Negligible in Size, Significant in Effect: On Scale Vectors in Large Language Models

This work presents a systematic study of scale vectors in LLMs from the perspectives of expressivity, optimization, and architectural structure, and proposes three lightweight and complementary improvements to scale vectors: branch-specific heterogeneity, improved placement around linear mappings, and magnitude-direction reparameterization.

More Expressive Feedforward Layers: Part I. Token-Adaptive Mixing of Activations

This work proposes Mixture of Activations (MoA), a token-adaptive FFN design that mixes a dictionary of activation functions using lightweight input-dependent gates while sharing the same linear projections, suggesting that token-adaptive activation mixing is a simple and effective mechanism for improving FFN expressivity in LLMs.

SkillSafetyBench: Evaluating Agent Safety under Skill-Facing Attack Surfaces

This work presents SkillSafetyBench, a runnable benchmark for evaluating skill-facing safety failures, and suggests that agent safety depends not only on model-level alignment, but also on how agents interpret skills, trust workflow context, and act through executable environments.

ABC: Any-Subset Autoregression via Non-Markovian Diffusion Bridges in Continuous Time and Space

This work proposes ABC: Any-Subset Autoregressive Models via Non-Markovian Diffusion Bridges in Continuous Time and Space, and derives SDE dynamics via changes-of-measure on path space, yielding another advantage: path-dependent conditioning on arbitrary subsets of the state history and/or future.

G-Loss: Graph-Guided Fine-Tuning of Language Models

G-Loss is presented, a graph-guided loss function that incorporates semi-supervised label propagation to use structural relationships within the embedding manifold to build a document-similarity graph that captures global semantic relationships.

Beyond Output Correctness: Benchmarking and Evaluating Large Language Model Reasoning in Coding Tasks

This work introduces CodeRQ-Bench, the first benchmark for evaluating LLM reasoning quality across three coding task categories: generation, summarization, and classification, and proposes VERA, a two-stage evaluator that combines evidence-grounded verification with ambiguity-aware score correction.

PolicyLong: Towards On-Policy Context Extension

PolicyLong is proposed, shifting data construction towards a dynamic on-policy paradigm, by iteratively re-executing data screening (entropy computation, retrieval, and verification) using the current model, which ensures the training distribution tracks evolving capabilities, yielding an emergent self-curriculum.

Camera-Agnostic Pruning of 3D Gaussian Splats via Descriptor-Based Beta Evidence

This paper proposes a camera-agnostic, one-shot, post-training pruning method for 3D Gaussian splats that relies solely on attribute-derived neighbourhood descriptors, and introduces a hybrid descriptor framework that captures structural and appearance consistency directly from the splat representation.

Var-JEPA: A Variational Formulation of the Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture - Bridging Predictive and Generative Self-Supervised Learning

The Variational JEPA (Var-JEPA), which makes the latent generative structure explicit by optimizing a single Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) and yields meaningful representations without ad-hoc anti-collapse regularizers and allows principled uncertainty quantification in the latent space.

The Autonomy Tax: Defense Training Breaks LLM Agents

These findings demonstrate that current defense paradigms optimize for single-turn refusal benchmarks while rendering multi-step agents fundamentally unreliable, necessitating new approaches that preserve tool execution competence under adversarial conditions.

InfoMamba: An Attention-Free Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model

A consistency boundary analysis is presented that characterizes when diagonal short-memory SSMs can approximate causal attention and identifies structural gaps that remain and proposes InfoMamba, an attention-free hybrid architecture that consistently outperforms strong Transformer and SSM baselines.

Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows

Adaptive AI agents can help make BIM data more machine-readable by navigating IFC models, interpreting inconsistent information, and mapping it to defined standards. In this blog, Alok Rawat shares findings from a real-world pilot in construction workflows. The post Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows appeared first on GPT-Lab.
