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...

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...
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...

Recent incidents have highlighted the challenge of monitoring LLM agents and the danger of models deceiving people. We show that white-box deception detection via probes can be scaled up to frontier monitoring settings by collecting the largest deception dataset to date for training probes and introducing a novel probe...

A generalist robot should not only perform diverse tasks but also improve through experience, turning what it learns during execution into capabilities that later tasks can reuse. Robot agents that act through code can already repair programs from execution feedback, yet it remains a central challenge to organize this...

MAMHOI factorizes scene-aware HOI generation through an explicit motion-affordance interface between scene understanding and motion synthesis, allowing scene understanding and interaction dynamics to be learned from complementary sources of supervision without requiring paired human-object-scene data.
LLM developers post-train their models to exhibit prosocial values and behavioral traits, which are enumerated in an alignment target. However, while recent post-training developments have yielded models that score highly on alignment evaluations, training models on sets of narrow behaviors still influences their behav...

World action models (WAMs) predict actions and future observations, typically from a reconstruction-based representation that carries noisy, redundant information which can complicate downstream predictions. We introduce LeWAM, a bidirectional transformer for forward, backward, inverse dynamics and policy prediction, o...

Current 3D generation methods lack explicit local control: geometric adherence is often defined by a global control strength, and appearance cannot be specified locally. We present SpaceFlow, a training-free pipeline for locally controllable 3D generation from text descriptions and a collection of geometric primitives....

The prevailing approach to improving robot foundation models (RFMs) relies on larger models, more robot demonstrations, and costly training at scale. We show that there exists an effective and efficient complementary approach: the right reasoning recipe can substantially improve the zero-shot task performance of existi...

Spatial reasoning remains a persistent weakness of vision-language models (VLMs), because RGB inputs do not directly provide geometric evidence. Existing remedies either inject 3D into the model at inference, paying architecture and latency costs, or train with outcome rewards that supervise only the final answer. Spat...

Anatomical continuity provides complementary information for medical image restoration, but its use requires accounting for local anatomy and variations in slice sampling. We introduce ContiLNN, which augments two-dimensional restoration backbones with bidirectional closed-form continuous-time (Bi-CfC) modules for cros...
