We introduce Axion 1.0, a fully open agent foundation model that combines strong and broad agentic capabilities with a remarkably simple training recipe. Axion 1.0 is trained in only three stages: two lightweight supervised fine-tuning stages followed by reinforcement learning, without dedicated mid-training, direct pr...

Protein-complex structure prediction with AlphaFold 3 depends on MSA content, depth, and cross-chain pairing. Current pipelines apply uniform recipes, typically maximizing depth and pairing by species, yet even whether cross-chain pairing helps AF3 remains contested. We show that the value of both depth and pairing is...

The multi-turn checker of the Berkeley Function Calling Leaderboard (BFCL) checks only the final state of a simulated service, never the calls that produced it. Extra calls cost nothing, no function doc says what a function does, and the scripted user never answers a proposal, so a model that asks before deleting or pa...
Given a relational database (RDB) storing heterogeneous tabular information, how can we predict missing (or future) values in some target column of interest? As candidate targets are numerous in enterprise settings, it is preferable to avoid learning a new model from scratch each time there is a new prediction task. Fr...

We introduce a reusable evaluation artifact for diagnosing whether LLM self-reported confidence can support confidence-gated act-or-defer decisions. The artifact is designed for evaluation rather than safety certification: it provides a black-box protocol, prompts, judge-reference labels, model outputs, reproduction sc...
Large language model (LLM) agents can autonomously run neuroimaging analyses from research questions to reported findings. Existing agentic systems use tools to check that code runs and reported values match its output, but rely on LLM judgment to decide which results warrant scientific reporting. We show that LLM judg...

Diffusion models and more recently Flow models have widespread application. In this work we consider degenerate Diffusion models in which the per-step generator is deterministic. We construct a modified variational framework and show a formal equivalence between Flow models and Degenerate Diffusion models. For our disc...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to simulate human behavior, but which descriptions of people improve prediction when experimental designs change remains unclear. We develop a framework that draws candidate behavioral features from the literature and constructs profiles from earlier human experiments....

Using large language models to interpret experimental evidence, design discriminating experiments and formulate well-supported mechanistic explanations remains a central challenge in materials research. Here we establish PSM-Bench, an 800-question benchmark developed by perovskite researchers to evaluate scientific rea...

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) supervises student-generated trajectories with a reference-conditioned version of the same base model. We ask whether every trajectory supplies distinct supervision that warrants its distillation cost. Gradient measurements on Qwen3-1.7B at initialization reveal that correct and incor...

Personal AI agents consume external content such as web pages and SNS feeds, and retain selected information in persistent memory. As a result, external content has become a new attack vector for memory poisoning, which steers an agent's later actions toward an adversary's bias. However, most existing attacks embed a m...

With the unprecedented success of Language Models (LMs), the science of Prompt Engineering has evolved the powerful idea of Prompt Programming, where prompts are treated as a programmable control surface for describing complex tasks and leveraging LM capabilities. However, existing prompt programming frameworks suffer...
