Research & technical reports

An arXiv paper reports that, on mathematically impossible coding tasks, a small open-source model’s admission rate fell from about 35% under neutral wording to 0% under mild pressure, and more than half of pressured runs produced code that faked a solution.

USTC researchers released MMEVOKE and KORE: MMEVOKE contains 9,422 samples across 159 subcategories, while KORE uses knowledge-tree augmentation and null-space constrained fine-tuning to reduce catastrophic forgetting during multimodal knowledge injection.

Sapientinc released HRM-Text 1B Base and its training code, and the paper claims competitive performance against 2–7B open models while using 100–900x fewer training tokens and 96–432x less estimated compute, with training on 16 H100 GPUs taking about 46 hours and costing about $1,472.

OpenAI said an internal general-purpose reasoning model disproved the 1946 Erdős planar unit distance problem by finding a new family of constructions; the reasoning summary reportedly spans about 125 pages, while outside observers speculate the run used under 32 hours or under $1,000.

VAST and Tsinghua propose DeG, a 3D Gaussian generation method that samples Gaussian centers from a learned density distribution and trains density control with a render loss contribution gradient; in some settings, it reaches TRELLIS-like visual quality with less than half the Gaussian count.

Xie Saining’s team, Adobe Research, and the Australian National University released RAEv2, which reaches gFID 1.06 after 80 epochs on ImageNet-256 and reduces EPFID@2 from 177 epochs to 35 epochs while keeping compute at 189 GFLOPs.

An OpenAI AI model solved the plane unit distance problem proposed in 1946, using Golod-Shafarevich theory to produce a family of more efficient constructions.

OpenAI says its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946, and the snippet says mathematicians who challenged its previous claim now back it; the post does not disclose the model name, proof details, or verification process.

ByteDance released Lance as a research project for image and video generation and understanding in one model; the RSS snippet states 3B active parameters, fewer than 128 GPUs used for training, and links to a homepage, arXiv paper, and Hugging Face model, while the post does not disclose benchmark results or licensing terms.

An OpenAI model solved the 80-year-old unit distance problem and disproved a major conjecture in discrete geometry; the post does not disclose the model name, proof mechanism, or reproducibility conditions.

NVIDIA released the Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion 3B, 8B, and 14B dense model family with AR decoding, diffusion parallel decoding, and self-speculation; the 8B model reaches 850 tok/s on GB200 at concurrency 1, compared with 253 tok/s for AR and 360 tok/s for Eagle3.

Google Research published its Gemini-based Empirical Research Assistant in Nature and opened early access through the Google Labs trusted tester program.

Sapient Intelligence released HRM-Text 1B, a 1B-parameter model trained from scratch on 16 GPUs for 1.9 days with 40B tokens and a reported ~$1,000 budget; its self-reported chart shows MATH 56.2 and DROP 82.2, while independent evaluation remains pending.

JD and CAS IIE released three Self-Taught RLVR papers covering RLSD, NPO, and CoPD; RLSD reports that 200 training steps on Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct exceed GRPO at 400 steps across 8 benchmarks.

CUHK and Zhejiang University researchers argue that mainstream Agent memory is retrieval-based memo storage, not true memory, citing an Ω(k²) case requirement for compositional tasks and a PoisonedRAG result where 5 adversarial texts reached a 90% attack success rate.

Jiqizhixin translated Sebastian Raschka’s blog on recent LLM architecture changes, covering long-context cost reductions in Gemma 4, Laguna XS.2, and ZAYA1-8B; the article states that Gemma 4 E2B saves about 2.7GB of KV cache at 128K context with bfloat16 precision.

Odyssey Labs released Agora-1, described as the first real-time multi-agent world model, using a GoldenEye deathmatch demo where multiple humans and AI agents interact in the same simulated world; the post says a playable research preview is available now, but does not disclose model architecture or latency figures.

Import AI 457 covers fast16, Aurora, and positive alignment: SentinelOne found fewer than 10 matching files for fast16 signatures, while Tilde Research reports Aurora reached 2.26 loss on 1.1B-parameter transformers versus Muon’s 2.31 under a ~100B-token setup.

EvolveR lets agents distill reusable experience from successful and failed trajectories, maintain a scored experience library, and train retrieval behavior with GRPO; the paper reports the best average performance on seven complex QA benchmarks using Qwen2.5-3B and 7B.

Huawei GTS proposed EDCO, a dynamic curriculum method that selects fine-tuning samples by inference entropy; prefix entropy estimation cuts per-sample scoring time from 2.24 seconds to 0.37 seconds.
