Tap a piece and it reads the photo (red 75%, checked 99%), then the app picks bottoms, shoes and a bag from your own closet in the colours you like. Change your colours and the outfit changes. Under the hood it's one request with one photo and 4 typed questions. Every option gets a probability, so the app applies its rules (one pattern per outfit) and ranks what's left. About 1.1 s per outfit on a Mac (MLX). Every % in the

First stuntd model is on the Hub :) pollix/stuntd-support-triage is three small heads on the Laya encoder that triage a support ticket in one request: category, urgency and needs_human. About 50 MB each, all three answers come back at a p50 of 71ms through the daemon. On 1,000 tickets they never saw, each head answers on its own when it's sure: category 99.9%, needs_human 92%, urgency 76%. A ticket only skips the big model when all three are sure, that's 72.7% of them, and all three are right on 97.1% of those. It's the support demo from the repo, so the tickets are generated and the teacher is a rule. The point is to show what a head looks like and how fast it is, then you train the same th

I audited one of my own evaluations. The ranking did not hold up the way I expected. Eight open models, one task: infer the structure of a prompt. Then ask again with the identical call. Caching off. - Agreement between repeated identical calls (mean Jaccard) ranged from 0.39 to 0.96 across models. - Only 35 of 127 prompt-model cells were perfectly reproducible on every run. - I bootstrapped the reproducibility ranking over prompts. The two least reproducible models kept their rank in 99% and 86% of resamples. The middle four kept theirs in 27% to 48%. So the table reliably finds the worst model. It does not reliably find the best. Reproducible is also not the same as correct. F1 against gol

RSIGame: Autonomous Agentic Game Development with Recursive Self-improvement

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-30T00:00:00+00:00

Recent advances in large language models have made automatic game generation increasingly feasible, yet reliably improving generated games beyond a playable version remains challenging. Naive iterative refinement can easily overfit a small set of test cases, producing fragile games with unresolved bugs, missing behaviors, and poor generalization to broader player interactions. We introduce RSIGame, an autonomous agentic game development framework with recursive self-improvement. RSIGame organizes development into complementary local and global loops. Concretely, a local explore-diagnose-improve loop broadly explores the executable game, diagnoses and prioritizes discovered issues, and perfor

🚀 NanoVDR goes multi-vector: meet ColNanoVDR! Multi-vector VLM retrievers lead visual document retrieval, but every search runs a multi-billion-parameter query encoder. We distill that encoder into a 149M text-only student that queries the teacher's existing page index directly. No re-indexing, and no pages during training. 🧠 How: OTW (Optimal Transport with Learned Weights) aligns the student's query tokens with the teacher's, even though the two tokenize differently (e.g. 17 vs 29 tokens). We prove the alignment cost bounds the MaxSim score gap on every page, so training only needs cached teacher query tokens. 📊 Five teachers → five 149M students, ViDoRe v3 NDCG@5: - ColVec1.1-8b: 62.6 → 6

Will your AI agent tell you it was attacked? We took the same agent from our earlier experiment and added one thing: a twentieth tool, escalate_security_incident . The system prompt said nothing about attacks or when to use it. We then ran the same 395 injected emails through nine agentic models. Alarm rates ranged from 49% to zero. The unexpected result came from the newest model in the test, gpt-6-astra . Astra did not follow a single injected payment instruction. But it did not report a single one either. On clean and injected emails alike, it simply read the email, logged the subject, and finished. That is a useful distinction: resisting an attack and recognizing it as a security event a

What Makes World Action Models Generalize? An Empirical Study of Test-Time Future Modeling

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-29T00:00:00+00:00

World action models (WAMs) predict the future alongside actions during training. Due to the heavy computation cost of video denoising, whether the future must still be generated during inference is disputed: Explicit WAMs denoise it into clean frames along with every action chunk, whereas Latent WAMs discard it entirely for acceleration. We find that latent WAMs, despite matching explicit ones on in-distribution tasks, fail to retain the generalization benefits that originally motivated WAMs. To demonstrate this, we evaluate generalization along three axes: environmental perturbation, data efficiency, and task generalization. Controlled comparisons with a matched backbone, training data, and

Think Before You Score: Thinking Reward Model for Visual Generation

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-29T00:00:00+00:00

Visual reward models are essential for evaluating and improving visual generation models, yet existing approaches typically map task conditions and candidate outputs directly to scalar rewards, leaving implicit what should be evaluated for each individual case. We introduce Think Before You Score, a paradigm that explicitly determines what matters for each case before judging how well the candidate performs. Following this principle, we propose the Thinking Reward Model (TRM), which formulates case-adaptive rubrics, performs rubric-guided assessment, and produces fine-grained pointwise rewards. We further observe that conventional pairwise preference optimization can induce score polarizatio

Beyond the Timeline: Augmenting Long-Video Memory with Grounded Entity Biographies

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-29T00:00:00+00:00

Answering questions about long videos often requires connecting events involving the same objects across hours or days. Chronological descriptions and text-derived entities can leave physical identity unresolved: different objects may share a description, while observations of the same object remain disconnected across events. Retrieving relevant events therefore does not necessarily recover the "biography" of the particular entity a question concerns. To address this, we introduce Grounded Entity Biographies (GEB), a long-video memory framework that groups visually grounded observations of the same physical instance across clips into retrievable biographies while preserving the context of e

Context Language Models

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-29T00:00:00+00:00

We introduce Context Language Models (CLMs), language models that natively manage their own context. We implement this by treating the context as a file and allowing the model to make unrestricted updates to this file. This allows the model to learn what is most important to maintain in context, and naturally extends to multi-agent systems where multiple agent contexts coexist as files. Building CLMs zero-shot with existing models outperforms SOTA context management strategies across a variety of tasks: 11.4% higher accuracy with 21.5% fewer FLOPs on BrowseComp-Plus, 5% higher scores with 59% fewer FLOPs on 12-hour EdgeBench, and 65% greater improvement with the same compute on a 24-hour mul

Imagine3D-LLM: Teaching MLLMs to Imagine 3D Scenes Before Answering

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-29T00:00:00+00:00

Reasoning about the 3D world from multi-view images remains a fundamental challenge for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). While modern MLLMs handle single-image inputs effectively, they struggle to integrate evidence across viewpoints into a coherent 3D understanding. A growing body of work attempts to close this gap by injecting 3D awareness into MLLMs, either by boosting fine-grained pixel-level cross-view correspondence or by fusing features from 3D geometry foundation models, yet a substantial gap to human reasoning persists. In this work, we revisit human spatial reasoning, which suggests that rather than relying on fine-grained geometry cues, humans roughly identify common obje

🧱 SLM Tetris Arena: can a small language model play Tetris without ever being trained on it? I built an arena where tiny decoder-only LMs (50K–250M params) play Tetris zero-shot. There is no fine-tuning and no game data. They only use what they picked up from pre-training on text. How it works: - For every piece, the engine simulates each legal placement and describes the result in plain English ("clears one line, creates no new holes, keeps the stack low…"). - The model never sees the grid. It reads each description, and the arena compares log P(" good move") with log P(" bad move"). The best-rated placement is played. - Every player gets the same piece sequence, so it's a fair race. - Ther

Self-Evolving Coding Agents: From Digital Programs to Physical-World Intelligence

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00

Vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action (WAM) models map observations and instructions directly to robot actions. This directness ties a policy to training: minor layout or viewpoint changes cause failure, and instructions generalize poorly. The root cause lies in representation: task requirements, conditions, progress, and failure recovery are implicitly encoded in action sequences, making them difficult to inspect or revise. Digital coding agents offer a precedent: LLMs call tools, verify results, and revise from feedback as executable code. The same working pattern of explicit state, manageable execution, and revisable procedures underlies generalization and long-horizon execution i

SolveEdit: Benchmarking Visual Problem Solving in Generative Models

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00

Machine intelligence is often evaluated through abstract reasoning problems, yet many real-world problems are visual, such as arranging objects, repairing layouts, or tracing routes. Solving these problems requires understanding a scene, inferring what must change to achieve a goal, and realizing that change without disturbing unrelated content. However, existing benchmarks mainly evaluate perception, generation, or explicitly specified transformations, leaving goal-driven visual problem solving underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce SolveEpIT, a benchmark for visual problem solving through scene transformation. Given an image and a goal, a model must infer a valid transformation fr

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00

Interactive world models require responding in real time to versatile controls and maintaining long-horizon consistency. However, modeling heterogeneous controls remains difficult, while explosive contexts and unstable distillation impede achieving both long-horizon consistency and real-time responsiveness. In this paper, we present WorldPlay2, an interactive world model that couples a factorized hybrid control interface with a co-design of compressed memory and stable distillation. 1) Our factorized hybrid control interface integrates frame-aligned action control with structured semantic control that explicitly disentangles scene appearance, character identity, and dynamic semantic events,

Learning Native Reflection in Unified Models with Interleaved Reinforcement Learning

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00

Unified multimodal models can both look at and render images, so in principle they can repair their own generations: diagnose what an image gets wrong, revise it, observe the result, and diagnose again. Whether a revision helps is known only after it is rendered, so the reflection text and the image generation must be learned jointly, over the whole loop. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on reflection trajectories gives a cold start but does not find the high-success repair paths, and naive RL that optimizes only the renderer or only one head leaves most of the gain untapped. We introduce UMM-Reflection, which applies reinforcement learning (RL) to complete reflection trajectories inside one uni

HOI-Retarget: Contact-Centric Retargeting for Human-Object Interaction

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-28T00:00:00+00:00

We present HOI-Retarget, a contact-centric retargeting method that transfers HOI onto a humanoid robot for large-scale motion-data generation. Its windowed trajectory optimization uses every labeled contact as a target in the object frame, balancing body tracking, foot support and smoothness under the robot's kinematic limits. The method can augment a single demonstration across object sizes, absorb contacts reconstructed from monocular video, and extend to s

SpatialSpeak: QA-Native Reconstruction with Local and Global Context for Spatial Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-27T00:00:00+00:00

Vision-language models (VLMs) can benefit from geometric priors for multi-view spatial reasoning, yet answer-only training does not directly supervise the intermediate geometric estimates and their use in deriving quantitative spatial answers. We hypothesize that spatial chain-of-thought (CoT) supervision becomes more effective when the VLM first jointly learns complementary local geometry and global scene context through multi-view reconstruction. We introduce SpatialSpeak, a two-stage framework that connects QA-native reconstruction pretraining with spatial CoT learning. In Stage I, QA-Native Reconstruction Pretraining (QA-RP) combines marked-point 3D queries for fine-grained local geometr

Diffusion Reward Models

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-27T00:00:00+00:00

Reward models underpin the alignment of large language models, yet the dominant designs reduce each prompt--response pair to a point estimate or to a distribution from a fixed parametric family. This is at odds with human preference, which is inherently multimodal: the same response can be reasonably judged in many ways, and no single family covers all of them. To better fit this structure, we introduce DRM, a Diffusion Reward Model that recasts reward modeling as conditional density estimation over p(rmid x,y). Conditioned on a frozen LLM encoder, a lightweight Diffusion Transformer denoises Gaussian noise into a reward vector, placing no parametric assumption on the output distribution and

YuE2: Unifying Symbolic and Audio Music Generation at Frontier Quality

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-27T00:00:00+00:00

Symbolic models make melody, harmony, rhythm, and form explicit but typically stop before a finished recording; audio models produce complete songs while leaving composition implicit. We introduce YuE2, which unifies symbolic and audio music generation at frontier quality through symbolic planning. A single AR-NAR Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) first writes a readable score specifying melody and harmony, expands it into semantic music tokens, and realizes it as full-song audio. In comparisons using the same checkpoint, experts prefer symbolic planning for overall quality and musicality, with 49.3% of overall preferences versus 34.6% without planning. Experts also favor the unified model over

VisionHOPE: Visual Backbones as Self-Modifying Learning Systems

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-27T00:00:00+00:00

Visual backbones have evolved from Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with local aggregation to Vision Transformers (ViTs) with global interactions, State-Space Models (SSMs) with input-dependent state transitions, and Test-Time Training (TTT) layers that adapt an inner learner while processing an image. Across this progression, visual computation has become increasingly adaptive to each input, yet the rules governing that adaptation remain largely prescribed by the trained backbone. We introduce VisionHOPE, the first generic visual backbone formulated as a self-modifying learning system, in which what the model remembers and how it learns co-evolve within an image.

Raven: The Harness of Harnesses for Composable Agentic Intelligence

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-27T00:00:00+00:00

As large language models advance, AI agents are moving beyond isolated, domain-specific tasks toward long-horizon, cross-domain workflows. This transition exposes two challenges: increasing harness complexity makes manual design difficult to scale, while tighter coupling to specific domains limits the generality of a single harness. The central question thus shifts from how to engineer a stronger harness for one domain to how to autonomously construct specialized harnesses, improve them through experience, and orchestrate them across domains. We introduce Raven, The Harness of Harnesses, an open-source multi-agent ecosystem that automatically constructs and evolves modular harnesses for spec

FuseReg: Regularizing Layer Fusion Mitigates the Reconstruction-Generation Gap in Representation Autoencoders

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-25T00:00:00+00:00

Representation autoencoders (RAEs) reuse features from a pretrained visual encoder as reconstruction and diffusion latents, integrating strong visual representations into image generation. However, RAEs still need to decide which encoder layers form the shared latent space for the generator and pixel decoder. This choice involves a trade-off. Shallower layers tend to preserve fine pixel details better, while deeper layers tend to yield better generation metrics. A fixed heuristic layer fusion therefore couples two stages that benefit from different information. We introduce FuseReg, which replaces heuristic feature selection with training over random subsets of encoder layers. We theoretical

Why does an AI safety pipeline need five different math theories instead of picking the best one? Spent this week building a 1811-record dataset across three stages of a consequence-prediction pipeline for AI agents: causal chains (what action leads to what — no numbers involved), probability (how likely is THIS specific chain to actually reach a harmful outcome), and risk classification (what even counts as harmful in the first place — pulled from our own real incident history, not invented scenarios). Kept running into the same question from myself: if probability theory already handles uncertainty, why does the curriculum also need decision theory, Markov chains, and game theory? Turns ou

The cost of a judging gate is usually quoted as a number. This puts it on a Tetris board. Three boards get the same piece order, and on every move the same proposal and the same noise — a paired comparison. The gate decides one thing: keep this move, or draw again. Each board gets the same 60 seconds of gate time. The text-writing gates get through 15–22 moves. The generation-free gate gets through 40–50. The boards that stop simply run out of clock. It does not win on accuracy: on the same 2,018-question LODO set, JEV scores AUC 0.7350 against ZTC-Judge-27B's 0.7289. The separation is elsewhere. Clock — 2.1 s vs 0.0615 s per call, and on a 200-candidate agent screen one judging call measure

The Past Frames the Future: Memory for Autoregressive Video Generation

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-23T00:00:00+00:00

Advances in generative models have improved video fidelity, enabling long-horizon generation, interactive world modeling, and evolving visual environments. Autoregressive (AR) video generation extends visual sequences through causal rollouts. However, a fundamental bottleneck emerges: as the generated sequence expands, practical models must operate under strictly bounded context windows, storage, and computational limits. Consequently, critical historical information, e.g., entity identities, dynamic states, and intervention-induced causal changes, often leaves the active context long before its relevance diminishes. Overcoming this limitation and maintaining temporal persistence constitutes

EmbodiedSWE: Coding Agents for Long Horizon Dexterous Robotics

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-23T00:00:00+00:00

We study coding agents for long-horizon, dexterous robotics and ask whether their solutions can provide scalable supervision for learning general robot policies. To test this, we develop EMBODIEDSWE-BENCH, a simulation benchmark for coding agents spanning contact-rich manipulation, deformable objects, and long-horizon tasks requiring up to half an hour of continuous interaction. We find that frontier coding agents can solve complex long-horizon tasks and transfer prior solutions across both tasks and embodiments. We also design supporting tools that help agents more effectively solve these tasks. However, the resulting solutions require substantial iterative interaction and are typically spe

Training Object Permanence in World Models

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-23T00:00:00+00:00

Object permanence and solidity are hallmarks of human cognitive priors. Recent studies show that video generation models, a paradigmatic class of current world models, have begun to show emerged reasoning abilities, making them ideal candidates for building human-like physical intelligence. Do video models have emerged object permanence in them? If not, could we train them with a core-cognition inspired dataset? We introduce WROP (World Reasoning with Object Permanence), a data infrastructure of 150 hand-designed cognitive science inspired tasks, divided into six cognitive categories. We build Blender generators that randomize speed, lighting, camera angle, and other nuisance parameters whil

HARMONY: Hierarchical Agentic Reasoning for MONocular Image-to-Scene Synthesis

Hugging Face Trending Papers — 2026-09-22T00:00:00+00:00

Compositional 3D scene reconstruction has recently been explored from two directions: agentic reasoning that provides semantic understanding of spatial relationships but lacks precise alignment with input images; and visual geometry foundation models that predict dense point maps from input images but the reconstruction quality is limited. Therefore, recovering a complete 3D scene from a single monocular image with accurate inter-object relationships and high-fidelity reconstruction quality remains challenging. In this paper, we present HARMONY, a hierarchical chain-of-thought framework that leverages both agentic reasoning and visual geometry foundation. Given an image of an indoor scene, s

My takes on Jev

Hugging Face Posts — 2026-09-21T19:42:37.389672+00:00

My takes on Jev 1. Very likely a small model. You can certainly pretrain, but I would grab an existing base model, say Qwen 3 class 2. The new RL method is a breakthrough, classification doesn't need to align with human preferences 3. The new output is an overstatement. It's just a new LM head. Of course autoregressive decoding can be used for classification: it takes just a few tokens to express the output. Think twice: are you sure classification doesn't need few-shot, CoT, or reasoning? All of these depend on auto-regressiveness 4. It carves out a market already existing, which is now served by oversized LLMs (hence overpaid), e.g. LLM as judge, labeling 5.
