Pairwise Preference Automatic Metrics General
  • Centering better resolves subset diversity but loses this useful token-wise preference, revealing that diversity and distinctiveness are entangled in the raw geometry.
  • Based on this analysis, we propose the Centered Geometry Pruner (Cen-Prune), which measures subset diversity using centered cosine similarity while retaining raw-space distinctiveness as a complementary token-wise preference.

On the Design of Qwen3.8-Next Architecture: Evaluation, Efficiency, and Training Stability

Automatic Metrics General
  • On fourteen pre-training benchmarks the model leads the 397B-A17B predecessor on eight and trails it on the rest by at most 2.6 points, at 1/3 the activated parameters, 1/3 the training tokens, and roughly 1/9 the training FLOPs.
  • We evaluate every candidate change along three axes: loss together with downstream benchmarks; the cost of the change in training, prefill and decode; and its effect on the optimal hyperparameters and training stability.

  • We show that falsehood is not necessary -- a search agent can be misled by factual evidence for a nearby question, adopting that nearby answer even when it does not answer the current question.
  • Across 12 model-benchmark pairs, nearby evidence reduces accuracy by 5.9 points on average and by up to 17.3 points, while inducing nearby-answer adoption in every setting.

Automatic Metrics General
  • The disagreement penalty is neither a tail-event probability nor a guaranteed error bound, and it provides no safety guarantee.
  • Across 175 runs with shared tasks, costs, budgets, training steps, and evaluation seeds, no comparator attains both higher mean return and lower mean CVaR than BCPPO in any task.

Expert Verification Long Horizon General
  • The unprecedented surge in Earth observation data volume and diversity has exposed a critical bottleneck for traditional manual workflows, catalyzing the emergence of Remote Sensing (RS) Agents.
  • However, the practical deployment of these advanced agents is severely hindered by their heavy reliance on large-scale general-purpose LLMs, which lack deep domain expertise and impose prohibitive infrastructure demands.

One AI Signal, Many Human Judgments: A Bayesian Cascade Analysis of AI-based Credibility Indicators in Online Information Spread

  • Social media platforms increasingly use AI-based credibility indicators to help users judge misinformation.
  • Unlike individual human-AI decision-making, these indicators are embedded in information spread: users see both an AI prediction and earlier judgments shaped by the same AI, and their own judgments may then enter the public history.

Rubric Rating General
  • Professional agent tasks often depend on conventions that are absent from public corpora, yet benchmarks rarely control whether an agent has access to those conventions.
  • Across fifteen calibration tasks, one frontier agent configuration achieves a 68.0% pass rate with the artefact and 0% without it; on one task, a plausible but incorrect artefact also yields 0% across five trials.

  • Inference-time alignment improves safety degraded from specialization finetuning without requiring substantial computational resources, complementing finetuning-based methods with an easy-to-use, plug-and-play solution.
  • To address this problem, we propose CREST, an inference-time alignment method that steers base model hidden representations using safety directions extracted from a guidance model of any family, avoiding token-level structural limitations…

  • We propose Decentralized Barrier Follow-the-Regularized-Leader (Dec-BFTRL), and evaluate each agent's played action against the average of all local objectives.
  • Each agent maps an internal iterate to a feasible action through an approximate gauge projection, communicates only a cumulative surrogate-gradient dual state, and invokes the local HybridNewton procedure to approximately minimize its…
