arXiv:2610.29870v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents can invest substantial effort in repository exploration and testing yet still produce unsuccessful patches. Existing online steering methods review trajectories periodically or invoke an advisor when a monitor detects behavioral problems; frequent reviews are costly, and the absence of anomalous behavior does not mean that an agent is on the right track. We propose PAUSE, a framework for steering coding agents with a single planning intervention. Agents reach their first source-code edit at a median of 60% of trajectory progress, after exploration, bug reproduction, and testing. PAUSE intercepts this edit request before it executes, which requires no learned monitor, no search over checkpoints, and no extra model call (search-free). A separate Planner reads the task and the pre-edit transcript and writes one repair plan; the same agent, the Executor, resumes with this plan, keeping its context and workspace. PAUSE applies online, during a live run, and offline, from a recorded trajectory prefix. We evaluate PAUSE on SWE-bench Verified and SWE-bench Multilingual with two Executors and three agent harnesses. With Qwen3-coder as Executor and GPT-5.6 Sol as Planner, online steering improves resolution by 16.8% on Verified in OpenHands and by 14.7% on Multilingual in SWE-agent. In SWE-agent, PAUSE outperforms LivePlan, a rule-triggered advisor, by 3.2% on Verified and 3.7% on Multilingual at similar Planner cost, and is comparable to SICA's periodic overseer at about 11-15% of its Planner cost. Offline, PAUSE recovers 35.4% of eligible failed Verified tasks, and resuming from the recorded prefix uses 33-41% fewer Executor tokens than restarting.

arXiv:2610.29843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are typically trained with next-token prediction (NTP), which rewards predicting specific tokens rather than explicitly accounting for the semantic similarities between different words or expressions. Prior work has addressed this limitation by augmenting training data with minimally varying sentences that replace a target word with conceptually related alternatives, e.g., "The tired coach ran home" $\rightarrow$ {"The tired trainer ran home", "The tired instructor ran home", ...}. Such concept augmentation improves performance, but it remains unclear whether its effectiveness depends on where in the sentence the concept is expressed. We reproduce and extend prior work $\textit{beyond nouns}$ to verbs and adjectives, asking whether the part of speech (POS) carrying the concept signal affects perplexity and downstream performance. We find different patterns across evaluation settings: concept augmentation improves perplexity most consistently on news, independent of the POS used, whereas verbs provide the most reliable downstream gains. Despite these behavioral differences, representational analyses using CKA and linear probing show that the conditions yielding the largest downstream gains are not necessarily those that most alter the model's internal representations. Together, these results suggest that the effectiveness of concept augmentation depends on where and how conceptual information is introduced during training.

arXiv:2610.29841v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The mid-wave infrared (MWIR, 3-5 microns) is indispensable for thermal sensing, gas detection, long-range imaging, and free-space optical communications. Meta-optics offer a compact, lightweight, and potentially low-cost alternative to conventional refractive optics, making them attractive for size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained systems. However, their strong chromatic dispersion has largely restricted imaging to narrow spectral bands. Here, we demonstrate broadband imaging across the full 3-5 micron MWIR band using a single-layer silicon metasurface coupled with computational reconstruction. Remarkably, the reconstruction model is adapted using only four image captures, overcoming large training data requirements and enabling broadband image recovery despite the strongly wavelength-dependent optical response. In contrast to approaches that engineer complex, dispersion-optimized metalens profiles for broadband operation, our method leverages the wavelength-dependent information encoded by a simple 2cm diameter hyperboloid metalens. We show that this metasurface captures sufficient broadband intensity information for computational reconstruction across the entire MWIR band. These results establish a simple route toward broadband computational meta-optics without requiring broadband achromatic metalens designs, offering a promising platform for compact MWIR imaging systems.

arXiv:2610.29832v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Calibrating large language models (LLMs) in open-ended generation is uniquely challenging because many distinct token sequences can express the same underlying meaning. Prior calibration techniques target either fixed-set classification confidence or the binary correctness of individual strings, making them inherently ill-suited for the dynamic, multi-string nature of open-ended semantic outcomes. To bridge this gap, we introduce S-EDL, a novel evidential method that natively optimizes LLMs for semantic calibration. By eliciting evidence from the sequence likelihoods of the model itself, S-EDL constructs a differentiable Dirichlet prior over prompt-specific semantic classes. Optimizing the evidential loss under this prior yields a calibration-aware training signal over variable semantic classes, completely bypassing the need for fixed multiple-choice options. Evaluations across four open-ended benchmarks and three models demonstrate that S-EDL substantially reduces semantic calibration error while improving accuracy. By aligning generative likelihoods with semantic correctness, this work establishes a framework for deploying trustworthy LLMs in complex, open-ended applications.

arXiv:2610.29829v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: General-purpose robots must handle tasks, objects and environments they were never trained on, yet zero-shot generalization remains one of the least solved problems in physical AI. In digital AI, zero-shot capability grew with the volume and, above all, the diversity of training data, much of it sourced from the crowd. Robotics instead relies on paid collection by a few well-funded teams, which yields volume without diversity. We formulate zero-shot generalization in physical AI as coverage of the deployment distribution, and show that more samples from the same collectors shrink the unseen region only slowly, while each new contributor can extend it. Building on this and on zero-shot learning, we propose a shared latent space for robot actions that combines multi-modal alignment, generative augmentation, and noisy-label learning. As a scalable source of diverse data, we propose a community of developers building applications on one standard, approachable robot, Origami. We close with a testable hypothesis and an evaluation protocol relating real-robot zero-shot success to the diversity of contributed data.

arXiv:2610.29823v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent memory systems such as Mem0 and Zep decide what to keep before any question arrives; coding agents keep the raw history and let the model search it with its own tools. We ask whether designed memory still helps once the model is strong enough to search for itself. On one LoCoMo conversation (419 turns, 152 questions), we run four memory methods (full context, BM25, Mem0, Zep) and three coding agents (Pi, Codex, Claude Code), each with GPT-4o-mini, GPT-6 Luna and Claude Opus 5.5, and record what every rollout costs. This is a short empirical study, with one conversation and one run per cell. Agent memory is a costly patch for a weak model: Mem0 beats full context only with GPT-4o-mini, and its build alone costs more than a whole full-context rollout. Agent memory also has a ceiling, set by the model that writes it: a stronger reader does not recover what a weaker writer left out. With Claude Opus 5.5, Pi tops the cost-accuracy frontier, scoring 99% for less than half the cost of full context; its one miss is a wrong answer key. Part of that lead comes from photo captions that only the agents could read: on the 88 questions whose evidence has no photo, Pi and full context differ by one answer.

arXiv:2610.29785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Asked what to study, which career to pursue, or what product to build, large language models (LLMs) often recommend AI-related options. We ask where this tendency comes from by comparing models before and after fine-tuning and by varying how questions are asked. First, pretrained models already include explicit AI/ML terms in the recommendations of 27% of their responses, and their released instruction-tuned versions do so in 59%. Second, fine-tuning models ourselves shows that this rise is not inevitable: general instruction tuning leaves the rate unchanged, but removing the 7% of instruction examples that concern AI cuts it by 14 percentage points, below the level of the pretrained models it starts from. Data rewarding helpfulness raise it by 9 points, while data ranked by the preferences of diverse simulated users lower it by 9. Finally, with models held fixed, asking for the "best" option or for what to do "right now" raises the rate by 8 and 18 points, whereas telling the model it is an AI advisor adds 4. Overall, the tendency starts in pretraining, and what models learn afterward, together with how a question is phrased, decides how strongly it appears.

arXiv:2610.29749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate software engineering artifacts written in domain-specific languages (DSLs). Correct DSL instances usually must comply with not only the concrete syntax but also the abstract syntax defined by a metamodel augmented with semantic well-formedness constraints. Existing constrained decoding approaches typically guarantee compliance only with concrete syntax or with a limited set of semantic constraints expressed over the generated text, making metamodel-level constraint consistency difficult to enforce during generation. We present MeMoDecode: a decoding framework that enforces a DSL's concrete syntax, abstract syntax, and well-formedness constraints jointly. Specifically, whenever the LLM generates a complete metamodel concept, MeMoDecode incrementally maps the current output to a partial model and verifies whether it can still be completed into a consistent instance. We combine MeMoDecode with a simple retry mechanism that resumes decoding from the most recent completable snapshot whenever an inconsistency is detected. Under a sound backend verifier, MeMoDecode never performs worse than grammar-constrained decoding on alignment metrics satisfying natural assumptions. Across four DSLs and six open-weight LLMs ranging from 0.6B to 70B parameters, MeMoDecode achieves the highest consistency, improving consistency by 23% on average over unconstrained decoding and by 8% on average over grammar-constrained decoding. It also improves benchmark performance while incurring only modest runtime overhead. These results show that metamodel-guided decoding is an effective approach for enforcing DSL consistency during decoding across diverse DSLs and LLM scales.

arXiv:2610.29733v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion transformers are widely used in image-editing services. To preserve both efficiency and privacy, existing systems commonly rely on cloud-device collaboration. Keeping request-specific inference on the device avoids sending personal images and prompts to the cloud. These workloads often use common templates, such as in face swapping and virtual try-on, enabling KV state to be precomputed and reused across requests. However, this reusable state is large and scales with the number of templates, making it impractical to store all of them on mobile devices. Storing them in the cloud addresses this capacity issue, but cache transfer is placed onto the inference path and can even be slower than on-device computation, especially under fluctuating mobile networks. We introduce SAKURA, a cloud-edge architecture that delivers reusable attention state to mobile devices under a bandwidth budget. It first uses a fine-grained token-importance-aware compression method to preserve image quality under limited transfer budgets. At runtime, SAKURA adaptively selects the cache representation for each upcoming shard based on network bandwidth. To enable efficient execution, we develop a pipelined runtime that overlaps cache transfer and reconstruction with on-device execution. We evaluate SAKURA using three editing tasks and two diffusion models, using a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phone. SAKURA reduces latency by 1.82x and 3.27x over CacheGen adapted to DiT and on-device generation, respectively. It also reduces cache storage by 3.06x over uncompressed cache, while preserving image quality.

arXiv:2610.29725v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A common application of the process mining discipline is to connect observed event data with Petri nets, which are bipartite, directed graphical process models with rich formal underpinnings. Recent work learns vector representations of Petri nets to retrieve process models and relate them to event logs, but leaves implicit two key aspects hidden within the net's structure: directed cycles (process loops) and invariants recorded by the net's incidence matrix. We expose both of these to message-passing graph neural networks, through a positional encoding built from return probabilities of directed place-transition walks (PNRWPE), and through same-type messages gated by diffusion kernels of the incidence matrix (DA-PNGNN). Our constructions raise macro balanced accuracy in predicting the generation factors of the 96 Process Discovery Contest 2023 models from 0.751 to 0.796 with PNRWPE, which nearly doubles accuracy on process loops, and to 0.830 with DA-PNGNN, which, without retuning, also improves net-to-tree retrieval top-1 accuracy on the self-supervised ProcRosetta benchmark by 4.1 to 5.9 points.
