Pretraining Data Can Be Poisoned through Computational Propaganda

"Poisoning pretraining data can introduce harmful behaviors to LMs that are difficult to detect and mitigate. Prior work on poisoning pretraining data has largely exploited established data sources such as Wikipedia, which do not represent the large scale and heterogeneity typical of pretraining corp..."

MedFailBench: A Clinician-Built Open-Source Benchmark for Medical AI Safety Boundary Inspection

"Most medical AI benchmarks measure whether a model knows the correct answer. MedFailBench asks a different question: which safety boundary failed? We present a clinician-built synthetic benchmark and failure atlas that labels medical AI errors by severity (1--5) and safety gate type (missed urgent e..."

When Words Are Safe But Actions Kill: Probing Physical Danger Beyond Text Safety in Hidden-State Risk Space

"Large language models (LLMs) increasingly serve as high-level planners for embodied agents, where linguistically benign instructions can become unsafe once grounded in the physical world. We study whether this physically grounded danger is the same safety problem as ordinary text-level content dange..."

🎯 AI disclosure requirements β€’ Deceptive advertising practices β€’ Balancing transparency with utility
πŸ’¬ "It's not about AI at all. It's about a blanket ban to prevent deceit when selling a product or service." β€’ "AI stagings warp the room to fit furniture that would 100% certainly not fit there. It's deceptive."

AutoSynthesis: An agentic system for automated meta-analysis

"Evidence synthesis is crucial for turning primary research into reliable knowledge for science, medicine, education, and policy. Yet, quantitative evidence synthesis remains largely manual and difficult to scale. Here, we introduce AutoSynthesis, an end-to-end multi-agent system for automated meta-a..."

T^2MLR: Transformer with Temporal Middle-Layer Recurrence

"Transformer reasoning is limited by autoregressive decoding, which repeat edly compresses rich hidden computation through token space and makes it difficult for intermediate reasoning states to persist across time. We in troduce Transformers with Temporal Middle-Layer Recurrence (T2MLR), a transform..."

Beyond Success Rate: Cost-Aware Evaluation of Offensive and Defensive Security Agents

"Security-agent evaluations commonly measure peak offensive capability under generous inference budgets, emphasizing vulnerability discovery, exploit development, penetration testing, and CTF completion. Such measurements are useful but incomplete: in operational security, every reasoning step, tool..."

On-Policy Delta Distillation

"On-policy distillation is an alternative post-training method in reinforcement learning that alleviates the constraints imposed by reward models by providing token-level supervision from a teacher model. Although on-policy distillation has been studied and applied across various settings, its fundam..."

Bridge Evidence: Static Retrieval Utility Does Not Predict Causal Utility in Multi-Step Agentic Search

"Retrieval systems are trained and evaluated on a static idea of usefulness: hand a document and a question to a reader model, see whether the answer improves, and score the document accordingly. The idea holds up when a document is read on its own. It breaks when a language model works as a search a..."

RoboTTT: Context Scaling for Robot Policies

"Recent robot foundation models operate with single-step or short-history visuomotor context. We introduce Test-Time-Training Robot Policies (RoboTTT), a robot model and training recipe that scale visuomotor context to 8K timesteps, three orders of magnitude beyond state-of-the-art policies, without..."

Mask-Aware Policy Gradients for Diffusion Language Models

"Reinforcement learning has proven effective for improving reasoning in large language models, but extending it to Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLMs) remains challenging due to the intractability of the log-likelihood estimation. Existing approaches approximate this log-likelihood by modeling o..."

SearchOS-V1: Towards Robust Open-Domain Information-Seeking Agent Collaboration

"Recent advances in Tool-Integrated Large Language Models have made web search a core capability of information-seeking agents. However, as interaction histories grow, agents increasingly struggle to track task progress. When search attempts fail to yield useful evidence, current single- and multi-ag..."

In-Place Tokenizer Expansion for Pre-trained LLMs

"A tokenizer fixed at the start of pre-training allocates vocabulary in proportion to the pre-training corpus, reflecting the deployment priorities at that time. When those priorities shift, languages added later are split into many more tokens per word, which can raise latency, compute, and energy c..."
