Linear attention has recently gained significant attention for long-context inference due to its constant decoding cost with respect to context length. However, existing serving systems typically serve linear attention by recurrently computing and updating a large linear attention state in every decoding step. Since th...
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies translate language and visual inputs into robot actions, where their hidden representations directly shape closed-loop behavior. However, mechanistic interpretability tools from language and vision-language models do not transfer cleanly to VLAs: outputs are robot actions rather th...

We present PanoWorld, a panoramic video world model that generates geometry-consistent 360$\degree$ video from a single image and a caption. Existing panoramic video methods optimize primarily for visual realism and do not explicitly constrain the underlying 3D scene state, producing outputs that appear plausible yet e...

Web-enabled LLM agents are changing how online information influences search outcomes. Existing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) studies mainly focus on individual webpages. However, agentic web search is not a single-document setting: an agent may issue queries, crawl pages, follow links, reformulate searches, and...

Fine-tuning large language models on narrow data with harmful content produces broadly misaligned behavior on unrelated prompts, a phenomenon known as emergent misalignment. We propose that emergent misalignment involves persona-model collapse: a deterioration of the internal representations that encode and distinguish...

Diffusion and flow-based models have become the de facto approaches for generating continuous data, e.g., in domains such as images and videos. Their success has attracted growing interest in applying them to language modeling. Unlike their image-domain counterparts, today's leading diffusion language models (DLMs) pri...
\emph{Kullback-Leibler} (KL) regularization is ubiquitous in reinforcement learning algorithms in the form of \emph{reverse} or \emph{forward} KL. Recent studies have demonstrated $\epsilon^{-1}$-type fast rates for decision making under reverse KL regularization, in contrast to the standard $\epsilon^{-2}$-type sample...

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) reparameterizes a weight matrix $W$ as a product of two low-rank factors, but the Jacobian $J_G$ of the generator mapping the factors to the weight matrix is rank-deficient, so the factor-space preconditioner $J_G^* F_t J_G$ induced by any $W$-space preconditioner $F_t$ is singular, and conse...
Large language models can reason over biological knowledge, but they are not naturally equipped to work with quantitative omics measurements. Existing approaches either convert expression profiles into long textual representations, often losing quantitative information, or connect omics encoders to language models for...

UniSD integrates complementary mechanisms that address supervision reliability, representation alignment, and training stability, including multi-teacher agreement, EMA teacher stabilization, token-level contrastive learning, feature matching, and divergence clipping, and reveals when self-distillation improves over st...

Most discrete visual tokenizers rely on a default design: every position in the sequence shares the same codebook. Such a constant-codebook design can consume the finite-data entropy budget very quickly. We observe that the per-position empirical conditional entropy decays so quickly along the sequence that, after a fe...

RL-based controllers achieve strong average-case performance in networking tasks such as congestion control and adaptive bitrate streaming. Yet their performance can degrade severely under network conditions where strong performance is still achievable. Identifying such conditions and quantifying the resulting performa...
