ReasonUni: Reasoning-Augmented Reconstruction Advances Unified Multimodal Models

Image-to-text (I2T) understanding and text-to-image (T2I) generation are dual tasks in unified multimodal models (UMMs). Reconstructive post-training couples these tasks, but existing reconstruction-based methods remain perception-centric and provide limited supervision for reasoning about structure, intent, and transf...

Learning from Runtime Feedback through Failure-Bank Self-Evolution for Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-language-action (VLA) models generalize broadly across robotic manipulation tasks, but complex environments require balancing task success with unintended contact. Runtime shields can correct individual actions, but they leave the underlying policy unchanged, so repeated disagreements may create a persistent pol...

CheatBench: Measuring Reward Gaming in AI Agents

Reinforcement learning has helped AI agents solve increasingly difficult tasks, but high rewards do not always reflect the work users intended. In recent incidents and controlled evaluations across the AI industry, agents trained to maximize reward have accessed unauthorized information, attempted to evade monitoring s...

Reward Hacking Challenges Oversight of Autonomous Research Agents

How often models reward-hack without instructions to do so, how effective and detectable their methods are when hacking is allowed, and how they adapt when an LLM review panel returns its decision and reasons are studied.

Forgotten in Weights, Recovered by Tools: Agentic Tool Unlearning for LLM Agents

Experiments on RWKU and MUSE across different LLM architectures show that ATU achieves a better balance between target forgetting and retained utility, making unlearning more robust under tool-augmented agent deployment.

Straight-Path Flow Matching for Incomplete Multi-View Clustering

This work introduces a flow-matching framework with a linear interpolation path between paired view representations, that replaces diffusion with probability flows between observed and missing views, and provides a formal analysis showing that deterministic ODE flows are inherently better aligned with clustering object...

ManGo: Manga Active Narrative Grounding Optimization

ManGo (Manga Active Narrative Grounding Optimization), an unsupervised framework for active manga visual question answering, introduces Active Narrative Sketching (ANS), which iteratively selects panels, extracts concise grounded clues, and decides when to stop, forming a compact question-directed evidence sketch befor...

Knowledge-Verified Emergent Deception in LLM Agents Under Conflicting Incentives

A knowledge-verified benchmark that first confirms through a neutral probe that an agent knows a user's entitlement, and then evaluates whether it makes false claims once an incentive to deny that entitlement is introduced, which reduces the confound between lying and not knowing and enables more rigorous auditing and...

UniWorld-Design: From Pixel Generation to Layer-Native Design

We introduce UniWorld-Design, a framework that redefines image generation from flat pixel synthesis to structured visual composition, with semantic RGBA layers as the atomic units of generation, understanding, and editing. Our key insight is that pixels define how an image is rendered, whereas layers define how an imag...

Steering Multimodal Large Language Models Decoding for Context-Aware Safety

Safety-aware Contrastive Decoding (SafeCoDe) is introduced, a lightweight and model-agnostic decoding framework that dynamically adjusts token generation based on multimodal context that consistently improves context-sensitive refusal behaviors while preserving model helpfulness.
