AI services incur inference costs during execution, while revenue may arrive later. Changing API prices, limited upfront capital, and service failures can limit operators' ability to sustain or expand their services. Beyond reducing per-request costs, operators need to plan future spending, fund execution before revenu...
Advances in foundation models are driving efforts to introduce agents to assist people in the physical world. Such agents require agentic spatial intelligence: exploring unfamiliar environments, updating spatial understanding through interaction, and adapting actions based on feedback to sustain progress toward a seque...

Single-cell snapshot data can resolve a continuum of cellular states but do not uniquely determine the dynamics governing transitions between them. However, additional dynamical information can often be encoded in a cell-cell Markov transition kernel. Existing generative approaches for single cell trajectory inference...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures have become essential for scaling large language models, with recent work demonstrating the benefits of fine-grained expert designs. Training such models from scratch is expensive, and sparse upcycling from pre-trained dense models is an attractive alternative. However, we identif...

Large-scale construction of medical vision-language model (VLM) benchmarks is increasingly feasible with richly annotated imaging datasets and large language models (LLMs), yet existing automation largely focuses on generating evaluation items within predefined benchmark specifications. We study the broader problem of...

Voice agents are converging on a collaboration pattern: a full-duplex interaction model stays on the live channel as the entry to the conversation, while search, reasoning, and coding are handled through asynchronous delegation. A duplex model supports continuous listening and speaking, but complex reasoning and tool u...

Presolve strongly affects mixed-integer programming (MIP) performance, yet learning-based methods only optimize parameter configurations and cannot express the non-commutative temporal dependencies among actions, whose default order is nearly unique on most domains, yet functionally necessary: artificially shuffling th...
Autonomous scientific discovery with LLMs requires generating and testing hypotheses adaptively as evidence accumulates while maintaining statistical validity. Existing anytime-valid methods can handle data-dependent hypotheses, but open-ended discovery poses a deeper challenge: the best discovered hypothesis may still...
Agents combine reasoning with tools to interact with external systems and complete real-world tasks. Early agents typically interleave reasoning and actions along a single execution chain. On complex tasks, this chain becomes unreliable because growing histories obscure intermediate dependencies and allow early plannin...

Large language model agents are being increasingly deployed as autonomous scientists, designing experiments and inferring mechanistic world models with minimal human oversight. Yet identifiability is often overlooked: when a plateau is reached, the agent needs to know whether it is not yet capable enough or the model s...
Small vision-language models may be able to read external evidence yet struggle to obtain it. We introduce Harness Compilation (HC), an offline procedure that adapts the division of work between a frozen small VLM and its external harness. A large teacher uses student execution traces to revise reusable content and con...

Weight-only post-training quantization (PTQ) relies heavily on reconstruction loss minimization to preserve model quality at low precision. We show that the weights favored by minimizing this loss need not yield better model performance on new tasks. In fact, we find that lower reconstruction loss can even degrade mode...

Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
