Scaling Multi-Hop Training Data via Graph-Constrained Path Selection

Endowing large language models with compositional reasoning over specialized documents requires multi-hop training data at scale, where such data rarely exists outside of curated benchmarks built on structured sources. To construct it directly from plain, unannotated text, existing methods ask a single teacher model to jointly discover an evidence path through a document and verbalize it as a question-answer pair. However, these methods degrade sharply when documents are structured around repetitive templates and densely cross-referencing clauses, conditions that characterize most real-world specialized corpora. In this work, we decouple the two operations: reasoning paths are enumerated offline over a graph of contextual keyword centroids, and the teacher is invoked only to verbalize pre-validated paths. The graph enforces five geometric admissibility constraints, for which we provide Gram-matrix arguments establishing that local similarity bounds alone admit endpoint drift up to ${\sim}91^{\circ}$, and that an upper similarity bound is necessary to exit dense embedding cliques formed by boilerplate text. A matched-size ablation isolates the mechanism: at equal training scale, constrained and unconstrained chains yield indistinguishable downstream performance, and the gain at full scale comes from a 4.4$\times$ expansion of the usable corpus rather than from higher per-chain quality -- reframing the role of graph constraints, in this setting, as raising teacher synthesizability rather than improving chain content. Fine-tuning Qwen3-32B on 80K examples constructed from the CUAD legal contract corpus improves closed-book Token F1 from 21.66% to 38.58%.

MOSS: Self-Evolution through Source-Level Rewriting in Autonomous Agent Systems

Autonomous agentic systems are largely static after deployment: they do not learn from user interactions, and recurring failures persist until the next human-driven update ships a fix. Self-evolving agents have emerged in response, but all confine evolution to text-mutable artifacts -- skill files, prompt configurations, memory schemas, workflow graphs -- and leave the agent harness untouched. Since routing, hook ordering, state invariants, and dispatch live in code rather than in any text artifact, an entire class of structural failure is physically unreachable from the text layer. We argue that source-level adaptation is a fundamentally more general medium: it is Turing-complete, a strict superset of every text-mutable scope, takes effect deterministically rather than through base-model compliance, and does not erode under long-context drift. We present MOSS, a system that performs self-rewriting at the source level on production agentic substrates. Each evolution is anchored to an automatically curated batch of production-failure evidence and proceeds through a deterministic multi-stage pipeline; code modification is delegated to a pluggable external coding-agent CLI while MOSS retains stage ordering and verdicts. Candidates are verified by replaying the batch against the candidate image in ephemeral trial workers, then promoted via user-consent-gated, in-place container swap with health-probe-gated rollback. On OpenClaw, MOSS lifts a four-task mean grader score from 0.25 to 0.61 in a single cycle without human intervention.

DDA-Thinker: Decoupled Dual-Atomic Reinforcement Learning for Reasoning-Driven Image Editing

Recent image editing models have achieved strong visual fidelity but often struggle with tasks requiring complex reasoning. To investigate and enhance the reasoning-grounded planning for image editing, we propose DDA-Thinker, a Thinker-centric framework designed for the independent optimization of a planning module (Thinker) over a fixed generative model (Editor). This decoupled Thinker-centric paradigm facilitates a controlled analysis of the planning module and makes its contribution under a fixed Editor easier to assess. To effectively guide this Thinker, we introduce a dual-atomic reinforcement learning framework. This framework decomposes feedback into two distinct atomic rewards implemented through verifiable checklists: a cognitive-atomic reward to directly assess the quality of the Thinker's executable plan, which serves as the actionable outcome of the Thinker's reasoning, and a visual-atomic reward to assess the final image quality. To improve checklist quality, our checklist synthesis is grounded not only in the source image and user instruction but also in a rational reference description of the ideal post-edit scene. To support this training, we further develop a two-stage data curation pipeline that first synthesizes a diverse and reasoning-focused dataset, then applies difficulty-aware refinement to curate an effective training curriculum for reinforcement learning. Extensive experiments on reasoning-driven image editing benchmarks, including RISE-Bench and KRIS-Bench, demonstrate that our approach substantially improves overall performance. Our method enables a community model to achieve results competitive with strong proprietary models, highlighting the practical potential of Thinker-centric optimization under a fixed-editor setting.

ClawNet: Human-Symbiotic Agent Network for Cross-User Autonomous Cooperation

Current AI agent frameworks have made remarkable progress in automating individual tasks, yet all existing systems serve a single user. Human productivity rests on the social and organizational relationships through which people coordinate, negotiate, and delegate. When agents move beyond performing tasks for one person to representing that person in collaboration with others, the infrastructure for cross-user agent collaboration is entirely absent, let alone the governance mechanisms needed to secure it. We argue that the next frontier for AI agents lies not in stronger individual capability, but in the digitization of human collaborative relationships. To this end, we propose a human-symbiotic agent paradigm. Each user owns a permanently bound agent system that collaborates on the owner's behalf, forming a network whose nodes are humans rather than agents. This paradigm rests on three governance primitives. A layered identity architecture separates a Manager Agent from multiple context-specific Identity Agents; the Manager Agent holds global knowledge but is architecturally isolated from external communication. Scoped authorization enforces per-identity access control and escalates boundary violations to the owner. Action-level accountability logs every operation against its owner's identity and authorization, ensuring full auditability. We instantiate this paradigm in ClawNet, an identity-governed agent collaboration framework that enforces identity binding and authorization verification through a central orchestrator, enabling multiple users to collaborate securely through their respective agents.

Geoparsing: Diagram Parsing for Plane and Solid Geometry with a Unified Formal Language

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress but continue to struggle with geometric reasoning, primarily due to the perception bottleneck regarding fine-grained visual elements. While formal languages have aided plane geometry understanding, solid geometry which requires spatial understanding remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we address this challenge by designing a unified formal language that integrates plane and solid geometry, comprehensively covering geometric structures and semantic relations. We construct GDP-29K, a large-scale dataset comprising 20k plane and 9k solid geometry samples collected from diverse real-world sources, each paired with its ground-truth formal description. To ensure syntactic correctness and geometric consistency, we propose a training paradigm that combines Supervised Fine-Tuning with Reinforcement Learning via Verifiable Rewards. Experiments show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art parsing performance. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our parsed formal descriptions serve as a critical cognitive scaffold, significantly boosting MLLMs' capabilities for downstream geometry reasoning tasks. Our data and code are available at Geoparsing.

AdaSpark: Adaptive Sparsity for Efficient Long-Video Understanding

Processing long-form videos with Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) is computationally prohibitive. Current efficiency methods often compromise fine-grained perception through irreversible information disposal or inhibit long-range temporal modeling via rigid, predefined sparse patterns. This paper introduces AdaSpark, an adaptive sparsity framework designed to address these limitations. AdaSpark first partitions video inputs into 3D spatio-temporal cubes. It then employs two co-designed, context-aware components: (1) Adaptive Cube-Selective Attention (AdaS-Attn), which adaptively selects a subset of relevant video cubes to attend for each query token, and (2) Adaptive Token-Selective FFN (AdaS-FFN), which selectively processes only the most salient tokens within each cube. An entropy-based (Top-p) selection mechanism adaptively allocates computational resources based on input complexity. Experiments demonstrate that AdaSpark significantly reduces computational load by up to 57% FLOPs while maintaining comparable performance to dense models and preserving fine-grained, long-range dependencies, as validated on challenging hour-scale video benchmarks.

GIFT: Global Irreplaceability Frame Targeting for Efficient Video Understanding

Video Large Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success in video understanding, but the significant computational cost from processing dense frames severely limits their practical application. Existing methods alleviate this by selecting keyframes, but their greedy decision-making, combined with a decoupled evaluation of relevance and diversity, often falls into local optima and results in erroneously selecting irrelevant noise frames. To address these challenges, we propose GIFT: Global Irreplaceability Frame Targeting, a novel training-free framework that selects frames by assessing their intrinsic irreplaceability. Specifically, we first introduce Directed Diversity to quantify a frame's uniqueness conditioned on relevance, which allows us to formulate a unified irreplaceability score. Subsequently, our Budget-Aware Refinement strategy employs a adaptive iterative process that first secures a core set of frames with the highest irreplaceability, and then shifts its priority to building crucial temporal context around these selections as the budget expands. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GIFT achieves a maximum average improvement of 12.5% across long-form video benchmarks on LLaVA-Video-7B compared to uniform sampling.

SpatialReward: Verifiable Spatial Reward Modeling for Fine-Grained Spatial Consistency in Text-to-Image Generation

Recent advances in text-to-image (T2I) generation via reinforcement learning (RL) have benefited from reward models that assess semantic alignment and visual quality. However, most existing reward models pay limited attention to fine-grained spatial relationships, often producing images that appear plausible overall yet contain inaccuracies in object positioning. In this work, we present \textbf{SpatialReward}, a verifiable reward model explicitly designed to evaluate spatial layouts in generated images. SpatialReward adopts a multi-stage pipeline: a \emph{Prompt Decomposer} extracts entities, attributes, and spatial metadata from free-form prompts; expert detectors provide accurate visual grounding of object positions and attributes; and a vision-language model applies chain-of-thought reasoning over grounded observations to assess complex spatial relations that are challenging for rule-based methods. To more comprehensively evaluate spatial relationships in generated images, we introduce \textbf{SpatRelBench}, a benchmark covering object attributes, orientation, inter-object relations, and rendered text placement. Experiments on Stable Diffusion and FLUX show that incorporating SpatialReward into RL training consistently improves spatial consistency and overall generation quality, with results aligned more closely to human judgments. These findings indicate that verifiable reward models hold considerable potential for enabling more accurate and controllable optimization in text-to-image generation models.

SecAgent: Efficient Mobile GUI Agent with Semantic Context

Mobile Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents powered by multimodal large language models have demonstrated promising capabilities in automating complex smartphone tasks. However, existing approaches face two critical limitations: the scarcity of high-quality multilingual datasets, particularly for non-English ecosystems, and inefficient history representation methods. To address these challenges, we present SecAgent, an efficient mobile GUI agent at 3B scale. We first construct a human-verified Chinese mobile GUI dataset with 18k grounding samples and 121k navigation steps across 44 applications, along with a Chinese navigation benchmark featuring multi-choice action annotations. Building upon this dataset, we propose a semantic context mechanism that distills history screenshots and actions into concise, natural language summaries, significantly reducing computational costs while preserving task-relevant information. Through supervised and reinforcement fine-tuning, SecAgent outperforms similar-scale baselines and achieves performance comparable to 7B-8B models on our and public navigation benchmarks. We will open-source the training dataset, benchmark, model, and code to advance research in multilingual mobile GUI automation.

How Foundational Skills Influence VLM-based Embodied Agents:A Native Perspective

Recent advances in vision-language models (VLMs) have shown promise for human-level embodied intelligence. However, existing benchmarks for VLM-driven embodied agents often rely on high-level commands or discretized action spaces, which are non-native settings that differ markedly from real-world control. In addition, current benchmarks focus primarily on high-level tasks and lack joint evaluation and analysis at both low and high levels. To address these limitations, we present NativeEmbodied, a challenging benchmark for VLM-driven embodied agents that uses a unified, native low-level action space. Built on diverse simulated scenes, NativeEmbodied includes three representative high-level tasks in complex scenarios to evaluate overall performance. For more detailed analysis, we further decouple the skills required by complex tasks and construct four types of low-level tasks, each targeting a fundamental embodied skill. This joint evaluation across task and skill granularities enables fine-grained assessment of embodied agents. Experiments with state-of-the-art VLMs reveal clear deficiencies in several fundamental embodied skills, and further analysis shows that these bottlenecks significantly limit performance on high-level tasks. NativeEmbodied highlights key challenges for current VLM-driven embodied agents and provides insights to guide future research.
