Intrinsic self-correction asks a language model to revise its own answer without receiving new external evidence. A second pass can recover mistakes, but it can also overturn answers that were already correct. We study this trade-off across 29 open-weight LLMs on BoolQ, GSM8K, and Corr2Cause by tracking correctness tra...
Across 4,500 full-duplex calls and five voice configurations, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi remain within 3.2 task-completion points of English, but Korean and Mandarin fall by 14.7 and 8.4 points, respectively.

Although uniform diffusion language models (UDLMs) represent a promising diffusion paradigm, scaling them remains challenging. We identify the core obstacle as an over-uniform training objective and condition-target confusion during sampling. To address these, we propose Less Uniform Diffusion (LUDI), a novel UDLM fram...

Large language model search agents are often trained with synthetic questions whose difficulty is increased through larger evidence graphs, additional hops, and longer trajectories. These global properties, however, are only indirect proxies for the local retrieval capabilities required during search. To address this m...

Researchers across academia increasingly base significance claims on LLM judge scores and small-sample AI evaluations. Yet without well-calibrated confidence intervals (CIs), hypothesis tests, and judge-bias corrections, such claims are unreliable. We address these issues in several contributions. First, we find that r...
This paper evaluates six strong browser-use agents, three GUI-only agents that see only screenshots, and humans, evaluating the construction of challenging instances from tasks agents already solve, turning difficulty into a programmable property of the environment.

Neighbor information improves individual prediction in all 16 public-data settings and pooled collective forecasts on held-out questions, although collective gains depend on transfer conditions.
Lookahead-R is proposed, a planning-based framework that reformulates tool retrieval as a resource-constrained sequential decision-making problem that introduces a lightweight execution-aware surrogate world model that jointly predicts tool execution success, latency cost, and semantic utility—without invoking real API...
TRACE is presented, a deployable tree-relational enhancement framework for oncology LLMs that separates expensive offline structure learning from lightweight online inference, and suggests that explicit, updatable medical structure is a practical path toward more accurate and auditable oncology LLM deployment.

A multi-agent framework in which a story agent, an image agent, and a critic agent collaborate to produce fake social media posts that plausibly counter true news is introduced, providing a foundation for developing robust defenses against social media fake news.

Memory Adaptation for Task-Conditioned Execution (MATE) is introduced, a deterministic post-retrieval procedure that converts trajectories into execution-oriented memory and supports memory adaptation as a distinct stage between retrieval and embodied execution.

LLM agents can make unsafe tool calls even when instructed to behave safely. Existing defenses constrain agents before execution, modify tool inputs/outputs, or rely on LLM judges; these approaches may depend on model behavior or block unsafe actions without helping the agent recover. We argue that the execution enviro...
