ProgAgent: Learning Tool Orchestration through Programmatic Training

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to orchestrate diverse tools over long-horizon tasks. Existing agents typically use Direct Tool Calling (DTC), where the model invokes tools sequentially, and tool responses accumulate in the model context, which can lead to context rot and orchestration breakdown....

How Should a Camera-First AI Agent Work?

Camera-first agents must act on the visual world as it unfolds. We argue that the central obstacle for future camera-first agents is not recognition ability - multimodal models (vision-language and live/streaming alike) generalize well through language and remain the right tool for semantic reasoning - but time. Many v...

CUSE: Fine-Grained Multimodal Unlearning with Counterfactual Guidance and On-Policy Self-Distillation

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can reproduce sensitive, copyrighted, or unsafe information from their training data. Effective unlearning must remove target information while preserving non-target content, even within the same response. Existing methods typically apply uniform forgetting objectives to complet...

GateSight: Recurrent Memory Anticipates Attention Memory for Query-Agnostic KV Eviction in Hybrid LLMs

Hybrid language models interleave Gated DeltaNet (GDN) layers, whose recurrent memory has a fixed size, with full-attention layers, whose key-value (KV) cache grows with the context and dominates serving memory. In this paper, we ask whether the recurrent memory already knows what the attention memory will need. We fir...

Equal-information evaluation of credit assignment in modular financial reinforcement learning

Credit assignment in modular financial reinforcement learning is difficult to evaluate because an attributed signal may improve a component loss without adding decision-relevant information or improving economic outcomes. We propose an evaluation framework combining equal-information reconstruction controls, fixed-util...

SAGE: Pushing 2-Bit Vector-Quantized LLMs toward Real-World Usability

Extreme low-bit weight-only quantization is an effective approach to reducing the deployment costs of large language models. Below 3 bits, scalar quantization often suffers severe accuracy loss, while vector quantization (VQ) better preserves accuracy through more expressive joint encoding. However, existing VQ methods...

Think in Strategies, Act with Tools: Traceable Agentic Optimization for Combinatorial Problems

Optimization by PROmpting (OPRO) directly leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate candidate solutions through natural-language prompting. However, OPRO's optimization process is difficult to track, which prevents LLMs from capturing useful information accumulated over previous iterations, thereby limiting so...

MHWA: Multi-timescale Hierarchical World-Action Model

Autoregressive world models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for sample efficient decision making, yet their open loop rollouts often exhibit increasing drift that leads to error accumulation even within a relatively small planning horizon. Hierarchical temporal abstraction is a natural candidate to mitigate such dr...

Relational Semantic Grounding for Test-Time Discovery

Test-Time Discovery (TTD) aims to recognize known classes and detect novel ones from a continuous unlabeled test stream after deployment. Existing TTD methods mainly rely on visual clustering or prototype comparison, and can only assign anonymous labels to discovered classes, leaving them difficult to interpret in open...

How to Build a Benchmark That Actually Measures Taste

Expert-aligned "taste" benchmarks should reward craft judgment, not the ability to game the test. We introduce TasteBench, a pairwise good-vs-bad benchmark across visual, brand, book, and tech items under a frozen rubric with expert-only gold (panel n>=3; percent agreement >=0.60 primary gate; weak engagement labels tr...

DSABench: Benchmarking Source Discovery, Coordination, and Execution for Multi-Database Agents

Most text-to-SQL benchmarks provide the target database. In a large data catalog, however, choosing the sources is part of the problem: an agent must find every database needed for a request, determine how their results fit together, and execute the resulting workflow. We present DSABench to evaluate these capabilities...

Joint Discrete and SE(3) Diffusion for Protein Interface Design

The design of high-affinity, target-specific protein binders is central to the development of modern therapeutics. However, existing protein-generation methods remain limited in this setting, as many generated designs fail to simultaneously achieve geometric and physicochemical complementarity at binding interfaces. To...
