Modeling Bond-Dependent Kitaev-like interaction in 2D Edge-Sharing Tetrahedral Magnets: FeX (X=Te, Se)

Bond-dependent magnetic interactions, exemplified by the Kitaev model, are known to arise from the interplay between spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and specific coordination geometries, but have so far been almost exclusively identified in edge-sharing octahedral systems. Whether such interactions persist in edge-sharing tetrahedral environments, characteristic of the parent compounds of iron-based superconductors, remains an open question. Here, we construct a Kitaev-like model for monolayer FeTe and FeSe and demonstrate the presence of a previously unrecognized bond-dependent Ising-type interaction, induced jointly by chalcogen-mediated SOC and the tetrahedral crystal-field geometry. A microscopic spin model for these bond-dependent interactions is derived via strong-coupling perturbation theory, and the strengths of the individual exchange terms are extracted by partitioning the magnetic anisotropy energy calculated using density functional theory across various collinear magnetic orders. We reveal that the Kitaev-like interaction dominates the magnetic anisotropy in FeTe, whereas in FeSe, it strongly competes with a single-ion anisotropy of opposite sign. The resulting noncollinear local anisotropy axes generate intrinsic single-site spin frustration, providing a microscopic mechanism for magnetic disorder that transcends isotropic exchange models. Our results establish edge-sharing tetrahedral magnets as a new platform for bond-dependent interactions and extend the scope of Kitaev physics beyond octahedral coordination.

Benchmarks are Not Enough: RAMP for Runtime Assessing of Agentic Models in Production Systems

LLM agents are rapidly evolving from coding assistants into autonomous software engineering systems. However, existing evaluation methodologies remain largely centered on static, isolated, and short-horizon benchmarks that fail to capture the dynamic complexity of real-world production workflows. As a result, benchmark performance may poorly reflect practical capability under realistic runtime environments involving long execution chains, tool interactions, dependency management, and iterative feedback loops. We thus present RAMP, a production-grounded infrastructure for assessing long-horizon software engineering agents. Built upon the YatCC integrated platform, RAMP provides a unified runtime assessment architecture through standardized orchestration and execution interfaces. RAMP introduces realistic compiler-construction workloads with serial dependencies and complex toolchain interactions, together with a staged recovery mechanism for analyzing execution behavior under partial workflow failure. The framework further incorporates utility-oriented multi-dimensional metrics that jointly evaluate outcome quality and process efficiency. We conduct runtime assessments across 15 mainstream models and observe substantial capability degradation that remains largely invisible to conventional isolated benchmarks. Task completion rates progressively collapse across serial workflows, dropping from 100% in the initial stage to only 20% in the final stage, while none of the evaluated models successfully completes the entire pipeline. Runtime analysis reveals systematic failure propagation and significant resource inefficiencies, with computational costs differing by up to three orders of magnitude among comparable models. These findings suggest RAMP advances agentic model evaluation toward continuous, runtime-observable, and production-grounded assessment.

Cosmos-H-Surgical: Learning Surgical Robot Policies from Videos via World Modeling

Data scarcity remains a fundamental barrier to achieving fully autonomous surgical robots. While large scale vision language action (VLA) models have shown impressive generalization in household and industrial manipulation by leveraging paired video action data from diverse domains, surgical robotics suffers from the paucity of datasets that include both visual observations and accurate robot kinematics. In contrast, vast corpora of surgical videos exist, but they lack corresponding action labels, preventing direct application of imitation learning or VLA training. In this work, we aim to alleviate this problem by learning policy models from Cosmos-H-Surgical, a world model designed for surgical physical AI. We curated the Surgical Action Text Alignment (SATA) dataset with detailed action description specifically for surgical robots. Then we built Cosmos-H-Surgical based on the most advanced physical AI world model and SATA. It's able to generate diverse, generalizable and realistic surgery videos. We are also the first to use an inverse dynamics model to infer pseudokinematics from synthetic surgical videos, producing synthetic paired video action data. We demonstrate that a surgical VLA policy trained with these augmented data significantly outperforms models trained only on real demonstrations on a real surgical robot platform. Our approach offers a scalable path toward autonomous surgical skill acquisition by leveraging the abundance of unlabeled surgical video and generative world modeling, thus opening the door to generalizable and data efficient surgical robot policies.

Cascaded Prediction and Asynchronous Execution of Iterative Algorithms on Heterogeneous Platforms

Owing to the diverse scales and varying distributions of sparse matrices arising from practical problems, a multitude of choices are present in the design and implementation of sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV). Researchers have proposed many machine learning-based optimization methods for SpMV. However, these efforts only support one area of sparse matrix format selection, SpMV algorithm selection, or parameter configuration, and rarely consider a large amount of time overhead associated with feature extraction, model inference, and compression format conversion. This paper introduces a machine learning-based cascaded prediction method for SpMV computations that spans various computing stages and hierarchies. Besides, an asynchronous and concurrent computing model has been designed and implemented for runtime model prediction and iterative algorithm solving on heterogeneous computing platforms. It not only offers comprehensive support for the iterative algorithm-solving process leveraging machine learning technology, but also effectively mitigates the preprocessing overheads. Experimental results demonstrate that the cascaded prediction introduced in this paper accelerates SpMV by 1.33x on average, and the iterative algorithm, enhanced by cascaded prediction and asynchronous execution, optimizes by 2.55x on average.

A Systematic Literature Survey of Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication

Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) is a crucial computing kernel with widespread applications in iterative algorithms. Over the past decades, research on SpMV optimization has made remarkable strides, giving rise to various optimization contributions. However, the comprehensive and systematic literature survey that introduces, analyzes, discusses, and summarizes the advancements of SpMV in recent years is currently lacking. Aiming to fill this gap, this paper compares existing techniques and analyzes their strengths and weaknesses. We begin by highlighting two representative applications of SpMV, then conduct an in-depth overview of the important techniques that optimize SpMV on modern architectures, which we specifically classify as classic, auto-tuning, machine learning, and mixed-precision-based optimization. We also elaborate on the hardware-based architectures, including CPU, GPU, FPGA, processing in Memory, heterogeneous, and distributed platforms. We present a comprehensive experimental evaluation that compares the performance of state-of-the-art SpMV implementations. Based on our findings, we identify several challenges and point out future research directions. This survey is intended to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of SpMV optimization on modern architectures and provide guidance for future work.

Evidence of Kitaev interaction in the monolayer 1T-CrTe$_2$

The two-dimensional 1T-CrTe$_2$ has been an attractive room-temperature van der Waals magnet which has a potential application in spintronic devices. Although it was recognized as a ferromagnetism in the past, the monolayer 1T-CrTe$_2$ was recently found to exhibit zigzag antiferromagnetism with the easy axis oriented at $70^\circ$ to the perpendicular direction of the plane. Therefore, the origin of the intricate anisotropic magnetic behavior therein is well worthy of thorough exploration. Here, by applying density functional theory with spin spiral method, we demonstrate that the Kitaev interaction, together with the single-ion anisotropy and other off-diagonal exchanges, is amenable to explain the magnetic orientation in the metallic 1T-CrTe$_2$. Moreover, the Ruderman-Kittle-Kasuya-Yosida interaction can also be extracted from the dispersion calculations, which explains the metallic behavior of 1T-CrTe$_2$. Our results demonstrate that 1T-CrTe$_2$ is potentially a rare metallic Kitaev material.
