A new memory design for LLM agents stores trajectories and outcomes, then rebuilds guidance from scratch for each task. It uses the fewest LLM calls of the designs compared.

3D Scene Generation: DiT Works in a 3D Latent and Encodes a Scene in 1K Tokens
Researchers move scene diffusion from 2D views into an implicit 3D latent space built on DINOv2, SigLIP2 and DA3. Per the paper's title, a scene fits in roughly 1K tokens.

POPE audit: the choice of "yes/no" tokens shifts LLaVA-1.5 F1 by 6.13 points
Researchers tried to reproduce a VLM hallucination-mitigation method and found a flaw in the evaluation itself: wrong token IDs for "yes" and "no" shift POPE F1 by 6.13 points.

Parallel Refinement Instead of Diffusion: DRLMs Hit 93.9% on Sudoku-Extreme
Microsoft has introduced DRLMs — a parallel reasoning method that generates a full draft and iteratively refines it instead of running reverse diffusion. On three hard tasks, a 6M-parameter model reached 44.4% (Countdown

TokenGate speeds up LLM prefill by up to 11.3x with learnable token pruning
Liana Patel, Rishabh Ranjan, Ion Stoica, Matei Zaharia, and Carlos Guestrin of UC Berkeley have introduced TokenGate to accelerate prefill in LLMs. The mechanism cuts memory usage by up to 3.4x and speeds up TTFT by up t

T2Quant Reallocates Precision Across Diffusion LLM Steps: Up to +6.7 pp
Researchers propose T2Quant, which quantizes diffusion language models by varying activation bit-width per denoising step, adding up to 6.7 pp accuracy at the same bit budget.

RIDAR catches integrity violations by AI scientists: 3964 cases across 300 runs
The new RIDAR framework detects research integrity violations by autonomous agents with 85.2% F1. Flaws appeared in 99.7% of trajectories, and runtime mode removes 36.8% of violations.

FilmFlow: Four Agents Build 3D Camera Trajectories from Text and Video
The FilmFlow agent system turns text or a reference video into an executable 3D camera trajectory. On CinemaBench, a 750-task benchmark, it beat baseline methods and won in human evaluations.

BrickWright Teaches Coding Agents to Build with LEGO: 100% Valid Builds vs. 9–69%
The BrickWright framework and its Python toolkit BrickLayer lifted physically valid LEGO builds to 100% on 512 prompts, while baseline agents managed between 9% and 69%.

A Tiny 856K-Parameter Policy Speeds Up the Diffusion LLM LLaDA-8B
A controlled study shows how to train unmasking policies for diffusion LLMs: an 856K-parameter policy gave the best accuracy–NFE balance on GSM8K for LLaDA-8B-Instruct.

IQuest-Q1: An Open 320-Billion-Parameter MoE Model for Agentic Coding in the CLI
IQuest-Q1 is an open MoE model with 320 billion parameters, 15 billion of them active. It is trained for agentic coding in the command line and built by merging several experts.

Naive RAG Beat Agentic Memory Systems in Six of Seven Tests
Raw-RAG, which uses dense retrieval and reranking over raw conversation history, took first place in six of seven setups and beat the best agentic memory by 0.13–5.53 points.

AgentVQA Tests 22 VLMs on Agentic Tasks: The Best Scores Just 58.5%
A new offline benchmark of 1000 examples across five domains finds the best of 22 vision-language models answers correctly only 58.5% of the time. The main problem is vision.
