While language models have become dramatically more capable, retrieval still largely relies on lexical matching or similarity in fixed embedding spaces. This creates a capability asymmetry: what the retriever fails to find, even the strongest generator cannot recover. We propose DecisionRAG, which brings the capabilities of pretrained language models to retrieval using decision models that jointly evaluate candidate branches in a single forward pass, without generating any tokens, and show that judging candidates in a shared context makes their relevance estimates comparable. Like a person browsing a library, DecisionRAG navigates the corpus's inherent structure from broad topics down to individual passages, deciding at each level which branches are worth exploring. Without task-specific training or a first-stage retriever, DecisionRAG outperforms dense retrieval with an 8B reranker by 13.8 R@1 points on MultiDoc2Dial and 17.4 Hit@1 points on Natural Questions. Across four benchmarks, including a corpus of 2.68 million Wikipedia paragraphs, retrieval takes just 0.7-1.8 seconds per query.
Flint is Recursive’s mixture-of-experts language model for coding agents, with 39.8 billion total parameters and approximately 2.5 billion active per token. It is designed to investigate codebases, fix bugs, implement features, and write tests.
Multi-agent large language model (LLM) debate is often evaluated by whether final answers improve, but movement is not necessarily improvement: the same discussion can rescue an initially wrong majority or destroy an initially correct one. Standard final-accuracy evaluations…
Tironian notes are generally regarded as the first Latin shorthand system and are notable for their large, fine-grained symbol inventory. Their high visual similarity and large class set make manual reading time-consuming, leaving manuscripts that contain Tironian notes…
Recurrent and equilibrium graph neural networks (GNNs) often enforce a unique fixed point or use one training target per graph. Yet many combinatorial and scientific problems admit multiple valid solutions, with no preferred one. A designated target can then impose an arbitrary…
Despite substantial progress across downstream applications, vision-language models (VLMs) remain susceptible to language bias, often prioritizing linguistic cues over visual evidence and consequently producing incorrect predictions. Prior studies have proposed various…
