CurveRL: Principled Distribution-Aware Context Reweighting for LLM Reasoning

Context or prompt-level reweighting has emerged as a central algorithmic lever in Reinforcement Learning with Verified Rewards (RLVR) for improving the reasoning capability of large language models, yet the principle determining what constitutes an optimal weighting remains poorly understood. We address this gap by formulating prompt reweighting as a functional derivative of a utility functional defined in the pass-rate function space, yielding a unified optimality framework that accommodates existing schemes, including REINFORCE and GRPO. Building on this optimality framework, we propose a distribution-aware prompt reweighting approach, called CurveRL, based on a quantile coordinate transform, in which the weight assigned to each prompt depends not on the absolute value of pass rates but on its rank and density to reflect the distributional structure of the pass rates in the learning dynamics. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed CurveRL consistently outperforms GRPO and other RLVR baselines. Our study identifies context-distribution control as a principled axis for analyzing and designing prompt-reweighted RLVR algorithms. The code is released in https://github.com/zhyzmath/CurveRL.

Wan-Image: Pushing the Boundaries of Generative Visual Intelligence

We present Wan-Image, a unified visual generation system explicitly engineered to paradigm-shift image generation models from casual synthesizers into professional-grade productivity tools. While contemporary diffusion models excel at aesthetic generation, they frequently encounter critical bottlenecks in rigorous design workflows that demand absolute controllability, complex typography rendering, and strict identity preservation. To address these challenges, Wan-Image features a natively unified multi-modal architecture by synergizing the cognitive capabilities of large language models with the high-fidelity pixel synthesis of diffusion transformers, which seamlessly translates highly nuanced user intents into precise visual outputs. It is fundamentally powered by large-scale multi-modal data scaling, a systematic fine-grained annotation engine, and curated reinforcement learning data to surpass basic instruction following and unlock expert-level professional capabilities. These include ultra-long complex text rendering, hyper-diverse portrait generation, palette-guided generation, multi-subject identity preservation, coherent sequential visual generation, precise multi-modal interactive editing, native alpha-channel generation, and high-efficiency 4K synthesis. Across diverse human evaluations, Wan-Image exceeds Seedream 5.0 Lite and GPT Image 1.5 in overall performance, reaching parity with Nano Banana Pro in challenging tasks. Ultimately, Wan-Image revolutionizes visual content creation across e-commerce, entertainment, education, and personal productivity, redefining the boundaries of professional visual synthesis.

A-MBER: Affective Memory Benchmark for Emotion Recognition

AI assistants that interact with users over time need to interpret the user's current emotional state in order to respond appropriately and personally. However, this capability remains insufficiently evaluated. Existing emotion datasets mainly assess local or instantaneous affect, while long-term memory benchmarks focus largely on factual recall, temporal consistency, or knowledge updating. As a result, current resources provide limited support for testing whether a model can use remembered interaction history to interpret a user's present affective state. We introduce A-MBER, an Affective Memory Benchmark for Emotion Recognition, to evaluate this capability. A-MBER focuses on present affective interpretation grounded in remembered multi-session interaction history. Given an interaction trajectory and a designated anchor turn, a model must infer the user's current affective state, identify historically relevant evidence, and justify its interpretation in a grounded way. The benchmark is constructed through a staged pipeline with explicit intermediate representations, including long-horizon planning, conversation generation, annotation, question construction, and final packaging. It supports judgment, retrieval, and explanation tasks, together with robustness settings such as modality degradation and insufficient-evidence conditions. Experiments compare local-context, long-context, retrieved-memory, structured-memory, and gold-evidence conditions within a unified framework. Results show that A-MBER is especially discriminative on the subsets it is designed to stress, including long-range implicit affect, high-dependency memory levels, trajectory-based reasoning, and adversarial settings. These findings suggest that memory supports affective interpretation not simply by providing more history, but by enabling more selective, grounded, and context-sensitive use of past interaction

FairGC: Fairness-aware Graph Condensation

Graph condensation (GC) has become a vital strategy for scaling Graph Neural Networks by compressing massive datasets into small, synthetic node sets. While current GC methods effectively maintain predictive accuracy, they are primarily designed for utility and often ignore fairness constraints. Because these techniques are bias-blind, they frequently capture and even amplify demographic disparities found in the original data. This leads to synthetic proxies that are unsuitable for sensitive applications like credit scoring or social recommendations. To solve this problem, we introduce FairGC, a unified framework that embeds fairness directly into the graph distillation process. Our approach consists of three key components. First, a Distribution-Preserving Condensation module synchronizes the joint distributions of labels and sensitive attributes to stop bias from spreading. Second, a Spectral Encoding module uses Laplacian eigen-decomposition to preserve essential global structural patterns. Finally, a Fairness-Enhanced Neural Architecture employs multi-domain fusion and a label-smoothing curriculum to produce equitable predictions. Rigorous evaluations on four real-world datasets, show that FairGC provides a superior balance between accuracy and fairness. Our results confirm that FairGC significantly reduces disparity in Statistical Parity and Equal Opportunity compared to existing state-of-the-art condensation models.

Principled Fast and Meta Knowledge Learners for Continual Reinforcement Learning

Inspired by the human learning and memory system, particularly the interplay between the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, this study proposes a dual-learner framework comprising a fast learner and a meta learner to address continual Reinforcement Learning~(RL) problems. These two learners are coupled to perform distinct yet complementary roles: the fast learner focuses on knowledge transfer, while the meta learner ensures knowledge integration. In contrast to traditional multi-task RL approaches that share knowledge through average return maximization, our meta learner incrementally integrates new experiences by explicitly minimizing catastrophic forgetting, thereby supporting efficient cumulative knowledge transfer for the fast learner. To facilitate rapid adaptation in new environments, we introduce an adaptive meta warm-up mechanism that selectively harnesses past knowledge. We conduct experiments in various pixel-based and continuous control benchmarks, revealing the superior performance of continual learning for our proposed dual-learner approach relative to baseline methods. The code is released in https://github.com/datake/FAME.

Minimizing Mismatch Risk: A Prototype-Based Routing Framework for Zero-shot LLM-generated Text Detection

Zero-shot methods detect LLM-generated text by computing statistical signatures using a surrogate model. Existing approaches typically employ a fixed surrogate for all inputs regardless of the unknown source. We systematically examine this design and find that detection performance varies substantially depending on surrogate-source alignment. We observe that while no single surrogate achieves optimal performance universally, a well-matched surrogate typically exists within a diverse pool for any given input. This finding transforms robust detection into a routing problem: selecting the most appropriate surrogate for each input. We propose DetectRouter, a prototype-based framework that learns text-detector affinity through two-stage training. The first stage constructs discriminative prototypes from white-box models; the second generalizes to black-box sources by aligning geometric distances with observed detection scores. Experiments on EvoBench and MAGE benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements across multiple detection criteria and model families.

Zenith: Scaling up Ranking Models for Billion-scale Livestreaming Recommendation

Accurately capturing feature interactions is essential in recommender systems, and recent trends show that scaling up model capacity could be a key driver for next-level predictive performance. While prior work has explored various model architectures to capture multi-granularity feature interactions, relatively little attention has been paid to efficient feature handling and scaling model capacity without incurring excessive inference latency. In this paper, we address this by presenting Zenith, a scalable and efficient ranking architecture that learns complex feature interactions with minimal runtime overhead. Zenith is designed to handle a few high-dimensional Prime Tokens with Token Fusion and Token Boost modules, which exhibits superior scaling laws compared to other state-of-the-art ranking methods, thanks to its improved token heterogeneity. Its real-world effectiveness is demonstrated by deploying the architecture to TikTok Live, a leading online livestreaming platform that attracts billions of users globally. Our A/B test shows that Zenith achieves +1.05%/-1.10% in online CTR AUC and Logloss, and realizes +9.93% gains in Quality Watch Session / User and +8.11% in Quality Watch Duration / User.

Terminal-Bench: Benchmarking Agents on Hard, Realistic Tasks in Command Line Interfaces

AI agents may soon become capable of autonomously completing valuable, long-horizon tasks in diverse domains. Current benchmarks either do not measure real-world tasks, or are not sufficiently difficult to meaningfully measure frontier models. To this end, we present Terminal-Bench 2.0: a carefully curated hard benchmark composed of 89 tasks in computer terminal environments inspired by problems from real workflows. Each task features a unique environment, human-written solution, and comprehensive tests for verification. We show that frontier models and agents score less than 65\% on the benchmark and conduct an error analysis to identify areas for model and agent improvement. We publish the dataset and evaluation harness to assist developers and researchers in future work at https://www.tbench.ai/ .

When AI Settles Down: Late-Stage Stability as a Signature of AI-Generated Text Detection

Zero-shot detection methods for AI-generated text typically aggregate token-level statistics across entire sequences, overlooking the temporal dynamics inherent to autoregressive generation. We analyze over 120k text samples and reveal Late-Stage Volatility Decay: AI-generated text exhibits rapidly stabilizing log probability fluctuations as generation progresses, while human writing maintains higher variability throughout. This divergence peaks in the second half of sequences, where AI-generated text shows 24--32\% lower volatility. Based on this finding, we propose two simple features: Derivative Dispersion and Local Volatility, which computed exclusively from late-stage statistics. Without perturbation sampling or additional model access, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on EvoBench and MAGE benchmarks and demonstrates strong complementarity with existing global methods.

Memory Bear AI A Breakthrough from Memory to Cognition Toward Artificial General Intelligence

Large language models (LLMs) face inherent limitations in memory, including restricted context windows, long-term knowledge forgetting, redundant information accumulation, and hallucination generation. These issues severely constrain sustained dialogue and personalized services. This paper proposes the Memory Bear system, which constructs a human-like memory architecture grounded in cognitive science principles. By integrating multimodal information perception, dynamic memory maintenance, and adaptive cognitive services, Memory Bear achieves a full-chain reconstruction of LLM memory mechanisms. Across domains such as healthcare, enterprise operations, and education, Memory Bear demonstrates substantial engineering innovation and performance breakthroughs. It significantly improves knowledge fidelity and retrieval efficiency in long-term conversations, reduces hallucination rates, and enhances contextual adaptability and reasoning capability through memory-cognition integration. Experimental results show that, compared with existing solutions (e.g., Mem0, MemGPT, Graphiti), Memory Bear outperforms them across key metrics, including accuracy, token efficiency, and response latency. This marks a crucial step forward in advancing AI from "memory" to "cognition".
