T+1)/\delta))\) regr...

Stationary Bias and Extrapolation in Nonlinear Two-Timescale Stochastic Approximation

Constant-step stochastic approximation generally has a nonzero stationary mean error that persists under time averaging. This paper studies that error for nonlinear two-timescale recursions driven by an exogenous finite-state Markov chain. Under stated smoothness assumptions and conditions on the stationary distributio...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
