Visual-Invariance-Augmented Feature Optimal Alignment for Transferable Adversarial Attacks against Closed-Source MLLMs

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) remain vulnerable to transferable adversarial examples, especially in black-box settings where only open-source surrogate models are accessible. Existing targeted transfer attacks mainly align adversarial and target samples using global image-level features, such as encoder [CLS...

APEX: Active Protection at Execution Boundaries for LLM Agents

Indirect prompt injection (IPI) hides adversarial instructions in content that large language model (LLM) agents read at runtime. As agents compose heterogeneous capability units, including Tools, MCP servers, and Skills, the carriers of injection multiply, and defenses built to recognize attack patterns fall behind th...

Dynamical low-rank equilibrium computation for stochastic games between advanced persistent threats and moving target defense

Moving target defense (MTD) against advanced persistent threats (APTs) in industrial control systems (ICS) has well-established game-theoretic formulations, but their practical value hinges on equilibrium computation, which faces two gaps: full-rank value iteration is prohibitively expensive at industrial scale, and th...

VeriFine: Scaling Verification for Self-Improvement in Embodied Reasoning

Self-improving policies continually expose new failure patterns, changing what their judges must be able to verify. However, current fixed judges constrain both optimization feedback and the discovery of useful training examples, limiting further self-improvement. This challenge is even more acute in embodied reasoning...

WorldSolver: Can LLM Agents Simulate the Physical Dynamics via Solver Generation?

LLM-based agents are increasingly advancing scientific and engineering problem solving, with physics simulation emerging as a challenging yet practical testbed for reproducing complex physical phenomena with application in embodied AI, games and films. As the workhorse of such simulation, a solver computes how the stat...

nanoMuse: An Open-Source Personal Agent for Every Device You Own

Assistants from 2011 answered and waited, and agents from 2023 did a task and stopped. In September 2026 Meta's Muse showed an agent for one person, with accounts, devices, memory and a conversation that lasts, closed, in a vendor's cloud, in one country. Such an agent is expected to act on a person's accounts and devi...

ScienceClaw: Benchmarking Continual Self-Evolution of AI-for-Science Agents Across the Natural and Social Sciences

Large language model agents are accelerating scientific automation, yet verified executions rarely become persistent program-level improvements, and existing evaluations do not examine this process across sequential tasks in both the natural and social sciences. We formalize ScienceClaw as fixed-parameter program self-...

Coupled but Late: Turn-Taking Between Full-Duplex Speech Models in Unscripted Dialogue

Full-duplex speech models are trained to converse with a person, but they are increasingly made to converse with each other, in self-play data generation, agent societies, and model-based evaluation. In that loop no human absorbs a timing error: each model's turn-taking is the other's input. We ask what timing the loop...

ParanoiaEval: Benchmarking Unnecessary Defensive Work in Agentic Coding

As coding agents increasingly undertake real-world work autonomously, judging whether their risk treatments are warranted has become important. Existing work evaluates related agent behaviors from separate perspectives, but lacks a systematic framework for unifying these behaviors. To bridge this gap, we introduce Para...

Parallel Predictive World Models for Accurate and Efficient Long-Horizon Planning

Long-horizon world-model planning typically relies on autoregressive rollouts, where predicted states are repeatedly fed back into the model. This preserves temporal structure but creates a horizon-length sequential path and exposes later predictions to recursive decoded-state feedback. We introduce Parallel Predictive...

Recursive Game Creator: An Agentic Product-Level Experience-Oriented Game Harness

Recent game design agents have made substantial progress in generating playable games. However, program correctness does not ensure an enjoyable experience for players. We present Recursive Game Creator, an experience-oriented harness to advance agentic game development from rough game prototypes into entertaining game...

MINDSET: Energy-based Schema Evolution for Long Conversational Agent Memory

Long conversational agents have become essential in our daily lives. They must remember what was said long back in order to help us efficiently complete a task without needing the user to repeat instructions and context repeatedly. However, the main issue is that instructions and context change over time and so the age...
