arXiv:2602.12316v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Frontier AI systems are increasingly capable and deployed in high-stakes multi-agent environments. However, existing AI safety benchmarks largely evaluate single agents, leaving multi-agent risks such as coordination failure and conflict poorly understood. We introduce GT-HarmBench, a benchmark of 1,535 high-stakes scenarios spanning game-theoretic structures such as the Prisoner's Dilemma, Stag Hunt and Chicken. Scenarios are drawn from realistic AI risk contexts in the MIT AI Risk Repository. Across 15 frontier models, agents fail to choose socially beneficial actions in 38% of high-stakes cases, such as military escalation, election manipulation, and medical malpractice. We measure sensitivity to game-theoretic prompt framing and ordering, and analyze reasoning patterns driving failures. We further show that game-theoretic interventions improve socially beneficial outcomes by up to 18%. Our results highlight substantial reliability

arXiv:2605.22967v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) generate sequences through iterative refinement, the rich internal computation over masked positions is discarded, forcing every subsequent refinement step to recompute the valuable internal information stored as model representations. To avoid a hard reset between denoising rounds, we propose Learned Relay Representations (Relay), a method that allows MDMs to be forward-thinking when denoising by explicitly learning how to propagate latent information for the benefit of future denoising steps. Relay introduces a differentiable per-token channel that passes information between forward passes and is trained via truncated backpropagation through time (BPTT). We show that this framework can be scaled to state-of-the-art Diffusion Language Models (DLMs), and is seamlessly compatible with techniques like block diffusion and KV caching. We first provide a thorough justification of the design choices in Relay

arXiv:2605.23872v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce training-free looped transformers, in which a lightweight inference-time wrapper loops a contiguous mid-stack block of layers of a frozen checkpoint without additional fine-tuning, continued training, or architectural changes. Unlike prior looped transformer methods that train with the looped structure end-to-end, we retrofit recurrence onto pretrained models at test time. We show that naive block reapplication usually degrades performance, highlighting the importance of the loop application strategy. Motivated by viewing a pre-norm transformer block as a forward Euler step on an ODE, we instead treat looping as a refinement of the same approximation, replacing one large update with smaller damped sub-steps. Across seven dense, sparse MoE, and MLA+MoE model families, our method improves Qwen3-4B-Instruct by +2.64 pp on MMLU-Pro, Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct by +1.14 pp on CommonsenseQA, and Moonlight-16B-A3B-Instruct by +1.20 pp on

arXiv:2605.22939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We aim to improve the reasoning capabilities of diffusion language models (DLMs). While SFT is a popular post-training recipe for autoregressive models, its use in DLMs faces challenges and can even hurt performance, though the underlying causes remain understudied. Our analysis reveals that vanilla SFT overlooks learnability, namely what and when tokens are learned. Specifically, rare tokens are difficult to learn when most of the input is masked, whereas it is straightforward and thus of little value to learn common tokens when most of the input is unmasked. Motivated by our analysis, we propose LIFT, an efficient SFT-based post-training algorithm for DLMs. LIFT learns easy tokens when most of the input is masked and hard tokens when more context is available, thus aligning the training with the information available at different diffusion time steps. Our results show that LIFT outperforms existing SFT baselines across six reasoning b

arXiv:2510.12787v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present Ax-Prover, a multi-agent system for automated theorem proving in Lean that can solve problems across diverse scientific domains and operate either autonomously or collaboratively with human experts. To achieve this, Ax-Prover approaches scientific problem solving through formal proof generation, a process that demands both creative reasoning and strict syntactic rigor. Ax-Prover meets this challenge by equipping Large Language Models (LLMs), which provide knowledge and reasoning, with Lean tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which ensure formal correctness. To evaluate its performance as an autonomous prover, we benchmark our approach against frontier LLMs and specialized prover models on two public math benchmarks and on two Lean benchmarks we introduce in the fields of abstract algebra and quantum theory. On public datasets, Ax-Prover is competitive with state-of-the-art provers, while it largely outperforms them

arXiv:2605.23268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In many prediction problems, we have extra information during training (for example, measurements that are expensive or slow to collect) that will not be available when the model is deployed. A common strategy is to first train a model that uses all training information, then use its predictions on unlabeled examples to train a second model that only uses the inputs available at test time. However, when the extra training-only information is weak or noisy, this Two-Stage approach can mislead the deployment model and even hurt accuracy. We propose a joint training method that learns the two models together, so the deployment model can benefit from the extra information only when it actually helps, instead of inheriting its mistakes. We provide guarantees that describe when joint training improves prediction accuracy and analyze a simple alternating training algorithm for large, high-dimensional models. Experiments on synthetic data and r

arXiv:2603.17879v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work presents a multi-label temporal event detection framework for video capsule endoscopy (VCE) that addresses the extreme class imbalance inherent in the Galar dataset by combining two principal contributions: an Angular Separation Loss on class prototypes and a Biological State Machine temporal decoder. The backbone remains BiomedCLIP, a biomedical vision-language foundation model. Three consecutive frames are fused through a Local Differencing Attention module that amplifies transient pathological signals by suppressing static temporal redundancy. An Anatomy Context Head then conditions pathological predictions on soft anatomical activations, exploiting the known spatial co-occurrence structure of GI findings. Learnable text-feature prompts and prototype-based logit augmentation are trained alongside an Angular Separation Loss that penalizes off-diagonal cosine similarity between class prototypes, preventing the prototype col

arXiv:2605.23089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model-based reinforcement learning improves sample efficiency by learning a world model. However, existing latent world models such as DreamerV3 do not explicitly enforce local smoothness in their learned transition dynamics, leaving a useful inductive bias for transition dynamics learning unexploited. We propose GPLD, a gradient-penalized latent dynamics regularizer for DreamerV3 that applies a row-wise Jacobian penalty to the posterior latent distribution to encourage locally smooth transition learning. We show that this penalty can be interpreted as the continuous-latent analog of finite-difference smoothing of transition laws in discrete embedded-state MDPs, and estimate it efficiently using Hutchinson-style stochastic probes. Empirically, across DeepMind Control proprioceptive tasks, GPLD improves aggregate sample efficiency, with particularly strong gains on higher-complexity locomotion environments. On more challenging quadruped

arXiv:2605.23424v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In-network learning (INL) trains distributed neural modules by exchanging latent activations and backpropagated errors over a communication graph. This letter proposes Dijkstra-pruned INL (D-INL), which removes non-tree links by retaining a capacity-aware shortest-path tree rooted at the fusion node. To balance sparsity and predictive information, local routing (or aggregation) is modeled as a finite-rate stochastic gate with rate $R_g=I(Z; T)$. We derive a rate-distortion-generalization bound and validate the method on a reproducible distributed-classification experiment, where D-INL reduces training exchange by $70.4\%$ while preserving accuracy within the standard deviation of dense INL. Adding finite-rate regularization further reduces the estimated latent rate by $45.7\%$ relative to unregularized Dijkstra INL.

arXiv:2605.23037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data-driven modeling is becoming central to multiphase transport, electronics cooling, acoustic diagnostics, and thermal-fluid digital twins, but progress is limited by fragmented datasets and raw instrument files that are difficult to decode, reuse, or benchmark. This paper presents an open ecosystem of multimodal datasets and open-source software packages developed by the Nano Energy and Data-Driven Discovery (NED3) Laboratory for reproducible AI-enabled thermal-fluid research. We introduce a spatial-plus-temporal dimensionality framework, denoted S+TD, to classify datasets by the dimensionality of measured or simulated fields, including 0+0D point values, 0+1D time series, 1+0D profiles, 2+0D images, 2+1D videos, 3+0D volumetric fields, and multimodal combinations. We organize public NED3 datasets spanning boiling images, acoustic and thermal measurements, high-speed videos, infrared thermography, thermal-resistance measurements, CFD-g

arXiv:2605.22845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Finite element simulations of large-deformation sheet material forming involve node-element coupling between nodal kinematics and element-level deformation measures. Machine-learning surrogates can accelerate such simulations, but most graph-based models use node-centred representations. This representation is indirect for element-level quantities, which are often recovered from nodal predictions by interpolation or post-processing. It may also obscure the node-element coupling structure that underlies the finite element update. This work proposes a cross-attention-based bipartite graph neural network (CAtt-BiGNN) for coupled prediction of nodal displacement increments and elemental thinning. The graph represents mesh nodes and elements as distinct but connected entities, linked by directed node-element edges, so that nodal and elemental fields are predicted on their native discretisation domains. An edge-aware cross-attention processor

arXiv:2605.22866v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compound AI systems route tasks through hierarchies of specialised components. Attribution is dominated by Shapley-based methods (SHAP), which decompose a coalition value function into per-component marginal contributions and require evaluation of the system on arbitrary component subsets. That requirement fails for third-party APIs, opaque endpoints, and agentic orchestrators that concentrate routing on a few tools, leaving most coalitions un-evaluable from the deployed orchestrator. We introduce BOHM, which extracts a hierarchical attribution tree directly from the routing weights such systems already maintain: leaf attribution is the path product of root-to-leaf routing weights; level-k attribution is the induced distribution over depth-k nodes. The method has zero marginal cost, requires no access to component internals, and provides multi-resolution attribution at every level simultaneously, which flat methods cannot offer at any eva

arXiv:2605.23446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graphs with a simple spectrum admit cubic-time isomorphism testing, yet we prove that for every natural number $k$, the $k$-Weisfeiler-Leman ($k$-WL) test cannot distinguish all non-isomorphic graphs with a simple spectrum. As the WL hierarchy upper-bounds the distinguishing power of widely-used Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), this incompleteness applies to all such GNNs, ruling out completeness for every $k$-WL-aligned GNN family. To close this gap, we introduce PRiSM (Partition, Refine, Solve, Match), the first provably complete canonicalization of simple-spectrum eigendecompositions. PRiSM obtains the completeness guarantee that prior canonicalizations provably lack, and resolves the open problem of achieving complete expressivity on simple-spectrum graphs. When composed with DeepSets or a Transformer, PRiSM achieves universal approximation on simple-spectrum graphs, justifying the use of canonicalized Laplacian positional encodings. Emp

arXiv:2605.22924v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Serving personalized content on mobile devices has traditionally required pooling sensitive user data on centralized servers, a practice increasingly at odds with modern privacy expectations and geographical regulations. We present a two-stage federated recommendation system pipeline for mobile devices, built around a principled separation between non-sensitive user preference data and sensitive mobile context data that never leaves the device. The first stage runs a collaborative filtering model on non-sensitive app-context data in the cloud to generate a shortlist of relevant items. The second stage re-ranks these candidates on-device using sensitive mobile signals, with only model updates/gradients ever leaving the device. We validate the approach on MovieLens, UCI Human Activity Recognition, and a proprietary pilot dataset, and deliver a production-ready implementation as a Kotlin Multiplatform library deployable on Android and iOS.

arXiv:2605.17076v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We address concurrency control for LLM agents sharing mutable state over HTTP, where agents cannot be modified to declare read sets. S-Bus is an HTTP middleware whose central mechanism, a server-side DeliveryLog, reconstructs each agent's read set at commit time from observed HTTP GET traffic. The consistency property it provides -- Observable-Read Isolation (ORI), a partial causal consistency over the HTTP-observable read projection -- prevents Structural Race Conditions in dedicated-shard topologies. Three contributions.
