We present IronLLM-0.6B, a 654M-parameter language model designed for efficient on-device inference. IronLLM-0.6B combines a hybrid attention architecture with X-MTP, a lightweight shared-KV multi-token prediction design that eliminates per-depth KV-cache replay and employs a lightweight verification head for rollback-free drafting, achieving a 1.48x decoding speedup. The model is pretrained on approximately 6.2 trillion tokens using a quality-oriented data pipeline and is further post-trained with Multi-Domain On-Policy Distillation to integrate capabilities from domain-specialized teachers. To better meet the low-latency requirements of on-device scenarios, IronLLM-0.6B adopts an Instruct-Only design. Evaluations show that IronLLM-0.6B achieves competitive performance relative to larger models such as Qwen3.5-0.8B and MiniCPM5-1B, while producing more concise responses on many tasks. We further present IronLLM-0.6B-Light, which replaces RMSNorm with Dynamic Tanh and simplifies several computationally expensive components to improve inference and quantization efficiency. Together, the IronLLM models provide an effective performance-efficiency trade-off for resource-constrained deployment.

LIBERO-PeRM: Benchmarking Personalized Robotic Manipulation
Personalization is essential for general-purpose robots to transition into household environments and achieve true practicality. While general robotic manipulation has been extensively studied, personalized robotic manipulation (PeRM) lacks a controlled benchmark for separating task completion from preference satisfaction. We introduce LIBERO-PeRM, a benchmark for preference learning in embodied agents. LIBERO-PeRM studies five questions: 1) how policies follow preferences in zero-shot settings; 2) how they learn single preferences from demonstrations; 3) how efficiently they acquire preferences as demonstrations increase; 4) how learned preferences generalize across layouts and tasks; and 5) how policies compose preferences and behave under conflicts. We propose a controlled formulation and taxonomy of observable preferences in simulation, covering motion, skill, and user-profile choices. This formulation is restricted to language-expressible preferences that can be instantiated in LIBERO without changing the task goal, evaluated automatically, and reused across tasks. Building on LIBERO, our procedural pipeline generates paired demonstrations with and without preferences. We create five task suites (312 tasks) with high-quality demonstrations, rich metadata, and preference-satisfaction metrics. Experiments show that current VLA policies struggle with zero-shot personalization, while SFT makes preferences learnable. Mixed training achieves better no-preference retention than sequential adaptation and improves performance with contextual prompts compared with preference-only training, but can weaken motion-preference learning; preference generalization, decomposition, and conflict handling remain difficult. The code, datasets, and demos can be found on the project website: https://libero-perm.github.io/.
Discovering state-of-the-art quantum circuits with large language models
Significant efforts are currently being directed toward the implementation of large-scale quantum information processors, but realizing useful quantum advantage also requires the development of efficient quantum algorithms. While for many practical problems the dominant resource costs are associated with a small set of computational primitives, optimizing them in the quantum setting presents unique challenges, including a reversibility constraint absent from ordinary classical computation. Here we introduce an evolutionary framework in which large language models (LLMs) propose circuit designs and an independent evaluator verifies and scores them. We apply this framework to tasks spanning numerical computation, chemistry, optimization, quantum simulation, and number theory. In seven of the eight tasks, the discovered circuits significantly reduce both Toffoli and qubit counts relative to the state of the art. In the eighth, the search discovers a new reversible architecture for prime-field modular inversion. By handling reversibility differently, the architecture makes divsteps -- a classical algorithm previously impractical for reversible integer arithmetic -- viable and substantially improves the Toffoli-qubit trade-off for modular inversion. These results open the door for evaluator-guided LLM co-design of new algorithmic structures for quantum computation.
T2-z: Test-Time Optimization of Environment Latents for Robotic World Models
Predicting how the world responds to an action requires more than what can be seen: robots must account for environmental factors that are neither directly observable nor explicitly specified, from physical properties such as friction and mass to human-defined environmental rules. We introduce T2-Z for test-time optimization of environment latents, which augments a robotic world model with a learnable environment latent to condition world predictions. This compact latent captures underlying environmental variation without supervision of what environmental factors exist or what values they take. During training, T2-Z alternates between two stages: a world-model optimization stage that fixes the latents and learns general action-conditioned dynamics across environments; and an environment-latent optimization stage that freezes the world model and optimizes the conditioning latents, allowing latent structure to emerge purely through world prediction. At test time, the world model remains frozen and a newly initialized environment latent is optimized from one or more test-time interactions, adapting the model to previously unseen environmental configurations. Across 7 simulated settings and 4 real-world robotic tasks, T2-Z reduces object prediction error metric from 15.20 to 7.00 and raises action success from 33.73% to 72.96%. Its emergent latents capture structured representations of individual and compounded factors across diverse visual scenes. Ablations further show that T2-Z can efficiently infer environment latents from as little as a single test-time interaction trajectory.
CoDA: Co-Evolution of Data Engines and Action Policies
Generative simulation can automate robot environment construction, but physically valid environments are not necessarily useful for training. The challenge is to identify environments that address a policy's failures and supervision that helps it overcome them. We introduce CoDA, a framework in which a simulation data engine and an action policy co-evolve through a shared heterogeneous memory of environment construction, policy failures, and learning progress. The memory compiles validated diagnoses from a vision-language critic into generation programs that recreate difficulties and training programs that help the policy overcome them. We further propose Text2potential to convert these diagnoses into staged potentials for action-chunk value learning, providing dense supervision for policy updates while preserving the task's optimal policy under standard shaping assumptions. Measured learning progress guides further generation and program refinement. Across four manipulation task families, CoDA improves out-of-distribution success from 5.3% after supervised fine-tuning to 27.6%, exceeding the strongest closed-loop baseline by 9.5 percentage points with the same generation budget. On LIBERO-Pro, 15 rounds of generation and training raise success from 25% to 84% under position perturbations and from 1% to 76% under instruction perturbations.
