Video interactive storytelling enables viewers to actively steer how a video unfolds. However, once we allow viewers to intervene during generation, a new challenge arises: The viewer's request can have latent dependencies on both the grounding source and the current rendered video state. These dependencies may not be …
Using frontier agent harnesses to tackle mathematical research problems has emerged as an effective means of advancing mathematics. However, solving frontier problems in mathematics may require a massive number of agents working in parallel for extended periods to construct proofs, thereby generating an enormous volume …
Real-world time series are frequently driven by exogenous events and structural shifts, rendering conventional forecasting based solely on historical numerical observations insufficient. While language models can retrieve external news, standard retrieval-augmented approaches struggle with high noise, missing signals, …
Cross-lingual contrastive learning has been a core component of multilingual encoder training, but the ability to explicitly align representations is not possible in decoder-only LLMs because of varying multilingual tokenization. However, a growing amount of research suggests that even in LLMs, higher cross-lingual rep …
Vision-language models (VLMs) may accept false visual premises, answering questions about a target object's color, count, location, or state even when it is absent. We call this reliability-critical behavior a target-absence grounding failure. Existing visual-grounding detectors primarily rely on generated responses, h …
In response to the growing demand for long sequences in agentic and reasoning use cases, many state-of-the-art LLMs combine multiple variants of attention to mitigate the quadratic complexity of traditional softmax attention. These hybrid attention LLMs aim to balance the strengths and limitations of full attention and …
Multiple-choice and candidate-selection evaluations are widely used to assess LLM reasoning and decision-making, yet most benchmarks contain relatively small candidate sets. It remains unclear whether conclusions drawn from these settings remain valid as the candidate space scales. We systematically evaluate LLMs as th …
Test-time scaling with parallel branches is widely adopted to improve performance on challenging reasoning tasks. The predominant approach, repeated sampling, draws branches independently from a single policy, which can produce redundant attempts and thereby limit the gains from additional inference compute. To address …
