Emergent Inverse-Depth Scaling From Nonlinearity In Attention

Scaling laws describe power-law improvements in model performance with dataset size and parameter count, yet their underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. To explain the parameter count scaling, existing theory posits power-law scaling with model depth. In linear-attention models, this scaling is tied to a powe...

AffordDrive3D: Affordance-Aware World-Action Modeling with Spatial Understanding

World-action models have recently improved autonomous driving by jointly learning future scene prediction and trajectory generation. Most existing approaches model the future primarily through RGB appearance, and recent works have begun to incorporate geometric prediction to improve spatial understanding. However, dens...

Language Modeling is Monotone Compression

A long-standing hypothesis in artificial intelligence and neuroscience posits that intelligence is closely related to compression: the ability to compress information efficiently intuitively reflects capacities associated with intelligence and learning. Indeed, recent experimental works verify this intuition by showing...

NOMOS: Compiling Written Policies into Statically Verified Tool-Call Gates for LLM Agents

Tool-using LLM agents violate the policies they are deployed to enforce, often silently. Prior defenses hand-write rules, query an LLM verifier per action, or compile policies through heavyweight formal machinery. Naive compilation fails: extracted rules block the tool satisfying their own precondition, or read argumen...

Intent Graph: Navigating the Analytical Reasoning Space for Exploratory Data Analysis

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is rarely open-ended in practice: analysts work from high-level domain questions toward the concrete analyses that can answer them, prioritizing directions with domain knowledge and prior hypotheses. Large language models (LLMs) can supply such knowledge, but their responses are unstruct...

Mid-Training Language Models on Raw Video

Multimodal large language models learn mostly from paired image-text data or annotated video, and raw web video is rarely used to further train an existing language model. We study whether raw video, with no captions and no text loss, can serve as mid-training data for a pretrained language model. Frames are encoded in...

Why LLM Agents Favor Their Group: Stakes, Observed Norms, and Reputation

Language-model agents favor their own group because they have watched their members favor each other. The group label alone does little once the decision has a cost; what drives favoritism is observed behavior, and an individual's own record can override it. We test this in small societies with arbitrary group labels,...

Probabilistic Sensing, Deterministic Authority: Admitting Model-Produced Observations into Sufficiency-Checked Governance Contracts

When a field that an authority contract needs exists only in unstructured evidence, a model can sense it. We admit the model's output only as an observation record with a score. An admission policy, with thresholds fitted on a held-out split at a declared false-positive ceiling, maps each score to true, false or unknow...

Optimizing Large Language Models with Chained LMOs

Muon has motivated a growing family of optimizers that compose multiple matrix normalizations, but these methods remain fragmented and lack a unified perspective. We introduce chained linear minimization oracles (chained LMOs), which cast these methods as compositions of LMOs. Despite their empirical success, many chai...

Budgeted Multi-Source Counterfactual Annotation for Off-Policy Evaluation

Off-policy evaluation (OPE) estimates the value of a target policy from logged data, but limited behavior-policy coverage can force high-variance reweighting or reward-model extrapolation. Counterfactual annotations can add evidence about unobserved actions, yet practical sources, including domain experts and large lan...

When Citations Mislead? A Claim-Level Benchmark for Legal Hallucination Detection

Large language models are increasingly used in legal research and drafting, but they can still produce claims that sound convincing without being supported by the cited source. We introduce PARCEL, a benchmark for checking whether a legal claim is supported by the underlying authority. Using recent New York State Court...

iAm.md: Robot Skill Self-Assessment through Agentic Introspection for Unknown Open-Vocabulary Domains

Agentic AI based on Large Language Model generalization capabilities offers a wide range of potential applications, including planning for embodied tasks. For example, embodied agents based on Foundation models can generate plausible plans in autonomous robotics scenarios. Due to limited context windows or hallucinator...

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.
