Vision-language-action models have reshaped autonomous driving to incorporate languages into the decision-making process. However, most existing pipelines only utilize the language modality for scene descriptions or reasoning and lack the flexibility to follow diverse user instructions for personalized driving. To address this, we first construct a large-scale driving dataset (InstructScene) containing around 100,000 scenes annotated with diverse driving instructions with the corresponding traje...

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have achieved near-human accuracy on curated benchmarks, yet still fail in real-world voice agents under conditions that current evaluations do not systematically cover. Without diagnostic tools that isolate specific failure factors, practitioners cannot anticipate which conditions, in which languages, will cause what degree of degradation. We introduce WildASR, a multilingual (four-language) diagnostic benchmark sourced entirely from real human speech ...

We introduce Voxtral TTS, an expressive multilingual text-to-speech model that generates natural speech from as little as 3 seconds of reference audio. Voxtral TTS adopts a hybrid architecture that combines auto-regressive generation of semantic speech tokens with flow-matching for acoustic tokens. These tokens are encoded and decoded with Voxtral Codec, a speech tokenizer trained from scratch with a hybrid VQ-FSQ quantization scheme. In human evaluations conducted by native speakers, Voxtral TT...

Interest in the concept of AI-driven harmful manipulation is growing, yet current approaches to evaluating it are limited. This paper introduces a framework for evaluating harmful AI manipulation via context-specific human-AI interaction studies. We illustrate the utility of this framework by assessing an AI model with 10,101 participants spanning interactions in three AI use domains (public policy, finance, and health) and three locales (US, UK, and India). Overall, we find that that the tested...

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection aims to identify samples that deviate from in-distribution (ID). One popular pipeline addresses this by introducing negative labels distant from ID classes and detecting OOD based on their distance to these labels. However, such labels may present poor activation on OOD samples, failing to capture the OOD characteristics. To address this, we propose \underline{T}est-time \underline{A}ctivated \underline{N}egative \underline{L}abels (TANL) by dynamically evalua...

Large language models and autonomous agents are increasingly explored for EDA automation, but many existing integrations still rely on script-level or request-level interactions, which makes it difficult to preserve tool state and support iterative optimization in real production-oriented environments. In this work, we present FluxEDA, a unified and stateful infrastructure substrate for agentic EDA. FluxEDA introduces a managed gateway-based execution interface with structured request and respon...

Multimodal large language models are promising for clinical visual question answering tasks, but scaling to 3D imaging is hindered by high computational costs. Prior methods often rely on 2D slices or fixed-length token compression, disrupting volumetric continuity and obscuring subtle findings. We present Photon, a framework that represents 3D medical volumes with token sequences of variable length. Photon introduces instruction-conditioned token scheduling and surrogate gradient propagation to...

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems face significant challenges in complex reasoning, multi-hop queries, and domain-specific QA. While existing GraphRAG frameworks have made progress in structural knowledge organization, they still have limitations in cross-industry adaptability, community report integrity, and retrieval performance. This paper proposes UniAI-GraphRAG, an enhanced framework built upon open-source GraphRAG. The framework introduces three core innovations: (1) Ontology-Gu...

Multi-Behavior Recommendation (MBR) leverages multiple user interaction types (e.g., views, clicks, purchases) to enrich preference modeling and alleviate data sparsity issues in traditional single-behavior approaches. However, existing MBR methods face fundamental challenges: they lack principled frameworks to model complex confounding effects from user behavioral habits and item multi-behavior distributions, struggle with effective aggregation of heterogeneous auxiliary behaviors, and fail to ...

Given a question, a language model (LM) implicitly encodes a distribution over possible answers. In practice, post-training procedures for LMs often collapse this distribution onto a single dominant mode. While this is generally not a problem for benchmark-style evaluations that assume one correct answer, many real-world tasks inherently involve multiple valid answers or irreducible uncertainty. Examples include medical diagnosis, ambiguous question answering, and settings with incomplete inform...

Autonomous mobile GUI agents have attracted increasing attention along with the advancement of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). However, existing methods still suffer from inefficient learning from failed trajectories and ambiguous credit assignment under sparse rewards for long-horizon GUI tasks. To that end, we propose UI-Voyager, a novel two-stage self-evolving mobile GUI agent. In the first stage, we employ Rejection Fine-Tuning (RFT), which enables the continuous co-evolution of da...

Computer-use agents (CUAs) hold great promise for automating complex desktop workflows, yet progress toward general-purpose agents is bottlenecked by the scarcity of continuous, high-quality human demonstration videos. Recent work emphasizes that continuous video, not sparse screenshots, is the critical missing ingredient for scaling these agents. However, the largest existing open dataset, ScaleCUA, contains only 2 million screenshots, equating to less than 20 hours of video. To address this bo...

Document parsing is a fine-grained task where image resolution significantly impacts performance. While advanced research leveraging vision-language models benefits from high-resolution input to boost model performance, this often leads to a quadratic increase in the number of vision tokens and significantly raises computational costs. We attribute this inefficiency to substantial visual regions redundancy in document images, like background. To tackle this, we propose PaddleOCR-VL, a novel coar...

We introduce Intern-S1-Pro, the first one-trillion-parameter scientific multimodal foundation model. Scaling to this unprecedented size, the model delivers a comprehensive enhancement across both general and scientific domains. Beyond stronger reasoning and image-text understanding capabilities, its intelligence is augmented with advanced agent capabilities. Simultaneously, its scientific expertise has been vastly expanded to master over 100 specialized tasks across critical science fields, incl...

Recent work shows that standard greedy-decoding extraction methods for quantifying memorization in LLMs miss how extraction risk varies across sequences. Probabilistic extraction -- computing the probability of generating a target suffix given a prefix under a decoding scheme -- addresses this, but is tractable only for verbatim memorization, missing near-verbatim instances that pose similar privacy and copyright risks. Quantifying near-verbatim extraction risk is expensive: the set of near-verb...

We introduce DreamerAD, the first latent world model framework that enables efficient reinforcement learning for autonomous driving by compressing diffusion sampling from 100 steps to 1 - achieving 80x speedup while maintaining visual interpretability. Training RL policies on real-world driving data incurs prohibitive costs and safety risks. While existing pixel-level diffusion world models enable safe imagination-based training, they suffer from multi-step diffusion inference latency (2s/frame)...

Network pruning, which removes less important parameters or architectures, is often expected to improve efficiency while preserving performance. However, this expectation does not consistently hold across language tasks: pruned models can perform well on non-generative tasks but frequently fail in generative settings. To understand this discrepancy, we analyze network pruning from a representation-hierarchy perspective, decomposing the internal computation of language models into three sequentia...

While large-scale pretraining has revolutionized language modeling, its potential remains underexplored in healthcare with structured electronic health records (EHRs). We present RAVEN, a novel generative pretraining strategy for sequential EHR data based on Recurrence-Aware next-Visit EveNt prediction. Leveraging a dataset of over one million unique individuals, our model learns to autoregressively generate tokenized clinical events for the next visit conditioned on patient history. We introduc...

Agentic Variation Operators (AVO) are a new family of evolutionary variation operators that replace the fixed mutation, crossover, and hand-designed heuristics of classical evolutionary search with autonomous coding agents. Rather than confining a language model to candidate generation within a prescribed pipeline, AVO instantiates variation as a self-directed agent loop that can consult the current lineage, a domain-specific knowledge base, and execution feedback to propose, repair, critique, a...

Composer 2 is a specialized model designed for agentic software engineering. The model demonstrates strong long-term planning and coding intelligence while maintaining the ability to efficiently solve problems for interactive use. The model is trained in two phases: first, continued pretraining to improve the model's knowledge and latent coding ability, followed by large-scale reinforcement learning to improve end-to-end coding performance through stronger reasoning, accurate multi-step executio...

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for improving large language models beyond supervised fine-tuning, yet sustaining performance gains at scale remains an open challenge, as data diversity and structure, rather than volume alone, become the limiting factor. We address this by introducing a scalable multi-turn synthetic data generation pipeline in which a teacher model iteratively refines problems based on in-context student performance summaries, producing structured ...

Recently, reinforcement learning~(RL) has become an important approach for improving the capabilities of large language models~(LLMs). In particular, reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards~(RLVR) has emerged as a promising paradigm for reasoning tasks. However, existing RL-based training still remains only a rough approximation to human learning. Human learners leverage both external and internal experience to guide exploration and gradually internalize useful trajectories into stable kn...
