Seeing Before Reasoning: Decoupling Perception and Reasoning for Shortcut-Resilient Multimodal On-Policy Self-Distillation [5]
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) trains a model on its own rollouts and uses a frozen copy to provide dense token-level targets conditioned on a reference target. This works…

Bag of Dims: Training-Free Mechanistic Interpretability via Dimension-Level Sign Patterns [8]
We show the standard basis of transformer hidden states already provides a training-free, architecture-general feature basis. Individual dimensions encode semantic content via…

Verified Detection and Prevention of Concurrency Anomalies in Multi-Agent Large Language Model Systems [19]
Multi-agent LLM systems share state through memory stores, vector indices, and tool registries. We model such sharing as long-running read-generate-write operations under…
HuggingFace Papers
STARE: Surprisal-Guided Token-Level Advantage Reweighting for Policy Entropy Stability [14]
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards algorithms like GRPO have emerged as the dominant post-training paradigm for complex reasoning in LLMs, yet commonly suffer from…

From Trainee to Trainer: LLM-Designed Training Environment for RL with Multi-Agent Reasoning [16]
Reinforcement learning pipelines for Large Language Model (LLM) training often rely on manually redesigned environments between stages, requiring practitioners to heuristically…
▲ 11HuggingFace Papers
EfficientRollout: System-Aware Self-Speculative Decoding for RL Rollouts [17]
Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a representative post-training paradigm for LLMs, enabling strong reasoning and agentic capabilities. However, rollout generation remains a…

MyPCBench: A Benchmark for Personally Intelligent Computer-Use Agents [10]
Current benchmarks for computer-use agents evaluate models in impersonal environments. This leaves a gap between evaluation and deployment where personal assistants are expected…
▲ 2HuggingFace Papers
MolmoMotion: Forecasting Point Trajectories in 3D with Language Instruction [6]
Motion forecasting is central to visual intelligence: agents must anticipate how objects will move in order to plan actions, reason about physical interactions, and synthesize…
▲ 7HuggingFace Papers
RODS: Reward-Driven Online Data Synthesis for Multi-Turn Tool-Use Agents [11]
Multi-turn tool-use RL is bottlenecked by the rapid depletion of informative samples in static datasets. We observe that the gradient signal in GRPO concentrates on tasks with the…

iOSWorld: A Benchmark for Personally Intelligent Phone Agents [9]
A useful phone agent needs to be personally intelligent. It should reason over a user's identity, history, and preferences as they exist on the device, not just follow isolated…

Morpheus: A Morphology-Aware Neural Tokenizer and Word Embedder for Turkish [15]
Turkish is agglutinative: meaning is carried by morphemes, yet the subword tokenizers that drive modern language models split words by corpus statistics, fragmenting semantically…

A Benchmark and Framework for Evaluating Next Action Predictions in Spreadsheets [12]
Predictive code completion greatly accelerates how quickly developers work. In spreadsheets, despite being much more common, such auto-completion features are virtually…
HuggingFace Papers
Beyond Alignment: Value Diversity as a Collective Property in Multicultural Agent Systems [18]
Multicultural multi-agent systems are increasingly deployed in globally diverse settings, where different agents are grounded in different cultural backgrounds. Existing cultural…
