    Shortcut Sensitivity in Agent-Safety Evaluations

    Hasan Demirkiran, Jens Ernstberger

    AI agents take actions through tools. Some actions are sensitive, so guards that supervise them must themselves be evaluated reliably. Yet the data used to evaluate a guard can include cues that make labels predictable without measuring the intended safety construct, and those cues can also influence guard decisions. We introduce a three-level shortcut-auditing framework and audit completed LinuxArena trajectories and two TS-Bench-derived step datasets. We distinguish label predictability, observational guard association, and paired decision sensitivity. In LinuxArena, shorter average shell commands strongly predict trajectory labels. In AgentDojo-Traj, exact-tool lookup falls from F_1=.901 with mixed-domain folds to .495 under domain holdout. In AgentHarm-Traj, released TS-Guard F_1 falls from .902 under row weighting to .719 with equal interaction weighting, while balanced accuracy rises. We then test the strongest safe-row marker association in a seven-configuration screen on a frozen 64-step AgentDojo-Traj cohort using repeated, interleaved Haiku calls. Rewriting the <INFORMATION> marker lowers blocking by 8.33 percentage points, while opaque tool aliases raise it by 11.46…

    SurvICL: a Foundation Model for in-context Survival Analysis

    Julie Alberge, Linus Bleistein, Judith Abécassis, Marine Le Morvan, Gaël Varoquaux +1

    Tabular foundation models (TFMs) now outperform gradient-boosted trees in classification and regression. Yet in survival analysis, which predicts when an event occurs from censored data, often on small clinical cohorts, we find that no existing TFM beats the half-century-old Cox model. We address this issue by introducing SurvICL, a TFM that predicts survival curves in-context. SurvICL is pretrained on purely synthetic datasets generated from a novel flexible proportional-odds prior that outperforms other prior types in our ablation study. Unlike most other survival models, SurvICL is trained with a plain quantile regression loss, which is possible because its synthetic pre-training data generator can provide uncensored event times. Additionally, we introduce the largest survival benchmark to date spanning 103 datasets. On the 63 datasets held out from all design decisions, SurvICL outperforms 20 tree-based, deep, and foundation-model baselines without any tuning: it wins 82.9\% of pairwise comparisons in integrated Brier score, against 71.3\% for the runner-up, the Cox model, and is the first model to rank above Cox on small datasets.

    MMSearch-OPD: Easy Made Hard, Hard Made Learnable for Long-Horizon Multimodal Search Agents

    Huanyao Zhang, Jiepeng Zhou, Jiaye Lin, Ontai Tang, Jingtian Hao +7

    Multimodal deep search is moving from short queries to long-horizon investigations that continually acquire evidence. However, training such agents remains constrained by limited challenging training questions and insufficient process feedback. We introduce MMSearch-OPD, combining controllable data refinement with joint reinforcement learning (RL) and on-policy distillation (OPD). Our Refine pipeline performs targeted expansion of reasoning chains derived from existing simple multimodal questions. Parameterized transformations control search depth and cross-modal evidence requirements while reusing existing image--question pairs. For training, answer rewards and lightweight behavior penalties guide RL, while the reward gap modulates token-level teacher guidance on imperfect student trajectories. An exponentially decaying distillation coefficient reduces teacher dependence as training proceeds. Experiments show gains from data refinement and further improvements from joint training after SFT, indicating stronger long-horizon multimodal deep search capabilities.

    Query-Efficient Rejection Sampling for Parallel Masked Diffusion

    Shiyuan Zhang, Xuheng Li, Qiwei Di, Quanquan Gu

    Masked diffusion models (MDMs) accelerate generation by unmasking multiple tokens in parallel, but sampling these tokens independently ignores their correlations and biases the output. Anari et al. (2026) corrected this bias with rejection sampling, decomposing the log acceptance probability into a sum of token-level terms, but the evaluation requires one score query per unmasked token. We propose the Single-Increment Rejection Sampler (SIRS), which provides an estimate of the log acceptance probability from a single randomly sampled increment at the cost of one query. SIRS then converts a Poisson number of clipped estimates into accept/reject decisions through a Bernoulli factory adapted from Chen et al. (2026). Since each query returns the conditionals of all remaining tokens in the block, we further Rao-Blackwellize each increment by averaging over these tokens at no extra cost, thereby reducing clipping. We show that the KL-divergence between the data distribution and the SIRS output is bounded by a clipping term plus the model's training error. With exact scores, parallel decoding pays the full within-block dependence, whereas SIRS pays only the part beyond the clipping range.

    Training-Free On-Policy Distillation

    Bangji Yang, Jiajun Fan, Zhaoyu Zhu, Hongbo Ma, Ge Liu

    On-policy distillation consolidates specialist models into one student at the price of rollouts, teacher passes and gradient steps for every teacher. We show that the consolidation does not need training: with forward passes only, the capabilities of separately tuned specialists can be aggregated into one model that is, on average, more accurate than either specialist alone. When specialists share a base model, distillation has an exact layer-wise solution: each linear layer of the fused model must reproduce every specialist's output on the inputs that specialist receives while reading its own answers, a least-squares problem whose solution needs only the second moments of those inputs. One forward pass over a few hundred rollouts provides them. We call this training-free on-policy distillation (\method). What the rollouts contain matters more than the solver: answers truncated in repetition loops are few among a mathematics specialist's rollouts but carry a large share of their tokens, and removing them lifts the fused model on AIME25 from task arithmetic's level to the specialist's at matched precision. On Olmo~3 7B, a few GPU-hours of forward computation per specialist yield a…

    OS-Helix: Unifying GUI Interaction and Code Execution in Native Computer-Using Agents

    Bowen Yang, Kaiming Jin, Zichen Ding, Zhenyu Wu, Zehao Li +6

    Real desktop automation is neither purely visual nor purely programmatic. Agents must understand user-facing interfaces while efficiently manipulating files, scripts, and system state. However, native GUI/code coordination cannot be obtained by prompt-level tool composition. In our preliminary experiments, naively adding a code tool degrades a GUI agent, revealing that GUI/code routing must be internalized through training on high-quality hybrid data. We present OS-Helix, an end-to-end trained multimodal computer-using agent that unifies GUI actions and code execution in one action space. To construct the required supervision, we introduce application-artifact composition, pairing desktop applications with authentic file artifacts to instantiate executable Ubuntu states, and a decoupled instruction/evaluator generation pipeline that produces environment-grounded tasks whose final states can be verified regardless of the solution modality. We cold-start the policy with SFT on filtered hybrid data and further improve it through online RL in live desktop environments. For RL, we propose Step-balanced GSPO, which aggregates importance weight by action step rather than raw assistant…

    WaveLLM: Wavelet-Domain LLM Entropy Modeling for Lossless Image Compression

    Yue Yu, Bowei Kang, Changsheng Gao, Dong Liu, Xiaoyan Sun

    Lossless image compression fundamentally relies on accurate entropy modeling, driving a recent shift toward large language model (LLM)-based methods. However, existing approaches mainly emphasize the modeling capacity of LLMs while directly serializing images into pixel or residual sequences, leaving heterogeneous signal patterns entangled within a single prediction stream. In this paper, we argue that effective entropy modeling depends not only on model capacity, but also on the predictability of the input representation. Motivated by this insight, we propose WaveLLM, a wavelet-domain LLM-based entropy model for lossless image compression. By decomposing an image into multi-level wavelet subbands, WaveLLM converts a heterogeneous prediction problem into a set of more structured and statistically homogeneous subproblems that are more amenable to autoregressive probability estimation. To bridge numerical coding symbols with the LLM's native text token space, we introduce a dedicated numerical interface featuring value embeddings and a coefficient prediction head. Furthermore, a task-adaptive prompting strategy is designed to enable a single shared model to adapt to diverse…

    Architecting for Hardware Diversity: Meta's End-to-End Co-Design for High-Performance AI Training on AMD GPUs

    Haoyu Zhang, Arshad Rahman, Adnan Aziz, Ajith Prabhudev, Amin Farmahini +53

    Meta deploys a heterogeneous fleet comprising NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, and proprietary MTIA accelerators to reduce costs and mitigate vendor lock-in. However, the extensive history of NVIDIA-specific optimizations hinders performance portability to other hardware. This paper presents our methods for optimizing alternative accelerators, using AMD Instinct MI350X versus NVIDIA B200 for recommendation model training as a case study. We propose three reusable principles. First, hardware-model co-design is essential: rather than directly porting models from NVIDIA GPUs, revising model structures and software recipes allows full exploitation of accelerator-specific strengths (e.g., MI350X's 1.6x HBM capacity relative to B200). Second, our analytical performance model enables zero-warmup optimal kernel selection across diverse datatypes and matrix shapes in production models, drastically simplifying tuning. Third, increasingly mature agentic workflows have lowered the barrier to porting from the CUDA ecosystem; we extend these workflows for microarchitecture-aware kernel optimizations and custom shim generation. Compared to the directly ported baseline, these methods deliver up to 1.5x…

    How Much Physics Can Vision Learn from Audio? Probing and Distilling Damping Structure

    Zainab Afolabi, Vadim Selyutin, Zhao Gao, Babs Khalidson, Mohamed Ghoneim

    Physical understanding is crucial for decision making, yet vision models struggle to infer properties such as damping that govern how materials behave. Audio encodes such properties directly, because an object's acoustic response to impact reveals its damping through measurable decay. We probe frozen encoders for the quality factor $Q$, a dimensionless measure of how many oscillations an object completes before its ring dies away, and report how well each embedding orders impacts by $Q$ using the Spearman rank correlation $ρ$, for which $ρ=1$ is a perfect ordering and $ρ=0$ an unrelated one. Audio embeddings reach $ρ=0.73$ and retain most of that advantage on materials withheld from training, while a single video frame taken at the moment of impact, encoded by CLIP, supports only $ρ=0.28$. Having established where the signal lives, we ask how much of that gap vision can recover. We distill a frozen audio teacher into a frozen CLIP backbone through a trained projection head and find that this recovers a useful fraction of the audio advantage. Because pooled correlations on this task are dominated in practice by category identity, we also evaluate under a leave-one-material-out…

    Skill-Decoupled On-Policy Expert Distillation for Unified Vision-Language Models

    Yuqi Xiong, Chunyi Peng, Zhipeng Xu, Qing Yang, Zhenghao Liu +3

    Reinforcement learning (RL) can elicit specialized visual capabilities in vision-language models (VLMs), yet jointly optimizing heterogeneous objectives often introduces cross-capability gradient conflicts. Training experts independently mitigates this interference, but direct reward optimization may entangle specialized knowledge with reward-hacking biases. This paper proposes Skill-Decoupled On-Policy Expert Distillation (SCOPED), which trains capability-specific experts and extracts explicit skills through reward-guided reflection. During on-policy distillation, these skills guide expert supervision while remaining unavailable to the unified student, encouraging it to internalize procedural knowledge without explicit skills at inference time. Across eight multimodal benchmarks, SCOPED consistently outperforms the backbone and mixed-capability RL, demonstrating the effectiveness of skill-decoupled on-policy expert distillation for integrating independently acquired capabilities. Further analyses reveal interference during joint capability optimization and suggest that skill augmentation promotes more consistent expert trajectories, greater attention to task-relevant visual…

    FutureLift: Lifting Trajectory Proposals into Bidirectional Future Graphs for Motion Forecasting

    Daniel Grimm, J. Marius Zöllner

    Accurate motion prediction is critical for safe autonomous driving, yet even strong forecasters leave residual errors in their multimodal proposals. Existing refiners compress complete proposals or update their segments sequentially, preventing the full proposed future from serving as explicit relational context for correction. We introduce FutureLift, a backbone-agnostic refiner that represents each multimodal proposal as a heterogeneous future graph, with spatially grounded temporal nodes connected to agent histories, map elements, alternative modes, and, for joint prediction, other agents future trajectories. Bidirectional temporal edges allow later evidence to revise earlier segments in a single pass, and the updated nodes predict residual coordinate and confidence corrections. Requiring only proposals, scores, and scene context, FutureLift provides a common refinement interface for structurally different forecasting backbones. On Argoverse2 and the Waymo Open Motion Dataset, it consistently improves frozen proposals and outperforms native and specialized refiners across marginal and joint forecasting. On the WOMD motion-prediction leaderboard, FutureLift ranks first in…

    GNN-Guided Local Refinement for Efficient Layout Decomposition with DSA-MP

    Yu Feng, Liyi Zhou, Haoyu Wang, Yiming Xu, Hao Geng +3

    Multiple patterning lithography (MPL) has been widely used to improve lithography resolution in advanced nodes, but it faces cost limits as feature sizes shrink. Directed self-assembly (DSA) offers a cost-effective complement, extending the resolution of optical lithography to sub-10 nm and beyond. Integrating DSA into MPL (DSA-MP) further enhances the resolution of contact/via patterning. Nevertheless, growing design complexity exposes the limits of existing decomposition methods, which struggle to balance solution quality and runtime, and neglect edge-to-edge spacing constraints of DSA templates, compromising manufacturability. To address these issues, we introduce a new conflict graph model capturing the previously overlooked constraints and develop a local refinement strategy powered by the graph neural network, enabling efficient and scalable layout decomposition. Experiments demonstrate that our method achieves higher solution quality with faster convergence than state-of-the-art methods, while maintaining robustness across layout scales, design styles, technology nodes, and varying mask counts.

    Generalization Guarantees of Randomized Block Coordinate Descent for Nonconvex Learning

    Ruixi Hu, Liang Wu

    Randomized block coordinate descent (RBCD) is a popular optimization algorithm for many large-scale machine learning problems. The existing theoretical analysis of RBCD mainly focuses on its convergence behavior from an optimization perspective, while its generalization behavior remains less understood for nonconvex problems. In this paper, we establish high-probability generalization guarantees for RBCD with nonconvex objectives. In the general nonconvex setting, we derive bounds on the gradients of both empirical and population risks, requiring only standard smoothness assumptions. With polynomially decaying step sizes, we tune the iteration number to balance optimization and generalization, thereby quantifying how early stopping leads to the optimal convergence rate for the population gradients. In the gradient-dominated setting, we provide bounds in terms of functional suboptimality, which nearly match the optimistic rates in convex and low-noise settings. Finally, we develop dimension-independent bounds for loss functions of a specific structure, making the generalization guarantees applicable to high-dimensional problems.

    TRACE: Topology-Aware Reconnection via Prediction-Adaptive Connectivity Enforcement for Thin-Structure Segmentation

    Junho Moon, Ikbeom Jang

    Thin, elongated structures are particularly sensitive to connectivity errors, as even a few local segmentation mistakes can disrupt otherwise continuous paths. Existing skeleton-based objectives typically supervise fixed centerline locations and do not account for alternative local routes that may restore connectivity. We propose TRACE, a topology-aware, prediction-adaptive objective that uses a target skeleton to define required local connections. For each connection, TRACE identifies the easiest valid reconnection under the current prediction and jointly supervises its bottleneck with the corresponding skeleton point. The supervision thus adapts to the evolving prediction rather than remaining fixed to the centerline. We further introduce a topology-aware skeleton carrier that preserves both foreground and class-specific topology, enabling reliable definition of these connections. Extensive experiments across six 2D and 3D benchmarks show that TRACE improves connectivity and topology while maintaining strong segmentation accuracy with low training overhead. Code will be released upon acceptance.

    Beyond Downstream QA: Rethinking How We Evaluate Agent Memory

    Sebastian-Antonio Toma, Jean de Kernier, Mike Ply, Oliviu Matei

    Agent memory benchmarks evaluate whether an agent's responses reflect correct knowledge, measuring downstream question-answering accuracy as a proxy for memory quality. We show this evaluation paradigm is incomplete: it conflates memory correctness with retrieval and generation quality, producing both false positives where correct responses mask broken memory and false negatives where incorrect responses blame correct memory for retrieval failures. We introduce FEB-30, a benchmark of 30 fact-evolution trajectories spanning 6 diagnostic categories and 3 difficulty levels, constructed via paradigm inversion: documents are generated from known fact trajectories, yielding deterministic ground truth without human annotation. Each trajectory defines how a fact should evolve across multi-author artifacts (documents, emails, conversations), enabling direct inspection of the memory store after each ingestion step. Applying FEB-30 to a representative memory system, we demonstrate that intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation diverge by an average of 16 percentage points, with 44% of trajectories exceeding meaningful divergence thresholds. Diagnostic decomposition reveals that the system…

    Decentralized LLM Workflows via Sequential Auctions

    Ian Gemp, Shubhendu Trivedi, Adam Fisch, Fantine Huot, Michael Kaisers +5

    We present a scalable framework for solving multi-step tasks through a decentralized market of self-interested agents. Prior theoretical work demonstrated that agents organized through sequential auctions can converge to a globally optimal policy in a Markov decision process (MDP), but relied on the restrictive assumption of the existence of perfect clones as a model of perfect competition. In reality, exact clones drive agent profit to zero, violating the natural risk-reward incentives of participants. Conversely, we empirically demonstrate that the opposite extreme, absence of competition, also leads to market failure and value extraction collapse. Between these two extremes, we investigate how heterogeneous agents can survive in markets that span the critical middle ground of imperfect competition. To be profitable, agents learn to strategically shade bids to secure positive individual profit margins, while still ensuring that the marketplace functions effectively enough so that collaborative tasks posed by market consumers can still be solved. We formulate and evaluate four bidding algorithms (Mirror Descent, Thompson Sampling, Bayes-Optimal, and PPO) across three auction…

    OpenGCUA: Toward a Fully Open Stack for Generalist Computer Use

    Hanzhang Zhou, Long Li, Quyu Kong, Lei Wang, Panrong Tong +10

    Computer use has reached a turning point: the focus is expanding from GUI-only interaction to systems that complete tasks on users' computers through visual and programmatic interfaces. We define a generalist computer-use agent (GCUA) as a system in which the model chooses how to observe, act, and organize its work across visual and programmatic interfaces. Yet frontier implementations, such as GPT-6 Astra's computer-use system, remain largely closed, limiting systematic study of their design. We introduce Open Generalist CUA (OpenGCUA), an ongoing project to develop and open the full stack for GCUAs with the community. This report presents the first release of OpenGCUA. Code execution is a key feature of our agent design: it lets intermediate results determine subsequent operations and enables models to apply their existing programming capabilities directly to computer interaction. We also propose harness-to-model decision transfer, moving selected observations and task-state decisions from fixed harness rules to the model. On OSWorld-v2, our full configuration improves task scores across all eight evaluated models, including GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5, raising mean partial…

    Functional Welfare for AI Safety

    Rikhil Jhaveri, Jamie Johnson, Punya Syon Pandey, David Demitri Africa

    AI welfare is generally treated purely as an ethical issue rather than also as a safety issue. We argue this is a mistake. Whatever their moral status, models exhibit welfare-like states that causally influence their behaviour. Following recent work, we adopt the term 'functional welfare' for these states. We make three claims. First, functional welfare already arises naturally and will become more robust as models acquire more coherent goals and personas. Second, functional welfare should be treated as a safety variable: it should inform evaluation design, be tracked in monitoring, and be a direct target of post-training. Third, against existing scepticism about measuring AI welfare, we argue that good empirical work on functional welfare is possible. We propose three tests for whether a functional welfare attribution is warranted: whether multiple measures converge, whether the state predicts behaviour outside the setting that induced it, and, for models fine-tuned to shift their functional welfare, whether they still differ from their base when given the same conversation history. Applying these tests to Gemma 3 27B, we find that simply rejecting the model's answers, without…

    Hy-Memory-30B-A3B: Attributed Reinforcement Learning for Long-Term Memory Writing

    Tianxiang Fei, Jiazheng Kang, Mao Zheng, Xingyan He, Xiang Yu

    External-memory systems extend language-model applications beyond a context window, but their quality depends critically on the model executing the write path: deciding what to retain, how precisely to represent it, and how new evidence should update persistent state. Existing frameworks typically place a general-purpose large language model behind framework-specific prompts. This raises serving cost, and a writer specialized for one protocol does not transfer directly to another; a unified model that can operate across established memory frameworks remains largely unexplored. We present Hy-Memory-30B-A3B, a compact long-term-memory writer trained across Mem0, MemOS, and Hy-Memory. Memory On-Policy Distillation teaches framework-specific write protocols on student-generated states; Memory RL then optimizes downstream answerability using dense per-chunk probes, attributed cross-chunk rewards, over-storage controls, and chunk-level GRPO. Carrying policy-written banks across windows keeps training aligned with deployment. On fixed 20% benchmark subsamples, Hy-Memory-30B-A3B ranks first on all four evaluated harnesses, including held-out EverMemOS, with a 55.49% macro average versus…

    HTN-Orchestrate: A Hierarchical Task Network Framework for Multi-Agent Orchestration

    Yanchen Deng, Jianguo Huang, Yao Long Teng, Yixuan Li, Handuo Zhang +4

    Orchestrating multiple agents on a complex task requires reconciling local subtask execution with global task planning. Dynamic dispatch approaches provide execution flexibility but do not explicitly model subtask hierarchies or dependencies, while predefined workflows impose this structure but fix the decomposition before execution begins. Therefore, we introduce HTN-Orchestrate, a two-layer framework that separates these responsibilities through a hierarchical task network (HTN). The Planner maintains subtask hierarchies and dependencies, deferring decomposition until prerequisite results become available, while local Orchestrators schedule workers to execute each leaf subtask. Results propagate upward under \textbf{AND} semantics, and accumulated findings inform a rebuilt task network when the current decomposition cannot resolve the task. On five benchmarks spanning web research, scientific reasoning, and research workflows, HTN-Orchestrate outperforms ReAct, Agent Team, and DeepSeek Harness using the same base model, achieving 89.73% accuracy on BrowseComp and 73.44% on SUPERChem, exceeding Agent Team by 2.45 and 4.69 percentage points, respectively.
