Different Models, Shared Failures: Auditing Frozen-Encoder Pools for Medical Segmentation

Average segmentation accuracy and model count do not reveal whether models fail on the same cases. We present CoFailMed, an audit of correlated failures in pretrained-encoder pools for medical segmentation. Across five 2D tasks, we evaluate 11 public pretrained encoders (a controlled sample, not a census) using frozen...

Latent-Lens: Visual Perception in Small Language Models Through Latent Communication

Bridging independent vision-language models (VLMs) and small language models (SLMs) in a modular multi-agent system typically forces them to exchange information as discrete text, which creates a lossy bottleneck for spatial and fine-grained details. This constraint is especially acute for SLMs, whose limited capacity...

Simple Features Beat Most AI Control Monitors

It is shown that on a standard evaluation dataset, simple features beat most monitors without ever running the code, outranking 20 of 24 open-weight models prompted as monitors, suggesting that a high score on such a dataset is not by itself evidence of sabotage detection.

When the Past Shapes Action: Understanding Embodied Memory

This survey examines embodied memory as a mechanism for preserving decision-relevant information beyond the current observation, and provides a framework for understanding memory as an essential component of reliable, adaptive, and lifelong-horizon embodied intelligence.

When Steering Shifts Discourse: Identifying and Intervening on Discourse-Level Changes due to Activation Steering in LLMs

Activation steering is an inference-time technique used to control or modify the behavior, tone, or safety properties of a large language model (LLM) without retraining the model's weights or editing its input prompt, but simply by adding a vector to its residual-stream activations. However, activation steering also ch...

GRIT: Gradient Masking for Visually Misgrounded Tokens in Text-Rich Reasoning

GRIT, a training framework that incorporates visual grounding into RLVR to mitigate the impact of Correct-but-Visually-Misgrounded Reasoning (CVMR), is proposed and introduced, and experiments demonstrate that GRIT significantly improves both reasoning accuracy and grounding fidelity over existing RLVR methods.

Attention Maps Know When to Think: Training-Free Difficulty-Aware Chain-of-Thought for Reasoning Segmentation

Difficulty-Aware Chain-of-Thought (DA-CoT), a training-free adaptive framework that selectively triggers CoT based on the input's intrinsic difficulty, is proposed, finding that the entropy of the model's attention maps reliably reflects task difficulty: low entropy indicates confident, localized grounding, while high...

ORION: An Outcome-Driven LLM Advisor for RL-Based Multi-Domain 6G Slice Placement

Deploying 6G network slices across administrative domains requires an online decision for each arriving request: which domain hosts each virtual network function, how traffic crosses domain boundaries, and whether the slice is admitted. This joint decision problem is NP-hard under continuous arrivals. Experiments on a...

Sparse Text Diffusion under Dual Budgets: Context Connectivity and Expert Activation

Long-context diffusion repeatedly pays for both token interaction and feed-forward computation. We formulate these costs as two separate budgets: the edges available to an attention graph and the experts activated for each token. This view connects local, dilated, and global attention with conditional expert computatio...
