    • 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.

    Rethinking Classifier-Free Guidance in On-Policy Diffusion Distillation

    • OPD, which only matches CFG synthesis, fails to capture branch-level stagnation, so errors cancel out.
    • Privileged information in the teacher's negative branch causes the negative-branch asymmetry, or NBA, failure.
    • PDM separately constrains the positive prediction and the CFG direction, meaning positive minus negative, to prevent cancellation.

    • It enables comparison of dynamic aesthetics and multi-shot continuity, which existing web-video-centered evaluations miss, against filmmaking standards.
    • However, because the benchmark is tailored to film and professional video production, it does not directly represent performance on short vertical videos or general user-generated videos.

    Data Pyramid for Embodied Manipulation

    • It organizes embodied-manipulation data into five sources: real robots, UMI-based collection, first-person and third-person video, simulation, and general vision-language data.

    3D-Aware VLMs with Implicit and Explicit Geometries

    • We inject both implicit geometry tokens (IGT) and explicit geometry tokens (EGT) into the VLM at the same time.
    • EGT encodes detailed 3D information, such as depth maps and point clouds, into lightweight embeddings.
    • A 3D-aware adapter effectively fuses 2D vision, implicit 3D, and explicit 3D information.
    • It uses only RGB video as input, so no additional 3D sensors are needed.
    • It achieves SOTA on four tasks: 3D video detection, 3D visual grounding, 3D dense captioning, and spatial reasoning.

    Visual Contrastive Self-Distillation

    • It learns visual dependence by comparing the difference in token probabilities between the original image and an image with the content removed.
    • It needs no external teacher, privileged ground truth, visual evidence signal, or reasoning trajectory.
    • It adds no inference-time cost, because the EMA teacher is evaluated twice only during training.
    • On Qwen3-VL, it improves by +4.77 percentage points at 2B, +1.86 points at 4B, and +3.75 points at 8B.
    • It consistently outperforms previous self-distillation methods across 7 vision-language benchmarks.

    Streaming Multi-Agent Autoregressive Diffusion Model with World State Registers

    • It uses a world-state register, which is a learnable token, to explicitly manage shared state across multiple agents.
    • The register is grounded with three supervision signals: agent state, bird's-eye view, and scene text.
    • A Mixture-of-Transformers structure reduces interference between state updates and frame generation.
    • The Self-Forcing paradigm is used to update the register dynamically during long-horizon rollouts.
    • In two-agent Minecraft experiments, both logical consistency and generation quality improve.

    Tencent WorkBuddy Bench: A Multi-Domain Coding-Agent Benchmark with Contamination-Resistant Task Construction

    • It reverse-engineers real commit, pull request, and security scenarios to create tasks that cannot be found through web search.
    • The benchmark contains 260 tasks across four domains: 80 code, 70 web, 50 office, and 60 security tasks.
    • Each task is rewritten as a everyday, conversational persona request to prevent contamination.
    • Claude Opus 4.8 ranks first with an overall score of 75.0 percent, and GLM-5.2 ranks second with 72.9 percent.
    • The authors release the full code, environment images, and evaluation tools so anyone can reproduce and audit the benchmark.

    Hilbert Operator for Progressive Encoding (HOPE): A Mathematical Framework for Deconstructing Learned Representations in Deep Networks

    • We model neurons as rank-1 operators in a Hilbert space, unifying pruning and merging under a single mathematical criterion.
    • It works without data or hyperparameters by using batch-normalization statistics.
    • Macro block eviction makes it possible to evaluate the entire residual connection path.
    • In DEFT fine-tuning, we propose merging redundant neurons to make room in the parameter space for new tasks.
    • The entire framework is mathematically rigorous, and concept-proving experiments validate it.

    AREX: Towards a Recursively Self-Improving Agent for Deep Research

    • It exploits the asymmetry between discovery and verification, where finding an answer is hard but checking it is easy, and uses verification as the starting point for the next research round.
    • A self-contained context compression tool keeps only the essentials from long conversations, making long-horizon research possible.
    • With a 4B model, it achieves 82.5 on BrowseComp and 52.4 on HLE, far outperforming similarly sized competing models.
    • It teaches search, tool use, and verification step by step through agent mid-training and long-horizon reinforcement learning.
    • It reduces the credit-assignment problem of sparse rewards by weighting the moments when key evidence is obtained.

    SANA-Video 2.0: Hybrid Linear Attention with Attention Residuals for Efficient Video Generation

    • It mixes linear attention and softmax attention in a 3-to-1 ratio so that it can achieve both speed and quality.
    • The AttnRes technique improves information quality in deep layers by about 12 percent.
    • A single H100 GPU can generate a 720p video in 13 seconds, which is 120 times faster than Wan 2.2.
    • It directly learns the optimal balance point by showing that 25 percent softmax attention is the best trade-off between quality and efficiency.
    • Kernel optimization through Sol-Engine delivers an additional 3.58 times speedup.

    Solar Open 2 Technical Report

    • A 250B-A15B MoE structure scales up from Solar Open 1 (102B) while routing only 2.3% of the parameters.
    • Hybrid attention, 75% linear and 25% softmax, plus NoPE, supports a 1M-token context.
    • The Korean tokenizer is 24% more efficient than global models, meaning it represents the same Korean text with fewer tokens.
    • It ranks first among comparable open models and commercial APIs on average Korean benchmarks, and is nearly on par with DeepSeek-V4-Pro (1.6T) on Ko-GDPval.
    • It integrates 12 domain experts into a single model through multi-teacher on-policy distillation (MOPD).

    Scalable Keyword Spotting via Modular Network Expansion

    • It freezes the entire base network, including batch-normalization statistics, so existing keyword performance is preserved at the pixel level.
    • With only 10K additional parameters, 6.7% of the 150K base, it improves FRR for new keywords from 6.46% to 4.37%.
    • It achieves better performance with fewer MACs, 16.34M versus 18.45M and 20.52M, than Adapter or LoRA.
    • A core-first decision rule preserves the exact behavior of the existing keyword threshold.
    • It can scale using only new keyword data, without access to the original training data.

    ATSplat: Compact Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting with Adaptive Token Expansion

    • An adaptive token expansion, or ATE, module automatically finds regions with large rendering error and adds Gaussians there.
    • Compared with dense baselines, it reduces the number of Gaussians by more than 5.7x while still reaching state-of-the-art quality.
    • It reconstructs 12 images at 512×960 in under 1 second and renders at 1,136 FPS.
