PalmClaw: A Native On-Device Agent Framework for Mobile Phones

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have moved beyond generating responses to executing multi-step tasks by calling tools, observing the results, and iteratively deciding the next action. Most agent systems run on desktops or servers, which support tool use and task automation. Mobile devices are also important agent environments because they are widely accessible and contain users'data, sensors, and daily-use applications. Existing mobile agents mainly operate smartphones through graphical user interface (GUI) actions such as tapping, swiping, and typing, which often form long, interface-dependent sequences, cannot directly access device capabilities, and make execution boundaries difficult to define. We present PalmClaw, an open-source agent framework that runs natively on mobile phones and manages the sessions, memory, skills, tools, and agent loop directly on the device. PalmClaw exposes device capabilities as device tools with explicit arguments, structured results, and clearly defined execution boundaries. This design enables agents to use mobile capabilities directly while keeping each action explicit and controlled. Experiments show an 11.5% relative improvement in task success and a 94.9% reduction in completion time over the strongest baseline, with lower setup burden and traces illustrating how execution boundaries are applied. Code is available at https://github.com/ModalityDance/PalmClaw.

Chemical Chain-of-Thought Functions as a Hallucination-Prone Molecular Scratchpad

The results show that chemical CoT is neither a faithful explanation nor merely a post-hoc rationalization, but a hallucination-prone molecular scratchpad, which cautions against treating CoT as direct evidence of faithful reasoning and motivates process-level supervision beyond answer-only evaluation.

Not All LLM Reasoning is Visible in the Chain-of-Thought

This work demonstrates a concrete failure mode where frontier models exhibit invisible reasoning by leveraging semantically irrelevant filler tokens to improve performance on synthetic reasoning tasks and indicates that frontier models already perform consequential computation with no interpretable trace in their output tokens.

A Factorial Study of Synthetic Data Generation for Low-Resource Machine Translation using Grammar Books

A pipeline that uses large language models to extract grammatical rules, example sentences, and lexicons from grammar books and generate synthetic parallel corpora for fine-tuning-rather than feeding grammar content into prompts at inference time, as in prior work is introduced.

Zero Hallucination, by Construction: Hallucination-Aware Layered Oversight for Trustworthy Enterprise AI

HALO (Hallucination-Aware Layered Oversight) is presented, an assurance architecture which treats hallucination as a containable failure mode rather than an eliminable one and detail each layer, give particular attention to evidence-based confidence (which verifies extractions against the source document rather than trusting the model's self-reported certainty).

Scaling phoneme-based TTS augmentation for ASR: A unified pipeline and controlled study

A unified phoneme-based TTS-to-ASR augmentation pipeline built around a multilingual TTS model trained from scratch using the F5-TTS architecture with language-ID conditioning is presented and phoneme-frequency-guided selection (PFGS) is proposed, which ranks candidate sentences using phoneme frequencies estimated from real ASR training labels.

MemoryCard: Topic-Aware Multi-Modal Clue Compression for Long-Video Question Answering

MemoryCard is a video-memory-based augmentation framework that organizes long videos into self-contained Memory Cards, each corresponding to a distinct topic or event, and consistently improves long-video QA performance under comparable visual-token budgets.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: Targeted Routing Hijacking in Federated RAG

A trust-aware post-routing framework is proposed that reweights clients using returned-evidence feedback, including retrieval relevance, profile consistency, and cross-client agreement, and online experiments show that it suppresses persistent hijacking over recurring queries and transfers to a learned neural router.

The Telephone Game: Evaluating Semantic Drift in Unified Models

Mean Cumulative Drift (MCD), an embedding-based measure of content retention across three representation spaces, and Multi-Generation GenEval (MGG), extending GenEval's object-level compliance scoring across generations are proposed, to quantify drift.
