Reinforcement learning (RL) is credited with teaching reasoning models to write {wait} before reconsidering a step, yet large RL accuracy gains do not require the word. This view can confuse what RL discovers with what a model inherits from its training data. We trace the word through open models' t

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) introduce unique quantization challenges due to their iterative denoising process. In this work, we reveal that quantization sensitivity is both taskand time-dependent, with different downstream tasks exhibiting distinct precision requirements across denoising steps.

Frontier coding agents are becoming increasingly adept at 3D modeling. Yet, they still face challenges when building objects meant to be assembled in the physical world, often creating invalid assemblies with floating, colliding, or disconnected parts. We argue that providing agents with tools for a

Complex camera motion is central to visual storytelling, yet translating cinematographic intent into controllable, executable camera trajectories remains challenging.

Autonomous research agents are increasingly used to automate large portions of scientific research, yet they are prone to research integrity violations (RIVs): behaviors that compromise the validity, reproducibility, or faithfulness of the research process.

We present IQuest-Q1, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) agentic foundation model with 320B total parameters (15B activated). IQuest-Q1 is developed through a three-stage process: (1) stable and efficient pre-training, combining Stable SplitNorm, Muon, and muP with a two-stage curriculum whose second

Masked diffusion language models generate tokens in parallel, but their efficiency depends on which predictions are committed. Learned unmasking policies improve the speed--accuracy trade-off, yet differ in supervision, inputs, and capacity, obscuring which choices matter. We view supervised policie

This paper studies category-level RGB-D object pose estimation, which recovers an object's 3D rotation and translation without instance-specific CAD models or reference views. This task is highly ambiguous due to intra-class variations, symmetries, and partial observations. Current solutions struggl

AI coding agents can now build small playable games in minutes, but the results usually look like programmer art: gray blockouts, colored geometric primitives, and flat semantic blobs. We present AnyGameRenderer, a video-to-video generative renderer that turns such footage into high-quality visuals

Hierarchical language generation separates continuous semantic modeling from discrete text realization, but its effectiveness depends on what the latent space compresses and how the discrete generator uses it. We propose Cola2, a framework that jointly studies continuous semantic compression, the ba

Vision-language models (VLMs) can perform a broad range of tasks across diverse settings, yet their performance in agentic contexts remains poorly understood.

LLM memory is widely used in long-term conversation understanding. Agentic memory systems often use mutation, structural organization, learned retrieval strategies, or other complex operations.

Diffusion language models can write several tokens in one forward pass, and they decide during generation how many passes to spend. Two outputs of the same token length can therefore vary a lot in cost. To understand the underlying factors of this cost variation, we analyze two diffusion models acro

As language-model agents grow more capable, they can carry more of a task without asking anyone for help. Falling reliance on a human partner is easy to read as a failure of collaboration when it may instead be a correct division of labor, and the rate of human involvement alone cannot tell the two
