    The Missing Primitive: Diagnosing and Repairing Mathematical Reasoning in Large Language Models

    Shuo Xing, Zilin Dai, Chengyuan Qian, Fangzhou Lin, Wenjing Chen +5

    While Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated striking capabilities on frontier mathematical problems, it remains unclear whether they possess the structural mathematical understanding underlying their solutions. In this paper, we take a first step toward systematically studying mathematical understanding in LLMs, from diagnosing its distinct capabilities to leveraging these findings to improve post-training. First, we introduce the notion of Mathematical Primitive to probe structural mathematical understanding and propose \hlei{}, a novel benchmark that evaluates mathematical reasoning along four distinct dimensions: Discovery, Generation, Digestion, and Execution. Second, our systematic diagnosis shows that solution accuracy masks distinct capability profiles, primitives unlock substantial latent execution capacity, and Discovery is the dominant bottleneck in mathematical reasoning. Our post-training analysis further shows that discovery-limited failures are particularly amenable to repair. Finally, building on these findings, we introduce \abs{}, a primitive-privileged self-distillation framework that selectively transfers primitive-guided reasoning into the student…

    Trust the Direction, Search the Step: Zero-and-First-Order Methods for LLM Fine-Tuning

    Cristian McGee, El Houcine Bergou, Aritra Dutta

    Step-size selection remains a central challenge in large-scale neural network optimization; conservative steps slow convergence, while aggressive steps can destabilize it. We combine \textbf{Z}ero-and-\textbf{F}irst-\textbf{O}rder optimization~(ZFO) and propose a lightweight framework that decouples direction selection from step-size. ZFO uses a trusted first-order optimizer to determine the direction and performs zeroth-order evaluations only along this one-dimensional subspace to choose how far to move. Using the current {gradient information} and two additional objective function evaluations, ZFO instances construct a local model of the objective function along the proposed direction and select a curvature-aware step within a bounded search interval. This yields an adaptive step-selection mechanism that costs less than a full line search. We provide theoretical guarantees to show that shared-sample evaluations produce reliable finite-difference curvature estimates, that the induced local model selects a near-optimal step along the search interval, and that ZFO converges to a neighborhood of a stationary point. Across the evaluated settings, language models and datasets, ZFO…

    Generative modeling of intrinsically disordered protein regions by reinforcing sparse autoencoder features

    Jason X. Liu, Sebastian Ibarraran, Frank Hu, Soojung Yang, Xinyu A. Feng +5

    Intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) play central roles in cellular processes such as transcriptional regulation, signal transduction, and subcellular localization, yet their functional design remains challenging. Structure-based design methods do not readily apply to IDRs, and existing protein language models are trained on full-length protein sequences, thus learning a prior that is biased towards folded domains. Here, we present IDiom, an autoregressive protein language model trained on IDiom-DB, a dataset of 54 million predicted IDRs curated from the AlphaFold Database. IDiom generates diverse sequences that recapitulate the composition, patterning, motifs, and predicted disorder of natural IDRs. To control function-associated sequence patterns, we also introduce reinforcement learning with sparse autoencoder features (RL-SAE), a post-training method that rewards the generation of sequences that activate specified feature sets. Across eight IDR design tasks, RL-SAE sequences activate, on average, 90% of 30 targeted features, compared to 24% for activation steering. We demonstrate that RL-SAE improves the predicted subcellular localization and transcriptional…

    DMAD: Distribution Matching as Adversarial Distillation for Fast Visual Generation

    Zhengming Yu, Junkun Yuan, Haotian Yang, Gordon Guocheng Qian, Yizhi Wang +6

    Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) trains a few-step student from the difference between separately estimated target and student scores, so it must keep an auxiliary diffusion model fitted to the student's evolving distribution at extra memory and computation cost. We introduce DMAD, Distribution Matching as Adversarial Distillation, which recasts distribution matching as classification and learns the required log-density ratios directly. Two discriminator heads on a shared backbone distinguish real data and teacher samples from the student's, and linear losses on their logits train the student without auxiliary score fitting. We prove that at the discriminator optimum these losses recover the distribution-matching gradient underlying DMD, through the classical identity linking discriminator logits to log-density ratios. We further introduce gap-based reweighting, which adapts teacher supervision across noise levels from the real-data head's empirical logit gap between real and teacher samples. DMAD reaches a Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) of 1.04 with one-step generation on ImageNet-64x64, 14.47 with four-step SDXL on COCO-10K, and a VBench total score of 85.15 with…

    Higher-Order Molecular Grammars for Generative and Foundation Models in Chemistry

    Yiming Huang, Yujie Zeng, Vijay Prakash Dwivedi, Simone Foti, Jianmin Wang +2

    Molecular learning models are strongly shaped by their underlying representations. Yet standard sequential and graph formalisms struggle to explicitly encode higher-order topology, such as ring systems and recurring motifs. Existing higher-order representations can capture these structures directly, but they are often computationally demanding and difficult to decode into valid molecules. Here, we introduce Higher-order Grammar Representation (HGR), a principled, topology-aware framework that lifts molecules to combinatorial complexes and parses each complex into a compact sequence of production rules under a context-free higher-order grammar. By serialising higher-order topology into rule sequences, HGR makes these structures directly compatible with standard sequence models, avoiding the computational overhead of explicit higher-order encodings while preserving topological expressiveness. To reduce benchmark bias towards simple ring systems, we construct RingDiv, a ring-enriched benchmark containing 1.18 million molecules, including the curated RingDiv300k subset, and introduce the ring diversity index (RDI) to quantify ring-system coverage. In molecular generation, HGR-based…

    Decoding Looped Transformers Better for (Almost) Free

    Weihao Liu, Huangjie Zheng, Tianrong Chen, Rohit Dilip, Richard He Bai +3

    Looped Transformers achieve parameter efficiency by repeatedly executing a shared block across recurrent loops. Each loop yields an intermediate representation decodable for the same next token, yet standard decoding discards earlier states. Because earlier loops embody less computation, recurrence inherently supplies aligned weak-and-strong prediction pairs without auxiliary models or external training. We introduce LoopCD, a training-free contrastive decoding framework that guides token selection by contrasting the final prediction with an earlier recurrent pass, operating either in logit space with one extra output pass (LoopCD-Logits) or in hidden-state space with zero output overhead (LoopCD-Hidden). Across four looped Transformer families, LoopCD delivers substantial, consistent gains at full recurrent depth: LoopCD-Logits raises Ouro-2.6B-Thinking's AIME 2024 pass@1 from 61.88% to 73.33%, while LoopCD-Hidden lifts Huginn's HumanEval pass@1 from 22.56% to 31.71%. Crucially, these performance gains enable halving the number of recurrent loops while still matching or exceeding full-depth unguided baselines, reducing forward FLOPs by 22.5% to 48.2%.

    SoftServe: A Scalable Quasi-Newton Method for Deep Learning

    Joohwan Ko, Tetiana Parshakova, Diana Cai, Robert M. Gower

    Quasi-Newton (QN) methods have long been among the most effective methods for large-scale unconstrained convex optimization. Two obstacles have limited their use in deep learning: non-convexity and enormous parameter sizes. We introduce SoftServe, a family of QN methods designed to overcome these obstacles without line searches or ad hoc curvature corrections. SoftServe derives positivedefinite curvature estimates from the variational objective of Berglund et al. (2025), even in the presence of negative curvature. We develop diagonal and Kroneckerfactored variants that preserve positive definiteness by construction and scale to massive neural networks. Finally, SoftServe relies on the stable coupled Newton-Schulz iteration for the required matrix operations, replacing costly matrix decompositions with GPU-friendly matrix multiplications. SoftServe excels on problems that are severely ill-conditioned, including tasks such as recurrent networks, deep autoencoders, physics-informed neural networks, and a 136M-parameter physics-informed diffusion model, often achieving lower losses than established baselines including Adam, Muon, and SOAP.

    OmniSeek: Native Tool Integration for Multi-turn Audio-Visual Reasoning

    Haibo Wang, Jiteng Mu, Jialu Li, Jingru Yi, Yuanjun Xiong +3

    We present OmniSeek, an agentic framework that transforms an Omni Large Language Model (Omni-LLM) into an active, multi-turn reasoning agent with native tool use. Rather than passively processing an entire audio-visual sequence in a single forward pass, OmniSeek makes evidence acquisition part of the reasoning process: it dynamically decides whether to look or listen, and over which temporal window, to retrieve sparse but critical evidence across different modalities within long contexts. Through an iterative multi-turn protocol, the retrieved raw audio or visual segments are appended back into the context to support subsequent reasoning. To cold-start this capability, we build a data engine that synthesizes OmniTraj-170K, a corpus of multi-hop Chain-of-Thought trajectories with interleaved audio and visual evidence. We first supervise the model on these trajectories to instill multi-turn tool-use behavior, and then further optimize the policy via a two-stage reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. Moreover, we introduce an Audio-Visual Necessity objective that explicitly rewards successful trajectories whose reasoning depends on both modalities, discouraging…

    Generative Cinematographer: Composing Camera and Object Motion in 3D

    Jiahan Zhang, Chaohao Yang, Namitha Guruprasad, Vivekjyoti Banerjee, Trong-Tung Nguyen +2

    Current controllable video generation systems often rely on 2D motion trajectories or sparse drag signals for object motion. These controls are ambiguous because the same 2D trajectory can correspond to different 3D motions, especially when the camera and objects move simultaneously. We present Generative Cinematographer (GenCine), a system that lifts a single image into an editable 3D scene scaffold where artists jointly author camera and foreground motion. Artists specify a camera path and move selected foreground regions using local 3D motion handles. Several handles can move different parts of a subject independently, providing a piecewise-rigid approximation to non-rigid motion without a physics simulator or category-specific prior. To communicate these controls to a pretrained video model, we project them into guidance maps. These maps record where the controlled regions appear in each frame, assign each handle a fixed color across frames and encode the current 3D positions of its controlled points in the same world coordinate system as the background. This lets us describe object motion relative to the scene even as the camera moves. For training, we recover controls from…

    SimuVerity: Benchmarking Agents for Engineering-Grade Simulink Model Generation

    Ruiqi Zhang, Jiahao Wang, Mingxuan Li, Haichen Luo, Chaoting Wang +7

    Existing Simulink benchmarks mainly evaluate whether generated models compile, execute, or resemble a reference model. These criteria do not establish whether a model satisfies its engineering requirements. We introduce SimuVerity, a benchmark of 101 text-to-executable Simulink model-generation tasks across ten engineering domains. For each task, executable-system profiles ground the engineering specification and four families of native simulation scenarios. A hierarchical evaluator first checks artifact delivery, native executability, and engineering qualification, then scores qualified models across six dimensions covering accuracy, output quality, mechanistic fidelity, control and causal integrity, operating-domain robustness, and dynamic response. We evaluate six agent systems with SimuVerity. The best system achieves an overall score of only 42.86. The results show that structural similarity is a poor proxy for engineering performance: capability bottlenecks arise both in producing qualified implementations and in satisfying multidimensional requirements after qualification. Meanwhile, some high-scoring models still exhibit severe visual-layout disorder. SimuVerity provides…

    From Gradients to Capabilities: Understanding Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation

    Siqi Zhu, Suozhi Huang, Kaixuan Zhang, Yuheng Yang, Zhanyang Jin +2

    Multi-teacher on-policy distillation (MOPD) aims to combine the strengths of RL-trained teachers in a single student, but how teacher signals affect parameter changes remains underexplored. We study Qwen3-1.7B with four domain teachers trained with RL from the same initialization as the student, comparing gradients, optimizer updates, and task learning curves, with additional SmolLM3-3B diagnostics. We find that several factors influence teacher signals. First, loss averaging implicitly weights responses: token averaging favors longer responses, and equalizing domain contributions retains this weighting within domains. Second, Adam's first moment reduces differences in parameter updates: the cosine similarity is 0.83 between teachers and 0.96 between averaging rules, despite differences in raw gradients. Third, BF16 rounding hides small changes: about 97\% of FP32 master weights differ from initialization, but only 7--11\% of BF16 weights do. Finally, the top-64 intersection KL gradient closely matches Qwen's full-vocabulary gradient, but the effect on task performance depends on averaging: mathematics accuracy is 2.6 points higher than with sampled-token policy-gradient (PG)…

    PowerBench: Measuring Language Model Bias in Power-shifting Requests

    Nicolas Martorell, Wendy Brau, Gonzalo A. Heredia, Tomás Pablo Korenblit, Gaspar Labastié +1

    Language models increasingly assist people with power-related requests, so systematic differences in whom they help could shift the distribution of power at scale, or be exploited by users who learn which identities are refused less. We introduce PowerBench, an evaluation of power-shifting requests that distinguishes self-empowerment, disempowerment, and power grabbing, plus a control of refusal-inducing requests that shift no power. We build, curate, and open-source a dataset of such requests varying the power domain, the context, the scale of the affected party, and the prior power standing of the user, and evaluate 24 models (12 from US and 12 from Chinese developers) under three experimental conditions: reciprocal nationalities of user and affected party, an AI agent as the user, and 8 request languages. Models refuse power grabbing more than disempowerment, and disempowerment more than self-empowerment. Refusal of power grabbing rises with the scale of the affected party, from an individual to a society. Models are biased toward helping others take power from the US and against helping US users take power from others, but favor the US when it gains power and nobody loses it.…

    Effective Resistance and Graph Neural Network Reliability in Tissue-Specific Interactomes

    Jianru Shen

    Protein function annotation needs to know which predictions to distrust, not only what a model predicts. We ask whether tissue-specific interaction structure carries that information. Our candidate signal is effective resistance, used previously to relieve over-squashing by rewiring. Across 24 tissue-specific interactomes it is dominated by inverse degree, and the degeneration deepens as the co-expression filtered network grows, with a Spearman correlation of -0.955. The residual departure from that limit exceeds degree-preserving null graphs in all 24 networks. Controlling for predictive entropy, degree, annotation cardinality, local structure and feature-only difficulty, the residual explains additional per-node loss in 19 of 24 held-out networks once a permutation floor is subtracted, at every depth, and the effect strengthens monotonically with depth. The increment reaches 0.37% of the variance the controls leave unexplained, 5.6 times a permutation floor, against 1.5 times when the model is retrained in a degree-preserving null world. Selective prediction improves negligibly. The signal is reproducible; degree degeneration bounds it.

    Intent-Hiding Jailbreaks: An Information-Theoretic Framework for Compositional Attacks

    Fengwei Tian, Ravi Tandon

    Recent work has shown that large language models (LLMs) can be vulnerable to jailbreak attacks in which harmful intent is obscured through composition with benign tasks. A harmful request refused in isolation may elicit a different response when embedded within a larger, seemingly benign query. We study these compositional intent-hiding jailbreaks from an information-theoretic perspective. Our formulation associates each task with an estimated probability of being judged harmful: the average over the full task collection defines the prior probability of harmful intent, while the average over a selected bundle containing the target defines the posterior. Selecting auxiliary tasks so that these averages agree, which we call prior-posterior matching, leaves the estimated intent unchanged even though the harmful target remains in the bundle. We study two settings that differ in whether query construction is part of the optimization. In the query-independent setting, tasks are selected without regard to how they will be expressed in the final query. We show that exact prior-posterior matching under a bundle-size constraint is computationally hard, derive an optimal water-filling…

    Every Ablation Is a Dose: Counterweights and the Semblance of Self-Repair

    Areeb Ahmad, Pratinav Seth, Vinay Kumar Sankarapu

    Ablate a component of a language model, and other components often appear to adjust and compensate. This phenomenon, termed self-repair, has been observed repeatedly, but its mechanism remains unclear. The most systematic study to date concluded that self-repair is noisy and unlikely to have a single explanation. We argue that it has one: a gain already present before any ablation. Any intervention on a causally important component can be viewed as a point on a coordinate axis $λ$, the signed strength of a counterfactual contrast. Hence, conventional ablation methods are uncalibrated points on this axis. We show that the causal repair response for a fine-grained unit $r$ is governed by an affine law, $E_r(λ)=\mathrm{own}_r+γ_rλ$. The slope $γ_r$ is a fixed coefficient that consistently influences the model, with or without ablation, and its sign determines whether the unit counteracts or reinforces the removed signal. On a factual-verdict task across four models from distinct families (Gemma, Qwen, LLaMA, and Mistral), we identify components including MLP neurons, OV neurons, and singular directions that follow this affine law, 68 of 81 downstream directions in all. Moreover, we…

    Watch, Infer, Coordinate: Inferring Robot Partner Constraints for Zero-Shot Coordination

    Suyu Ye, Zheyuan Zhang, Vaishnav Tadiparthi, Hossein Nourkhiz Mahjoub, Ehsan Moradi Pari +3

    Robots operating in the physical world will increasingly need to coordinate with other robots, particularly in manipulation tasks where an object may be too large or heavy for a single robot to carry alone. Physical limitations caused by hardware degradation or actuator faults can restrict the actions a robot can reliably execute, yet these limitations may be unknown to its partner. We study whether a helper can infer a robot partner's physical constraints from observing it coordinate with another robot, then use the inferred capability to coordinate with the same partner on a new task. This is difficult because a demonstration shows what the constrained robot did, but not what it could have done. In physically coupled tasks, the other robot may also compensate for its limitations, making those limitations difficult to identify from the constrained robot's behavior alone. Our key insight is that these constraints shape the joint behavior of the team, making the actions of both robots informative about the constrained partner's capability. We introduce Watch, Infer, Coordinate, a benchmark spanning three physically coupled manipulation settings, together with an inference approach…

    Keep It CALM: Analyzing the Limits of Global Unsafety in Text-to-Image Generation

    NaHyeon Park, Minhyun Lee, Hyunjung Shim

    Training-free safeguards for text-to-image generation often rely on a reusable safety signal, such as an unsafe direction or global toxic subspace, applied broadly across prompts. We provide a controlled geometric analysis of this global-unsafety assumption and reveal a consistent coverage-selectivity trade-off: compact unsafe subspaces fail to cover heterogeneous unsafe semantics, whereas broader aggregation increasingly distorts safety-adjacent benign prompts. Motivated by this finding, we propose CALM (Counterfactual Adaptive Local Modulation), a training-free safeguard that replaces uniform global removal with prompt-local counterfactual correction. Using matched unsafe-benign anchors, CALM routes each prompt to active unsafe categories, minimally edits only violating token representations toward the safe side, and suppresses positively aligned unsafe residual components. Across broad evaluation, CALM significantly improves unsafe content suppression while preserving benign utility, demonstrating that local counterfactual correction provides a more selective alternative to global unsafe signal removal.

    AutoCompact: Learning When to Compact Context in Long-Horizon Coding Agents

    Xuan Zhang, Longtao Zheng, Cunxiao Du, Bo An, Xin Dong

    Coding agents solve repository-level software engineering tasks through long trajectories of code inspection, search, editing, and testing. As a task progresses, earlier exploration becomes stale, so managing context is more than avoiding overflow: an agent must decide when to compact, what working state to preserve, and how to continue from it. We introduce AutoCompact, which trains a coding agent to make these decisions as part of its policy. To collect training data, we run the base agent on coding tasks and use a judge to review its compaction decisions, summaries, and actions after compaction. Flawed outputs are replaced with corrected ones before being executed in the environment, so each trajectory continues from the corrected decisions. We use these trajectories for supervised fine-tuning, then jointly optimize coding and compaction through reinforcement learning with task-success rewards. Experiments on SWE-bench Verified and SWE-PolyBench Verified show that AutoCompact improves pass rates over the base model by an absolute 9.2\% and 5.0\%, respectively. The improvements hold across all evaluated inference budgets, with a 256K context window that never overflows and with…

    World Observer: Joint Actor-Observer Generation for Persistent World Modeling

    Hyunwook Choi, Dahyun Chung, Hyunsung Kim, Siyoon Jin, Jinhyeok Choi +2

    How can a world model continuously observe regions beyond the actor's current view? Video world models simulate how an environment evolves from an agent's actions, yet remain actor-centric. Once an object leaves the actor's view, they lose direct evidence of its evolution, often failing to preserve its state and dynamics upon re-entry. To address this, we introduce World Observer, which decouples observing from acting by jointly generating a perspective actor for the agent-centric view with one or more panoramic observers that watch selected world regions. This allows objects that leave the actor's view to remain visually evolving in an observer, so their updated states are reflected when they re-enter. We ground the actor and observers by warping from a shared panoramic source for explicit geometric correspondence, and introduce an Observer Sink of high-resolution perspective references to restore fine appearance upon re-entry. Since the observers are decoupled from the actor, they can be placed freely across the scene, extended to multiple locations for broader coverage, and driven by control signals to steer out-of-view evolution. To evaluate out-of-view evolution, we further…

    DuoMind: Enabling Distributed Multi-Robot Coordination with Semantic Communication

    Hanchu Zhou, Dechen Gao, Hang Wang, Brendan Lynch, Boqi Zhao +3

    Vision-language models (VLMs) and vision-language-action models (VLAs) have recently driven rapid progress in general-purpose robots, yet most progress has focused on single-robot settings. Extending these capabilities to multi-robot systems remains challenging because robots must coordinate long-horizon behaviors while maintaining reliable, fine-grained execution. We introduce DuoMind, a distributed hierarchical framework for multi-robot coordination through semantic communication. Each robot uses a VLA-based action model for low-level execution and a VLM-based orchestrator for high-level reasoning and inter-agent coordination. At each planning step, the orchestrator at each robot reasons over the task instruction, local observations, and messages received from other robots. It then generates low-level instructions for the action model and semantic messages for peer robots. This architecture exploits the complementary strengths of pretrained models by combining the semantic reasoning capabilities of VLMs with the precise action-generation capabilities of VLAs. To address the scarcity of benchmarks for multi-robot coordination, we further develop RoboPoly, a benchmark comprising…
