Research Papers
Research shows significant disagreement among frontier large language models when fact-checking real-world claims, raising questions about their reliability for verification tasks.
This piece explores the implications and limitations of next-token prediction as the foundational approach for large language models. The discussion examines what this architectural choice means for the future development and capabilities of AI systems.
Scientists have developed a Eureka machine that mimics natural exploration processes to discover solutions and research areas that current AI systems cannot independently identify.
Language models may require 'sleep' or downtime periods to optimize performance and consolidate learning, similar to biological systems. This suggests new approaches to improving model efficiency and capability development.
DeepSWE introduces a new benchmark for evaluating long-horizon coding agents while ensuring the benchmark remains free from data contamination. This tool addresses the need for reliable, standardized evaluation metrics in autonomous code generation.
Large language model agents are increasingly envisioned as always-on personal assistants with access to anything relevant in the user's digital world. Yet current systems operate over only narrow slices of that world, limiting context-sensitive reasoning and effective assistance. Existing benchmarks similarly provide only partial user state and therefore fail to capture performance in such a broad, always-on setting. To address this gap, we introduce Claw-Anything, a benchmark that expands agent...
We present ChildVox, a novel benchmark for characterizing the diverse acoustic signals through which children communicate. Specifically, ChildVox follows the full developmental trajectory from birth through school age, covering physiological sounds, non-linguistic vocalizations, canonical syllables, and spoken language. ChildVox integrates more than 20 sub-tasks across 17 child-centered audio and speech datasets, enabling systematic cross-corpus and cross-domain comparison. We evaluate a represe...
Normalization layers in modern large language models (LLMs) consist of a deterministic normalization operation and a learnable scale vector. While the normalization operation has been extensively studied, the scale vector remains poorly understood despite its ubiquitous use. In this work, we present a systematic study of scale vectors in LLMs from the perspectives of expressivity, optimization, and architectural structure. First, we show empirically that although scale vectors constitute only a ...
World models for interactive video generation have largely focused on single-agent settings, where future observations are generated from a single control signal. However, many generated environments require multi-agent interaction: multiple players, robots, or embodied agents act simultaneously within a shared space. Scaling world models to such settings requires a principled multi-agent design: agents should remain independently controllable, permutation-symmetric, and support efficient infere...
Existing deep learning-based low-light enhancement methods are typically trained on limited datasets with single enhancement targets, which restricts their generalization ability and controllability in real-world applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose ControlLight, a controllable, consistent, and generalizable framework for low-light enhancement. We first construct a large-scale dataset of real-world degraded images with continuous illumination-strength supervision. To further e...
Embodied intelligence is often studied through specialized models for individual tasks such as manipulation or navigation, resulting in fragmented capabilities and limited generalization across tasks, environments, and robot embodiments. In this work, we study whether heterogeneous embodied decision-making problems can be unified within a single vision-language-action model. We present Qwen-VLA, a unified embodied foundation model that extends Qwen's vision-language modeling stack from perceptio...
Autoregressive video generators are attractive for streaming, long-horizon, and interactive applications, but distilling strong black-box teachers into causal students remains difficult. The student must learn under its own rollout distribution, whereas practical teachers may expose only prompt-conditioned completed videos and may differ in architecture, capacity, temporal design, and sampling schedule. This interface makes supervised fine-tuning off-policy, score-based distillation inapplicable...
Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training has shown to improve reasoning in large language models (LLMs). However, there has been little exploration on the problem of data contamination in RL post-training, potentially undermining generalization and evaluation reliability of the training process itself. Existing detection methods primarily rely on output-level signals such as likelihood or entropy, which become unreliable for RL-trained models since RL shapes behavior through trajectory-level re...
We introduce Gemini Embedding 2, a native multimodal embedding model that allows embedding video, audio, image, and text modalities in a unified representation space. We leverage the multimodal capabilities of Gemini to produce embeddings for arbitrary combinations of interleaved inputs across all these modalities that generalize well across a wide variety of tasks. Applying large-scale contrastive learning in a multi-task multi-stage training setup, we achieve state-of-the-art performance on ke...
