Reinforcement learning (RL) is the central training paradigm for advancing large foundation models towards self-improvement. This report introduces the MiMo-V2.6 series, an omni-modal family that pushes the frontier of model intelligence by scaling RL compute. Prior to RL, we conduct mid-training on a broad multimodal …
In post-deployment time, inputs to deep learning models may or may not be adversarially patched. Patch robustness certification on such inputs within a patch bound can verify their label benignity and should retain high prediction accuracy. However, existing smoothing-based and masking-based recovery defenders cannot a …
The Mpemba effect challenges the intuition that states closer to equilibrium must relax faster. We ask whether an analogous magic-ordering reversal can occur in the generation of quantum magic (nonstabilizerness), a key resource for universal quantum computation: can a state with less initial magic overtake one with mo …
Collision avoidance among convex bodies is a fundamental problem in robotics. Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) provide a practical framework for real-time safety filtering due to their computational efficiency. For general convex bodies, exact separation measures, such as distance or scaling factor, are typically compu …
Safety-critical Model Predictive Control (MPC) formulations based on Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) often require multiple tuning parameters and may become conservative or difficult to keep feasible, particularly for high-relative-degree constraints. To address these limitations, in this paper we draw inspiration fro …
Passive long-wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral ranging enables distance estimation in low-light and nighttime scenes by exploiting atmospheric absorption features in thermal radiance received through the atmosphere.Joint estimation of temperature, emissivity, and distance is computationally expensive. Reference-range …
This paper presents dynamics-relaxed model predictive control (DR-MPC), a novel MPC formulation for legged locomotion, and a tailored interior-point method (IPM) solver. The formulation combines online optimization feasibility by construction with a contact-aware input parameterization. DR-MPC moves the dynamics equali …
