Abstract

Building adaptable AI systems requires effective coordination of specialized capabilities across diverse tasks. Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) enables modular expertise, but existing routing approaches may require auxiliary data, additional training, or autoregressive decoding. We propose JevSoup, a training-free framework separating System One expert routing from System Two execution. Using only the input and expert descriptions, Jev selects two experts through structured probabilities. JevSoup retains the leading expert's update, projects the second onto the orthogonal complement of the first update's row space, and combines them with equal weights. Across 14 PorTAL tasks and three Qwen3 scales, JepSoup achieves absolute gains of up to 1.19\% in task-macro and 1.21\% in sample-micro accuracy over the strongest evaluated external baselines. Our code is available at https://github.com/Leowang980/JevSoup.

SkillFlow: Scalable and Efficient Agent Skill Retrieval System

AI agents can extend their capabilities at inference time by loading reusable skills into context, yet equipping an agent with too many skills, particularly irrelevant ones, degrades performance. As community-driven skill repositories grow, agents need a way to selectively retrieve only the most relevant skills from a large library. We present SkillFlow, the first open, multi-stage retrieval system for agent skill discovery that frames skill acquisition as an information retrieval problem over a corpus of ~35K community-contributed SKILL.md definitions indexed from GitHub. The pipeline progressively narrows a large candidate set through four stages (dense retrieval, two rounds of cross-encoder reranking, and LLM-based selection), balancing recall and precision at each stage. We evaluate SkillFlow on two coding benchmarks: SkillsBench, a benchmark of 87 tasks and 229 matched skills; and Terminal-Bench, a benchmark that provides only 89 tasks, and no matched skills. On SkillsBench, SkillFlow-retrieved skills raise Pass@1 from 9.2% to 16.4% (+78.3%, $p_{adj} = 3.64 \times 10^{-2}$), reaching 84.1% of the oracle ceiling, while on Terminal-Bench, agents readily use the retrieved skills (70.1% use rate) yet show no performance gain, revealing that retrieval alone is insufficient when the corpus lacks high-quality, executable skills for the target domain. SkillFlow demonstrates that framing skill acquisition as an information retrieval task is an effective strategy, and that the practical impact of skill-augmented agents hinges on corpus coverage and skill quality, particularly the density of runnable code and bundled artifacts.

Evaluation is All You Need: Strategic Overclaiming of LLM Reasoning Capabilities Through Evaluation Design

Reasoning models represented by the Deepseek-R1-Distill series have been widely adopted by the open-source community due to their strong performance in mathematics, science, programming, and other domains. However, our study reveals that their benchmark evaluation results are subject to significant fluctuations caused by various factors. Subtle differences in evaluation conditions can lead to substantial variations in results. Similar phenomena are observed in other open-source inference models fine-tuned based on the Deepseek-R1-Distill series, as well as in the QwQ-32B model, making their claimed performance improvements difficult to reproduce reliably. Therefore, we advocate for the establishment of a more rigorous paradigm for model performance evaluation and present our empirical assessments of the Deepseek-R1-Distill series models.

The Plot Twist: Jailbreaking Unified Multimodal Models with a Three-Act NarrativeAttack

Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation Models (UMMs) increasingly combine visual understanding and image generation within a single interactive workflow, making generated visual content available as later reasoning context. However, existing jailbreak evaluations mostly study text rewriting or isolated visual prompts, leaving the safety risk of narrative cross-turn visual grounding underexplored. We propose NarrativeAttack, a semantic-preserving visual narrative jailbreak framework. NarrativeAttack employs a three-act narrative structure in which the UMM's own generator produces images for the setup (pre-event) and resolution (post-event) stages, making the full attack workflow self-contained while concealing the malicious event as a hidden climax. The attack concludes with an image-based "guessing game" that embeds the original malicious query among benign candidates, compelling the model to select and answer the most relevant one based on the established narrative context. A dynamic difficulty mechanism further enhances attack stability. Experiments show NarrativeAttack consistently surpasses prior approaches, achieving up to 88.25% ASR on Gemini-2.5-Flash. These results uncover an underdeveloped vulnerability and highlight the urgent need for safety alignment in UMMs.
