통제된 환경에서 현실까지: 실제 환경용 펜테스팅 에이전트 평가

AI pentesting agents are increasingly credible as offensive security systems, but current benchmarks still provide limited guidance on which will perform best in real-world targets. Existing evaluation protocols assess and optimize for predefined goals such as capture-the-flag, remote code execution, exploit reproduction, or trajectory similarity, in simplified or narrow settings. These tools are valuable for measuring bounded capabilities, yet they do not adequately capture the complexity, open-ended exploration, and strategic decision-making required in realistic pentesting. In this paper, we present a practical evaluation protocol that shifts assessment from task completion to validated vulnerability discovery, allowing evaluation in sufficiently complex targets spanning multiple attack surfaces and vulnerability classes. The protocol combines structured ground-truth with LLM-based semantic matching to identify vulnerabilities, bipartite resolution to score findings under realistic

TurboVLA: RTX 4090에서 1GB 미만 VRAM으로 32Hz 실시간 구동하는 Vision-Language-Action 모델

Vision-language-action (VLA) models commonly adopt an LLM-centric V to L to A pathway, where visual observations are projected into the representation space of a large language model before being decoded into robot actions. Although effective, this design incurs substantial computation and memory overhead at every policy invocation. In this work, we introduce TurboVLA, a new VLA paradigm that reformulates the conventional V to L to A pathway as a direct V + L to A mapping. Instead of using a large language model as the central interface between perception and action, TurboVLA independently encodes visual observations and language instructions, directly exchanges information between them through lightweight bidirectional vision-language interaction, and predicts continuous action chunks with a compact decoder. This simple design constructs task-conditioned representations directly from visual and linguistic features, significantly reducing the computational and memory costs of VLA infer

Jeva: 퍼스트 프린서플로 구현한 System One 모델

System one models enable direct, low-latency decision-making. Yet recent practice of predicting an answer from serialized text does not, by itself, respect the structure of a decision problem. We argue that current designs underemphasize four important structural requirements. (i) null-aware: Models should distinguish answer absence from uncertainty among candidates; (ii) permutation-invariant: Reordering alternatives should not change the decision; (iii) option-scalable: Growing candidate sets should not require redefining the output space; (iv) cacheable: Request-independent computation over recurring alternatives should be reusable across requests. We introduce Jeva, a decision-native architecture that addresses these requirements jointly. A shared encoder independently represents the request and each option, while a compact decision stack refines only the request state against immutable option memory. Symmetric aggregation yields permutation-equivariant probabilities; shared scorin

A prevailing narrative in LLM post-training holds that supervised finetuning (SFT) memorizes while reinforcement learning (RL) generalizes. We revisit this claim for reasoning SFT with long chain-of-thought (CoT) supervision and find that cross-domain generalization is not absent but conditional, jointly shaped by optimization dynamics, training data, and base-model capability. Some reported failures are under-optimization artifacts: cross-domain performance first degrades before recovering and improving with extended training (a dip-and-recovery pattern), so shorttraining checkpoints can underestimate generalization. Data quality and structure both matter: low-quality solutions broadly hurt generalization,while verified long-CoT traces yield consistent cross-domain gains. Model capability is essential: stronger models internalize transferable procedural patterns (e.g., backtracking) even from a toy arithmetic game, while weaker ones imitate surface verbosity. This generalization is as

Diffusion 모델의 온폴리시 자기 증류

Reinforcement learning can align diffusion models with human preferences and task-specific objectives, but endpoint rewards do not specify how an intermediate denoising prediction should change. We introduce DiffusionOPSD as an on-policy self-distillation framework that converts image-level reward guidance into explicit targets for clean-output predictions at sampled queries. At each outer iteration, a frozen behavior policy generates trajectories and supplies query states and anchors. Reward gradients construct bounded positive and negative targets around each anchor. The trainable policy fits these targets as detached supervision through finite fitting before an exponential moving average update refreshes the behavior policy. This setup lets us measure target construction and finite realization separately. Controlled same-query experiments show that larger target-construction gains do not necessarily translate into larger realized gains after a single fitting update. Across SD 3.5-M

AOHP, 개인화·효율·보안을 위한 오픈소스 OS 레벨 에이전트 하니스

AI agents are driving a new software paradigm, with the ability to autonomously call tools, extract information, manage memory, and complete tasks that span applications and data sources. Most existing end-user operating systems, however, are designed for application-centric workflows and offer little native support for AI agents. This mismatch limits the wider adoption of agents and leads to execution overhead and safety risks when running agents on conventional systems. While the concept of agent-native operating systems is emerging, the research community lacks an open testbed to explore the architectural primitives desired for agent-mediated interaction. We present AOHP (Android Open Harness Project), an OS-level agent harness built on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). The core design principle of AOHP is to treat agents as first-class OS actors, enabling adaptive user interfaces and agent-friendly runtime environments. AOHP preserves the mature Android software and hardware

Procedura: 절차적 제어 기반 에이전트형 3D 모델링

Native 3D generators now recover impressive mesh geometry from a single image. However, a dense mesh stays soft where a machined object should be sharp, it carries no part decomposition, and it exposes no parameter a user could edit. To address this, we explore the paradigm of 3D shape as code, leveraging and scaling the coding ability of an LLM for 3D modeling. We introduce Procedura, a novel 3D modeling agent framework that writes an object as a procedural assembly, a parametric program whose named parts are joined by typed, machine-checkable mates. From a text prompt, the agent plans the object as an assembly graph and writes the program part by part, solving each placement from the mated frames rather than guessing it, and admitting a part only once compile, mate, and connectivity checks pass. A decoupled vision critic then refines the assembly one diagnosed fix at a time. Moreover, the same graph carries per-part materials and a simulator-validated articulation. We evaluate on P3D

가설 트리 정제로 범용 자율 연구 에이전트 구현에 한 걸음

Scientific progress depends on a repeated loop of exploration, experimentation, and abstraction. Researchers test candidate directions, interpret the evidence, and carry the resulting lessons into later attempts. We study how an AI agent can run this loop autonomously over long horizons. We introduce Arbor, a general framework for autonomous research that combines a long-lived coordinator, short-lived executors, and Hypothesis Tree Refinement (HTR), a persistent tree that links hypotheses, artifacts, evidence, and distilled insights across time. The coordinator manages global research strategy over the tree, while executors implement and test individual hypotheses in isolated worktrees. As results return, Arbor updates the tree, propagates reusable lessons, refines the search frontier, and admits verified improvements. This design turns autonomous research from a sequence of local attempts into a cumulative process in which strategy, execution, and evidence are carried across time. We

Video world models have achieved remarkable success in simulating environmental dynamics in response to actions by users or agents. They are modeled as action-conditioned video generation models that take historical frames and current actions as input to predict future frames. Yet, most existing approaches are limited to single-agent scenarios and fail to capture the complex interactions inherent in real-world multi-agent systems. We present MultiWorld, a unified framework for multi-agent multi-view world modeling that enables accurate control of multiple agents while maintaining multi-view consistency. We introduce the Multi-Agent Condition Module to achieve precise multi-agent controllability, and the Global State Encoder to ensure coherent observations across different views. MultiWorld supports flexible scaling of agent and view counts, and synthesizes different views in parallel for high efficiency.

MaxKernel: TPU를 위한 에이전트형 커널 생성

Designing and authoring high-performance custom kernels for accelerators is a complex task that requires deep hardware-level expertise. Large Language Models (LLM) can be leveraged together with real-time compiler feedback to build agentic systems for kernel generation. In this work, we present MaxKernel, a multi-agent system that implements three distinct paradigms for TPU kernel development: (1) a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) agent for collaborative, step-by-step design; (2) an Autonomous (Auto) agent that executes a fully automated, metric/trace-driven optimization loop; and (3) a Graph-Based Autonomous Search that scales the Auto agent for global exploration of the design space. All three paradigms leverage a shared pool of specialized sub-agents to handle planning, implementation, self-debugging, testing, and hardware profiling. We evaluate MaxKernel on JaxBench, a comprehensive suite of 50 diverse kernel tasks for TPUs, alongside complex, real-world workloads from state-of-the-art op

Embodied Manipulation을 위한 Data Pyramid

Multimodal foundation models learned to see and to speak by consuming the whole internet. Embodied agents admit no such shortcut, since they require data that couple observations with physical states and actions. These signals can be provided, to varying degrees, by multiple data sources. In this work, we organize the embodied data ecosystem as a "pyramid" spanning five complementary sources: real-robot data, UMI-style data, egocentric and exocentric data, simulation data, and general vision-language data. We organize the pyramid around the tension between scalability and robot alignment, and further characterize each source in terms of data quality, diversity, reusability, and physical fidelity. We then analyze recent embodied foundation models through the lens of their data recipes, examining how different sources are selected, aligned, and mixed during pretraining. For embodied brain models, vision-language-action models, and world-action models alike, we relate data composition to

물리적으로 grounded된 관절형 3D 자산을 향해: 멀티 에이전트 파이프라인과 벤치마크

In this paper, we study physically grounded articulated 3D asset generation---moving the goal from reproducing how objects look to capturing how they move and function. Inspired by the literature on procedural and agentic generation, we present Artisan, a system that extends the latest method Articraft by introducing a multi-agent pipeline with physical simulation feedback, enabling comprehensive attributes beyond geometry, appearance, and physically plausible articulation, such as collision-free motion, stability under gravity, and accurate mass and material properties. Furthermore, we construct a unified benchmark spanning four key aspects: spatial fidelity, physical plausibility, downstream task performance, and overall quality. The benchmark encompasses 100 reference assets from ArtVIP and LightWheel, 50 stability prompts, and 50 ABO objects with reference masses, with protocols evaluating various metrics. Through extensive evaluation of more than 10 representative models, Artisan

Gaussian Splatting demonstrates impressive results in multi-view reconstruction based on Gaussian explicit representations. However, the current Gaussian primitives only have a single view-dependent color and an opacity to represent the appearance and geometry of the scene, resulting in a non-compact representation. In this paper, we introduce a new method called SVGS (Spatially Varying Gaussian Splatting) that utilizes spatially varying colors and opacity in a single Gaussian primitive to improve its representation ability. We have implemented bilinear interpolation, movable kernels, and tiny neural networks as spatially varying functions. SVGS employs 2D Gaussian surfels as primitives, which significantly enhances novel-view synthesis while maintaining high-quality geometric reconstruction. This approach is particularly effective in practical applications, as scenes combining complex textures with relatively simple geometry occur frequently in real-world environments. Quantitative an

AesCode: 분리된 크로스모달 보상 기반 미적 코드 생성

Generating information-rich visual artifacts such as slides, posters, and dashboards as code is appealing because the outputs are structured, editable, and verifiable. Yet code models cannot see how their choices of layout and color come together on the canvas, often limiting spatial planning and aesthetic quality. Image generators excel at visual design but can misrender requested content, making their outputs unreliable targets for direct reproduction. We therefore introduce AesCode, which generates code grounded in the content prompt while using an image generated from the same prompt as an aesthetic guidance. To do so, AesCode represents the target as a design graph that describes the whole canvas and makes each property attributable. From this graph, we derive complementary cross-modal rewards: deterministic verifiers score properties parsable from code and rendering, while a VLM judge assesses the non-parsable ones with a sample-specific Visual Graph Rubric (VGR) tied to graph el

We present MegaTrain, a memory-centric system that efficiently trains 100B+ parameter large language models at full precision on a single GPU. Unlike traditional GPU-centric systems, MegaTrain stores parameters and optimizer states in host memory (CPU memory) and treats GPUs as transient compute engines. For each layer, we stream parameters in and compute gradients out, minimizing persistent device state. To battle the CPU-GPU bandwidth bottleneck, we adopt two key optimizations. 1) We introduce a pipelined double-buffered execution engine that overlaps parameter prefetching, computation, and gradient offloading across multiple CUDA streams, enabling continuous GPU execution. 2) We replace persistent autograd graphs with stateless layer templates, binding weights dynamically as they stream in, eliminating persistent graph metadata while providing flexibility in scheduling. On a single H200 GPU with 1.5TB host memory, MegaTrain reliably trains models up to 120B parameters. It also achie

TLive-Omni: 이커머스 라이브 스트리밍을 위한 옴니모달 이해 모델

E-commerce live streaming requires omni-modal understanding of noisy, temporally extended streams, where product facts are distributed across speech, video frames, product images, overlaid text, and user queries. We present TLive-Omni, an omni-modal understanding model tailored to live-commerce scenarios. It maps image, video, audio, and text inputs into a unified representation space. For long-form live streaming analysis, we introduce Per-vGrid, a timestamped token organization that groups each video grid with its temporally corresponding audio within explicit boundary tokens to facilitate temporal alignment. We design a three-stage supervised training recipe that progressively develops live-commerce understanding, from omni-modal perception to instruction-following responses. We then propose Faithful-RFT, a reinforcement fine-tuning stage that further improves answer faithfulness and expression quality while meeting real-time demands, scoring final responses directly with task-verif

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a central paradigm for post-training LLM agents, yet its trajectory-level reward signal provides only coarse supervision for long-horizon interaction. On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) complements RL by introducing dense token-level guidance from a teacher branch augmented with privileged context. However, transferring OPSD to multi-turn agents proves problematic: compounding multi-turn instability destabilizes supervision, while skill-conditioned privileged guidance requires asymmetric treatment for negative teacher rejections may arise from imperfect skills retrieval or utilization. We introduce SDAR (Self-Distilled Agentic Reinforcement Learning), which treats OPSD as a gated auxiliary objective while keeping RL as the primary optimization backbone. SDAR maps detached token-level signals into a sigmoid gate, strengthening distillation on teacher-endorsed positive-gap tokens and softly attenuating negative teacher rejections. Across the Qwe

Progress in embodied intelligence increasingly depends on scalable data infrastructure. While vision and language have scaled with internet corpora, learning physical interaction remains constrained by the lack of large, diverse, and richly annotated human activity data. We present HumanNet, a one-million-hour human-centric video corpus that captures how humans interact with the physical world at scale. HumanNet spans both first-person and third-person perspectives and covers fine-grained activities, human-object interactions, tool use, and long-horizon behaviors across diverse real-world environments. Beyond raw video, the dataset provides interaction-centric annotations, including captions, motion descriptions, and hand and body-related signals, enabling motion-aware and interaction-aware learning. Beyond scale, HumanNet introduces a systematic data curation paradigm for embodied learning, where human-centric filtering, temporal structuring, viewpoint diversity, and annotation enrich

Image spatial editing performs geometry-driven transformations, allowing precise control over object layout and camera viewpoints. Current models are insufficient for fine-grained spatial manipulations, motivating a dedicated assessment suite. Our contributions are listed: (i) We introduce SpatialEdit-Bench, a complete benchmark that evaluates spatial editing by jointly measuring perceptual plausibility and geometric fidelity via viewpoint reconstruction and framing analysis. (ii) To address the data bottleneck for scalable training, we construct SpatialEdit-500k, a synthetic dataset generated with a controllable Blender pipeline that renders objects across diverse backgrounds and systematic camera trajectories, providing precise ground-truth transformations for both object- and camera-centric operations. (iii) Building on this data, we develop SpatialEdit-16B, a baseline model for fine-grained spatial editing. Our method achieves competitive performance on general editing while substa

Simulation-ready physical 3D assets have emerged as a promising direction owing to their broad applicability in downstream tasks. However, most existing 3D generation methods either neglect physical properties or are limited to a single asset category, e.g., rigid, deformable, or articulated objects. To address these limitations, we introduce PhysX-Omni, a unified framework for simulation-ready physical 3D generation across diverse asset types. Specifically, we develop a novel and efficient geometry representation tailored for Vision-Language Models, which directly encodes high-resolution 3D structures without compression, significantly improving generation performance. In addition, we construct the first general simulation-ready 3D dataset, PhysXVerse, covering diverse indoor and outdoor categories. Furthermore, to comprehensively and flexibly evaluate both generative and understanding capabilities in the wild, we propose PhysX-Bench, which encompasses six key attributes: geometry, ab

Vision Language Models (VLMs) enable a unified model to solve various vision tasks through prompting. They have shown promising performance in semantic understanding. However, 3D understanding still largely relies on expert vision models with complex task-specific designs. The key argument this work wants to make is that VLMs are native 3D learners. Our in-depth large scale study shows that 1) focal length unification, 2) text-based pixel reference and 3) data mixture and scaling, are all you need for effective 3D learning. Model architecture changes, large models, heavy data augmentations, and complex losses including the regression formulation, many of which form the foundation of expert vision models, are actually not necessary conditions. As a result, we propose VLM3, a scalable method with the simplest design that enables standard VLMs to master diverse 3D tasks. VLM3 not only advances the VLM depth estimation accuracy by a large margin (0.84 -> 0.9), but also enables diverse 3D t

월드 액션 모델의 일반화는 무엇이 결정하나: 테스트 시점 미래 모델링 실증 분석

World action models (WAMs) predict the future alongside actions during training. Due to the heavy computation cost of video denoising, whether the future must still be generated during inference is disputed: Explicit WAMs denoise it into clean frames along with every action chunk, whereas Latent WAMs discard it entirely for acceleration. We find that latent WAMs, despite matching explicit ones on in-distribution tasks, fail to retain the generalization benefits that originally motivated WAMs. To demonstrate this, we evaluate generalization along three axes: environmental perturbation, data efficiency, and task generalization. Controlled comparisons with a matched backbone, training data, and budget reveal consistent degradation across all three axes when the action expert no longer conditions on future representations. Further analysis shows that the gap arises almost entirely from the first denoising step: the benefit comes from preparing the future, not generating it. We therefore pr

Multics: 계층적 커뮤니케이션 기반 생성형 멀티플레이어 월드 모델

Multi-player interactive world models aim to simulate shared environments from multiple players' perspectives, but achieving robust generation while scaling to more players remains challenging. Existing approaches that rely on fully-connected communication (e.g., Solaris) incur quadratic attention costs as the number of players grows, while centralized approaches (e.g., γ-World) suffer from interference between unrelated events in a shared global representation. To address these challenges, we present Multics, a multi-player video generation framework with hierarchical communication that structures information exchange across player, group, and global levels. This hierarchy introduces group tokens into self-attention as intermediate group-level representations that aggregate locally relevant player information. These tokens connect to global tokens for cross-group communication, while the hierarchical topology limits direct mixing between unrelated local events. Group-token parameters

INTACT: 검색 없는 월드 모델을 위한 동형 Intent-to-Action 학습

Forward latent world models predict how actions change a scene, but recover actions for a desired change only through expensive test-time search. We introduce INTACT (INtent-To-ACTion), an end-to-end JEPA that turns action-labeled, reward-free trajectories into a deployable intent-to-action interface. Each transition supplies physical intent z_{t+1}-z_t, while a future goal supplies deployment intent sg(z_g)-z_t. The architecture is isomorphic between the local and goal motion-intent backbone-input graphs through an identical four-slot grammar and shared parameters, and between supported local and goal motion-intent families through action-law semantics induced by the same predictor rather than pointwise latent equality. INTACT also provides intact transfer from RGB evidence to action-effective latent intent coordinates and from intent families to their corresponding action-law families. Asymmetric endpoint gradients ground physical successors and fix future goals as anchors, joining r

Frontis-MA1: 머신러닝 엔지니어링의 재귀적 자기 개선을 향한 AI4AI 모델 학습

Recursive self-improvement (RSI) requires AI systems that improve the process of building AI (i.e., AI4AI); machine learning engineering (MLE) offers a concrete, executable testbed for studying this capability. We introduce OpenMLE, an open full-stack system for RSI research in MLE, spanning verifiable task environments with execution feedback (OpenMLE-Gym), operator learning (OpenMLE-RL), and long-horizon search (OpenMLE-Evo). On this stack we post-train Frontis-MA1 (35B) as a meta-evolution agent for MLE, aligning post-training and inference around four atomic program-evolution operators (Draft, Improve, Debug, Crossover): the same operators are trained via execution-grounded SFT and RL on data deduplicated against all evaluation benchmarks, then composed into long-horizon search, coupling learning and evolution in a single loop. On MLE-Bench Lite under a 12-hour per-task budget on one RTX 4090 capped at 12 GB VRAM, Frontis-MA1 (35B) improves Medal Average from 39.39% to 60.61% over

BlockPilot: Diffusion 기반 Speculative Decoding을 위한 인스턴스 적응형 정책 학습

Speculative decoding accelerates inference by using a lightweight draft model to generate candidate tokens in parallel, and are then verified by the target model, enabling lossless acceleration. Recently, diffusion-based speculative decoding further improves parallelism by generating multiple tokens per forward pass via block-level diffusion, achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance. However, existing methods adopt a fixed inference block size and assume a uniform optimal decoding strategy across all inputs. In this paper, we show that this assumption is suboptimal, as the optimal block size varies across samples and plays a critical role in speculative decoding performance. Moreover, these values exhibit a clear local structure, concentrating around the training block size, which reduces the problem to a low-dimensional and structured decision space. Based on these insights, we propose BlockPilot, a sample-adaptive policy that predicts the optimal block size from the prefilling r

SearchSwarm: 장기 딥리서치를 위한 에이전트형 LLM의 위임 지능

Large language models are increasingly expected to handle complex, long-horizon real-world tasks whose context demands can grow without bound, yet model context windows remain inherently finite. Recent work explores a paradigm where a main agent decomposes tasks and dispatches subtasks to subagents, which execute and return only summarized results, conserving the main agent's context budget. However, performing this well requires delegation intelligence: the ability to decompose complex tasks, determine when and what to delegate, and integrate returned results into the ongoing workflow. Training data for this capability is scarce in naturally occurring text, and to our knowledge, how to synthesize such data and train models to acquire this capability remains largely unexplored in the open-source community. To bridge this gap, we present a preliminary exploration targeting deep research, a representative long-horizon agent task. Specifically, we design a harness that guides the model to

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer parallel decoding and bidirectional context, but state-of-the-art dLLMs require billions of parameters for competitive performance. While existing distillation methods for dLLMs reduce inference steps within a single architecture, none address cross-architecture knowledge transfer, in which the teacher and student differ in architecture, attention mechanism, and tokenizer. We present TIDE, the first framework for cross-architecture dLLM distillation, comprising three modular components: (1) TIDAL, which jointly modulates distillation strength across training progress and diffusion timestep to account for the teacher's noise-dependent reliability; (2) CompDemo, which enriches the teacher's context via complementary mask splitting to improve predictions under heavy masking; and (3) Reverse CALM, a cross-tokenizer objective that inverts chunk-level likelihood matching, yielding bounded gradients and dual-end noise filtering.

비주얼 생성에서 텍스트 컨디셔닝의 스케일링 특성

We study empirical scaling properties for text conditioning in visual generation. Such properties have rarely been measured because diffusion loss does not scale with the number of tokens in natural-language prompts. Surprisingly, we find that the converged diffusion loss scales with the amount of structured language in the prompt. To quantify structured language, we adapt two complementary measures: a white-box likelihood metric (GPG) and a black-box attribute metric (ED). Across controlled training runs, the converged diffusion loss decreases approximately linearly with GPG and follows a power law with ED. Guided by these scaling properties, we improve diffusability by constructing structured prompts with semantic and geometric annotations derived from images, and improve promptability by training a prompter through supervised fine-tuning, cold-start, and verifier-gated on-policy distillation. The resulting system outperforms all evaluated open-weight models on nearly every compositi

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly advanced document understanding, yet current Doc-VQA evaluations score only the final answer and leave the supporting evidence unchecked. This answer-only approach masks a critical failure mode: a model can land on the correct answer while grounding it in the wrong passage -- a critical risk in high-stakes domains like law, finance, and medicine, where every conclusion must be traceable to a specific source region. To address this, we introduce CiteVQA, a benchmark that requires models to return element-level bounding-box citations alongside each answer, evaluating both jointly. CiteVQA comprises 1,897 questions across 711 PDFs spanning seven domains and two languages, averaging 40.6 pages per document. To ensure fidelity and scalability, the ground-truth citations are generated by an automated pipeline-which identifies crucial evidence via masking ablation-and are subsequently validated through expert review.
