RESPClinBench: Benchmarking Multimodal Clinical Decision-Making and Longitudinal Disease Management in Respiratory Specialty Care

Background: Respiratory specialty care requires multimodal interpretation, longitudinal risk assessment, guideline-concordant intervention, and whole-course management, which are poorly represented by examination-oriented medical benchmarks. Objective: To develop RESPClinBench, a real-world scenario-based benchmark for respiratory clinical decision-making, and evaluate seven contemporary large language models across AECOPD-PIM and PNBIM. Methods: RESPClinBench cases were adapted from de-identified respiratory clinical data. Three attending-level respiratory physicians revised cases, reference answers, and atomic clinical-action points, while one senior respiratory specialist performed cross-review and final adjudication. AECOPD-PIM comprised 427 open-ended COPD cases, and PNBIM comprised 196 multimodal pulmonary nodule cases combining chest CT with structured clinical information. Seven models generated 4,361 responses through standardized API inference with temperature 0 and a maximum output length of 8192 tokens. An automated framework calculated the final score as the arithmetic mean of atomic-action recall and rubric-based LLM-as-a-Judge assessment. Results: Across 623 cases, the mean final score was 68.58. Qwen3.6-27B ranked first overall at 71.22, Qwen3.5-397B-A17B led PNBIM at 72.48, and Qwen3.6-27B led AECOPD-PIM at 71.11. Imaging hallucination and serious medical risk occurred in 31.85% and 8.16% of PNBIM responses; medication-safety risk and serious medical risk occurred in 26.93% and 1.44% of AECOPD-PIM responses. Conclusions: RESPClinBench identifies task-specific limitations in multimodal pulmonary nodule assessment and longitudinal COPD management. Combining explicit clinical-action coverage, holistic evaluation, and independent safety flags provides a clinically grounded basis for model selection and prospective validation.

Training Long-Context Vision-Language Models Effectively with Generalization Beyond 128K Context

Long-context modeling is becoming a core capability of modern large vision-language models (LVLMs), enabling sustained context management across long-document understanding, video analysis, and multi-turn tool use in agentic workflows. Yet practical training recipes remain insufficiently explored, particularly for designing and balancing long-context data mixtures. In this work, we present a systematic study of long-context continued pre-training for LVLMs, extending a 7B model from 32K to 128K context with extensive ablations on long-document data. We first show that long-document VQA is substantially more effective than OCR transcription. Building on this observation, our ablations further yield three key findings: i) for sequence-length distribution, balanced data outperforms target-length-focused data (e.g., 128K), suggesting that long-context ability requires generalizable key-information retrieval across various lengths and positions; ii) retrieval remains the primary bottleneck, favoring retrieval-heavy mixtures with modest reasoning data for task diversity; and iii) pure long-document VQA largely preserves short-context capabilities, suggesting that instruction-formatted long data reduces the need for short-data mixing. Based on these findings, we introduce MMProLong, obtained by long-context continued pre-training from Qwen2.5-VL-7B with only a 5B-token budget. MMProLong improves long-document VQA scores by 7.1% and maintains strong performance at 256K and 512K contexts beyond its 128K training window, without additional training. It further generalizes to webpage-based multimodal needle retrieval, long-context vision-text compression, and long-video understanding without task-specific supervision. Overall, our study establishes a practical LongPT recipe and an empirical foundation for advancing long-context vision-language models.

ProjDevBench: Benchmarking AI Coding Agents on End-to-End Project Development

Recent coding agents can generate complete codebases from simple prompts, yet existing evaluations focus on issue-level bug fixing and lag behind end-to-end development. We introduce ProjDevBench, an end-to-end benchmark that provides project requirements to coding agents and evaluates the resulting repositories. Combining Online Judge (OJ) testing with LLM-assisted code review, the benchmark evaluates agents on (1) system architecture design, (2) functional correctness, and (3) iterative solution refinement. We curate 20 programming problems across 8 categories, covering both concept-oriented tasks and real-world application scenarios, and evaluate six coding agents built on different LLM backends. Our evaluation reports an overall acceptance rate of 27.38%: agents handle basic functionality and data structures but struggle with complex system design, time complexity optimization, and resource management. Our benchmark is available at https://github.com/zsworld6/projdevbench.

MME-CC: A Challenging Multi-Modal Evaluation Benchmark of Cognitive Capacity

As reasoning models scale rapidly, the essential role of multimodality in human cognition has come into sharp relief, driving a growing need to probe vision-centric cognitive behaviors. Yet, existing multimodal benchmarks either overemphasize textual reasoning or fall short of systematically capturing vision-centric cognitive behaviors, leaving the cognitive capacity of MLLMs insufficiently assessed. To address this limitation, we introduce MME-CC (Multi-Modal Evaluation benchmark of Cognitive Capacity), a vision-grounded benchmark that organizes 11 representative reasoning tasks into three fundamental categories of visual information: spatial, geometric, and knowledge-based reasoning, and provides fine-grained analyses of MLLMs' cognitive capacity across these dimensions. Based on MME-CC, we conduct extensive experiments over 16 representative MLLMs. Our study reveals that closed-source models currently lead overall (e.g., 42.66 for Gemini-2.5-Pro vs. 30.45 for GLM-4.5V), while spatial and geometric reasoning remain broadly weak (less than or equal to 30%). We further identify common error patterns, including orientation mistakes, fragile cross-view identity persistence, and poor adherence to counterfactual instructions, and observe that Chain-of-Thought typically follows a three-stage process (extract -> reason -> verify) with heavy reliance on visual extraction. We hope this work catalyzes a shift toward treating the cognitive capacity of MLLMs as central to both evaluation and model design.

Understanding Cloud Workloads Performance in a Production like Environment

Understanding inter-VM interference is of paramount importance to provide a sound knowledge and understand where performance degradation comes from in the current public cloud. With this aim, this paper devises a workload taxonomy that classifies applications according to how the major system resources affect their performance (e.g., tail latency) as a function of the level of load (e.g., QPS). After that, we present three main studies addressing three major concerns to improve the cloud performance: impact of the level of load on performance, impact of hyper-threading on performance, and impact of limiting the major system resources (e.g., last level cache) on performance. In all these studies we identified important findings that we hope help cloud providers improve their system utilization.
