MidTool: Mid-training Data Synthesis for Agentic Tool Use

Mid-training is increasingly recognized as a critical stage for shaping the capabilities of large language models. Recent work has shown that targeted mid-training can strengthen reasoning-intensive abilities such as math and science, and can also improve agentic capabilities in software-engineering settings. In this w...

When the Strongest Teacher Is Not the Best Teacher: Student-Centric Answer Selection

Student-Centric Answer Sampling (SCAS) is proposed, a framework that selects from verified teacher-generated answers according to their estimated student-centric learning cost and is derived by a token-wise gradient decomposition and used to guide answer selection during training.

Steering Multimodal Large Language Models Decoding for Context-Aware Safety

Safety-aware Contrastive Decoding (SafeCoDe) is introduced, a lightweight and model-agnostic decoding framework that dynamically adjusts token generation based on multimodal context that consistently improves context-sensitive refusal behaviors while preserving model helpfulness.
