Discrete diffusion models with parallel decoding are often distilled using token-wise KL objectives. Although token-wise KL exactly matches the corresponding product-form block distributions, its probability-space optimization geometry and teacher-only candidate truncation may provide insufficient supervision under agg...

Harness evolution from a common base exhibits Locality, Complementarity, and Nonstationarity: variants repair different failures, and their utility changes as the policy learns. Rather than seeking a universally superior harness, we introduce Harness-S to selectively rescue failures of a base execution system through s...

External text can affect a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system only after the retriever admits it to the model context. We stress this admission step while varying document content, attacker query information, per-target poison budget, and contamination scope. Across 623 Benchmarking Information Retrieval (BEIR...

Inoculation prompting is a method to reduce undesired behaviours such as reward hacking in frontier models. It works by training a model on harmful examples under a prompt that specifies the undesired behaviour, which reduces the model's tendency to exhibit it unless prompted. However, the inoculation prompt is written...

Video games provide a practical setting for collecting vision-language-action (VLA) data, whose acquisition in physical environments is costly. Existing datasets, however, remain limited by restricted game coverage, sparse language supervision, or temporal hierarchies that do not necessarily reflect changes in task obj...

We present an exact computational proof that the frozen QPLIB_2096 instance has global minimum 7,025,720. The solution and certification approach was explored and refined through ZiYor, a self-evolving AI system. The authors provide the mathematical account and exact validation reported here. The original formulation h...
DualWorldBench is introduced, a unified benchmark for evaluating agent planning under controlled symbolic--temporal and grounded--topological complexity and is established as a challenging testbed for agents with tighter perception--reasoning--planning integration.
Conventional recommender systems operate within platform-specific catalogs, limiting access to potentially valuable resources across platforms. We propose user-centered agentic recommendation, a paradigm in which user agents compare recommendations from competing platform agents, and formalize their interaction as a re...

Frontier LLM agents can turn known vulnerabilities into working exploits, but are costly and often access-restricted due to their potential for malicious use. Open-weight models offer a more accessible alternative, but struggle to maintain progress across long exploitation chains. They also often fail to apply relevant...

Mainstream sequence-processing AI is temporally reactive: each update is driven by input and learned state transitions, rather than by an independently evolving internal temporal reference. Biological brains, by contrast, continuously generate rhythmic activity that structures perception, memory, and cognition, and thi...

EvoML is presented, an agentic framework for end-to-end ML pipeline synthesis built on expert-grounded skills that evolve across runs, executed through a validation-gated harness and achieves full automation and the best final model quality on all eight datasets.

An AI inventory is a structured, often public record in which a government or organization lists and describes the AI systems it uses or plans to use. Studies of single AI inventory releases describe what systems do but say little about how they are governed over time. We linked entries across three releases of the US...
