The research paper introduces SDAR (Self-Distilled Agentic Reinforcement Learning), a new framework designed to improve the training of large language model agents in complex, multi-turn…
Subliminal Learning Is Steering Vector Distillation
This research explores subliminal learning, a phenomenon where a student language model inherits behavioral traits from a teacher model even when trained on semantically unrelated data. The authors…
Subsidizing Sequential Search
This paper explores a market model where competing firms use subsidies to reduce the cost of product inspection for consumers. Through a subsidy-sorting principle, the authors demonstrate that…
Meta-Harness: End-to-End Optimization of Model Harnesses
This paper introduces Meta-Harness, an innovative system designed to automate harness engineering for large language models. Unlike traditional methods that rely on manual coding or compressed…
Self-Improving Language Models with Bidirectional Evolutionary Search
Researchers have developed Bidirectional Evolutionary Search (BES) to overcome the limitations of standard language model sampling, which often struggles with sparse feedback and predictable outputs.…
Generative Modeling via Drifting
This paper discusses Drifting Models, a novel generative modeling paradigm that enables high-quality, one-step image generation without the iterative inference required by diffusion or flow-matching…
Instance-Optimal Estimation with Multiple LLM Judges on a Budget
This paper addresses the cost-efficient evaluation of large language models (LLMs) by utilizing multiple AI "judges" with different price points and reliability levels. The researchers formalize this…
Robust AI Personalization Will Require a Human Context Protocol
This paper proposes the Human Context Protocol (HCP), a technical framework designed to give individuals direct control over how their personal preferences shape AI interactions. Currently, AI…
Equilibrium Reasoners: Learning Attractors Enables Scalable Reasoning
This paper introduces Equilibrium Reasoners (EqR), a novel framework that conceptualizes iterative AI reasoning as a dynamical system converging toward stable latent attractors. By treating the…
