Archetypal contexts in the neurons of language models: an architecture for intelligence?

We validate our previous hypothesis that a language model holds relational patterns apart from the subject domains that instantiate them (Nordfors, 2026). These archetypal contexts are patterns of relations that people recognize across many fields, such as the tipping point or winner takes all, held once and applied ac...

SPILLWAY: Separating Target Admission from Sanitization to Defend Tool-Using Agents against Prompt Injection

Tool-using agents act on email, files, and payments, so an instruction hidden in a web page or a shared document can make an agent send data or money to an attacker. Many runtime defenses put a language model on the decision that lets an action through, so the decision depends on a model that may read the attacker's te...

TileQuant: Tile as the Precision-Allocation Unit for LLM Mixed-Precision Post-Training Quantization

Post-training quantization (PTQ) reduces large language model (LLM) deployment costs, but preserving quality requires accounting for uneven weight sensitivity. Uniform PTQ uses one weight bit-width, importance-aware PTQ adjusts scales or reconstructs weights within that width, and column-wise mixed precision retains se...

Compositional Unalignment: Auditing Safety in Large Vision-Language Models

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) are vulnerable to compositional harm: an image and a prompt that are benign in isolation become harmful through the model's cross-modal reasoning. Recent alignment methods report strong scores on compositional safety benchmarks, but an LLM judge only measures observed behavior and c...

SeVerus: Context-Aware, Gamified Benchmarking for Rust Verification

Coding agents achieve high success rates on existing benchmarks for Verus, a verifier for Rust programs. These benchmarks typically provide the auxiliary lemmas needed to complete a proof. In practice, however, such lemmas must be discovered and proved. To capture this challenge, we present SEVERUS, a context-aware tec...

Multi-step SWE: Can Coding Agents Keep Building on Their Own Code Over Long Horizons?

Developers rarely give a coding agent a single request: they ask it to build a component and then to extend, upgrade, and optimize it, each time on code the agent itself wrote. Most benchmarks, however, score one task at a time. We introduce Multi-step SWE, a long-horizon benchmark of 69 software engineering tasks, eac...

Depth or Description? When a One-Step Latent Score Replaces Lookahead in Proactive Information Acquisition

A proactive agent must decide what to ask before it acts. Exact lookahead values combinations of questions but is expensive and leans on a fitted model; a one-step score is cheap but can miss them. Our main finding: the need for depth often lies in how the hidden cause is described. A one-step score on the label can be...

More Agents, More Reliable? System-Level Reliability of Multi-Agent LLMs under Operational-Profile Uncertainty

Teams increasingly build software from cooperating large language model (LLM) agents, often assuming more agents mean more reliability. Yet the usual evidence, average benchmark accuracy, ignores the input mix a deployed system meets and the rule merging the agents' answers. Building on HIP-LLM, a hierarchical imprecis...

Adapting LLM Judges to Observed Human Annotation Policy through Soft Prompt Tuning

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly employed as automated judges for evaluating chatbot responses. While proprietary models can achieve high agreement with human annotators, they remain costly and difficult to deploy in practical settings. Lightweight open-source LLM judges provide an attractive alternative b...

A Night at the LLM Zoo: Data Conditioned Flow Matching for Generating Pretrained LLM Weights

A challenge to Weight Space Learning as it expands from task specific and vision models to Large Language Models (LLMs) is the absence of a well curated and analyzed LLM population. To address this, we train such a model zoo for application to Weight Space Generation by systematically varying the data mixture compositi...

Polynomial-Time Computation of Extensive-Form Proper Equilibria in Two-Player Zero-Sum Games

We give a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for computing an exact extensive-form proper equilibrium in a finite two-player zero-sum extensive-form game with perfect recall and rational data. Properness is understood in the agent normal form: an action at an information set is penalized relative to a better actio...

Shaping & Monitoring Models through their Internal Representations

We propose Mechanistic Shaping, a unified framework for shaping models through their internal representations. Mechanistic Shaping is applied during training so that models follow specifications (rules) about which concepts they express, measured via their outputs or internal representations (e.g., no harmful content),...
