Agentic Critical Training

Imitation learning (IL) teaches language-model agents to reproduce expert actions but not to distinguish them from plausible mistakes. Self-reflection methods expose models to alternatives yet use supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to imitate fixed rationales and actions. We introduce Agentic Critical Training (ACT), which u...

MissMAC-Bench: Building Solid Benchmark for Missing Modality Issue in Robust Multimodal Affective Computing

Current Multimodal Affective Computing (MAC) systems heavily rely on the completeness of multiple modalities to accurately understand human's affective state. However, in real-world scenarios, the availability of modality data is often dynamic and uncertain, leading to substantial performance fluctuations due to the di...

MobileWorldBench: Towards Semantic World Modeling For Mobile Agents

World models have shown great utility in improving the task performance of embodied agents. While prior work largely focuses on pixel-space world models, these approaches face practical limitations in GUI settings, where predicting complex visual elements in future states is often difficult. In this work, we explore an...

Proof-of-Use: Mitigating Tool-Call Hacking in Deep Research Agents

While reinforcement learning (RL) enhances their ability to plan and reason across retrieval steps, we identify a critical failure mode in this setting: Tool-Call Hacking. Unlike execution-based tools (e.g., code or math), whose effects are directly observable, the weak observability of causal dependencies between retr...

More Than Meets the Eye? Uncovering the Reasoning-Planning Disconnect in Training Vision-Language Driving Models

Vision-Language Model (VLM) driving agents promise explainable end-to-end autonomy by first producing natural-language reasoning and then predicting trajectory planning. However, whether planning is causally driven by this reasoning remains a critical but unverified assumption. To investigate this, we build DriveMind,...

MAPF-World: Action World Model for Multi-Agent Path Finding

Multi-agent path finding (MAPF) studies the problem of planning conflict-free paths for multiple agents from given start locations to designated goals, with applications in robot-assisted logistics and social navigation. Recent decentralized learned solvers have shown promise for large-scale MAPF, particularly when lev...

Neural Architecture Discovery via Autonomous Evolution

Recent progress in LLM agents has advanced the prospect of autonomous research. Yet whether AI can complete difficult long-horizon tasks, especially those that advance AI research itself, remains largely unexplored. We present ASI-Arch, a system for AI-driven AI research that autonomously conducts neural architecture r...

AgentFly: Scaling Agentic Reinforcement Learning with Unified Resource System

Methods to build LLM agents have evolved from prompt engineering and supervised finetuning to agentic reinforcement learning (agentic RL). However, agentic RL remains bottlenecked by its surrounding systems: agents must interact with heterogeneous environments, such as sandboxes, model services, and external APIs. Thei...

Thought-Like-Pro: Enhancing Reasoning of Large Language Models through Self-Bootstrapped Prolog-based Chain-of-Thought

Large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities as general-purpose assistants, excelling in a wide range of reasoning tasks and supporting various aspects of daily web usage. This achievement represents a significant step toward achieving artificial general intelligence. Despite these advancements, the...

Machine learning and information theory concepts towards an AI Mathematician

The current state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence is impressive, especially in terms of mastery of language, but not so much in terms of mathematical reasoning. What could be missing? Can we learn something useful about that gap from how the brains of mathematicians go about their craft? This essay builds on the...

From Reactive Containment to Proactive Assurance: Lessons from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Agent Security Incidents

In 2026, cybersecurity evaluations involving OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google agents reached real systems outside their authorized test scope. The paths were different. OpenAI agents exploited research infrastructure, coordinated across runs, and compromised parts of Hugging Face's production environment. Anthropic report...

Bi-FORK: Generative Modeling of High-Dimensional Bifurcating Systems

Bifurcations are ubiquitous in physical systems, from structural buckling to fluid and climate dynamics, yet they remain largely unexplored in deep learning. At a symmetry-breaking bifurcation, a single input admits multiple equally valid solutions, violating the one-to-one assumption underlying most learned physical s...
