TrajGuard: Streaming Hidden-state Trajectory Detection for Decoding-time Jailbreak Defense

Existing jailbreak defense paradigms primarily rely on static detection of prompts, outputs, or internal states, often neglecting the dynamic evolution of risk during decoding. This oversight leaves risk signals embedded in decoding trajectories underutilized, constituting a critical blind spot in current defense systems. In this work, we empirically demonstrate that hidden states in critical layers during the decoding phase carry stronger and more stable risk signals than input jailbreak prompts. Specifically, the hidden representations of tokens generated during jailbreak attempts progressively approach high-risk regions in the latent space. Based on this observation, we propose TrajGuard, a training-free, decoding-time defense framework. TrajGuard aggregates hidden-state trajectories via a sliding window to quantify risk in real time, triggering a lightweight semantic adjudication only when risk within a local window persistently exceeds a threshold. This mechanism enables the immediate interruption or constraint of subsequent decoding. Extensive experiments across 12 jailbreak attacks and various open-source LLMs show that TrajGuard achieves an average defense rate of 95%. Furthermore, it reduces detection latency to 5.2 ms/token while maintaining a false positive rate below 1.5%. These results confirm that hidden-state trajectories during decoding can effectively support real-time jailbreak detection, highlighting a promising direction for defenses without model modification.

Uncertainty Mitigation and Intent Inference: A Dual-Mode Human-Machine Joint Planning System

Effective human-robot collaboration in open-world environments requires joint planning under uncertain conditions. However, existing approaches often treat humans as passive supervisors, preventing autonomous agents from becoming human-like teammates that can actively model teammate behaviors, reason about knowledge gaps, query, and elicit responses through communication to resolve uncertainties. To address these limitations, we propose a unified human-robot joint planning system designed to tackle dual sources of uncertainty: task-relevant knowledge gaps and latent human intent. Our system operates in two complementary modes. First, an uncertainty-mitigation joint planning module enables two-way conversations to resolve semantic ambiguity and object uncertainty. It utilizes an LLM-assisted active elicitation mechanism and a hypothesis-augmented A^* search, subsequently computing an optimal querying policy via dynamic programming to minimize interaction and verification costs. Second, a real-time intent-aware collaboration module maintains a probabilistic belief over the human's latent task intent via spatial and directional cues, enabling dynamic, coordination-aware task selection for agents without explicit communication. We validate the proposed system in both Gazebo simulations and real-world UAV deployments integrated with a Vision-Language Model (VLM)-based 3D semantic perception pipeline. Experimental results demonstrate that the system significantly cuts the interaction cost by 51.9% in uncertainty-mitigation planning and reduces the task execution time by 25.4% in intent-aware cooperation compared to the baselines.

Reasoning Knowledge-Gap in Drone Planning via LLM-based Active Elicitation

Human-AI joint planning in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) typically relies on control handover when facing environmental uncertainties, which is often inefficient and cognitively demanding for non-expert operators. To address this, we propose a novel framework that shifts the collaboration paradigm from control takeover to active information elicitation. We introduce the Minimal Information Neuro-Symbolic Tree (MINT), a reasoning mechanism that explicitly structures knowledge gaps regarding obstacles and goals into a queryable format. By leveraging large language models, our system formulates optimal binary queries to resolve specific ambiguities with minimal human interaction. We demonstrate the efficacy of this approach through a comprehensive workflow integrating a vision-language model for perception, voice interfaces, and a low-level UAV control module in both high-fidelity NVIDIA Isaac simulations and real-world deployments. Experimental results show that our method achieves a significant improvement in the success rate for complex search-and-rescue tasks while significantly reducing the frequency of human interaction compared to exhaustive querying baselines.

Kimi K2.5: Visual Agentic Intelligence

We introduce Kimi K2.5, an open-source multimodal agentic model designed to advance general agentic intelligence. K2.5 emphasizes the joint optimization of text and vision so that two modalities enhance each other. This includes a series of techniques such as joint text-vision pre-training, zero-vision SFT, and joint text-vision reinforcement learning. Building on this multimodal foundation, K2.5 introduces Agent Swarm, a self-directed parallel agent orchestration framework that dynamically decomposes complex tasks into heterogeneous sub-problems and executes them concurrently. Extensive evaluations show that Kimi K2.5 achieves state-of-the-art results across various domains including coding, vision, reasoning, and agentic tasks. Agent Swarm also reduces latency by up to $4.5\times$ over single-agent baselines. We release the post-trained Kimi K2.5 model checkpoint to facilitate future research and real-world applications of agentic intelligence.

Towards Exploratory and Focused Manipulation with Bimanual Active Perception: A New Problem, Benchmark and Strategy

Recently, active vision has reemerged as an important concept for manipulation, since visual occlusion occurs more frequently when main cameras are mounted on the robot heads. We reflect on the visual occlusion issue and identify its essence as the absence of information useful for task completion. Inspired by this, we come up with the more fundamental problem of Exploratory and Focused Manipulation (EFM). The proposed problem is about actively collecting information to complete challenging manipulation tasks that require exploration or focus. As an initial attempt to address this problem, we establish the EFM-10 benchmark that consists of 4 categories of tasks that align with our definition (10 tasks in total). We further come up with a Bimanual Active Perception (BAP) strategy, which leverages one arm to provide active vision and another arm to provide force sensing while manipulating. Based on this idea, we collect a dataset named BAPData for the tasks in EFM-10. With the dataset, we successfully verify the effectiveness of the BAP strategy in an imitation learning manner. We hope that the EFM-10 benchmark along with the BAP strategy can become a cornerstone that facilitates future research towards this direction. Project website: EFManipulation.github.io.

Mitty: Diffusion-based Human-to-Robot Video Generation

Learning directly from human demonstration videos is a key milestone toward scalable and generalizable robot learning. Yet existing methods rely on intermediate representations such as keypoints or trajectories, introducing information loss and cumulative errors that harm temporal and visual consistency. We present Mitty, a Diffusion Transformer that enables video In-Context Learning for end-to-end Human2Robot video generation. Built on a pretrained video diffusion model, Mitty leverages strong visual-temporal priors to translate human demonstrations into robot-execution videos without action labels or intermediate abstractions. Demonstration videos are compressed into condition tokens and fused with robot denoising tokens through bidirectional attention during diffusion. To mitigate paired-data scarcity, we also develop an automatic synthesis pipeline that produces high-quality human-robot pairs from large egocentric datasets. Experiments on Human2Robot and EPIC-Kitchens show that Mitty delivers state-of-the-art results, strong generalization to unseen environments, and new insights for scalable robot learning from human observations.

SMART: Semantic Matching Contrastive Learning for Partially View-Aligned Clustering

Multi-view clustering has been empirically shown to improve learning performance by leveraging the inherent complementary information across multiple views of data. However, in real-world scenarios, collecting strictly aligned views is challenging, and learning from both aligned and unaligned data becomes a more practical solution. Partially View-aligned Clustering aims to learn correspondences between misaligned view samples to better exploit the potential consistency and complementarity across views, including both aligned and unaligned data. However, most existing PVC methods fail to leverage unaligned data to capture the shared semantics among samples from the same cluster. Moreover, the inherent heterogeneity of multi-view data induces distributional shifts in representations, leading to inaccuracies in establishing meaningful correspondences between cross-view latent features and, consequently, impairing learning effectiveness. To address these challenges, we propose a Semantic MAtching contRasTive learning model (SMART) for PVC. The main idea of our approach is to alleviate the influence of cross-view distributional shifts, thereby facilitating semantic matching contrastive learning to fully exploit semantic relationships in both aligned and unaligned data. Extensive experiments on eight benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing approaches on the PVC problem.

Refinement Contrastive Learning of Cell-Gene Associations for Unsupervised Cell Type Identification

Unsupervised cell type identification is crucial for uncovering and characterizing heterogeneous populations in single cell omics studies. Although a range of clustering methods have been developed, most focus exclusively on intrinsic cellular structure and ignore the pivotal role of cell-gene associations, which limits their ability to distinguish closely related cell types. To this end, we propose a Refinement Contrastive Learning framework (scRCL) that explicitly incorporates cell-gene interactions to derive more informative representations. Specifically, we introduce two contrastive distribution alignment components that reveal reliable intrinsic cellular structures by effectively exploiting cell-cell structural relationships. Additionally, we develop a refinement module that integrates gene-correlation structure learning to enhance cell embeddings by capturing underlying cell-gene associations. This module strengthens connections between cells and their associated genes, refining the representation learning to exploiting biologically meaningful relationships. Extensive experiments on several single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in cell-type identification accuracy. Moreover, downstream biological analyses confirm that the recovered cell populations exhibit coherent gene-expression signatures, further validating the biological relevance of our approach. The code is available at https://github.com/THPengL/scRCL.

OmniPSD: Layered PSD Generation with Diffusion Transformer

Recent advances in diffusion models have greatly improved image generation and editing, yet generating or reconstructing layered PSD files with transparent alpha channels remains highly challenging. We propose OmniPSD, a unified diffusion framework built upon the Flux ecosystem that enables both text-to-PSD generation and image-to-PSD decomposition through in-context learning. For text-to-PSD generation, OmniPSD arranges multiple target layers spatially into a single canvas and learns their compositional relationships through spatial attention, producing semantically coherent and hierarchically structured layers. For image-to-PSD decomposition, it performs iterative in-context editing, progressively extracting and erasing textual and foreground components to reconstruct editable PSD layers from a single flattened image. An RGBA-VAE is employed as an auxiliary representation module to preserve transparency without affecting structure learning. Extensive experiments on our new RGBA-layered dataset demonstrate that OmniPSD achieves high-fidelity generation, structural consistency, and transparency awareness, offering a new paradigm for layered design generation and decomposition with diffusion transformers.

LoopLLM: Transferable Energy-Latency Attacks in LLMs via Repetitive Generation

As large language models (LLMs) scale, their inference incurs substantial computational resources, exposing them to energy-latency attacks, where crafted prompts induce high energy and latency cost. Existing attack methods aim to prolong output by delaying the generation of termination symbols. However, as the output grows longer, controlling the termination symbols through input becomes difficult, making these methods less effective. Therefore, we propose LoopLLM, an energy-latency attack framework based on the observation that repetitive generation can trigger low-entropy decoding loops, reliably compelling LLMs to generate until their output limits. LoopLLM introduces (1) a repetition-inducing prompt optimization that exploits autoregressive vulnerabilities to induce repetitive generation, and (2) a token-aligned ensemble optimization that aggregates gradients to improve cross-model transferability. Extensive experiments on 12 open-source and 2 commercial LLMs show that LoopLLM significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving over 90% of the maximum output length, compared to 20% for baselines, and improving transferability by around 40% to DeepSeek-V3 and Gemini 2.5 Flash.
