πŸ‘₯ Authors: Jingbo Zhou (possible past Baidu (China) affiliation), Yusai Zhao, Qi Bao, Jingjia Cao, Zhenghai Chen, Chang Gao, Kaiqi Guo, Muxin Guo, Mingxuan Li, Xinjiang Lu, Yanru Ma, Yixiong Xiao (possible past Tsinghua University affiliation), Zenghui Zhang, Le Zhang, Hua Wu (possible past Baidu (China) affiliation)
Abstract

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to assist users in completing tasks. However, existing benchmarks provide limited support for evaluating whether agents can carry out office-suite workflows at a reasonable cost. We introduce OmegaUse-OfficeVal, a benchmark for evaluating LLM agents on long-horizon office-suite tasks with task-level economic grounding. The benchmark comprises 100 tasks derived from office-suite requests proposed by practitioners and adapted through a pr...

πŸ“„ Scores Are Not Decisions: Cost-Aware Stopping for Tool Acquisition in LLM Agents
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.27083v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Yicheng Feng, Yan Zhang, Yan Cheng (possible past Nvidia (United States) affiliation), Wei Qi (possible past Baidu (China) affiliation)
Abstract

As LLM agents increasingly depend on diverse external services such as search engines, databases, and connectors, agent harnesses face a fundamental tool-selection challenge: acquiring too few tools leaves the task under-informed, while too many adds cost, context load, and privacy exposure. Routers and retrievers can rank candidate tools by relevance, but a ranking alone does not determine how many are worth selecting. Existing approaches leave acquisition under heterogeneous costs unaddressed....

πŸ“„ BayesAME: Bayesian Active Model Evaluation
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.27023v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Paula Cordero Encinar, Taylan Cemgil, Arnaud Doucet (possible past University Of Oxford affiliation), Virginia Aglietti, Silvia Chiappa (possible past Deepmind (United Kingdom) affiliation)
Abstract

Evaluating large generative models across benchmarks is time-consuming and computationally expensive. This drives the need for methods that can estimate full benchmark performance by evaluating models on only a subset of items, known as a coreset. Current literature mostly requires the practitioner to input a coreset size. However, when reliable performance estimation takes priority over efficiency, an evaluation method should also be capable of automatically determining a coreset size that refl...

πŸ“„ BioVLN: A Simulation Platform for Visual Language Navigation in Biomedical Laboratories
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26914v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Zhe Liu, Quan Lu, Zhaohui Du, Zhe Wang (possible past Deepmind (United Kingdom) affiliation), Huanbo Jin, Jiaming Gu, Qi Wang (possible past Tsinghua University affiliation), Ting Xiao, Minting Pan, Dongzhan Zhou
Abstract

Biomedical laboratory robots must navigate to instruments before performing experimental procedures. Existing embodied navigation platforms are designed for household environments and treat a target as an object center or an arbitrary nearby position. This representation is inadequate for laboratory instruments, which must be approached from their operating side while maintaining safe clearance from surrounding equipment. We introduce BioVLN, a simulation platform for developing and evaluating v...

πŸ“„ From Representations to Behaviors: Exploring the Person-Situation-Behavior Triad in LLMs
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26853v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Ruikang Zhang, Shuo Wang (possible past Nvidia (United States) affiliation), Qi Su (possible past Stanford University affiliation)
Abstract

Human personality theories characterize traits not as isolated attributes captured by a single score, but as stable individual tendencies expressed through the interplay among persons, situations, and behaviors. Existing studies of personality-related behavior in LLMs have primarily focused on outputs elicited under personality conditioning, characterizing observable trait-related expressions while lacking mechanistic evidence for the existence of internal personality-related representations, th...

πŸ“„ UrbanDS: A Graph-Guided LLM Multi-Agent System for Data-Intensive Urban Tasks
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26724v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Zhilun Zhou, Jianghao Yu, Yuming Lin, Yongjun Yang, Sun Yongquan, Depeng Jin (possible past Tsinghua University affiliation), Yong Li (possible past Tsinghua University affiliation)
Abstract

Large language model (LLM) agents have been widely applied in automating data science tasks. However, existing methods typically rely on a limited set of provided datasets, and they face challenges in data-intensive scenarios that require discovering and leveraging relevant information from large-scale and heterogeneous data repositories. Urban tasks are representative examples of such scenarios, as urban data are not only large-scale and multi-sourced, but also exhibit complex spatial, temporal...

πŸ“„ Graph Is the Verifier: Agentic Reinforcement Learning for Interprocedural Vulnerability Detection
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26656v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Yikun Li, Ting Zhang (possible past Meta (United States) affiliation), Jiakun Liu, Jinfeng Jiang, Yuheng Yieh, Yixin Yang, Wen Bin Leow, Yide Yin, Yintong Huo, Eng Lieh Ouh, Lwin Khin Shar, David Lo (possible past Stanford University affiliation)
Abstract

Real-world vulnerabilities often span multiple functions, yet most learning-based detectors classify each function in isolation: on a sample of real CVEs, we find that 71.7% of vulnerable functions require evidence from outside the function to be classified correctly. Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) could close this gap by enabling a model to gather that evidence itself, but it lacks a reliable reward, since a reward defined on the final verdict alone can be obtained without performing any i...

πŸ“„ Filesystem-Based Memory for LLM Agents: Organization, Evolution, and Sustainability
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26637v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Sizhe Zhou, Sheldon Yu, Hui Wei, Junda Wu, Siru Ouyang, Yizhu Jiao, Shijia Pan, Julian Mcauley, Yu Zhang (possible past Google (United States) affiliation), Tong Yu (possible past Carnegie Mellon University affiliation), Jiawei Han (possible past Google (United States) affiliation)
Abstract

Deployed LLM agents increasingly keep their long-term memory as a filesystem: a directory tree of markdown files that the agent itself reads, writes, and reorganizes through generic file tools. Yet research has largely passed over this medium: prior systems design bespoke memory representations and study retrieval over them, leaving the default's two working assumptions untested: that an agent can keep a growing store organized as memories accumulate, conflict, and go stale, and that this organi...

πŸ“„ ServerlessT2I: Efficient Text-to-Image Workflow Serving on a Serverless Platform
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26566v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Xiaoxiao Jiang, Suyi Li (possible past Google (United States) affiliation), Sheng Yao, Tianyu Feng, Lingyun Yang, Dapeng Nie, Haoran Yang, Wei Wang (possible past University Of Oxford affiliation)
Abstract

Text-to-image (T2I) workflows are increasingly deployed on serverless platforms because users often compose customized workflows and invoke them intermittently. Existing platforms typically deploy each workflow as an opaque GPU function, provisioning, placing, and scaling all constituent models in the workflow together. This monolithic design obscures workflow structure, inflates scaling overhead, forces users to manage low-level GPU coordination, and limits fine-grained fairness in multi-tenant...

πŸ“„ CG-World: A Large-Scale World-State Dataset and Protocol for World Models
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26452v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Yiming Cai, Fangjie Yu, Meiqing Yu, Ziyue Shi, Pengfei Yuan (possible past Baidu (China) affiliation), Yong Guo (possible past Baidu (China) affiliation)
Abstract

World models must learn the joint dynamics of states, actions, events, and observations, yet existing video, robotics, and simulation datasets usually capture only part of this structure. We introduce CG-World, a large-scale world-state dataset and protocol derived from industrial computer graphics production pipelines. CG-World explicitly records intermediate states, including multimodal semantics, spatial structure, skeletal and controller states, motion curves, camera and lighting parameters,...

πŸ“„ CaM-Wolf: Causal-Aware Multimodal Agents for Social Deduction Games
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26393v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Zheng Zhang, Nanjie Yao, Jiarui He, Deheng Ye (possible past Tencent (China) affiliation), Peilin Zhao (possible past Tencent (China) affiliation), Hao Wang (possible past Tsinghua University affiliation)
Abstract

Social deduction games (SDGs) such as Werewolf have become challenging testbeds for AI agents. These games require complex social skills such as reasoning, deception, and collaboration. While recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have driven significant progress in SDG agents, current approaches are predominantly text-based, overlooking the multimodal nature that is fundamental to human social interaction. To bridge this gap, we introduce CaM-Wolf, the first SDG agent that integrates m...

πŸ“„ Towards Trustworthy Embodied Intelligence: A Systems Framework and Graded Trustworthiness Levels
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/28/2026

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Xinyu Yang, Tianxing Chen, Honghao Su, Minxuan Wang, Chenze Yu, Zhangzheng Tu, Yue Chen (possible past Google (United States) affiliation), Yuxiao Huo, Lingfeng Zhang, Yan Huang (possible past Tencent (China) affiliation), Yan Qin, Shaolong Zhu, Qiwei Liang, Hekun Tian, Shujia Liu, Guangyu Chen (possible past Microsoft (United States) affiliation), Junhao Gong, Zixuan Li, Wenwei Lin, Zijian Lin, Wenxuan Zhu, Eric J Chen, Yue Yuan, Qize Yu, Jiaqi Liang, Haowen Yan, Hengfei Zhao, Weijie Wan, Zikun Xiao, Junyuan Tang, Baijun Chen, Kai-Chong Lei, Kaixuan Wang, Kailun Su, Zanxin Chen, Yao Mu, Renjing Xu, Chuqiao Lyu, Qi Xiong, Ping Luo (possible past Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory affiliation), Wenbo Ding (possible past Tsinghua University affiliation)
Abstract

Embodied intelligence integrates learned perception and decision making with real-time computation, control, and physical interaction. Because failures can cause immediate physical or operational harm, task completion alone does not establish trustworthiness. We define trustworthy embodied intelligence as the sustained capacity to execute specified tasks reliably under environmental and system variation while maintaining risk within acceptable bounds. We term this objective sustained safe succes...

πŸ“„ MODUS: Decoder-Only Any-to-Any Modeling of Diverse Modalities
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/28/2026

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Mingqiao Ye, Zhaochong An, Zhitong Gao, Xian Liu, FranΓ§ois Fleuret, Chuan Li, Amir Zadeh, Serge Belongie (possible past Google (United States) affiliation), Afshin Dehghan, Jesse Allardice, David Mizrahi, Oğuzhan Fatih Kar, Roman Bachmann, Amir Zamir (possible past University Of California, Berkeley affiliation)
Abstract

Any-to-any models predict any modality from any combination of others within a single network, a formulation used in multimodal vision and vision-language models, and increasingly in scientific domains such as ecology and astronomy. Existing any-to-any models are typically trained from scratch using encoder-decoder or diffusion architectures, impacting their performance and preventing them from using strong pre-trained decoder-only models as a prior. In this work, we investigate decoder-only any...

πŸ“„ Evaluating Multi-Turn Multimodal Diagnostic Reasoning on Challenging Real-World Clinical Cases
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/28/2026

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Rui Yang, Weihao Xuan, Yi Lin, Zhuhan Bao, Jonathan Chong Kai Liew, Matthew Yu Heng Wong, NicolΓ‘s Lescano, Nikita R. Paripati, Emily Ling-Lin Pai, Jiarui Liu, Heli Qi, Heng-Jui Chang, Benny Kai Guo Loo, Huitao Li, Kunyu Yu, Yufan Wang, Chuan Hong, Shijian Lu, Douglas Teodoro, Naoto Yokoya, Ross Koppel, Mona Diab (possible past Carnegie Mellon University affiliation), Hua Xu, David W. Bates, Nan Liu, Yifan Peng (possible past Stanford University affiliation)
Abstract

Clinical diagnostic evaluation should not only assess whether models can provide correct diagnoses, but also reflect the realities of clinical practice, including progressive disclosure of multimodal information, dynamic updating of diagnostic hypotheses, and continuous refinement of clinical reasoning. However, existing evaluations of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) typically rely on single-turn or isolated tasks, making it difficult to fully capture the complexity of real-world clinic...

πŸ“„ GPT-Red: Automated Red Teaming via Self-Play at Scale

Abstract

We introduce \textbf{GPT-Red}, an automated red-teaming agent that is trained to discover novel prompt injection attacks against frontier LLMs. The goal of this model is to evaluate and improve the robustness of our production systems. To this end, we use it to adversarially train GPT-5.6, our most robust model to prompt injections to date. To create GPT-Red, we design a scalable self-play algorithm where the model is tasked with attacking a diverse population of simultaneously-trained defender ...

πŸ“„ A Machine-Learning-Based Gas Lift Optimization Workflow for Unconventional Fields

Abstract

In this paper, we present an automated data-driven workflow using Machine Learning (ML) for gas lift optimization in unconventional fields. This workflow integrates a ML model that accurately forecasts the Gas Lift Performance Curve, and a Bayesian Optimization Framework to solve for the optimal gas injection rates under the constraints of facility capacity. The ML model leverages the historical production time series data without requiring downhole gauges or multi-rate well tests. We piloted th...

πŸ“„ HiSkill: Empowering LLM Agents with Hierarchical Skill Graphs
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/28/2026

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Yu Hao, Jinxuan Cai, Qi Zhang (possible past Tencent (China) affiliation), Yawen Li, Zhiqiang Zhang, Chuan Shi, Cheng Yang (possible past Tsinghua University affiliation)
Abstract

Skills have become an important abstraction for enabling large language model (LLM) agents to reuse past experience in long-horizon interactive tasks. However, existing trajectory-to-skill methods often produce flat collections of high-level textual skills that are stored and retrieved independently, leaving skill relations underutilized and maintaining a gap between high-level skills and executable actions. In this paper, we propose HiSkill, a hierarchical skill graph framework that organizes i...

πŸ“„ Cognivia: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Copilot for Evidence-Based Mental Healthcare

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Qi Chen (possible past Baidu (China) affiliation), Siria Xiyueyao Luo, Jian Wang (possible past Baidu (China) affiliation), Yuan Shi, Haocong Rao, Xuejiao Zhao
Abstract

Cognitive distortion amplifies negative emotions and contributes to mental health disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective way to address cognitive distortions, but its large-scale application is limited by the shortage of professional therapists. Although large language models (LLMs) have recently been explored for mental health applications, existing methods still suffer from limited domain specificity, overly flattering responses, and the absence of well-defined annotatio...

πŸ“„ DecoEvo: Score-Decoupled Co-Evolution of Solver and Rubric-Generator Skills in Text Space

Abstract

Text-space optimization adapts large language models (LLMs) by editing external natural-language artifacts rather than model weights, so the optimized artifacts remain inspectable and the model can be treated as a black box. However, most existing text-space methods keep evaluation fixed. On open-ended tasks, this can become a bottleneck: once the solver improves on the criteria a rubric measures, omitted dimensions remain invisible to the optimization signal. Simply evolving the rubric is also ...

πŸ“„ Amortized Moment Matching for Visual Generation
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Wenze Liu, Xintao Wang (possible past Tencent (China) affiliation), Pengfei Wan, Xiangyu Yue (possible past University Of California, Berkeley affiliation)
Abstract

We propose amortized moment matching, utilizing neural networks to learn data moments as distributional training signals. By casting diffusion denoisers through polynomial projections, we establish a general framework for moment amortization, revealing that an $n$-th degree projection explicitly identifies data moments up to order $n+1$. Derived from the tractable affine case, we instantiate the Amortized FrΓ©chet Distance (AMFD) loss. Unlike FD-loss which relies on explicit marginal moment calcu...

Abstract

Recent advances in AI agents have increasingly internalized native capabilities into their underlying foundation models, giving rise to multimodal foundation models and large reasoning models. However, agent memory is still primarily implemented through external modules, leaving the native memory capability largely unexplored. In this paper, we take a first step toward this direction by introducing memory foundation models, which empower foundation models with native memory capabilities. We form...

πŸ“„ From Interface to Inference: Eliciting Any-Order Inference from Any-Order Models
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026
πŸ”— http://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26504v1
πŸ‘₯ Authors: Seunggeun Kim, Jaeyeon Kim, Taekyun Lee, Yuyuan Chen, Yilun Du (possible past Massachusetts Institute Of Technology affiliation), Sham Kakade, Sitan Chen (possible past University Of California, Berkeley affiliation)
Abstract

Many discrete reasoning tasks, such as code generation, are inherently non-causal: programmers move between high-level structure and local details, a process we call any-order inference. For autoregressive language models, which lack a native any-order interface, non-causal abilities such as infilling and next-edit prediction require hand-designed mechanisms. Can we instead design models that natively support any-order inference? Masked diffusion models have recently emerged as compelling candid...

πŸ“„ Knowledge before Reasoning: EC-Reason-Bench, a Training-Free Diagnostic Benchmark for LLM Enzyme Classification
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/29/2026

Abstract

Enzyme function prediction is a hierarchical, knowledge-intensive form of protein function classification. Existing benchmarks expose an anomaly: general LLMs often get the coarse first level right, yet once asked for a complete EC number their accuracy at levels two through four drops to almost zero, while specialized models and tools stay usable. We propose EC-Reason-Bench, a training-free, diagnostic evaluation protocol built to answer two questions: why general LLMs score close to nothing on...

πŸ“„ Incast-Free MoE Rate-Based Scheduling

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Evyatar Cohen, Jose Yallouz, Alexander Shpiner, Mark Silberstein (possible past Technion – Israel Institute Of Technology affiliation), Sylvia Ratnasamy (possible past University Of California, Berkeley affiliation), Isaac Keslassy
Abstract

Mixture of Experts (MoE) architectures have become key to large language models; however, their typical round-robin (RR) scheduling introduces significant bottlenecks. In this paper, we demonstrate that RR causes a previously-undiscovered exponential incast phenomenon with MoE traffic. We propose an alternative proactive fair scheduling framework tailored for MoE workloads, which effectively prevents fabric oversubscription. We also outline how it can be implemented in NICs. Finally, through e...

πŸ“„ Weak-to-Strong On-Policy Distillation
πŸ—“οΈ Published: 7/28/2026

πŸ‘₯ Authors: Fangxu Yu, Zinan Lin, Xiaodong Liu, Weijia Xu, Michael Xu, Tianyi Zhou (possible past University Of Washington affiliation), Jianfeng Gao (possible past Microsoft (United States) affiliation)
Abstract

On-policy distillation (OPD), which aligns a student with the teacher's token-level distribution on the student's own rollouts, is an effective paradigm for transferring capabilities across LLMs. Prevailing approaches assume a teacher at least as capable as the student: they either distill a larger model into a smaller one, which fails at the frontier where no larger teacher exists, or consolidate multiple domain experts trained from a shared base, which requires costly training at the student's...
