Evaluates whether AI agents can autonomously use Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) to discover interpretable features and causally steer model behavior. Introduces a 20-task benchmark that has agents design contrastive probes to search a 131K+ feature dictionary in Gemma-2-9B-IT and evaluates activation rank, selectivity, and causal steering against expert references.
AI Agent Papers2026
Unifies continuous streaming perception, full‑duplex real‑time interaction, and agentic tool use across video, audio, and text. Proposes a Cerebellum–Brain split—streaming Thinker‑Talker cerebellum for low‑latency interaction plus a Brain for complex reasoning—and is released with models, code, and data.
AI Agent Papers2026
Explores a practical mechanism for recursive self-improvement by post-training LLMs: uses a routing harness to record agent executions and convert traces into curriculum-guided supervised fine-tuning and on-policy distillation data, closing an evaluation-selection-update loop and improving benchmark performance.
AI Agent Papers2026
Lets vision-language models control robots via a compact semantic action interface that maps intent to discrete action units; supports zero-shot use of closed-source VLMs, low-cost fine-tuning of open VLMs, and GUI-based demonstration collection.
AI Video Papers2026
Translates natural-language instructions into executable programs that maintain an explicit, persistent global world state and compiles state-augmented 3D oriented bounding boxes into pixel-aligned conditioning signals for pretrained video generators. The approach decouples state evolution from rendering, enabling programmable entity control, off-screen state, and long-horizon interactive scenarios.
AI Agent Papers2026
Defines recursive self-improvement (RSI) with an evaluation metric (Headroom-Closed Index) and a five-level autonomy roadmap—from executing human-specified improvements to recursively improving improvement mechanisms—while analyzing scenarios, verification challenges, and governance risks.
AI Agent Papers2026
Provides a self-evolving ontology layer that enables LLM-based data agents to query and interact with heterogeneous data via an MCP server; it auto-builds and iteratively refines schema, content, and tool layers based on agent interactions.
AI Agent Papers2026
Presents Atria Dawn Preview, an agentic foundation LLM trained with a Verifiable Experience Pipeline to connect tool-mediated interactions to executable environments; evaluated across 16 real-world research and engineering benchmarks with top scores on five, and a human–AI collaboration analysis of 769 task records.
AI Agent Papers2026
Turns past discovery traces into replayable simulators so alternative exploration policies can be evaluated offline ('dreaming'), enabling fast, low-cost meta-level policy improvement for agent-driven discovery across coding, optimization, and GPU-kernel tasks.
Benchmarks joint recovery of obfuscated platform messages and evidence-grounded web investigations by pairing 3,600 synthetic restoration inputs with 600 controlled web environments. Separately scores message-entry recovery and downstream web risk judgments, and provides a frozen multimodal evidence judge plus a resettable local sandbox for reproducible agent evaluation.
AI Agent Papers2026
Estimates a model's probability of correctness by leveraging its past graded episodes: XConf recalls similar past cases and prompts the model to reflect and restate confidence, improving calibration and discrimination across reasoning, coding, multimodal QA, and agent tasks at much lower generation cost.
Introduces physical rank consistency (PRC) and ActionPiece, a learned action tokenizer that preserves local physical relationships via joint supervision of representation learning and quantization, improving autoregressive vision-language-action policy performance across multiple benchmarks.
