We propose that current architectures operate in a "Metric Phase," where causal order is vulnerable to spontaneous symmetry breaking.

"Large vision-language models (VLMs) are highly capable, yet often hallucinate by favoring textual prompts over visual evidence. We study this failure mode in a controlled object-counting setting, where the prompt overstates the number of objects in the image (e.g., asking a model to describe four wa..."

"LLM-as-a-Judge has revolutionized AI evaluation by leveraging large language models for scalable assessments.
