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 …
Portable mobile-manipulation demonstrations can help alleviate data scarcity for embodied intelligence, but obtaining reliable, low-cost, and robot-free motion supervision from RGB observations remains challenging. Existing approaches often rely on teleoperation or specialized devices equipped with additional sensing h …
Recursive language-model agents decompose tasks and delegate subtasks to child instances of the same policy, forming a tree of work. Training them, however, is hard: the final outcome is verifiable, but the self-invented intermediate subtasks are numerous and carry no ground truth. Existing methods score each node with …
Security workflows need models that turn complex observations and explicit policies into decisions. System One models introduced by Jev return typed predictions and probabilities; security specialization supplies the domain expertise behind those predictions. We introduce SecJev, to our knowledge the first family of Je …
Query-aware keyframe selection enables multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to process long videos using only a small set of question-relevant frames. Existing score-based methods, however, typically search within a fixed, uniformly sampled candidate pool, preventing evidence outside this pool from ever being selec …
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) has attracted growing interest as a promising approach to improve the reasoning ability of language models. Without external rewards nor a separate stronger teacher, the self-teacher with privileged information could provide dense signals on student's trajectories. However, its behavi …
To advance the development of embodied intelligence, Open-Environment Active 3D Mapping has attracted increasing attention, aiming to perform a long-horizon and shortest trajectory exploration for reconstructing unseen scenarios. Since only limited information about unseen environments is available, methods built on th …
Vision-language models can coordinate long-horizon robot manipulation, yet successful task reasoning still depends on whether local physical interactions produce the intended effects. We study how repeated interaction can improve this capability without updating the base model. We introduce RoboHarn-Evo, a dual-loop ha …
Test-time adaptation for vision-language navigation (TTA-VLN) enables pretrained policies to adapt online to unseen environments using only test-time observations and interaction history. However, distribution shifts can distort local action preferences and lead to off-course decisions. Existing methods rely on predict …
The inference efficiency of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) is severely constrained by massive visual token sequences induced by high-resolution inputs, with computational cost scaling quadratically. Existing approaches primarily focus on downstream token compression, while overlooking a fundamental upstream i …
BF16 is now standard in large-scale pretraining, including in fused attention kernels such as FlashAttention, and these kernels are widely trusted. When we used FlashAttention-3 to pretrain a 450M-parameter transformer on 50B tokens, however, we ran into a problem: training was healthy for 25B tokens, then the gradient …
Federated learning (FL) in healthcare remains challenging, as the overhead of rebuilding governance guarantees for every collaboration stops most projects at the proof-of-concept stage. Here we present FLIP (Federated Learning Interoperability Platform), an open-source, multi-application platform that makes FL training …
Vision-language models (VLMs) answer visual questions by combining visual information extraction with downstream problem solving. We investigate a fundamental question: Does an incorrect answer necessarily reflect a failure in visual extraction or problem solving? A model may succeed at both abilities when tested separ …
Robot-policy benchmarks increasingly cover diverse tasks and preset out-of-distribution conditions, but typically evaluate complete trajectories from predefined initial states. These evaluations often focus on the initialized scene and the final outcome, while paying less attention to the dynamic interaction process. D …
Physical AI aims to build embodied agents that perceive the world, understand and reason about it, and decide how to act. Yet the field has focused primarily on the last component: the action model that maps observations to low-level controls. The prevailing training recipe can erode the perceptual and reasoning capabi …
