Latent Sparse Attention: Towards Subquadratic Ultra-Long Context Attention

"Agentic workflows are increasingly shifting towards long-horizon tasks, such as open-ended scientific work, where models benefit from long context windows. However, at ultra-long context (above 1M tokens), full attention is prohibitively expensive. A promising approach is sparse attention, in which..."

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..."

Subquadratic Attention with a Hierarchical Tree-Structured Indexer

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

CRoS: Causality Reward on Scrambled CoTs Improves Accuracy and Reasoning Faithfulness

"Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become the standard method for training language models to reason. However, RLVR typically relies solely on outcome correctness, which does not guarantee that the CoT causally contributes to the final answer. Without this connection, outcome..."

ShallowDefend: Harnessing Shallow Safety Alignment for Multi-Turn Defender

Asynchronous Flow Map Language Models

Flide: Accelerating Decision Inference with Exact State Forking

PIVOT: Progressive Intervention via Online Teacher Correction

"Reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) is limited by sparse outcome-level feedback on hard reasoning tasks: when all rollouts in a group fail, rewards provide no learning signal. Stronger teachers can provide additional guidance, but this raises a central question: how can such signal..."

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

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..."

How Much Can Tool Calls Reveal About You? Privacy Leakage from Tool-Call Traces

DecisionRank: On-Policy Distillation for Decision-Model Rerankers

RoboArchitect: Automating the Design of Robotic Agents with Persistent Memory

On the Fundamental Limits of Prefill-Based Decoding Length Prediction

The Knowledge Layer Model (KLM): Evidence-Visible AI Output, Routing Diagnostics, and Negative Results

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.
