OnlineQAT: On-Policy Distillation for Ultra-Low-Bit Large Language Models

Quantization-aware training (QAT) can recover much of the accuracy lost when large language models are compressed below four bits. Existing re- covery stages, however, are commonly optimized on fixed completions or teacher-generated answers, whereas the deployed quantized model condi- tions on prefixes generated by its...

Shared Low-rank Basis Factorization for Data-free Mixture-of-Experts Compression

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models decouple capacity from compute through sparse routing, but their large parameter count creates storage and serving challenges. We analyze three MoE compression families: expert pruning, expert merging, and weight reconstruction, and derive structural error bounds showing t...

Visual Jev Rewards: Reference-Bound Verification for Multi-Subject Image Generation

Multi-subject image generation requires rewards that verify whether requested attributes, actions, and relations hold for the specified reference subjects. Subject presence alone does not establish that the correct subjects participate in a requested interaction. We present reference-bound Visual Jev rewards that turn...

Constrained Diffusion for Data-Scarce Orbital Monte Carlo in Constellation Tasking

Constellation Monte Carlo results depend on the orbital population used to evaluate a tasking policy. With scarce reference trajectories, replay limits geometric diversity, while independent orbital-element jitter can violate physical constraints. We study constrained diffusion for orbital-population augmentation. A fo...

Denoising Blocks, Not Tokens: Efficient Compressed Continuous Diffusion with Branching Token Realization

Diffusion language models (DLMs) generate text through iterative parallel refinement, offering the potential for higher throughput than autoregressive (AR) decoding. However, most DLMs still maintain one generative state per token, so every denoising step processes a state sequence as long as the output sequence, limit...

Kuration SDK: Addressing the Virtual2Real Gap via Data Curation

Benchmarks for measuring the quality of action-conditioned world models are still evolving and shifting away from visual similarity-based metrics to action-semantic and physically-grounded metrics. However, for domain and task-agnostic action-conditioned world model training, existing benchmarks provide a limited signa...

Node-level Graph Neural Architecture Search Framework

In recent years, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and architecture search frameworks have gained extensive application in non-Euclidean data processing, attributable to their superior capacity in managing unstructured data. Nevertheless, traditional approaches typically apply uniform convolution operations to all nodes, re...

LeCuration: A Tiny World Model as a Data Curation Multi-Tool

Many applications of physical AI run within finite or closed physical worlds with a limited set of physical laws governing object behavior. Examples include robots working in a warehouse and agents moving around in a video game. In order to better organize, filter, and curate data for physical AI applications, we propo...

Evaluating Trajectory Features for Routing Final-Layer Attention

Attention routing requires a signal that predicts the value of attention on the current prefix. We evaluate whether hidden-state extrapolation error, curvature and error change improve this prediction beyond uncertainty, one-step displacement, position and state projections. Paired executions of the final attention lay...

Package Hallucination Attacks on Coding Agents through Prompt Injection in Rule Files

Modern agentic coding frameworks increasingly rely on community-shared rule files (e.g., AGENTS.md or .cursorrules) to guide autonomous code generation, yet the security risks of this pipeline remain underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce the package hallucination attack, where an attacker injects malicious pr...

Efficient Best-of-N policy evaluation for inference-time alignment

Best-of-N (BoN) is a common inference-time alignment method that selects the highest-scoring response among N samples from a reference model. Evaluating BoN policies from logged data is challenging under sample-only access because standard off-policy estimators require density ratios that depend on unavailable response...

An Informational Curse of Horizon in Goal-Conditioned Policy Learning

The difficulty of learning goal-reaching policies is often attributed to a "curse of horizon" that manifests as bias accumulation in temporal-difference backups and noisy advantage estimates. In this work, we identify an additional informational curse of horizon in goal-conditioned policy learning, where increasing the...
