Time-series anomaly detection (TSAD) identifies deviations from patterns learned from historical data. In non-stationary settings, distribution drift and true anomalies can cause similar local changes, making it difficult to tell whether a deviation reflects abnormality or evolving context. Existing methods typically a …
Practical Muon maintains momentum and performs a small, fixed number of Newton--Schulz iterations separately for each parameter matrix, often with a Nesterov correction. We analyze these layer-wise finite-step updates jointly on a coupled nonconvex objective, rather than replacing them by exact polar factors or one glo …
We present AREX-2, an effort to advance the self-improving capability of LLM agents, which we define as the ability to iteratively refine a solution at test time. This ability rests on two complementary capabilities: reflection, which produces a solution better than the current one, and long-horizon execution, which ke …
Reliable multi-hop reasoning requires more than locally supported steps: a trace can be sound at every reasoning step yet still fail to answer the question as a whole. We call this failure regime the local-global gap (LGG), in which the trace is locally sound yet globally insufficient. Local soundness requires each ste …
Natural audio-visual interaction is emerging as an important interface for AI assistants, allowing users to communicate through speech and vision rather than carefully composed text prompts. However, existing benchmarks of interactive capabilities still focus primarily on response quality, leaving a more fundamental qu …
We introduce NemotronLabs VoiceChat, an open full-duplex speech-to-speech model with native tool-calling capabilities. NemotronLabs VoiceChat combines a streaming speech encoder and decoder-only language model with parallel specialized output streams for agent text and structured function calls, an auxiliary RNN-T bran …
Lifelong conversational agents rely on memory systems to maintain deep, context-aware interactions with users. However, existing explicit textual memory pipelines suffer from a severe information bottleneck, often losing subtle behavioral patterns and emotional shifts. Furthermore, being typically static post-deploymen …
Recent advancements in large language models have significantly enhanced the capabilities of agents in modeling long-term conversations. Despite these successes, existing approaches typically adopt a static heuristic paradigm, where information is passively archived without adaptive memory valuation. Consequently, thes …
