Compositional Unalignment: Auditing Safety in Large Vision-Language Models

CMaG is proposed, a training-free un-alignment method for compositional safety that measures refusal intention with a refusal-versus-compliance log-probability margin, takes its gradient with respect to mid-layer activations, and contrasts it against partially benign pairs to isolate the cross-modal interaction term.

SeVerus: Context-Aware, Gamified Benchmarking for Rust Verification

Coding agents achieve high success rates on existing benchmarks for Verus, a verifier for Rust programs. These benchmarks typically provide the auxiliary lemmas needed to complete a proof. In practice, however, such lemmas must be discovered and proved. To capture this challenge, we present SEVERUS, a context-aware tec...

Multi-step SWE: Can Coding Agents Keep Building on Their Own Code Over Long Horizons?

Developers rarely give a coding agent a single request: they ask it to build a component and then to extend, upgrade, and optimize it, each time on code the agent itself wrote. Most benchmarks, however, score one task at a time. We introduce Multi-step SWE, a long-horizon benchmark of 69 software engineering tasks, eac...

Depth or Description? When a One-Step Latent Score Replaces Lookahead in Proactive Information Acquisition

A proactive agent must decide what to ask before it acts. Exact lookahead values combinations of questions but is expensive and leans on a fitted model; a one-step score is cheap but can miss them. Our main finding: the need for depth often lies in how the hidden cause is described. A one-step score on the label can be...

More Agents, More Reliable? System-Level Reliability of Multi-Agent LLMs under Operational-Profile Uncertainty

Teams increasingly build software from cooperating large language model (LLM) agents, often assuming more agents mean more reliability. Yet the usual evidence, average benchmark accuracy, ignores the input mix a deployed system meets and the rule merging the agents' answers. Building on HIP-LLM, a hierarchical imprecis...

A Night at the LLM Zoo: Data Conditioned Flow Matching for Generating Pretrained LLM Weights

A challenge to Weight Space Learning as it expands from task specific and vision models to Large Language Models (LLMs) is the absence of a well curated and analyzed LLM population. To address this, we train such a model zoo for application to Weight Space Generation by systematically varying the data mixture compositi...

Polynomial-Time Computation of Extensive-Form Proper Equilibria in Two-Player Zero-Sum Games

We give a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for computing an exact extensive-form proper equilibrium in a finite two-player zero-sum extensive-form game with perfect recall and rational data. Properness is understood in the agent normal form: an action at an information set is penalized relative to a better actio...

Shaping & Monitoring Models through their Internal Representations

We propose Mechanistic Shaping, a unified framework for shaping models through their internal representations. Mechanistic Shaping is applied during training so that models follow specifications (rules) about which concepts they express, measured via their outputs or internal representations (e.g., no harmful content),...

SD-LoRA: Training-Time Structural Distillation into LoRA for Few-Shot Vision-Language Adaptation

Few-shot adaptation of vision-language models must balance two competing goals: learning fine-grained visual distinctions from very limited supervision and preserving the efficiency that makes frozen CLIP-like models attractive for deployment. Existing lightweight adaptation methods, including prompt tuning, LoRA, and...

Segment What It Can Draw: Querying a Text-to-Image Generator with Its Own Images for Skin Lesion Segmentation

Skin lesion segmentation without annotated masks requires the target to be specified through other cues. Existing approaches rely on dermoscopy-specific rules, annotation-derived model priors, or user-selected regions. A general text-to-image diffusion transformer offers a text interface to the target, but its concept-...
