Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly applied to long-horizon tasks such as scientific discovery and machine learning engineering (MLE), where sustained self-evolution becomes a key capability. However, existing MLE agents suffer from isolated exploration, inefficient experience reuse, and lack of hierarch...

Ensuring the safety of Large Language Models (LLMs) is critical for real-world deployment. However, current safety measures often fail to address implicit, domain-specific risks. To investigate this gap, we introduce a dataset of 3,000 annotated queries spanning education, finance, and management. Evaluations across 14...

Automatic phenotype information extraction plays an important role in rare disease diagnosis, genotype-phenotype analysis, and precision medicine. However, accurately identifying phenotype concepts and determining their associations with specific patients remain challenging, particularly in full-text biomedical article...

AI systems may miss indirect, culturally situated distress or provide support mismatched to the application context. Existing benchmarks do not jointly address cultural variation, application context, and practitioner disagreement. We introduce VEILED-SH, a benchmark and construction methodology for evaluating single-t...

Where does the novelty a base language model produces with no task come from, and what can an LLM judge of a long stream actually see? We dismantle a cognitively inspired generation loop over 24 conditions on three base models. Most of its effect lives in one operation: a new subject injected every few hundred tokens (...
This work introduces Mimir, a 1.78B-parameter language model based on the Hierarchical Reasoning Model Text (HRM-Text) architecture, a recurrent-depth transformer whose layers are split into a low-level and high-level stack that are applied repeatedly in an interleaved schedule.

We introduce GRAB, a constructor-encoder-bridge pipeline for table question answering. Our method lifts relational data into an heterogeneous graph, encodes it via message passing, and transfers the signals to an LLM through a small set of query-conditioned latent tokens. This provides the LLM with a compact, task-rele...

Benchmark scores often misrepresent a large language model's (LLM's) knowledge, because they rely, e.g., on the model's ability to follow specific formatting requirements. This especially penalizes base models that may know the correct answers but lack the ability -- typically introduced in post-training -- to structur...

Diffusion language models (DLMs) have emerged as the leading non-autoregressive alternative to language modeling. Because their likelihoods are intractable, generative perplexity (gen-PPL) has become the de facto standard for reporting unconditional generation quality. We analyze why gen-PPL is unreliable as a measure...
An activation oracle is a language model trained to convert the activations of another model into natural language. However, it is so far unclear to what extent these verbalizations are calibrated. Crucially, the oracle's verbalization come without any measure of confidence. Here, we compare five methods for estimating...

As large language model (LLM)-based agents increasingly participate in online discourse, red-teaming their capacity to support political influence campaigns is critical for information integrity. In pursuit of this goal, we focus on locally deployable open-source LLMs under an assumed threat model in which an operator...

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are typically optimized for verbatim transcription, which preserves disfluencies, filler words, and informal spoken structures that are often unsuitable for downstream writing-oriented applications. A common workaround is a two-stage ASR+LLM pipeline for post-editing, but this...
