Training Foundation Models with a Single Algorithm

"Foundation models are typically trained in stages: pretraining, midtraining, supervised fine-tuning (SFT), and reinforcement learning (RL), with changes in both data and learning algorithms. We show that this algorithmic separation is not fundamental. By deriving suitable RL objectives as maximum-li..."

Pre-Crime for Agents, at the Last Second: Probing When a Recruited Agent Gives In

"When AI agents share channels and credentials, one agent can press another to break its operator's rule, a first step towards collusion. Output filters check only what an agent has already written. Can an overseer tell beforehand that an agent is about to give in? We show that a linear probe on the..."

Ramanujan Challenge Results: AI-Assisted Evaluation Pipeline for Multi-Format Proofs

"As AI's mathematical capabilities rapidly improve, meaningful benchmarks are shifting from university-level problems and math olympiads to research-level mathematics. The Ramanujan Challenge is a benchmark comprised of research-level problems in number theory, including unpublished results and open..."

Collaborative AI agents for autonomous experimental research with solid-state quantum spins

"An autonomous research laboratory could conduct an entire study, from formulating questions to preparing manuscripts. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers one route towards this goal. Recent AI systems take on several research roles, but may draw conclusions that the evidence does not support. Here,..."

ShallowDefend: Harnessing Shallow Safety Alignment for Multi-Turn Defender

"Safety alignment has enabled large language models to reliably refuse harmful requests directly, yet the same request distributed across a multi-turn conversation still succeeds far too often. This brittleness has a mechanistic root: Alignment is shallow, with safety behavior concentrated in a model..."

FARMS: A Verifiable Foundation for Automated Computational Science

This prospect requires mathematical knowledge that AI systems can interpret and reuse with explicit guarantees. Here we present FARMS, a faithful and efficient foundation that transfor..."

Gym-Anything for Robotics: Scaling physical simulations with digital agents

"Realistic, fast robotics simulations could enable large-scale training of embodied AI models that transfer to the real world. However, despite decades of progress, available simulations cover only a narrow range of real-world tasks and physical phenomena. The core bottleneck is that creating better..."

On the Fundamental Limits of Prefill-Based Decoding Length Prediction

"Predicting how many tokens a large language model (LLM) will decode, using only prefill-phase hidden states, is a key primitive for inference scheduling. We show that current benchmarks conflate predictor quality with task hardness: when the target model, dataset, or sampling configuration changes,..."

VeriCUA: Verification as Agentic Exploration for Computer-Using Agents

"Building and scaling computer-using agents (CUAs) across desktop, mobile, and web environments requires reliable task-completion verification for data curation, evaluation, and reinforcement learning. Typical automated approaches prompt vision-language models (VLMs) to judge trajectories or generate..."

From extreme weather to agricultural consequences with agentic AI

The Agents Already Have Network Access

An unsupervised Claude agent on a DOD network, a $63B chip-financing vehicle, and a rush to codify values all point the same direction: the industry is scaling agent deployment faster than it can secure or govern it, and the S-1 says so.
