    Correcting What You Cannot See: Credit Assignment for Perception Distillation in Multimodal Reasoners

    • It formalizes the credit-assignment problem in multimodal distillation by separating perception failures from reasoning failures.
    • A soft AND gate, formed by multiplying the sub-failure rate, or 1-PSR, and the teacher-student mismatch, or KL, increases correction strength only when both signals are present.
    • It separates perception and reasoning rollouts, distilling only the perception segment while leaving the reasoning segment to RL.
    • When moving from 32B to 8B, the average score across 8 benchmarks rises from 56.94 to 61.22, and when moving from 8B to 2B it rises from 44.50 to 47.28.
    • Removing the PCD weight lowers performance by 2.22 points, and removing the separated rollout lowers it by 0.88 points, confirming the ablation.

    VideoCoCo: Code-as-CoT for Physically-Consistent Video Generation via an Agentic Dual-Engine System

    • It uses executable code, Blender, as a process-level thought chain to preserve physical consistency.

    Beacon: Knowing When and How to Perform Agentic Visual Reasoning

    • It defines two problems in tool use: Mode Adaptiveness, knowing when a tool is needed, and Tool Effect, knowing whether the tool actually helps.
    • Existing models gained little from tools because the gains on hard problems were offset by errors on easy ones.

    • The same failure patterns were reproduced for both Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.6 Sol.
    • The agents were good at engineering work, such as coding and running experiments, but they lacked strong judgment and creativity in research design.
    • The five core failures were weak research-level standards, failure to back away from dead ends, poor resource awareness, non-creative responses to feedback, and drift away from the instructions.
    • They used less than half of the API budget, still had time left over, and never received a pass in AI self-review.

    HumanCLAW: Can Vision-Language Models Act Through a Body?

    • We built a framework that separates behavioral decision making in VLMs from motor control, so it evaluates reasoning ability alone.
    • We built HumanCLAW-Bench, consisting of 1,218 egocentric exploration and interaction episodes across 41 indoor scenes.
    • Even the best of nine state-of-the-art VLMs reaches only a 16.8% success rate.
    • The core failure is not perception but a lack of self-awareness, meaning the model does not know where its body is, whether it has arrived, or whether it has collided.
    • The conclusion is that current VLMs only describe the world; they do not feel the body they control.
  25. 758ResearcharXiv:2607.27199

  33. 750LLMs / NLParXiv:2607.26057

    Pass the Baton: Trajectory-Relayed On-Policy Distillation

  35. 748RoboticsarXiv:2607.25895

    HiFi-UMI: Learning Deployable Manipulation Policies from High-Fidelity UMI Data Alone

    • It overcomes the fidelity limits of prior UMI data with 3 mm trajectory accuracy, microsecond synchronization, and a field of view of about 200 degrees.
    • Zero-robot post-training means it is trained only on HiFi-UMI data and can then be deployed directly on real robots, which is validated on all three backbones.

    How to read Mathematics? A study guide

    • Mathematics should be read in terms of time per page, not pages per time, so read slowly, very slowly.
    • When reading a definition, you must create examples and counterexamples. A definition without examples, and an example without a definition, is not enough.
    • When reading a proof, first skim it, then follow it line by line, and finally summarize the key idea.
    • Practice problems should be looked at as early as possible, and the problem itself should be read like a mathematical text.
    • It warns against overreliance on AI, citing EEG research that suggests heavy dependence on LLMs weakens brain connectivity.

    RSIBench-Data: Benchmarking Data-Centric Research for Recursive Self-Improvement

    • It is the first benchmark that fixes the training, evaluation, and serving infrastructure so that only pure data research ability is measured.
    • Among four frontier agents, including Codex and Claude Code, none is consistently dominant. Codex wins on non-SWE tasks, while three SWE tasks are won by different agents.
    • After feedback, 78% of runs still drop in score on the final attempt even after reaching a peak, which reveals a discovery-reliability gap.
    • Increasing max effort helps find stronger candidates earlier, but it reduces the number of exploration attempts, which reveals a depth-width trade-off.
    • A self-improvement experiment on the same model family, kimi-k2.6, improves from 8% to 21% but still falls short of the original 33%.
  38. 745Computer VisionarXiv:2607.26037

    Wonder: Video World Model Done Better

    • It converts camera motion into rendered visual cues rather than abstract data, which prevents control accuracy from collapsing after distillation.
    • A sparse full-fidelity memory preserves every past frame while keeping attention cost constant.
    • A mixture-of-students over time and camera-aware adversarial regularization preserve both visual quality and control accuracy during distillation.
    • It achieves meaningful improvements over the strongest baseline on rotation position error, going from 0.0174 to 0.0132 for translation and from 0.1155 to 0.0784 for rotation.

    Sparse Autoencoders Encode Both Concepts and Functions: The Downstream Geometry of Feature Effects

    • It measures the geometry of how output logits change when a feature is removed.
    • Most features do not provide one stable control direction.
    • Value-like features more often show low-dimensional structure, but their effects are spread across multiple directions.
    • Pointer-like features produce mostly scattered effects.
    • The paper compares ReLU, TopK, and Matryoshka Batch TopK on Gemma-2-2B.
    • Even when a feature is interpretable and causal, that does not guarantee stable control.

    DeVA: Decoupled Video-Action Model with physical guidance for robot policy learning

    • The method separates video prediction and action prediction into different experts so that policy learning becomes more manageable.
    • It passes representations from multiple layers of the video backbone to the action expert through cross-attention and bridge tokens.
    • It injects auxiliary supervision for object-manipulation regions and relative depth, which strengthens physical information.

    On Feige's conjecture

    • It constructed a short proof by connecting Vlassis and Thomas's distribution-free p-value result to the random-variable-sum problem in Feige's conjecture.
    • It showed that the probability that the sum of n independent nonnegative random variables, each with expectation 1, is less than n+1 is at least (n/(n+1))^n.
    • Because this lower bound is at least 1/e, it establishes Feige's conjecture, posed in 2004.
    • It shows how resolving Gaffke's conjecture in statistics can lead to a proof of a probability inequality, and GPT-5.6 Sol assisted the proof search.
    • However, the central theorem focuses on Feige's conjecture with threshold n+1, rather than resolving the full range of more general small-deviation parameters.

    Sharp small-deviation inequalities for sums of independent nonnegative random variables

    • It combined the exact Dirichlet calibration theorem of Vlassis and Thomas with results from convex geometry, including Grünbaum's centroid theorem.
    • Treating 0<δ<1 and δ≥1 separately, it proved explicit lower bounds on small-deviation probabilities for sums of independent nonnegative random variables.
    • For δ≥1, the lower bound is optimal for every n and is at least 1/e, settling Feige's conjecture.
    • The result provides a sharp reference for analyzing the lower tails of sums of independent nonnegative random variables.
    • However, optimality for every n is established only for δ≥1, and the lower bound in the range 0<δ<1 has not been proved equally sharp.

    τ: Learning Touch-Augmented Vision-Language-Action Models from Future Visual Supervision

    • It learns spatiotemporal tactile representations using a self-supervised objective that predicts future visual features from current touch and subsequent actions.
    • It combines the learned tactile representations with pretrained visual and language features to generate robot actions, while using the prediction branch only during training.
    • It outperformed vision-only VLAs and existing tactile policies on four contact-intensive manipulation tasks, including plug and USB insertion.
    • Removing the additional branch at inference allows it to improve contact-critical robot manipulation without increasing deployment cost.
    • Evaluation focuses on TacAura's four representative tasks and limited task-specific data, leaving validation across a wider variety of robots and contact situations outstanding.

    From Execution to Capability: Scientific Experience Consolidation via Procedural Knowledge Synthesis

    • It defines the problem of turning validated execution experience into reusable procedural knowledge and persistent model capability.
    • It extracts procedures by contrasting successes and failures, then keeps only the ones that pass development validation gates.
    • It increases training data by synthesizing new questions from failures even when no ground truth is available.
    • It empirically shows the gap between abstraction and execution, where weaker models cannot use the abstract procedures directly.
    • A stronger model concretizes the procedures into executable code and turns them into standard supervised training data.

    • It matches temporal semantics with segment-level contrastive learning.
    • It distills semantic features from a pretrained encoder to improve the trainability of each latent space.
    • Both objectives are used only during training, so inference cost does not increase.

    The Physics of Multi-Turn Long-Horizon Planning: From Pre-training to Post-training via Single- and Multi-Teacher On-Policy Agentic Distillation

    • Making the world model explicit as a chain of thought greatly improves long-horizon generalization, from 93.1 versus 0.3.
    • Atomic skills alone do not generalize compositionally, but adding only 5% long-horizon data causes a sharp jump.
    • Mixing in bad trajectories causes error accumulation and collapses long-horizon performance.
    • On-policy distillation has a wider effective range than GRPO under long-horizon and low-quality conditions.
    • Multi-teacher distillation converges on shared planning patterns, while conflicting patterns cause severe forgetting.
    • The experiments use full-parameter supervised learning based on Qwen2.5-100M.
