LoopUS: Recasting Pretrained LLMs into Looped Latent Refinement Models
Looped computation shows promise in improving the reasoning-oriented performance of LLMs by scaling test-time compute. However, existing approaches typically require either training recurrent models from scratch or applying disruptive retrofits, which involve substantial computational costs and may compromise pretrained capabilities. To address these limitations, we introduce Looped Depth Up-Scaling (LoopUS), a post-training framework that converts a standard pretrained LLM into a looped architecture. As a key technical contribution, LoopUS recasts the pretrained LLM into an encoder, a looped reasoning block, and a decoder. It operationalizes this latent-refinement architecture through four core components: (1) block decomposition, guided by staged representation dynamics; (2) an input-dependent selective gate to mitigate hidden-state drift; (3) random deep supervision for memory-efficient learning over long recursive horizons; and (4) a confidence head for adaptive early exiting.

Micro-Defects Expose Macro-Fakes: Detecting AI-Generated Images via Local Distributional Shifts
Recent generative models can produce images that appear highly realistic, raising challenges in distinguishing real and AI-generated images. Yet existing detectors based on pre-trained feature extractors tend to over-rely on global semantics, limiting sensitivity to the critical micro-defects. In this work, we propose Micro-Defects expose Macro-Fakes (MDMF), a local distribution-aware detection framework that amplifies micro-scale statistical irregularities into macro-level distributional discrepancies. To avoid localized forensic cues being diluted by plain aggregation, we introduce a learnable Patch Forensic Signature that projects semantic patch embeddings into a compact forensic latent space. We then use Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) to quantify distributional discrepancies between generated and real images. Our theory-grounded analysis shows that patch-wise modeling yields provably larger discrepancies when localized forensic signals are present in generated images, enabling more

Micro Language Models Enable Instant Responses
Edge devices such as smartwatches and smart glasses cannot continuously run even the smallest 100M-1B parameter language models due to power and compute constraints, yet cloud inference introduces multi-second latencies that break the illusion of a responsive assistant. We introduce micro language models (μLMs): ultra-compact models (8M-30M parameters) that instantly generate the first 4-8 words of a contextually grounded response on-device, while a cloud model completes it; thus, masking the cloud latency. We show that useful language generation survives at this extreme scale with our models matching several 70M-256M-class existing models. We design a collaborative generation framework that reframes the cloud model as a continuator rather than a respondent, achieving seamless mid-sentence handoffs and structured graceful recovery via three error correction methods when the local opener goes wrong. Empirical results show that μLMs can initiate responses that larger models complete seam

FeatCal: Feature Calibration for Post-Merging Models
Model merging combines task experts into one model and avoids joint training, retraining, or deploying many expert models, but the merged model often still underperforms task experts. We study this performance gap through feature drift, the difference between features produced by the merged model and by the expert on the same input. Our theory decomposes this drift into upstream propagation and local mismatch, tracks how it propagates and combines through later layers in forward order, and links final feature drift to output drift. This view motivates FeatCal, which uses a small calibration set to calibrate the merged model weights layer by layer in forward order, reducing feature drift while staying close to merged weights and preserving the benefits of model merging. FeatCal uses an efficient closed-form solution to update model weights, with no gradient descent, iterative optimization, or extra modules. On the main CLIP and GLUE benchmarks, FeatCal beats Surgery and ProbSurgery, the

지각 교란과 보상 모델링으로 멀티모달 LLM 심사자의 지각 판단 편향 줄인다
Recent multimodal large language models have demonstrated strong reasoning ability, yet their reliability as automated evaluators remains limited by a critical weakness: when visual evidence conflicts with textual cues, MLLM judges tend to reward plausible narratives over perceptually correct answers. We identify and systematically analyze this phenomenon, which we term Perceptual Judgment Bias. Through controlled visual perturbations, existing multimodal judges frequently anchor on the response text instead of their own visual perception, leading to inconsistent and non-verifiable evaluations. To address this issue, we introduce the Perceptually Perturbed Judgment Dataset, which constructs minimally edited counterfactual responses that isolate perceptual errors and enable verifiable supervision. Building on this dataset, we develop a unified training framework that combines a structured GRPO-based reward with a batch-ranking objective, achieving coherent global ordering without explic

DEI: Quality-Diversity 탐색을 위한 진화 추론의 다양성
We present DEI: Diversity in Evolutionary Inference, a distributed Quality-Diversity (QD) search framework that assigns heterogeneous large language models (LLMs) as mutation operators across peer nodes communicating with non-blocking collective operations. Unlike homogeneous parallel search, which replicates a single model's inductive biases across all workers, DEI treats each LLM's distinct creative prior as a complementary source of behavioral novelty. Extending the Digital Red Queen framework with DEI, nodes share local optimal solutions at the end of each round to seed the next round's population. This creates cross-model adversarial pressure that drives robustness beyond intra-model self-play. Evaluated on the Core War domain, a competitive programming benchmark in which Redcode warrior programs battle inside a simulated machine, a four-node heterogeneous ensemble (GPT-5.4-mini, Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5.2, and Claude Haiku 4.5) achieves 124 percent higher merged-archive QD-Score

그래디언트가 충돌할 때: LLM 심사자를 위한 다중목표 프롬프트 최적화의 실패 유형
Customizing an LLM judge to a specific task or domain often involves optimizing its prompt across multiple evaluation criteria simultaneously. Textual gradient methods automate this for a single judge criterion, however they produce natural-language critiques, not numerical vectors. Thus, the conflict-resolution toolkit of multi-task learning (PCGrad, MGDA) doesn't apply to the multi-objective textual gradient setting. We test five decomposition modes of textual gradient optimizers by varying how much cross-task information the loss, gradient and optimizer LLMs share. In 6 of 10 configurations, we observe that optimization never improves over the initial prompt. Gradient specificity drops by 59% (from 9.0 to 3.7) when the gradient LLM processes multiple criteria jointly. Separately, we observe that naively combining per-task instructions into a single prompt degrades Spearman's rho by -5.3%. These results identify two separable failure modes: optimization-time gradient dilution and inf

Physics in 2-Steps: 시각적 정제를 앞선 모션 사전 고정이 이를 지워버리는 이유
Image-to-Video diffusion models leverage input images to generate visually stunning content, yet frequently produce motion that violates physical laws. We reveal a surprising finding: a 2-step generation often exhibits better physical consistency than a 50-step output from the same model. Through spectral analysis, we trace this to phase erosion during denoising; the phase degrades significantly (dropping by approx 18% from step 2 to step 50), whereas the magnitude remains relatively stable. Building on this insight, we propose PhaseLock, a training-free framework that preserves the valid motion priors from few-step inference throughout the denoising trajectory. Rather than relying on full-step inference for physical consistency, PhaseLock extracts a motion prior from just 2 steps and enforces it onto high-fidelity generation via Latent Delta Guidance. Our approach effectively mitigates phase degradation, improving physical consistency by an average of 6.2 points across diverse models

Optical Reasoning, 이미지를 텍스트 너머의 표현력 있는 추론 매체로 재해석
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) improves the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) and has been extended to Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). More recent work further moves from text-based multimodal reasoning toward interleaved-modal reasoning, where intermediate steps can incorporate both textual rationales and visual evidence. In this work, we propose a bolder and more ambitious idea: could images alone serve as the reasoning medium for both language and multimodal tasks? To explore this, we propose optical reasoning, which treats images as a standalone reasoning medium. We instantiate this concept with two variants: typographic-based optical reasoning, which optimizes visual layouts for compact rationale rendering, and graphical-based optical reasoning, which composes text and graphical elements into structured visual rationales. Across mathematical, scientific, and interleaved-modal reasoning benchmarks, optical reasoning can match or even exceed traditional text reasoning wh

에이전트 기반 교정과 의미 평가로 인간형 상호작용 음성인식 구현하기
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a core component of human--computer interaction and an increasingly important front-end for LLM-based assistants and agents. However, most current ASR systems still follow a single-pass paradigm, which is poorly aligned with human communication, where misunderstandings are resolved through iterative clarification and refinement. This mismatch makes it difficult to correct meaning-critical errors once they occur. Meanwhile, token-level metrics such as WER or CER cannot adequately reflect such a problem. To address these limitations, we formulate Interactive ASR as a multi-turn refinement task and propose Agentic ASR, a closed-loop framework that combines a single-pass ASR front-end with semantic correction, intent routing, and reasoning-based editing. We further introduce the Sentence-level Semantic Error Rate (S^2ER), an LLM-based semantic evaluation metric, together with an Interactive Simulation System for scalable and reproducible benchmarking.

SceneAligner, 실제 환경에서의 3D 기반 평면도 위치 추정
Many public buildings provide floorplans with a "you are here" indicator to help visitors orient themselves. Floorplan localization seeks to computationally replicate this capability by determining where visual observations were captured within a floorplan. However, existing methods typically assume controlled small-scale environments and precise vectorized floorplans, limiting their ability to operate in large-scale buildings and rasterized floorplans. In this work, we present an approach for performing floorplan localization in the wild by grounding the task in a reconstructed 3D representation of the scene. Given an unconstrained image collection, our method reconstructs a gravity-aligned 3D scene and projects it into a 2D density map that serves as a floorplan proxy. Floorplan localization is then formulated as aligning this proxy with the input floorplan via a 2D similarity transform. To bridge the appearance gap between density maps and architectural floorplans, we adapt a 2D fou

루브릭 기반 강화학습의 보상 해킹 재현·분석·탐지
Rubric-based reinforcement learning (RL) uses an LLM-as-a-Judge (LaaJ) to score model outputs according to rubrics as rewards. However, policy models may exploit latent biases in the judge, leading to reward hacking and ineffective or unsafe training outcomes. In real-world rubric-based RL, such hacking behaviors are often subtle and entangled with multiple judge biases, making them difficult to analyze, detect, and mitigate. In this paper, we introduce CHERRL, a controllable hacking environment for rubric-based RL. By injecting known biases into LaaJ, CHERRL enables stable reproduction of reward hacking, explicit observation of reward divergence, and precise identification of hacking onset. This provides a clean experimental testbed for studying the mechanisms and mitigations of reward hacking in rubric-based RL. To demonstrate its utility, we analyze different judge biases from the perspectives of discoverability and exploitability, and explore an agent-based system for automatically

PaintBench: 정밀 비주얼 편집의 결정론적 평가
While current multimodal models are proficient at open-ended visual editing, executing precise single-answer edits remains an important obstacle. To probe this challenge, we introduce PaintBench, a dynamically scalable benchmark targeting 20 fundamental precise visual editing operations across four categories: geometric transformation, structural manipulation, color change, and symbolic reasoning. Procedural generation with configurable complexity enables an effectively infinite, contamination-resistant evaluation suite, and deterministic pixel-level evaluation eliminates reliance on bias-prone judge models. Across 11 image editing models, we find overall low performance, with the current highest-performing industry leader scoring only 17.1% (mIoU). Task decomposition reveals especially challenging operation types (geometric transformation, most structural manipulation, formula-based color change) and model-specific specializations.

AgensFlow: 멀티 에이전트 시스템을 위한 조정 정책 서브스트레이트
Multi-agent systems built on large language models (LLMs) require many coordination choices that are difficult to fix a priori: which skill protocol to invoke, which agent role should perform a subtask, which model to bind to each role, how roles should interact, when to use retrieval or verification, and when to omit a step entirely. These choices interact with task regime and operational constraints, so static pipelines and one-off model comparisons provide only a limited view of the design space. This paper introduces AgensFlow, an open-source framework that treats multi-agent coordination as an online policy-learning problem under partial observability. The framework makes coordination decisions observable and learnable from repeated trajectories, rather than treating skill, role, model, topology, and evaluation choices as fixed pipeline design.
AgensFlow is evaluated on two corpora: distributed-systems incident tasks and security-advisory tasks. The evaluation shows three main r

산업용 비전 Sim-to-Real의 사전정보 활용성 리뷰: CAD 활용·비활용 환경 분석
Industrial visual sim-to-real is often described as transferring from synthetic images to real images, but industrial deployment usually involves a broader mismatch between available evidence and required decisions. A system may be built from CAD renderings, simulated RGB-D observations, normal reference images, synthetic defects, pretrained feature spaces, or language prompts, yet deployed under different sensors, lighting, materials, fixtures, calibration, production variation, and rare defect modes. This review reframes industrial visual sim-to-real as a domain-gap problem organized by prior availability. We distinguish CAD-available settings, where explicit object geometry can support rendering, calibration, pose estimation, segmentation, and test-time geometric verification; CAD-unavailable settings, where geometry is replaced by normal-reference appearance, feature distributions, teacher-student residuals, synthetic anomaly assumptions, foundation features, or vision-language pri

대규모 멀티모달 모델의 창의적 물리 지능 고도화
Large multimodal models (LMMs) have rapidly advanced in perception and reasoning; however, it remains unclear whether these capabilities generalize to discovering visually grounded solutions in open-ended environments, beyond pattern recognition. In such settings, intelligence requires more than answering well-posed questions: it involves identifying how elements in a scene can be repurposed in non-obvious yet physically feasible ways. This form of creative problem-solving is central to human intelligence, but remains largely untested in current benchmarks. To evaluate this ability, we introduce MM-CreativityBench, a benchmark for affordance-grounded creative tool use in visually rich, physically constrained environments. Each instance presents a scenario image with structured views of candidate entities and their parts, enabling fine-grained, interactive evaluation of how models iteratively inspect the scene, identify relevant affordances, and compose visually and physically grounded

데이터 시점성이 대규모 언어 모델 사전학습에 미치는 영향 이해하기
Large language models (LLMs) are typically trained on shuffled corpora, yielding models whose knowledge is frozen at train time and whose temporal grounding remains poorly understood. In this work, we study the impact of pre-training dynamics on the acquisition of time-sensitive factual knowledge, focusing specifically on data ordering. Our main contributions are twofold. First, we introduce a comprehensive benchmark of over 7,000 temporally grounded questions and an evaluation protocol that enables analysis of whether models correctly associate facts with their corresponding time periods. Second, we pretrain 6B-parameter models on temporally ordered Common Crawl snapshots and compare them against standard shuffled pre-training. Our results show that sequentially trained models match shuffled baselines on general language understanding and common knowledge while consistently exhibiting more up-to-date and temporally precise knowledge. Temporally ordered pre-training yields improved fac

Bounded Agents: 멀티에이전트 AI 시스템을 위한 위임 보안
LLM-based agents can act on behalf of a user to access cloud services, call tools, or invoke agents. At session start, the agent's permissions are set but remain static, and each request is evaluated independently, without considering prior actions. Within its permissions, an agent may act contrary to the delegated task, combine individually permitted actions into a prohibited outcome, or delegate authority to a sub-agent without limiting it. A prompt injection poses a risk only if the agent has authority to perform such actions; this is therefore a problem of authorization architecture, not just the model. The Agentic Principal Chain (APC) tracks delegated authority from one principal to the next. APC evaluates each request against the accumulated session state using six authorization checks. APC carries forward and restricts delegated scope and budgets. Using composition closure, APC checks requests against prior actions to prevent prohibited combinations and enforces the decision ou

Co-RL: 멀티에이전트 RL에서 다양한 코호트로 비지도 추론 능력 발현
Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful approach for improving reasoning in language and vision-language models, yet its strongest successes still depend heavily on ground-truth supervision (e.g., verifiable reward). Such annotations are costly to obtain and become increasingly scarce as reasoning capabilities advance beyond what humans can reliably evaluate. Self-rewarding RL reduces this dependence by enabling models to derive reward signals from their own completions. However, training solely on self-generated feedback can reinforce existing biases and suboptimal behaviors, reduce response diversity, and ultimately lead to homogenized responses and training collapse. In this work, we show that unsupervised reasoning can emerge through cooperative multi-agent training. We introduce Co-RL, a framework in which multiple decoupled models, sharing no parameters, are simultaneously optimized through RL using rewards derived from their peers. We further show that increasing c

KronQ: Kronecker-Factored Hessian 기반 LLM 양자화
Post-training quantization (PTQ) is a widely adopted technique for compressing large language models (LLMs) without retraining. Existing second-order PTQ methods, including GPTQ, construct quantization objectives exclusively from input activation statistics, effectively assuming that all output channels contribute equally to the layer-wise reconstruction objective. We propose KronQ, a PTQ framework that challenges this assumption by introducing the gradient covariance into the quantization pipeline. Under the Kronecker-factored Hessian approximation, the quantization loss depends jointly on both the activation and gradient covariances, and KronQ exploits this at two complementary levels. (1) KronQ introduces bidirectional incoherence processing, extending the existing input-side random rotation to the output dimension using the gradient covariance, reducing weight magnitude variance across both input and output dimensions. (2) KronQ derives a new sensitivity metric for inter-layer mixe

Evoflux: 컴팩트 에이전트를 위한 실행 가능한 도구 워크플로의 추론 시점 진화
Compact language models (LMs) reduce cost, latency, and deployment risk for tool agents. Yet MCP-style tool use requires more than isolated function calling: an agent must discover tools from live catalogs, satisfy schemas, preserve dependencies across intermediate outputs, and ground final responses in executed evidence. Small planners often generate plausible workflow graphs that fail under tool resolution, parameter validation, dependency tracking, or execution. We argue that this failure mode is poorly handled by small-corpus distillation. A few hundred teacher traces can teach workflow format, but rarely cover the recovery behavior needed to repair failed plans over changing tool catalogs. We introduce Evoflux, an inference-time evolutionary search method that treats compact tool use as the repair of executable tool workflows. It evolves typed workflow graphs through structured edits, execution feedback, adaptive intensity, meta-guided redesign, and diversity pruning. On held-out

Neural Spectral Capacity: 네트워크 명세만으로 아키텍처 측정·설계하기
Modern Transformer design and compression both reduce to allocating capacity under a budget. The standard scalars for these decisions, #Params and #FLOPs, capture size and compute but not architectural structure: two architectures with identical parameter budgets but different depth-width, head, or FFN allocations receive identical scores yet behave differently. We propose Neural Spectral Capacity (NSC), a closed-form scalar grounded in the singular-value spectrum of each weight matrix. Under standard random initialization, the Marchenko-Pastur law renders NSC computable from the architectural specification alone, with no model instantiation, data, or gradients. Its layer-wise additive structure admits NSC-DP, an exact dynamic-programming solver returning the architecture globally maximizing NSC under resource constraints in seconds on a CPU -- a guarantee that black-box search over existing training-free proxies cannot provide. Empirically, NSC outperforms #Params, #FLOPs, and represe

PsychoSafe: 대형 언어 모델에서 심리학 기반 거절 응답 유도
Large language models (LLMs) routinely face requests that should be refused, creating a trade-off between helpfulness and harm prevention. However, refusals themselves can be helpful. In high-risk interactions involving crisis, coercion, or escalating intent, blunt non-compliance may prevent direct harm while still failing to support the needs of the person behind the request. We present PsychoSafe, a psychologically-informed refusal framework that reframes refusal as structured supportive communication grounded in evidence-based intervention strategies. To develop PsychoSafe, we construct a corpus of 8019 prompt-response pairs spanning five psychologically salient risk domains and apply prompting and parameter-efficient fine-tuning to Qwen 3.5 27B. On a balanced validation set of 500 prompts, evaluated with an LLM judge and validated through human ratings, PsychoSafe prompting improves overall refusal quality by 28.1% over a generic baseline, with particularly strong gains in external

Mesh에서 삼각분할 독립적 Flow Matching을 위한 Matérn Noise
This paper tackles the task of learning to generate signals over triangle meshes in a triangulation-agnostic manner, meaning the trained model can be applied to different meshes and triangulations effectively. Practically, the paper adapts the flow matching (FM) paradigm to a mesh-based, triangulation-agnostic setting. Theoretically, it proposes a specific noise distribution which is triangulation agnostic, to be used inside the FM model's denoising process. While noise distributions are usually trivial to devise for, e.g., images, devising a triangulation-agnostic distribution proves to be a much more difficult task. We formulate a mathematical definition of triangulation agnosticism of distributions, via their spectrum. We then show that a discretization of a specific Gaussian random field called a Matérn process holds these desired properties, and provides a simple and efficient sampling algorithm. We use it as our noise model, and adapt FM to the triangulation-agnostic setting by u

Omni-DuplexEval: 실시간 양방향 옴니모달 상호작용 평가
Real-time duplex interaction is essential for multimodal AI systems operating in real-world scenarios, where models must continuously process streaming inputs and respond at appropriate moments. However, most existing multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are evaluated in offline settings, where the entire video input is processed before any response is generated. While recent work has started to explore real-time duplex MLLMs, there is still no comprehensive benchmark or automatic evaluation method for this setting. To address this gap, we propose Omni-DuplexEval, a benchmark for systematically evaluating real-time duplex interaction. The benchmark consists of two complementary scenarios: (1) Real-Time Description, which evaluates the ability to generate continuous, time-aligned responses that track evolving multimodal inputs, and (2) Proactive Reminder, which evaluates the ability to identify salient events and respond at appropriate moments.

에이전트형 검색을 위한 상호작용 공간 검색으로
Retrieval for search agents is still inherited from non-agentic information retrieval: a retriever ranks the corpus and the agent reads a small set of returned documents. Recent direct corpus interaction (DCI) work shows that agents can instead interact with the raw corpus through shell tools such as grep and file reads. But unbounded interaction does not scale: every broad shell command is a scan over the whole corpus, and latency degrades sharply as the corpus grows. We argue that the role of retrieval for agentic search is not just to select documents that fit in the LLM context window, but to construct an interaction space: a bounded subset of the corpus the agent can explore with associated tools. Two design consequences follow. The space needs a boundary supplied by retrieval, and the objects within it should be processed for interaction. As a proof of concept, we propose RISE (Retrieving Interaction SpacE): we use BM25 to construct the interaction space; meanwhile, its documents

CORE: 대조적 성찰로 추론 성능을 빠르게 끌어올리다
Language models can use verifiable rewards to improve at a wide variety of reasoning tasks. However, both parametric (e.g. RLVR) and non-parametric (e.g. prompt optimization) approaches to doing so typically require hundreds of training samples and thousands of model rollouts, making them expensive in the best case and intractable in the worst. To address this challenge, we introduce Contrastive Reflection (CORE), a non-parametric learning algorithm that compares past reasoning traces to generate insights: short natural-language descriptions of reasoning strategies and constraints that capture differences between successful and unsuccessful problem attempts. Across four reasoning tasks, we demonstrate that CORE enables more rapid improvement than both parametric (GRPO) and non-parametric (GEPA, episodic RAG, and MemRL) methods, while using fewer rollouts. Under fixed rollout budgets with as few as five training samples, we then show that CORE also achieves comparable or greater perform

CompactAttention: 블록 유니온 KV 선택으로 청크드 프리필 가속
Chunked prefill has become a widely adopted serving strategy for long-context large language models, but efficient attention computation in this regime remains challenging. Existing sparse attention methods are primarily designed for one-shot prefill and do not translate efficiently to chunked prefill: block-sparse kernels lose efficiency when the query length is limited by the chunk size, while fine-grained pattern search becomes costly when repeated over the accumulated KV cache at every chunk. QUOKA, a recent method that directly targets chunked prefill, avoids sparse-kernel overhead but relies on query-subsampled, token-level KV selection, which can miss query-specific KV entries and introduce explicit KV-copy overhead. To address these limitations, we propose CompactAttention, a chunked-prefill attention mechanism based on Block-Union KV Selection. CompactAttention treats 2D block-sparse masks as KV-selection signals rather than direct sparse-kernel execution plans, and converts t

A2RBench: 형식 검증 가능한 추상 추론 벤치마크 자동 생성 프레임워크
Abstract reasoning ability reflects the intelligence and generalization capacity of LLMs to extract and apply abstract rules. However, accurately measuring this ability remains challenging: existing benchmarks either rely on expensive manual annotation, limiting their scale, or risk measuring memorization rather than genuine reasoning. To address this, we introduce an automated pipeline named A2RBench, encompassing generation, expansion, evaluation, and analysis. Specifically, in the generation stage, LLMs create diverse tasks demanding genuine reasoning; in the expansion stage, LLMs reuse validated rules and expand new input spaces to generate task variations, achieving scaling. However, such a process may cause hallucinations. To eliminate it, we further establish a theoretical framework and prove that programmatic verification--testing whether the inverse operation perfectly reverses the forward operation (cycle consistency)--guarantees a unique solution.
