Enabling AI to process lifetime-scale information remains a long-standing pursuit in the field. Due to the constraints of full-attention architectures, the effective context length of large language models (LLMs) is typically limited to 1M tokens. Existing approaches, such as hybrid linear attention, fixed-size memory states (e.g., RNNs), and external storage methods like RAG or agent systems, attempt to extend this limit. However, they often suffer from severe precision degradation and rapidly increasing latency as context length grows, an inability to dynamically modify memory content, or a lack of end-to-end optimization. These bottlenecks impede complex scenarios like large-corpus summarization, Digital Twins, and long-history agent reasoning, while limiting memory capacity and slowing inference. We present Memory Sparse Attention (MSA), an end-to-end trainable, efficient, and massively scalable memory model framework. Through core innovations including scalable sparse attention and document-wise RoPE, MSA achieves linear complexity in both training and inference while maintaining exceptional stability, exhibiting less than 9% degradation when scaling from 16K to 100M tokens. Furthermore, KV cache compression, combined with Memory Parallel, enables 100M-token inference on 2xA800 GPUs. We also propose Memory Interleaving to facilitate complex multi-hop reasoning across scattered memory segments. MSA significantly surpasses frontier LLMs, state-of-the-art RAG systems, and leading memory agents in long-context benchmarks. These results demonstrate that by decoupling memory capacity from reasoning, MSA provides a scalable foundation to endow general-purpose models with intrinsic, lifetime-scale memory.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.23516.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Yu Chen, Runkai Chen, Sheng Yi, Xinda Zhao, Xiaohong Li, Jianjin Zhang, Jun Sun, Chuanrui Hu, Yunyun Han, Lidong Bing, Yafeng Deng, Tianqiao Chen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 27&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Long-term memory is a cornerstone of human intelligence.

Recent self-supervised learning methods have shown strong transferability across vision tasks, but they do not explicitly address what a good visual state should encode. We argue that effective visual states must capture what-is-where by jointly encoding the semantic identities of scene elements and their spatial locations, enabling reliable detection of subtle dynamics across observations. To this end, we propose CroBo, a visual state representation learning framework based on a global-to-local reconstruction objective. Given a reference observation compressed into a compact bottleneck token, CroBo learns to reconstruct heavily masked patches in a local target crop from sparse visible cues, using the global bottleneck token as context. This learning objective encourages the bottleneck token to encode a fine-grained representation of scene-wide semantic entities, including their identities, spatial locations, and configurations. As a result, the learned visual states reveal how scene elements move and interact over time, supporting sequential decision making. We evaluate CroBo on diverse vision-based robot policy learning benchmarks, where it achieves state-of-the-art performance. Reconstruction analyses and perceptual straightness experiments further show that the learned representations preserve pixel-level scene composition and encode what-moves-where across observations.

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.14366.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Jaeyo Shin, Jiwook Kim, Hyunjung Shim&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 5&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Representation Alignment (REPA) has emerged as a simple way to accelerate Diffusion Transformers training in latent space. At the same time, pixel-space diffusion transformers such as Just image Transformers (JiT) have attracted growing attention because they remove a dependency on a pretrained tokenizer, and then avoid the reconstruction bottleneck of latent diffusion. This paper shows that the REPA can fail for JiT. REPA yields worse FID for JiT as training proceeds and collapses diversity on image subsets that are tightly clustered in the representation space of pretrained semantic encoder on ImageNet. We trace the failure to an information asymmetry: denoising occurs in the high dimensional image space, while the semantic target is strongly compressed, making direct regression a shortcut objective. We propose PixelREPA, which transforms the alignment target and constrains alignment with a Masked Transformer Adapter that combines a shallow transformer adapter with partial token masking. PixelREPA improves both training convergence and final quality. PixelREPA reduces FID from 3.66 to 3.17 for JiT-B/16 and improves Inception Score (IS) from 275.1 to 284.6 on ImageNet 256 times 256, while achieving &gt; 2times faster convergence. Finally, PixelREPA-H/16 achieves FID=1.81 and IS=317.2.

This creates two coupled challenges: strategic blindness on the forward path of the memory cycle, where construction and retrieval are driven by local heuristics rather than explicit strategic reasoning, and sparse, delayed supervision on the backward path, where downstream failures rarely translate into direct repairs of the memory bank. To address these challenges, we propose MemMA, a plug-and-play multi-agent framework that coordinates the memory cycle along both the forward and backward paths. On the forward path, a Meta-Thinker produces structured guidance that steers a Memory Manager during construction and directs a Query Reasoner during iterative retrieval. On the backward path, MemMA introduces in-situ self-evolving memory construction, which synthesizes probe QA pairs, verifies the current memory, and converts failures into repair actions before the memory is finalized. Extensive experiments on LoCoMo show that MemMA consistently outperforms existing baselines across multiple LLM backbones and improves three different storage backends in a plug-and-play manner.

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.24575.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Qijia He, Xunmei Liu, Hammaad Memon, Ziang Li, Zixian Ma, Jaemin Cho, Jason Ren, Daniel S Weld, Ranjay Krishna&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 0&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are an essential format for technical illustration and digital design, offering precise resolution independence and flexible semantic editability. In practice, however, original vector source files are frequently lost or inaccessible, leaving only "flat" rasterized versions (e.g., PNG or JPEG) that are difficult to modify or scale. Manually reconstructing these figures is a prohibitively labor-intensive process, requiring specialized expertise to recover the original geometric intent. To bridge this gap, we propose VFIG, a family of Vision-Language Models trained for complex and high-fidelity figure-to-SVG conversion. While this task is inherently data-driven, existing datasets are typically small-scale and lack the complexity of professional diagrams. We address this by introducing VFIG-DATA, a large-scale dataset of 66K high-quality figure-SVG pairs, curated from a diverse mix of real-world paper figures and procedurally generated diagrams.

In practice, however, original vector source files are frequently lost or inaccessible, leaving only "flat" rasterized versions (e.g., PNG or JPEG) that are difficult to modify or scale. Manually reconstructing these figures is a prohibitively labor-intensive process, requiring specialized expertise to recover the original geometric intent. To bridge this gap, we propose VFIG, a family of Vision-Language Models trained for complex and high-fidelity figure-to-SVG conversion. While this task is inherently data-driven, existing datasets are typically small-scale and lack the complexity of professional diagrams. We address this by introducing VFIG-DATA, a large-scale dataset of 66K high-quality figure-SVG pairs, curated from a diverse mix of real-world paper figures and procedurally generated diagrams. Recognizing that SVGs are composed of recurring primitives and hierarchical local structures, we introduce a coarse-to-fine training curriculum that begins with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to learn atomic primitives and transitions to reinforcement learning (RL) refinement to optimize global diagram fidelity, layout consistency, and topological edge cases. Finally, we introduce VFIG-BENCH, a comprehensive evaluation suite with novel metrics designed to measure the structural integrity of complex figures. VFIG achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models and performs on par with GPT-5.2, achieving a VLM-Judge score of 0.829 on VFIG-BENCH.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Code can pass the test suite but become progressively harder to extend. Recent iterative benchmarks attempt to close this gap, but constrain the agent's design decisions too tightly to faithfully measure how code quality shapes future extensions. We introduce SlopCodeBench, a language-agnostic benchmark comprising 20 problems and 93 checkpoints, in which agents repeatedly extend their own prior solutions under evolving specifications that force architectural decisions without prescribing internal structure. We track two trajectory-level quality signals: verbosity, the fraction of redundant or duplicated code, and structural erosion, the share of complexity mass concentrated in high-complexity functions. No agent solves any problem end-to-end across 11 models; the highest checkpoint solve rate is 17.2%. Quality degrades steadily: erosion rises in 80% of trajectories and verbosity in 89.8%. Against 48 open-source Python repositories, agent code is 2.2x more verbose and markedly more eroded. Tracking 20 of those repositories over time shows that human code stays flat, while agent code deteriorates with each iteration. A prompt-intervention study shows that initial quality can be improved, but it does not halt degradation. These results demonstrate that pass-rate benchmarks systematically undermeasure extension robustness, and that current agents lack the design discipline iterative software development demands.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.24755.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Gabriel Orlanski, Devjeet Roy, Alexander Yun, Changho Shin, Alex Gu, Albert Ge, Dyah Adila, Frederic Sala, Aws Albarghouthi&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 22&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Software development is iterative, yet agentic coding benchmarks overwhelmingly evaluate single-shot solutions against complete specifications.

We introduce AVControl, a lightweight, extendable framework built on LTX-2, a joint audio-visual foundation model, where each control modality is trained as a separate LoRA on a parallel canvas that provides the reference signal as additional tokens in the attention layers, requiring no architectural changes beyond the LoRA adapters themselves. We show that simply extending image-based in-context methods to video fails for structural control, and that our parallel canvas approach resolves this. On the VACE Benchmark, we outperform all evaluated baselines on depth- and pose-guided generation, inpainting, and outpainting, and show competitive results on camera control and audio-visual benchmarks. Our framework supports a diverse set of independently trained modalities: spatially-aligned controls such as depth, pose, and edges, camera trajectory with intrinsics, sparse motion control, video editing, and, to our knowledge, the first modular audio-visual controls for a joint generation model. Our method is both compute- and data-efficient: each modality requires only a small dataset and converges within a few hundred to a few thousand training steps, a fraction of the budget of monolithic alternatives. We publicly release our code and trained LoRA checkpoints.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.24793.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Matan Ben-Yosef, Tavi Halperin, Naomi Ken Korem, Mohammad Salama, Harel Cain, Asaf Joseph, Anthony Chen, Urska Jelercic, Ofir Bibi&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 15&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Controlling video and audio generation requires diverse modalities, from depth and pose to camera trajectories and audio transformations, yet existing approaches either train a single monolithic model for a fixed set of controls or introduce costly architectural changes for each new modality.

Through an in-depth analysis of the denoising process, we demonstrate that introducing a single learned scaling parameter can significantly improve the performance of DiT blocks. Building on this insight, we propose Calibri, a parameter-efficient approach that optimally calibrates DiT components to elevate generative quality. Calibri frames DiT calibration as a black-box reward optimization problem, which is efficiently solved using an evolutionary algorithm and modifies just ~100 parameters. Experimental results reveal that despite its lightweight design, Calibri consistently improves performance across various text-to-image models.

Scaling to this unprecedented size, the model delivers a comprehensive enhancement across both general and scientific domains. Beyond stronger reasoning and image-text understanding capabilities, its intelligence is augmented with advanced agent capabilities. Simultaneously, its scientific expertise has been vastly expanded to master over 100 specialized tasks across critical science fields, including chemistry, materials, life sciences, and earth sciences.

Scaling to this unprecedented size, the model delivers a comprehensive enhancement across both general and scientific domains. Beyond stronger reasoning and image-text understanding capabilities, its intelligence is augmented with advanced agent capabilities. Simultaneously, its scientific expertise has been vastly expanded to master over 100 specialized tasks across critical science fields, including chemistry, materials, life sciences, and earth sciences. Achieving this massive scale is made possible by the robust infrastructure support of XTuner and LMDeploy, which facilitates highly efficient Reinforcement Learning (RL) training at the 1-trillion parameter level while ensuring strict precision consistency between training and inference.

However, existing restoration models are often limited by the scale and distribution of their training data, resulting in poor generalization to real-world scenarios. Recently, large-scale image editing models have shown strong generalization ability in restoration tasks, especially for closed-source models like Nano Banana Pro, which can restore images while preserving consistency. Nevertheless, achieving such performance with those large universal models requires substantial data and computational costs. To address this issue, we construct a large-scale dataset covering nine common real-world degradation types and train a state-of-the-art open-source model to narrow the gap with closed-source alternatives. Furthermore, we introduce RealIR-Bench, which contains 464 real-world degraded images and tailored evaluation metrics focusing on degradation removal and consistency preservation. Extensive experiments demonstrate our model ranks first among open-source methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.25502.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Yufeng Yang, Xianfang Zeng, Zhangqi Jiang, Fukun Yin, Jianzhuang Liu, Wei Cheng, jinghong lan, Shiyu Liu, Yuqi Peng, Gang YU, Shifeng Chen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 43&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Image restoration under real-world degradations is critical for downstream tasks such as autonomous driving and object detection.

In long-horizon settings, however, the common sampled-token variant is fragile: it reduces distribution matching to a one-token signal and becomes increasingly unreliable as rollouts drift away from prefixes the teacher commonly visits. We revisit OPD from the estimator and implementation sides. Theoretically, token-level OPD is biased relative to sequence-level reverse-KL, but it has a much tighter worst-case variance bound; our toy study shows the same tradeoff empirically, with stronger future-reward coupling producing higher gradient variance and less stable learning. Empirically, we identify three failure modes of sampled-token OPD: an imbalanced one-token signal, unreliable teacher guidance on student-generated prefixes, and distortions caused by tokenizer or special-token mismatch. We address these issues with teacher top-K local support matching, implemented as truncated reverse-KL with top-p rollout sampling and special-token masking. Across single-task math reasoning and multi-task agentic-plus-math training, this objective yields more stable optimization and better downstream performance than sampled-token OPD.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.25562.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Yuqian Fu, Haohuan Huang, Kaiwen Jiang, Yuanheng Zhu, Dongbin Zhao&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 3&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; On-policy distillation (OPD) is appealing for large language model (LLM) post-training because it evaluates teacher feedback on student-generated rollouts rather than fixed teacher traces.

However, most existing pipelines only utilize the language modality for scene descriptions or reasoning and lack the flexibility to follow diverse user instructions for personalized driving. To address this, we first construct a large-scale driving dataset (InstructScene) containing around 100,000 scenes annotated with diverse driving instructions with the corresponding trajectories. We then propose a unified Vision-Language-World-Action model, Vega, for instruction-based generation and planning. We employ the autoregressive paradigm to process visual inputs (vision) and language instructions (language) and the diffusion paradigm to generate future predictions (world modeling) and trajectories (action). We perform joint attention to enable interactions between the modalities and use individual projection layers for different modalities for more capabilities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method not only achieves superior planning performance but also exhibits strong instruction-following abilities, paving the way for more intelligent and personalized driving systems.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.25741.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Sicheng Zuo, Yuxuan Li, Wenzhao Zheng, Zheng Zhu, Jie Zhou, Jiwen Lu&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 4&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Vision-language-action models have reshaped autonomous driving to incorporate languages into the decision-making process.

While recent advances allow these models to handle varying input sizes during training, inference typically remains restricted to a single, fixed scale. This prevalent single-scale paradigm overlooks a fundamental property of visual perception: varying resolutions offer complementary inductive biases, where low-resolution views excel at global semantic recognition and high-resolution views are essential for fine-grained refinement. In this work, we propose Multi-Resolution Fusion (MuRF), a simple yet universally effective strategy to harness this synergy at inference time. Instead of relying on a single view, MuRF constructs a unified representation by processing an image at multiple resolutions through a frozen VFM and fusing the resulting features. The universality of MuRF is its most compelling attribute. It is not tied to a specific architecture, serving instead as a fundamental, training-free enhancement to visual representation. We empirically validate this by applying MuRF to a broad spectrum of critical computer vision tasks across multiple distinct VFM families - primarily DINOv2, but also demonstrating successful generalization to contrastive models like SigLIP2.&lt;/p&gt;</description> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-thumbnails.huggingface.co/social-thumbnails/papers/2603.25744.png" alt="Paper thumbnail" style="max-width: 300px; height: auto;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Authors:&lt;/b&gt; Bocheng Zou, Mu Cai, Mark Stanley, Dingfu Lu, Yong Jae Lee&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upvotes:&lt;/b&gt; 8&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) have become the cornerstone of modern computer vision, offering robust representations across a wide array of tasks.

This fundamentally limits their scalability, making high-resolution synthesis such as 4K intractable. We introduce LGTM (Less Gaussians, Texture More), a feed-forward framework that overcomes this resolution scaling barrier. By predicting compact Gaussian primitives coupled with per-primitive textures, LGTM decouples geometric complexity from rendering resolution. This approach enables high-fidelity 4K novel view synthesis without per-scene optimization, a capability previously out of reach for feed-forward methods, all while using significantly fewer Gaussian primitives.
