Reinforcement learning (RL) methods such as GRPO substantially improve large language model reasoning but often suffer from policy entropy collapse: the loss of sampling diversity weakens exploration and limits further improvement. Existing methods address this issue either through algorithm-level interventions, such a...

Safety evaluations of large language models commonly summarize harmful-output behavior with attack success rate (ASR). Yet the same non-harmful outcome can arise for very different reasons. A model may recover a harmful task and refuse it, fail to recover the task, or respond to something else entirely. Distinguishing...

On-policy distillation (OPD) supervises student-generated trajectories with token-level teacher signals. Its sampled-token variant avoids the cost of full-vocabulary probabilities. Yet we find that training on fewer tokens can outperform full-token OPD, challenging the intuition that more supervision improves learning....

Journals and conferences have begun to screen submitted manuscripts for text written using large language models (LLMs). The reliability of this screening rests on benchmark evaluations against a fixed set of LLM versions, while the versions in actual use keep changing. Here we quantify how this LLM turnover affects th...

Recent advances in large language model (LLM) pretraining highlight the role of high-quality training data in improving performance. While model-based filtering has proven effective in selecting high-quality subsets from web-scale corpora, especially for high-resource languages, low-resource languages face challenges d...

Coding assistants such as Claude Code and Codex have become a major application of LLM agents, yet existing benchmarks remain far from real-world use, particularly in task horizon and interaction length. Code assistants require completing long chains of development work in continuously evolving repositories, while repe...

Multi-agent LLM systems negotiating with a stateful counterpart waste model calls in three ways: polite loops that never meet the counterpart's hidden acceptance condition, malformed outputs that trigger retries, and compliance deadlocks in which the counterpart demands something the agent must refuse. We study a three...
This work introduces MetaEncoder, which fine-tunes a pre-trained Muse-Glimmer 30B decoder into an instruction-following decision-making encoder, and employs a bi-encoder architecture trained via unidirectional contrastive learning for request-candidate alignment.

Long-horizon agents compact their history to continue within a finite context window, but a textual summary alone may not support every subsequent decision. We introduce REMORY, a neural memory network that supplements the summary with a bounded sequence of soft memory tokens. Given the history and summary, the network...

Personalized conversational AI relies on long-term memory systems that extract facts from user utterances and store them in persistent vector stores. Despite progress in retrieval, deduplication, and lifecycle management, the formation stage, the moment a fact is first written to storage has received almost no principl...

Large Reasoning Language Models (LRLMs) enable multi-step reasoning for robotic task planning, but continued reasoning can overwrite valid intermediate plans or leave constraint violations unresolved, reducing planning reliability and wasting inference-time computation. We develop an inference-time monitor that exposes...

Following retrieved evidence does not guarantee factual correctness: misleading evidence can induce a model to replace an answer it previously gave correctly. Standard accuracy measures obscure this behavior by combining answer replacement with preexisting errors. We introduce RAG-Stress, a controlled diagnostic protoc...
