In diffusion transformers, a class label or a text prompt is embedded once, and the same condition is reused at every denoising step. We ask whether predicted embeddings can serve as this condition instead. Next-Embedding Predictive Autoregression (NEPA) trains a Transformer to predict the next continuous embedding in …
Best-of-$N$ is a widely used inference strategy for complex reasoning, whose effectiveness depends on whether sampled candidates can cover diverse and high-quality reasoning paths. However, post-trained reasoning models often suffer from \emph{exploration collapse}, where independent rollouts repeatedly follow similar …
Large-scale vision-language-action (VLA) models provide powerful priors for robot manipulation, yet adapting them to a specific deployment remains challenging. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on task-specific demonstrations provides a step toward deployment, but faces two persistent limitations: static data provide limite …
