Fast Cross-Strength Multi-Contrast Brain MRI Translation using Latent Bridge Matching

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquired at different field strengths exhibits pronounced variation in noise, resolution, homogeneity, and contrast, which limits comparability across acquisition settings and complicates downstream analysis. We address this with a unified conditional model for controllable field-to-field synthesis, built on the framework of conditional latent bridge matching. Our single model achieves highly competitive results across the validation phase for all three tasks of the MRIxFields2026 challenge without task-specific architectures or training. We achieve fast generation with only a single inference step, producing all modality and field-strength combinations for 30 axial slices in under 90 seconds, as well as cross-modality-strength translation for a full volume in under 70 seconds, on a single NVIDIA A5000 GPU. We further provide extensive ablations regarding different components of our solution. Code: https://gitlab.com/siddharthsrivastava/mrixfields-2026

Astronex-World 1.0: Real-Time Interactive World Model Foundation

We present Astronex-World 1.0, an open controllable video world-model foundation. Given a text prompt (text-to-video) or an initial observation (image-to-video), the model predicts future visual states under frame-aligned camera trajectories, continuous actions, and an embodiment identifier, and accepts text events inserted at a specified position of a rollout. The family provides a bidirectional model for full-context generation and a causal model with block-causal attention and cross-block KV caching for persistent generation, both built on the Wan2.2-TI2V-5B prior. PRoPE injects camera intrinsics and extrinsics, while a 64-dimensional action stream modulates every Transformer layer. A five-stage training path develops bidirectional camera and action control, converts the backbone to block-causal generation, distills a few-step student, restores mixed-domain dynamics, and applies asymmetric DMD/DMD2 distribution matching. The causal model generates 832x480 video at 24 fps. All five training stages run on two NVIDIA L20 48 GB GPUs, and the causal model streams in real time on one. It scores 73.5 on WBench Navi and 70.0 on WBench Full. On Full, this 5B model is above the 13.6B LongCat-Video and the 14B Helios, within one point of the 22B LTX-2.3, and above YUME 1.5, which is post-trained from the same 5B prior on NVIDIA A100 GPUs. The reserved action input and output interfaces allow post-training for embodied intelligence and autonomous driving.

FlashVector: Agent for Hierarchical Model Serving Stack Optimization

Model serving is one of the largest cost drivers in production recommender systems. Maximizing its throughput requires navigating a deeply layered hierarchy: GPU kernels, the ML framework computation graph, the model server, and on-demand feature processing -- each demanding specialized domain expertise. Such cross-layer expertise is inherently difficult to acquire, and does not scale with a workload that continuously grows and evolves, leaving significant cost efficiency gains unrealized. While recent AI agents have demonstrated human expert level efficiency in standalone GPU kernel optimization, automated tuning and optimization for the rest of the serving stack remain largely unexplored. We present FlashVector, an agentic system that optimizes performance across all layers of the model serving stack. The key contribution is an extensible framework to generalize the single kernel optimization agent paradigm to heterogeneous technical stacks, and to deliver performance improvements holistically. After deployment in Unity's Vector advertising platform, FlashVector achieved up to 2x throughput increase and up to 1.98x latency speedup on model server, and up to 1.6x throughput increase on feature store. These optimizations were discovered not only at the GPU kernel and computation graph levels, but also across the other components of the model serving stack, such as the model server (NVIDIA Triton's C++ codebase) and the on-demand feature transformation service (Python codebase), demonstrating the extensibility of the framework to more complex system architectures.
