WaveFilter: Enhancing the Long-Context Capability of Diffusion LLMs via Wavelet-Guided KV Cache Filtering

Diffusion Large Language Models (DLMs) have demonstrated significant advantages across various tasks. However, constrained by their multi-step iterative inference mechanism, their computational overhead and inference latency in long-context tasks have become core bottlenecks restricting their large-scale deployment. When processing long sequences, existing Key-Value (KV) caching mechanisms often face a dilemma where generation quality degrades drastically, where the core challenge lies in precisely and efficiently filtering critical tokens within ultra-long contexts. Inspired by the human reading process, we propose \textbf{WaveFilter}, a universal and training-free caching framework. This framework innovatively introduces the wavelet transform for decomposition of long sequences to achieve precise identification of key tokens, based on which a sparse KV Cache is constructed to compute the final contextual representation. Experimental results demonstrate that WaveFilter, as a plug-and-play generic framework, significantly enhances the performance of existing mainstream KV Cache methods in complex long-context tasks.

ConsisGuard: Aligning Safety Deliberation with Policy Enforcement in LLM Guardrails

Reasoning-based LLM guardrails improve safety moderation by generating explicit rationales before issuing final decisions. However, their rationales do not always lead to faithful enforcement: a model may recognize a harmful intent in its reasoning but still predict a safe label, or issue an unsafe decision without policy-grounded justification. We identify this safety-critical failure mode as the deliberation-to-enforcement gap. Unlike general chain-of-thought faithfulness, guardrail reliability requires policy execution consistency: the generated reasoning should be grounded in the safety policy, and the final decision should be entailed by that reasoning. We propose ConsisGuard, a consistency-aware framework for reasoning-based LLM guardrails. ConsisGuard performs Policy-to-Decision Trajectory Distillation and Functional Coupling Alignment, aligning the internal coupling between safety deliberation and decision enforcement. Experiments on prompt and response harmfulness detection benchmarks show that ConsisGuard improves detection performance while reducing policy execution failures. These results suggest that reliable reasoning-based guardrails require accurate faithful execution of safety policies.

Make LLM Learn to Synthesize from Streaming Experiences through Feedback

Large language models (LLMs) have been widely adopted for synthetic data generation, significantly reducing annotation costs. However, most existing studies treat synthesis as a set of isolated tasks and overlook a more fundamental question: whether a model can learn to synthesize by accumulating experience from past tasks and transferring it to future ones. In this work, we introduce StreamSynth, a new setting in which synthesis tasks arrive sequentially and experience from historical tasks provides informative signals for future synthesis. To address this setting, we propose SynLearner, a general framework that enables synthesis models to acquire reusable synthesis experience over a task stream. Instead of generating data independently for each task, SynLearner encourages the model to explore diverse synthesis patterns, learn from feedback, and balance sample quality with set-level diversity as tasks evolve. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks show that SynLearner effectively leverages experience from earlier tasks to improve synthesis performance on later ones, exhibiting consistent cross-task transferability. These findings provide evidence for the feasibility of StreamSynth and highlight synthetic data generation as an experience-driven process that can benefit from task streams.

Robust and Generalizable Safety Steering for Text-to-Image Diffusion Transformers

Diffusion Transformers have become a powerful backbone for text-to-image generation, but their layered and cross-modal generation process makes safety control fundamentally different from prompt-level filtering or output-level detection. Harmful semantics may be weakly expressed in text representations, progressively bound to visual latents, and finally entangled with rendering dynamics. As a result, safety steering at a fixed layer can be unstable, and a steering mechanism learned from known risks may not transfer reliably to a shifted target risk domain. We propose SafeDIG, a safety steering framework that formulates DiT safety adaptation as position-aware sparse feature transfer. SafeDIG first constructs Sparse Autoencoders over functionally distinct DiT intervention positions and uses robustness-aware pre-training routing to prioritize intervention sites that are expected to remain stable under source-target risk shift. It then separates transferable safety features from domain-specific activation geometry by freezing the SAE encoder as a reusable sparse safety dictionary and adapting only the decoder to the target-domain activation manifold. During inference, SafeDIG combines Blend and Repel operations to steer unsafe activations toward transferred safety manifolds or away from harmful sparse directions. Experiments on FLUX.1 Dev and Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large show that SafeDIG consistently reduces target-domain and overall unsafe generation rates while preserving source-domain safety and image quality.

RooflineBench: A Benchmarking Framework for On-Device LLMs via Roofline Analysis

The transition toward localized intelligence through Small Language Models (SLMs) has intensified the need for rigorous performance characterization on resource-constrained edge hardware. However, objectively measuring the theoretical performance ceilings of diverse architectures across heterogeneous platforms remains a formidable challenge. In this work, we propose a systematic framework based on the Roofline model that unifies architectural primitives and hardware constraints through the lens of operational intensity (OI). By defining an inference-potential region, we introduce the Relative Inference Potential as a novel metric to compare efficiency differences between Large Language Models (LLMs) on the same hardware substrate. Extensive empirical analysis across diverse compute tiers reveals that variations in performance and OI are significantly influenced by sequence length. We further identify a critical regression in OI as model depth increases. Additionally, our findings highlight an efficiency trap induced by hardware heterogeneity and demonstrate how structural refinements, such as Multi-head Latent Attention (M LA), can effectively unlock latent inference potential across various hardware substrates. These insights provide actionable directions for hardware-software co-design to align neural structures with physical constraints in on-device intelligence. The released code is available in the Appendix C.

Beyond Superficial Unlearning: Sharpness-Aware Robust Erasure of Hallucinations in Multimodal LLMs

Multimodal LLMs are powerful but prone to object hallucinations, which describe non-existent entities and harm reliability. While recent unlearning methods attempt to mitigate this, we identify a critical flaw: structural fragility. We empirically demonstrate that standard erasure achieves only superficial suppression, trapping the model in sharp minima where hallucinations catastrophically resurge after lightweight relearning. To ensure geometric stability, we propose SARE, which casts unlearning as a targeted min-max optimization problem and uses a Targeted-SAM mechanism to explicitly flatten the loss landscape around hallucinated concepts. By suppressing hallucinations under simulated worst-case parameter perturbations, our framework ensures robust removal stable against weight shifts. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SARE significantly outperforms baselines in erasure efficacy while preserving general generation quality. Crucially, it maintains persistent hallucination suppression against relearning and parameter updates, validating the effectiveness of geometric stabilization.

Your One-Stop Solution for AI-Generated Video Detection

Recent advances in generative modeling can create remarkably realistic synthetic videos, making it increasingly difficult for humans to distinguish them from real ones and necessitating reliable detection methods. However, two key limitations hinder the development of this field. \textbf{From the dataset perspective}, existing datasets are often limited in scale and constructed using outdated or narrowly scoped generative models, making it difficult to capture the diversity and rapid evolution of modern generative techniques. Moreover, the dataset construction process frequently prioritizes quantity over quality, neglecting essential aspects such as semantic diversity, scenario coverage, and technological representativeness. \textbf{From the benchmark perspective}, current benchmarks largely remain at the stage of dataset creation, leaving many fundamental issues and in-depth analysis yet to be systematically explored. Addressing this gap, we propose AIGVDBench, a benchmark designed to be comprehensive and representative, covering \textbf{31} state-of-the-art generation models and over \textbf{440,000} videos. By executing more than \textbf{1,500} evaluations on \textbf{33} existing detectors belonging to four distinct categories. This work presents \textbf{8 in-depth analyses} from multiple perspectives and identifies \textbf{4 novel findings} that offer valuable insights for future research. We hope this work provides a solid foundation for advancing the field of AI-generated video detection. Our benchmark is open-sourced at https://github.com/LongMa-2025/AIGVDBench.

Thought Purity: Defense Paradigm For Chain-of-Thought Attack

While reinforcement learning-trained Large Reasoning Models (LRMs, e.g., Deepseek-R1) demonstrate advanced reasoning capabilities in the evolving Large Language Models (LLMs) domain, their susceptibility to security threats remains a critical vulnerability. This weakness is particularly evident in Chain-of-Thought (CoT) generation processes, where adversarial methods like backdoor prompt attacks can systematically subvert the model's core reasoning mechanisms. The emerging Chain-of-Thought Attack (CoTA) reveals this vulnerability through exploiting prompt controllability, simultaneously degrading both CoT safety and task performance with low-cost interventions. To address this compounded security-performance vulnerability, we propose Thought Purity (TP): a defense paradigm that systematically strengthens resistance to malicious content while preserving operational efficacy. Our solution achieves this through three synergistic components: (1) a safety-optimized data processing pipeline (2) reinforcement learning-enhanced rule constraints (3) adaptive monitoring metrics. Our approach establishes the first comprehensive defense mechanism against CoTA vulnerabilities in reinforcement learning-aligned reasoning systems, significantly advancing the security-functionality equilibrium for next-generation AI architectures.

Spatial Knowledge Graph-Guided Multimodal Synthesis

Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly enhanced their capabilities; however, their spatial perception abilities remain a notable limitation. To address this challenge, multimodal data synthesis offers a promising solution. Yet, ensuring that synthesized data adhere to spatial common sense is a non-trivial task. In this work, we introduce SKG2Data, a novel multimodal synthesis approach guided by spatial knowledge graphs, grounded in the concept of knowledge-to-data generation. SKG2Data automatically constructs a Spatial Knowledge Graph (SKG) to emulate human-like perception of spatial directions and distances, which is subsequently utilized to guide multimodal data synthesis. Extensive experiments demonstrate that data synthesized from diverse types of spatial knowledge, including direction and distance, not only enhance the spatial perception and reasoning abilities of MLLMs but also exhibit strong generalization capabilities. We hope that the idea of knowledge-based data synthesis can advance the development of spatial intelligence.

EasyInstruct: An Easy-to-use Instruction Processing Framework for Large Language Models

In recent years, instruction tuning has gained increasing attention and emerged as a crucial technique to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). To construct high-quality instruction datasets, many instruction processing approaches have been proposed, aiming to achieve a delicate balance between data quantity and data quality. Nevertheless, due to inconsistencies that persist among various instruction processing methods, there is no standard open-source instruction processing implementation framework available for the community, which hinders practitioners from further developing and advancing. To facilitate instruction processing research and development, we present EasyInstruct, an easy-to-use instruction processing framework for LLMs, which modularizes instruction generation, selection, and prompting, while also considering their combination and interaction. EasyInstruct is publicly released and actively maintained at https://github.com/zjunlp/EasyInstruct, along with a running demo App at https://huggingface.co/spaces/zjunlp/EasyInstruct for quick-start, calling for broader research centered on instruction data.
