Specialists Learn Faster: Knowledge Organization in Pre-training Shapes Knowledge Update Efficiency

An ideal (language) model must continually update its knowledge. Existing work largely focuses on making these updates efficient after training. We investigate how the organization of time-varying knowledge during pre-training shapes the efficiency of subsequent updates. Models trained on chronologically ordered knowledge specialize in the most recently encountered knowledge; we call them specialists. In contrast, models trained on the same knowledge in randomly shuffled order perform well across all represented time periods; we call them generalists. Surprisingly, specialists require far fewer update steps than generalists to acquire new knowledge. To explain this advantage, we derive a law from first principles that relates update cost to the model's optimization dynamics and that closely predicts empirical results. Guided by these findings, we design a strategy for organizing pre-training data that preserves stable historical knowledge while enabling efficient updates to current knowledge. We also show that the benefits of temporal knowledge organization extend to real-world pre-trained models and existing knowledge update tools, and generalize to other knowledge orderings.

On the Design Space of Continuous Diffusion Language Models

Continuous diffusion language models (CDLMs) promise to bring the benefits of continuous flow modelling to language, including accelerated sampling and controllable generation. The field has grown rapidly, and the capabilities of CDLMs have begun to rival those of discrete diffusion. Yet, unlike for continuous modalities such as images or videos, our grasp of the levers that matter when training CDLMs remains limited. In this work, we focus on two of these levers, namely self-conditioning and embedding geometry, and shed light on some of the mechanisms behind them, which in turn suggest cheaper and more effective designs. We begin by showing that self-conditioning corrects a train/inference mismatch by exposing the model to inference-like states that are otherwise rare during training. These gains can be recovered without an extra forward pass by a two-level interpolant, coined DoubleCat, which improves TinyGSM accuracy more than threefold. Self-conditioning also aids in recognising tokens dominated by large-norm Gaussians{x2013}an issue known as token identifiability. To address it directly, we introduce discrete reveals to DoubleCat, yielding SemiCat, which achieves discrete diffusion-level performance on TinyGSM, reaching 49.94\% with standard training hyperparameters and a tuned sampler. At the 1.7B scale, SemiCat outperforms discrete diffusion on four of six likelihood-based evaluations, and surpasses one-hot flows on unconditional generation. On embedded spaces, we find that cross-entropy drives embeddings towards a geometry whose decoding error rate closely matches the one-hot one. We briefly explore a range of further options, such as hybrid corruption processes and noise schedules, including asynchronous ones. We believe this exploration can help the community better understand and advance the design space of CDLMs.

SpatialASM: Internalizing Active Mentalization for Spatial Reasoning

When solving complex spatial reasoning tasks, ordinary humans naturally revisit the scenes from task-relevant viewpoints and mentally reconstruct the spatial layouts from those viewpoints. But can Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) proactively think in the same way? We term this ability Active Spatial Mentalization (ASM), an intrinsic component of visual intelligence that remains substantially underdeveloped in current LVLMs. To bridge this gap, we introduce SpatialASM, a scalable framework to internalize ASM into LVLMs through training-time spatial simulation. SpatialASM employs an allocentric novel-view generator to ground hypothetical viewpoints in visual evidence and produces two complementary forms of supervision: i) explicit ASM trajectories that teach LVLMs when and how to adaptively invoke view planning and imagination during spatial reasoning, and ii) automatically-constructed perspective-taking tasks that further strengthens viewpoint-conditioned scene imagination. On seven benchmarks spanning relatively perception-oriented spatial understanding to more challenging tasks requiring multi-image, cross-view and viewpoint-transformation reasoning, SpatialASM yields performance gain on LVLMs of four LVLM backbones in spatial reasoning while retaining their original general vision capabilities. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach improves average accuracy across the seven spatial benchmarks. And the synthesis of ASM trajectories provides a scalable pathway to alleviate the scarcity of spatial Chain-of-Thought (CoT) supervision for eliciting active viewpoint exploration and mental scene simulation.

Same Query, Different Answer: Run-to-Run Variance in Semantic Query Processing

Semantic query engines ask a large language model (LLM) to judge individual rows, and benchmarks compare these engines on the quality of a few executions at temperature 0. We measure how much another execution changes. We re-execute the text and tabular workloads of SemBench, LRO-Bench, and UDA-Bench through their own harnesses, log every one of 1.2 million model calls, and reanalyze SemBench's published executions. At temperature 0, between 0.07% and 10.2% of rows change their operator output over five executions, depending on the model, and up to 24.0% on one task. Plans amplify these changes exponentially in the number of rows an answer exposes, as a possible-worlds model predicts: on UDA-Bench, a few percent of extracted values change, but about two thirds of the answers do. In SemBench's published results, 21% of text results change quality between executions, including on engines whose plans are deterministic. Several per-query system comparisons, and 16 of 28 tests of LRO-Bench's implementation recommendations, are not settled by the executions the benchmarks run. Changing rows are rows on which models disagree with each other; identical requests within one execution disagree as often as across executions; and one execution's decision margin or reasoning length predicts which rows change. Voting reduces the variance but does not remove it, and a calibrated cascade keeps its guarantee while the rows it returns change. We derive reporting rules for benchmarks and design rules for engines.

Can Language Models Learn When to Abstain? Policy Learning and Calibrated Answer Selection

A useful language model should know when to answer and when to say "I don't know." Can we improve that decision by training the model itself or by training a separate component to check its answers? We study both approaches on Qwen3-14B for factual questions, using a score that rewards correct answers, penalizes mistakes, and allows abstention. Across three training seeds and two held-out confidence thresholds, a learned answer selector improves threshold-averaged utility over the original model's calibrated confidence filter. On TriviaQA, mean coverage increases from 20.2% to 30.9%, while the pooled error rate among scored answers decreases from 23.0% to 14.5% under exact-match grading. The tested reinforcement-learning changes do not establish consistent gains. On NQ-Open, the selector improves threshold-averaged utility over the filter but still performs worse than always abstaining. A partial human-reviewed audit preserves the TriviaQA finding. Our results support learning to select answers in this setting while showing that reliable abstention across datasets remains unresolved.

QTestBench: A Test Framework for Evaluating LLM-Generated Quantum Code

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong results in classical code generation and are increasingly used to write the unit tests that safeguard that code. Whether they can do the same for quantum software is less clear, because quantum programs are probabilistic, depend on numerical tolerances, and are judged by domain-specific checkers, so a well-formed test can still disagree with the benchmark's verdict. Existing quantum benchmarks measure whether a model produces a correct solution, but not whether its tests can distinguish correct implementations from faulty ones. We introduce QTestBench, a framework that evaluates LLM-generated quantum test suites against independent benchmark checkers, never treating the tests themselves as ground truth. For each task, QTestBench prompts models to produce syntactic, semantic, and behavioral tests, injects candidate solutions at runtime, and compares each test verdict with the checker's label under three validation cohorts, each answering a distinct diagnostic question. We benchmark five LLMs on eight PennyLane QHack challenges and ten Qiskit HumanEval tasks. Generated suites almost always execute, but discrimination lags behind: the best generator reaches a test quality of 0.71 on QHack and 0.34 on Qiskit HumanEval, so executability alone overstates test quality. Oracle-verified synthetic mutants stabilize bug-detection estimates when natural faulty solutions are scarce, as on three of ten Qiskit tasks that yield none. QTestBench offers a reproducible, cross-framework benchmark for the trustworthiness of LLM-generated quantum tests.

Tracing and Taming Hallucinated Terms via Subsequence-Association Filtering and Breadth-Aware Selection for LLM Query Expansion

Large language models (LLMs) are now a standard source of query expansion terms but they hallucinate. They inject non existent entities and off-topic terms that add ranking noise and can hurt strong retrievers. Existing remedies such as corpus grounding, mutual verification and preference alignment treat hallucinated terms as an undifferentiated nuisance to be filtered by agreement heuristics, without a mechanistic account of why a given term appears or a principled criterion for how many terms to keep. We propose Subsequence-Association Filtered, breadth-aware query expansion (SAFE-QE), a training-free, retriever agnostic method that draws on the subsequence-association account of hallucination. We score each candidate expansion term by its corpus conditioned cross-context reproducibility, terms that reappear under randomised query contexts yet lack support in the pseudo-relevant set are flagged as products of dominant hallucinatory associations and down-weighted. Drawing on the characterisation of language generation as a trade-off between consistency (no hallucination) and breadth (coverage), we cast term selection as constrained coverage maximisation over the pseudo-relevant set, keeping a set that is approximately broad but consistent and stable across resampling. We also introduce the Hallucinated Expansion Term Rate, a query side faithfulness metric that counts injected expansion terms no relevant document supports. We evaluate our approach on benchmarked TREC and BEIR collections. Our SAFE-QE is statistically indistinguishable from generative and corpus-steered expansion on nDCG@10 while injecting fewer unsupported terms 4.3 per query against 27.8 for Query2doc and 57.5 for HyDE and on a strong learned sparse retriever, where every expansion method regresses. Faithfulness is therefore available at no measurable cost in ranking quality.

Not Just an Evaluation: A Case Study of Discourse Particle Sensitivity in Language Models

Discourse particles subtly shape the flow of discourse by reflecting conversational context and interlocutor attitudes, often leaving the truth-conditional meaning untouched. They are also often polyfunctional, with distinct senses which partially overlap with other particles; for example, the exclusive use of English "just" and "only" ("John only/just drinks water"). Despite the frequency of these words in natural language, they have gone largely unstudied due to the subtle nature of their effects. We investigate LLM sensitivity to "just" and "only" in natural conversations using behavioral and mechanistic analyses. First, we find that LLMs and humans similarly prefer the presence of these particles in context, and both are more sensitive to "just" compared to "only". Second, when sampling from LLMs with and without these particles, we find LLMs consistently rate generations as more likely, given their source context, demonstrating their particle sensitivity. In both experiments, instruction tuning increases sensitivity. Finally, we localize particle-sensitive units within LLMs and find the overlap between "just" and "only" is asymmetric: "only" units transfer selectively to exclusive "just", while all "just" units transfer to "only" equally well regardless of sense, suggesting LLM lexical-level particle representations are partially organized by sense. We release our code, sense-labeled dialogue stimuli, and human preference annotations at https://github.com/JiahuiKChen/Not_Just_an_Evaluation.

OccludeBench: Can VLMs Find What's Missing?

How well can vision-language models (VLMs) reason about what is missing from an image? We study this question with OccludeBench, a manually curated benchmark for recovering fully occluded objects from the visual evidence that remains. OccludeBench distinguishes direct cases, where the hidden object must be recovered from a specific physical cue such as a shadow or reflection, from inferential cases, where it can be inferred from broader scene context. Across five VLMs, accuracy averages 42.7% on direct cases versus 62.7% on inferential cases, exhibiting a 20.0-point gap. Humans attain higher accuracies of 63.4% versus 68.5% for direct and inferential images, respectively, with no significant gap. To locate this failure, we introduce OccludeTrace, a four-stage diagnostic that isolates where the visual reasoning process breaks down. The bottleneck emerges when models must recover the relevant object from the projection within the full image: they succeed on only 50% of failed examples, compared with 91% of examples they answer correctly. Extended reasoning, tool use, and few-shot prompting yield inconsistent improvements and do not reliably eliminate the gap. In contrast, an inpaint-then-confront intervention, which prompts models to first generate a candidate hidden object and then evaluate that hypothesis against the visible physical cue, reduces the gap to a statistically non-significant difference for both models with image-generation capabilities. Together, our results establish a tractable, controlled diagnostic for isolating how VLMs reason about visual content that is missing from an image.

UkrMeme: Multimodal Explainable Persuasion Detection in Ukrainian Memes

Memes play a central role in modern online communication, especially in contexts of political conflict where visual and textual cues combine to convey persuasive messages. We study persuasive technique detection in Ukrainian memes using vision-language models (VLMs). We introduce UkrMeme, a dataset of 200 organically produced Ukrainian wartime memes annotated for persuasion techniques, and PTM-UA, a Ukrainian translation of a subset of the Propaganda 950 benchmark that preserves original visual content while translating meme text. We evaluate VLMs in a zero-shot prompting setup across image, text, and multimodal inputs using hierarchical F1 metrics. Finally, we compare Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) and model-generated token attributions and analyze the semantic categories of evidence emphasized by each explanation method.

Retrieval-Augmented Multimodal Language Model with Heterogeneous Evidence Integration for Clinical Prognosis

Clinical prognosis requires integrating structured measurements, physiological waveforms, longitudinal history, and population context. We introduce PRISM (Population-Retrieved Inference for Structured Multimodal Prognosis), a multimodal language model that combines per-feature numerical tokenization, recency-weighted aggregation of longitudinal ECGs, and a dual-modality population memory bank. Retrieval operates in representation space: the model receives mean-pooled embeddings of similar training-cohort encounters, while no individual retrieved record enters the prompt. On the 1,443-task MDS-ED benchmark, PRISM achieves AUROCs of 86.2% for diagnosis, 93.1% for deterioration, 91.8% for ICU admission, and 92.8% for mortality. These results use a 96-hour pre-arrival window unavailable to reported baselines. With benchmark-window inputs only, PRISM reaches 0.8895 AUROC, compared with 0.8937 for UniPACT and 0.8889 for MDS-ED. A matched-input compact fusion model using the same five evidence streams and frozen encoders reaches 0.7652 AUROC, versus 0.9092 for PRISM. Replacing numerical EHR encoding with text serialization reduces AUROC by 3.66 points; removing pre-arrival history reduces it by 1.97 points; and zeroing retrieval reduces it by 0.99 points. Genuine retrieval outperforms random-neighbor retrieval by 0.97 macro-average points, although a paired task-level sign test does not establish a uniform advantage (p=0.067). On the external MC-MED cohort, supervised fine-tuning reaches 0.8611 AUROC, compared with 0.8227 for locally trained gradient boosting and 0.7841 for source-only PRISM. These results support structure-aware multimodal integration and supervised external adaptation.

Beyond Temporal Proximity: Explanatory World Models for Credit Assignment in Reinforcement Learning

Generative Recommenders increasingly use Reinforcement Learning (RL) to optimize outcomes that may appear hundreds or thousands of interactions after a decision. Standard RL propagates reward according to temporal proximity rather than explicit relevance, attenuating the signal assigned to distant but important actions and creating a source of sample inefficiency. We introduce Explanatory World Models (EWM), an attribution framework that uses explanations to identify the earlier events that plausibly contributed to a realized outcome. We instantiate EWM with a frontier language model and use its explanations as learning signals using a conservative hierarchical operator that recursively redistributes reward while preserving the undiscounted episode return. To investigate what constitutes a useful explanation, we operationalize three complementary variants inspired by Halpern's actual causation, Lombrozo's explanatory simplicity, and Deutsch's hard-to-vary explanations. We evaluate EWM on two controlled long-horizon RL benchmarks, a public sequential-recommendation benchmark, and an industry-scale generative recommender. On Crafter and WordCraft, EWM substantially outperforms PPO and LaRe, with its largest gains when rewards are most delayed. On KuaiRand, EWM outperforms SFT and LaRe offline and A2C online. Finally, in an offline evaluation of an industry generative recommender, EWM considerably improves Recall and increases behavioral proxies. These results suggest that explanations can provide structured and reusable credit for learning from delayed outcomes.

Humanize MLE Agents: Multi-Agent Session Alternation Beyond Single-Agent Limits

Existing LLM-based agent approaches for long-horizon machine learning engineering (MLE) often use context engineering, implemented through custom harnesses that manage tools, skills, and accumulated experience. However, we find that as single-session execution lengthens, the agent's reasoning intensity declines alongside slowing progress, summarized as long-horizon deceleration, and the benefits of these custom harnesses vanish as the underlying model improves, summarized as harness staleness. These findings suggest that their benefits may not persist across versions, which motivates a workflow-level approach in which agents build on one another's work across sessions. We model these alternating agent sessions as a context-reset semi-Markov decision process (CR-SMDP) and establish sufficient conditions for alternation to exceed single-agent reference limits, derive an explicit experiment-budget bound, and characterize when session caps preserve this advantage. Guided by this analysis, we introduce Humanize MLE Agents (HMA), which alternates two agents on a shared workspace, limits each session to at most k experiments and resets the context between sessions, without additional task-specific harness or prior knowledge supplements. Across 75 Kaggle tasks in MLE-bench, HMA reaches a state-of-the-art any-medal rate of 78.2%, exceeding the strongest open-source baseline by 8.0 points with a quarter of its time budget. Moreover, among six configurations spanning five heterogeneous agent pairs, HMA improves any-medal rate over the constituent baselines by 6.4 points on average, demonstrating cross-pair generality. A supplementary case on kernel optimization reaches 878 cycles, within 1.6% of the community leaderboard leader, demonstrating applicability beyond MLE.

Proactive Agentic Orchestration

Agentic orchestration delegates tasks to sub-agents with independent contexts, providing a key path to extending the effective execution horizon of large language model agents. However, existing orchestration methods face two limitations: in execution, current methods fix sub-agents' goals and harnesses at creation time, limiting their adaptability to dynamic real-world environments; in optimization, sparse and delayed feedback constrains effective learning of the orchestration policy. To address these limitations, we introduce POrchestra, an on-the-fly proactive agentic orchestration framework. It allows sub-agents to proactively communicate with the orchestrator at any logical point to request harness adjustments while maintaining continuity of local execution. This mechanism not only enables sub-agents to adapt seamlessly to dynamic environments but also naturally inspires On-Policy Orchestration Distillation (OPOD) based on hindsight feedback. OPOD attributes sub-agents' proactive revision requests back to preceding orchestration decisions to derive targeted improvement signals, and leverages these signals as process supervision alongside the final reward to optimize the orchestration policy. We evaluate POrchestra on three long-horizon agent benchmarks spanning deep research, dynamic digital assistance, and software engineering. POrchestra improves task success by an average of 9.1% relative to the strongest baseline; combined with OPOD, it improves small-orchestrator success by an average of 10.0% relative to existing training baselines. POrchestra also achieves a more favorable cost-performance trade-off. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/XueyangFeng/POrchestra.

A Local Agentic AI Framework to Generate Edge Case Scenarios for Safety Assurance

Generating edge case scenarios is crucial for training, testing and safety assuring autonomous systems. This identifies hazardous failures to increase system reliability and robustness, ensures the system can still function safely on the boundaries of its operational design domain and learns the expected system behaviour for these edge cases. The rapid advancement in the generation and analysis capabilities of language models (LMs) has expanded their applicability and recent work has investigated LM scenario generation. However, many recent approaches rely on human-in-the-loop or rule-based strategies. This restricts the LM's ability to generate diverse and edge case scenarios; the long tail of the distribution. Our work uses local LMs in a laptop-based agentic AI framework for adaptive scenario generation. This is cheap, fully-controlled, ensures data privacy and security. It uses think, act, observe, update, and continue loops with lightweight JSON encoding to generate scenarios. We use the system requirements, system description and environment description as knowledge bases in contextual prompts for an LM to ensure scenario realism. A second, independent LM critiques each scenario using domain specific criteria so it can be refined. The refined scenarios are run in simulation and evaluation metrics collected. These metric scores are analysed and similar scenarios are created for edge cases (exploitation) or novel scenarios are generated to explore the scenario space. Post-hoc clustering using metric scores and thematic-type analysis of the rich-text scenario descriptions produced by the LM pinpoints functional gaps and their triggering conditions. This creates traceable evidence for the safety assurance case. Our work highlights the potential of a flexible and adaptive local agentic AI framework for automating edge case generation and producing traceable safety assurance evidence.

SqueezeBench: Saturation-Resilient Evaluation of Mathematical Capability

AI systems are making rapid progress in mathematics, but this progress is hard to measure. Benchmarks of solved problems saturate, and in benchmarks of open problems each problem can be resolved for the first time only once. We present SqueezeBench, a benchmark that is resilient to saturation: a success raises the bar instead of removing the problem. Each problem fixes an integer function f(n) whose values are known only for small n, and the benchmark keeps a lower and an upper record on it. A record is a computable Lean function with a machine-checked proof that it bounds f. A submission proposes a new function and proves that it bounds f, that it is no worse than the current record at any n, and that it is strictly better at some n. Once accepted, it becomes the record that the next submission has to beat. The system thus chooses the bound as well as its proof, and it may improve the record at a single n or its growth rate. At every n, the gap between the two records shows how far the certified bounds are from determining f(n). Every proof is checked by two independent Lean kernels, so no referee needs to check the mathematics. The checks also reject a function that computes f by exhaustive search at small n, and a maintainer only reads the submitter's report and looks for such a search at larger n. We release ten problems from extremal combinatorics with twenty proved initial records and the admission tools. As a baseline, agents based on a frontier language model, with at most one hour per record, had 82 submissions accepted and improved every record, without going beyond the published literature. Agents based on two newer models then started from these records, had 60 more submissions accepted and improved 19 of the 20 records again. For eight of the ten problems, at least one record is still asymptotically behind the best published bound.

Agentic Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) have taken the world by storm. Their ability to communicate with us in our own language, and to reason about our world, has made them a favorite tool for writing, answering questions, and much more. Their answers already influence our decisions and our actions. What would happen if LLMs themselves could act in the world directly? What would happen if LLMs could interact with each other? Agentic LLMs combine the power of large language models with the ability to act in the real world. In this book we will discuss how agentic LLMs work, how they act, how they interact, and what this means for us, as users.

Oído: Open-Vocabulary Speech Recognition on a $5 Microcontroller without a Neural Accelerator

Speech recognition on low-cost microcontrollers is, in practice, limited to keyword spotting or a fixed list of commands. We present Oído, an inference engine that runs open-vocabulary English speech recognition entirely on an ESP32-S3 (240 MHz dual-core Xtensa LX7, 512 KB of SRAM, 8 MB of PSRAM, 16 MB of flash, no neural accelerator). Oído executes a 13M-parameter Conformer-CTC model with int8 weights, per-frame dynamic int8 activations and int8 attention on the chip's SIMD instructions, with a schedule designed around flash and PSRAM bandwidth. On LibriSpeech test-clean/test-other the on-device arithmetic reaches 3.70%/8.23% word error rate (WER), within 0.12 points of full precision, and 3.33%/7.15% with an on-chip 1.3M-parameter language model; a transducer head gives 2.99%/6.67% and an int4 variant fits in 8.3 MB. This is 2.3-2.8x fewer errors than the vendor's recognizer on the same chip, and fewer than Whisper tiny.en and Moonshine tiny in full precision on a laptop, including in real noise and reverberation. Measured on a physical board, the firmware runs at 1.97x the duration of the audio on one core, with transcripts identical to an instruction-exact emulator: accurate, but not yet real time (a 4 s command is transcribed about 8.7 s after it ends). The two-core schedule gives wrong results on silicon and is disabled. A streaming variant shows partial text while the speaker talks and delivers the final text 4.1-11.1 s after clips of 3.6-10.6 s (7.2-22.4 s in utterance mode) at 4.86%/11.03% WER; a Spanish model makes 34-60% fewer errors than multilingual Whisper tiny.

Rollout-Time Intervention: Unlocking Agentic Reinforcement Learning Beyond Policy Limits

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a key paradigm for improving large language model (LLM) agents, enabling stronger reasoning, planning, and tool-use in interactive environments. However, existing agent RL methods remain fundamentally constrained by an on-policy reasoning bottleneck: when tasks exceed the model's current capability boundary, effective trajectories become extremely sparse and training often collapses. We introduce Rollout-Time Intervention (RTI), a technique designed to elicit successful trajectories beyond the policy's intrinsic exploration capacity. RTI operates by leveraging reward-side evidence (i.e., evaluation rubrics) during rollout to convert erroneous trajectories into successful ones, providing effective learning signals for tasks that the policy rarely solves on its own. Although intervention trajectories are inherently off-policy, we find that they can effectively guide policy optimization when trajectories with excessive distributional shifts are filtered out. Extensive experiments across five benchmarks demonstrate that RTI consistently outperforms RL baselines, enabling the post-trained policy to approach the performance of substantially stronger contemporary LLMs and, more importantly, transcend its original capability boundary. The code is available at https://github.com/Alibaba-NLP/qqr.
