Abstract:Frontier agentic systems powered by large language models (LLMs) exhibit human-like patterns of cognition. As these systems become deeply integrated across different domains, their cognitive engagement raises critical concerns for human society that remain insufficiently studied. To address this gap, we systematically analyze risks induced by expanding cognitive capabilities, following a three-level framework defined by their cognitive scope, from physical cognition to social cognition, and finally to self-referential cognition. We study their potential risks to human agency, autonomy, and control capability, corresponding to each cognitive level. We finally propose strategies to mitigate these risks and enhance the controllability of agentic AI systems, ensuring their long-term safe development.
Abstract:We introduce Mobius-v0, an architecture that comprises a globally shared Memory (FFN) that stores knowledge vectors and multiple Reasoners (Self-Attn) that iteratively achieve compositional reasoning. Using hidden states as cache and carrier, reasoners repeatedly query memory for required knowledge-vectors, while the knowledge is transmitted back to reasoning operators. Through this knowledge-reasoning-separation architecture, Mobius achieves better knowledge compression and reasoning efficiency. Built upon Mobius-v0 architecture: 1) Our 7B model trained-from-scratch achieves similar downstream score as a 7B Transformer baseline with 62.6% of baseline's training data. 2) Our Intern-S2-Mobius, continually-pretrained from Qwen3.5-35B, achieves similar downstream score while delivering nearly 4x end-to-end inference speedup.
Abstract:Scientific discovery increasingly requires AI systems that can reason over scientific evidence of heterogeneous modalities, interact with scientific tools and environments, and sustain progress across long task horizons. We present Intern-S2-Preview, a series of scientific agentic foundation models designed to support multimodal scientific understanding, reasoning, generation, and long-horizon tasks. The training pipeline begins with scientific multimodal pre-training over rendered scientific documents, interleaved image-text data, and diverse scientific corpora. Starting from the pretrained checkpoint, we apply a unified post-training pipeline consisting of supervised fine-tuning, scalable multi-task reinforcement learning (RL), black- and white-box agentic RL, and on-policy distillation. This pipeline is supported by practical techniques that improve rollout and training stability and efficiency, including partial rollout with off-policy correction, adaptive length regularization, online speculative decoding, robust multi-task optimization, and trace-aware experience assembly for agentic tasks. At the architecture level, Intern-S2-Preview-397B extends time series modelling from efficient long-sequence understanding to numerical forecasting, while Memory Decoder is studied as a separate memory-augmented path for rapid scientific specialization without modifying the frozen 397B backbone. Evaluations across scientific, multimodal, agentic, and general-purpose benchmarks show that Intern-S2-Preview-397B achieves competitive or leading results in multiple settings. The time series modules improve scientific signal understanding and forecasting on SciTS, while the separate Intern-MemDec-4B extension improves the Biology-Instructions average score from 56.92 to 60.32 without modifying the frozen 397B backbone.
Abstract:Transformers owe much of their strong long-context retrieval capability to a token-level memory that grows with context length. This flexibility, however, incurs a quadratic computation complexity during training and a key--value cache that grows linearly during autoregressive inference. Recurrent alternatives offer efficient decoding by compressing the entire history into a fixed-size state, but often underperform on recall-intensive tasks since earlier associations usually get overwritten by subsequent updates, and only the most recent contextual information is retained. In this paper, we introduce Memory-Anchor Routing across Context History (MARCH), a network architecture that effectively scales state-space models beyond a fixed-size dimension, while maintaining computational efficiency over long-sequences. MARCH periodically caches cumulative recurrent-state checkpoints as state anchors and associates each anchor with a compact, content-conditioned anchor key. This lets MARCH maintain a memory bank, which can grow as context length increases, providing a controllable trade-off between historical resolution and memory cost. At each token, MARCH produces an anchor query to attend all causally available state anchors, and the output is calculated as an attention-style aggregation over all historical anchors along the current state. We show that after standard pretraining, MARCH consistently outperforms multiple linear attention variants across commonsense reasoning, LongBench, and in-context retrieval. These results demonstrate that content-routed state caching substantially strengthens recurrent long-range memory while preserving its native computation path.
Abstract:Diffusion models have been widely explored in protein backbone generation due to their powerful generation capabilities.However, in today's AI-driven biological research, predicting the structure of unknown multi-chain protein aggregates (called "complexes" in biology) remains an unsolved challenge.This is because existing static or dynamic protein datasets focus solely on static snapshots or single-entity trajectories, neglecting the dynamic process of multiple monomers forming complexes.To alleviate this dilemma, we present DynaPPI, a dynamic protein dataset comprising molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories of protein complex formation from dissociated chains to the bound state, as a pivotal resource to bridge the gap between static structural biology and the inherently temporal nature of dynamic molecular interactions.Benefiting from this dataset, diffusion models can explicitly learn the dynamic binding trajectories of known complexes and accurately predict the structures of unknown complexes based on their diverse generative properties, thereby further catalyzing AI-driven structural biology and protein interactomics.
Abstract:Streaming world models predict future visual states online while maintaining physically coherent dynamics over long horizons. However, their rollouts often violate basic physical constraints. A common approach distills pretrained bidirectional DiTs into few-step causal generators. However, this paradigm suffers from two fundamental limitations: generic bidirectional teachers acquire limited physical priors from visually oriented pretraining, and the limited priors suffer further loss during bidirectional-to-causal distillation. We present PhyS, a three-stage framework for distilling physical priors into streaming world models. To acquire physical priors from real-world interactions, we construct PhyS-120K, a dataset of 120K real-world physical-interaction videos spanning rigid-body dynamics, soft-body deformation, fluid phenomena, and phase transitions. Each video is annotated with structured descriptions of object properties and causal state transitions. Physics-aware supervised fine-tuning injects the physical priors into a bidirectional 14B DiT teacher, which we then distill into a lightweight 1.3B causal DiT for few-step autoregressive streaming generation. Finally, we use online reinforcement learning to incentivize the distilled model to generate physically plausible rollouts and further propose Temporal Credit Routing (TCR) to address temporal credit assignment. TCR evaluates physical consistency over overlapping temporal windows and routes the resulting group-relative advantages to temporally aligned denoising actions. On PhysicsIQ, PhyS improves the Wan2.1-14B teacher by 18.2\% and the Self Forcing, Rolling Forcing, and Causal Forcing by 23.7\%, 14.8\%, and 31.4\%, respectively. Results also improve the physics-aware video benchmarks VideoPhy, VideoPhy2, and PhyGenBench. The dataset, code, and more sample videos are available on our Project Page.
Abstract:In organic chemistry papers and patents, molecular structures, reaction schemes, and experimental conditions are often presented as molecular structure depictions, reaction diagrams, and complex tables or figures. Such information is difficult for general-purpose document parsing systems to directly convert into machine-readable data. This limits data production for organic chemistry knowledge base construction and for AI for Chemistry tasks such as reaction prediction, retrosynthesis, condition recommendation, molecular property prediction, and drug molecule design. This report introduces MinerU-Chem, a document parsing system for organic chemistry literature integrated into the MinerU online platform. Built on top of MinerU's general document parsing pipeline, MinerU-Chem adds five chemistry-specific modules: chemistry relevance filtering, molecular structure detection, molecule identifier extraction, molecular structure recognition, and reaction scheme parsing. Together, these modules convert organic-chemistry-related image regions in documents into a Molecule Summary List and a Reaction Summary List. For molecular structure recognition, MinerU-Chem uses CARBON (Complex Atomic Representation and Bonding Object Notation) as its core representation. CARBON enables recognition results to preserve both the visual layout of the original image and complex chemical semantics, while supporting the export of standard downstream formats such as MolFile and SMILES. On the SMILES-evaluable subset of MolRecBench-Wild (N=2,392), MinerU-Chem's molecular structure recognition module achieves a SMILES exact-match accuracy of 93.02%, outperforming the best evaluated comparison system, GPT-5.6-Sol (74.87%), by 18.15 percentage points. The system has been integrated into the MinerU online platform and is available at https://mineru.net/OpenSourceTools/Extractor .
Abstract:Long-context reasoning remains a critical bottleneck for large language models, as recent recurrent-memory approaches face two inherent challenges: sequential chunk-wise updates can overwrite early critical evidence with later irrelevant content, and serial inter-chunk dependencies limit parallelism and cause latency to increase with context length. To address these issues, we propose PI-Mem (Parallel-Iterative Memory), a mechanism that processes all chunks in parallel and iteratively refines a shared memory over a bounded number of turns. In each turn, PI-Mem reads all chunks in parallel conditioned on the current memory, selects new or complementary evidence from each chunk, and merges the selected evidence into a compact shared memory for the next turn. To discourage redundant turns, we optimize the workflow through reinforcement learning with an auxiliary turn-efficiency reward, enabling the model to adaptively exit once sufficient evidence has been accumulated. We evaluate PI-Mem with Qwen3.5-35B-A3B and Qwen2.5-7B on the HotpotQA benchmark across context lengths up to 3.6 million tokens and find that it outperforms the recurrent-memory baseline by +6.25 and +7.81 absolute points while achieving 6.1$\times$ and 2.1$\times$ inference speedups, respectively. These results demonstrate that PI-Mem breaks the accuracy--efficiency trade-off in long-context reasoning and provides a scalable approach to complex multi-hop question answering over extremely long documents.
Abstract:Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced visual understanding and reasoning, yet their static parametric knowledge limits their ability to address knowledge-intensive and dynamically evolving open-world problems. To move beyond this limitation, multimodal deep search has emerged as a key direction for open-world information access, evolving from single-turn factual retrieval toward long-horizon, multi-turn search guided by visual evidence. However, existing methods typically confine vision to the input or answer stage, overlooking its role in intermediate reasoning, and lack designs tailored to long-horizon interaction. Consequently, visual evidence rarely drives continued retrieval, constraining both interaction depth and reasoning span. To address these limitations, we propose DeepVoyager-VL, a long-horizon multimodal deep-search framework for vision-in-the-loop search. Specifically, we construct a multimodal event graph to drive data synthesis, yielding problems with intermediate visual dependencies and long reasoning chains. We then design an agent framework for active visual acquisition and on-demand image loading. Finally, we fine-tune models on the synthesized data without reinforcement learning. Extensive experiments across ten multimodal search benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
Abstract:Recursive self-improvement (RSI) requires AI systems that improve the process of building AI (i.e., AI4AI); machine learning engineering (MLE) offers a concrete, executable testbed for studying this capability. We introduce OpenMLE, an open full-stack system for RSI research in MLE, spanning verifiable task environments with execution feedback (OpenMLE-Gym), operator learning (OpenMLE-RL), and long-horizon search (OpenMLE-Evo). On this stack we post-train Frontis-MA1 (35B) as a meta-evolution agent for MLE, aligning post-training and inference around four atomic program-evolution operators (Draft, Improve, Debug, Crossover): the same operators are trained via execution-grounded SFT and RL on data deduplicated against all evaluation benchmarks, then composed into long-horizon search, coupling learning and evolution in a single loop. On MLE-Bench Lite under a 12-hour per-task budget on one RTX 4090 capped at 12 GB VRAM, Frontis-MA1 (35B) improves Medal Average from 39.39% to 60.61% over its base model with OpenMLE-Evo, and reaches 71.21% with OpenMLE-Evo-Max (benchmark-independent experience priors and asynchronous search), exceeding GPT-5.5 + Codex and approaching GPT-5.6 Sol and the 2.8T Kimi K3. On held-out NatureBench Lite, both components transfer: with the framework fixed, swapping in the trained model raises Match-SOTA from 50% to 70%; with the model fixed, swapping in OpenMLE-Evo raises it from 20% to 50%. We release the model weights and the full OpenMLE stack to enable reproducible research on executable AI4AI toward RSI. Code: https://github.com/FrontisAI/OpenRSI
