The scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) has driven significant performance gains but created substantial challenges in inference efficiency. While Mixture of Experts (MoEs) architectures address this by decoupling model size from inference cost, training MoEs from scratch is often unstable and c

Deep Research Agents have shown strong capability in multi-step information retrieval, reasoning, and long-form report generation, but existing benchmarks and systems remain predominantly text-centric, with limited evaluation of whether visual elements are factually reliable and well aligned with th

Search agents are often trained as policies over growing transcripts: the model must decide how to search while also remembering what it has seen, which evidence is useful, which constraints remain open, and which claims have actually been checked. We argue that this formulation puts too much routin

Reinforcement learning (RL) improves large language model (LLM) agents by teaching them which actions lead to high rewards, but provides little supervision on what those actions do to the environment. World modeling (WM) can fill this gap, yet existing approaches often require separate simulators, e

Human annotation is the empirical foundation of much NLP research, from dataset construction to model evaluation, but papers often leave unclear who produced the annotations and how the annotation process was controlled. We provide the first large-scale, task-level audit of human annotation reportin

Large language models solve complex problems by generating lengthy chains of explicit reasoning tokens. While effective, this makes reasoning expensive, length-sensitive, and constrained to (discrete) natural language. While latent reasoning offers a continuous alternative, determining useful struct

Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion enables variable-length synthesis, but long-horizon generation often suffers from accumulated errors and identity drift. For efficiency, existing methods commonly adopt sliding-window attention during generation. This creates an irreversible generation trajectory:

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a transformative standard for connecting large language models (LLMs) with external data sources and tools, and has been rapidly adopted across personal applications and development platforms.

Building capable visual web agents requires long-horizon reasoning, precise grounding, and robust interaction with dynamic real-world websites.

Selecting the best response from multiple small-model samples using a stronger scorer is a simple inference-time strategy, but fails when the small model has already committed to incorrect reasoning paths. PRM guided search avoids this by scoring candidate continuations during generation, but requir

In open-ended environments, exploration is fundamental for autonomous agents, yet current language model agents struggle with this. Effective exploration requires memory, but retaining raw interaction histories is computationally expensive over long trajectories. While latent memory offers a solutio

Computer use agents (CUAs) today are primarily deployed as single serial agents. This setup is suboptimal for complex long-horizon tasks that benefit from task decomposition, parallel execution, and consistent re-planning based on new information. In this paper, we argue that we should instead move

Reusable skills are a key mechanism for extending agent capabilities, allowing agents to accumulate experience and solve increasingly complex tasks. Yet most existing skill-learning methods store reusable experience as text-only assets, such as instructions, reasoning traces, or summarized trajector

Agentic search requires language model agents to explore many sources and answer complex information-seeking questions. Scaling test-time compute is a promising way to improve these agents, but current approaches can fail, because correct answers are often sparse and score-based selection depends on

True video intelligence demands more than recognizing what is visible: it requires reasoning about why events unfold, predicting what would change under different conditions, and deciding what to do next.

Large-scale multilingual bitext often contains two distinct problems: non-parallel sentence pairs and low-quality translations.

Speculative decoding accelerates LLM inference by drafting multiple tokens and verifying them in parallel with the target model. However, its practical speedup is constrained by the trade-off between draft quality and drafting cost: autoregressive drafters model causal dependencies among draft token

Thus, improving human-AI collaboration requires understanding when, why, and how humans decide to rely on AI. We study two distinct reliance decisions: the delegation choice -- deciding whe
