RCCM: Diagnosing Gains and Harms in Reasoning-Prompt Transfer

A reasoning prompt can improve one deployment and degrade another. RCCM (Reasoning-Control Capability Mismatch) examines these reversals by pairing answers to the same questions with records of how generation ends. Across five open-weight deployments and nine strategies, aggregate accuracy hides substantial question-le...

Rationale Distribution Distillation via Flow Matching for Distributional Continuous Latent Reasoning

Sampling multiple chain-of-thought rationales from a language model can uncover correct solutions missed by a single attempt. However, these rationales are typically lengthy, making repeated autoregressive generation costly. Continuous latent reasoning offers a compact alternative, but point-valued methods condition re...

OpenTWBench (Open Taiwan Benchmark): Taiwan-Domain Knowledge Evaluation for Large Language Models, and How the Measurement Apparatus Shapes the Score

We present OpenTWBench, an open evaluation suite for Taiwan-domain knowledge in large language models, built around two benchmarks. tw-exam-bench contains 255,854 four-option questions across 148 academic subjects, from fifteen years of Taiwan's national examinations published as open data by the Ministry of Examinatio...

EGCForest: Structured Agent Memory Organization for Enterprise Group Chats

Enterprise group chats record project progress, decisions, task ownership, and other organizational information valuable to enterprise agents. Reliable retrieval is challenging because evidence spans interleaved threads, channels, and time, with meaning and authority conditioned on the speaker. Neither RAG's independen...

Model vs. User: Whose Values Prevail? Inference-Time Value Alignment in Multi-Turn Conversations

Human values shape how we expect language models to behave. Dominant alignment approaches treat values as global objectives, although the appropriate value orientation is personal and contextual. Training-free alignment can steer models toward target values at inference time, yet has been largely evaluated in single-tu...

Delta Tokenizer: Reference-Identical Tokenization of Session Deltas and Segment-Parallelism for Long Prompts on Multicore CPUs

An agent that drives an LLM sends the model the same conversation again and again, and each turn adds only a little text at the end. Inference engines reuse the KV cache of the shared prefix, so only the new tokens pass through the model. However, tokenization has no such shortcut. The CPU front end of the serving engi...

Evolve Together, Fall into Place: How Social Scaffolding Shapes Self-Evolving Multi-Agent Systems

Recent work lets LLM agents evolve their own harness, up to the team itself. Yet in human groups, the same abilities achieve different outcomes under different social conditions. Borrowing the notion of scaffolding from developmental psychology, we investigate whether the social scaffolding of a self-evolving multi-age...

JetSpec++: Foresight Parallel Drafting with Self Refinements

Speculative decoding's effectiveness is governed by two quantities: the acceptance rate of drafted tokens and the cost of producing them. We show the two objectives can be co-optimized with algorithm-system co-design, and present JetSpec++, which retains a strong learned draft model while hiding its cost almost entirel...

PRISMATIC : Prescription Risk Inspection System for Multi-Agent Treatment Interaction in Clinical Decision-Making

Medical prescribing errors for multimorbid patients, who require complex drug regimens, are a major patient safety concern. These errors often stem from fragmented decision-making across medical specialties, a critical coordination failure that leads to adverse drug events and rehospitalizations. To address this coordi...

Qwen-MT-Lumen at WMT2026: Instruction-Specialized Translation via Quality-Aware Training and On-Policy Distillation

Lumen, the open-source model, achieves performance comparable to leading proprietary systems in both translation quality and translation-instruction following, and under an absolute 1--5 LLM-judge rubric that evaluates translation-instruction following and translation quality separately.

Beyond Reachability: A Relation-Semantic Reasoning Framework for Biomedical Multi-hop QA

Biomedical multi-hop reasoning over knowledge graphs requires identifying a semantically valid relation sequence that supports the answer. Existing methods can retrieve correct answers, yet often rank them poorly within a large pool of seemingly relevant candidates. Even when a correct answer is retrieved, its associat...
