GeoLink: A 3D-aware Framework to Improve Generalization for Cross-view Geo-localization

Generalizable cross-view geo-localization aims to match the same location across views in unseen regions and conditions without GPS supervision. Its core difficulty lies in severe semantic inconsistency caused by viewpoint variation and poor generalization under domain shift. Existing methods mainly rely on 2D correspondence, but they are easily distracted by redundant shared information across views, leading to less transferable representations. To address this, we propose GeoLink, a 3D-aware semantic-consistent framework for Generalizable cross-view geo-localization. Specifically, we offline reconstruct scene point clouds from multi-view drone images using VGGT, providing stable structural priors. Based on these 3D anchors, we improve 2D representation learning in two complementary ways. A Geometric-aware Semantic Refinement module mitigates potentially redundant and view-biased dependencies in 2D features under 3D guidance. In addition, a Unified View Relation Distillation module transfers 3D structural relations to 2D features, improving cross-view alignment while preserving a 2D-only inference pipeline. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks show that GeoLink consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods and achieves superior generalization across unseen domains and diverse weather environments.

Rethinking Shrinkage Bias in LLM FP4 Pretraining: Geometric Origin, Systemic Impact, and UFP4 Recipe

FP4 training promises substantial reductions in memory and computation cost for LLM pretraining, yet current FP4 hardware paths and recipes, including NVIDIA Blackwell/Rubin-class systems and AMD MI350-series GPUs, remain centered on E2M1 data elements. In this study, we identify a fundamental limitation of that choice: non-uniform formats such as E2M1 inherently suffer from Shrinkage Bias, a systematic negative rounding error caused by the geometric asymmetry of their representable bins. We show that this bias accumulates multiplicatively across layers and is amplified by the Random Hadamard Transform (RHT), providing a unified explanation for the training instability observed in existing E2M1-based FP4 recipes. In contrast, uniform grids (E1M2/INT4) bypass this grid-geometry error and better convert the improved bucket utilization from RHT into higher quantization quality. Based on this finding, we propose UFP4, a uniform 4-bit training recipe that applies RHT to all three training GEMMs while restricting stochastic rounding to dY alone. On Dense 1.5B, MoE 7.9B, and MoE 124B long-run pretraining, UFP4 consistently achieves lower BF16-relative loss degradation than strong E2M1-based baselines, supported by scaling-law analysis and ablation studies. Our results suggest that future accelerators should support E1M2/INT4-style uniform 4-bit grids as first-class training primitives alongside E2M1.

Ling and Ring 2.6 Technical Report: Efficient and Instant Agentic Intelligence at Trillion-Parameter Scale

Efficient and scalable agentic intelligence requires models that can deliver both low-latency responses and strong reasoning capabilities while remaining practical to train, serve, and deploy. In this report, we present Ling-2.6 and Ring-2.6, a family of models designed to address this challenge at scale. Ling-2.6 is optimized for instant response generation and high capability per output token, whereas Ring-2.6 is tailored for deeper reasoning and more advanced agentic workflows. Instead of training from scratch, we upgrade the Ling-2.0 base model through architectural migration pre-training and large-scale post-training. This upgrade is guided by a unified co-design of model architecture, optimization objectives, serving systems, and agent training environments, enabling improvements in both model capability and deployment efficiency. At the architectural level, we introduce a hybrid linear attention design that integrates Lightning Attention with MLA, improving the efficiency of long-context training and decoding. To further enhance token efficiency, we optimize capability per output token through Evolutionary Chain-of-Thought, Linguistic Unit Policy Optimization, bidirectional preference alignment, and shortest-correct-response distillation. For agentic capabilities, we propose KPop, a reinforcement learning framework designed to support stable training of Ring-2.6-1T on large-scale environment-grounded data. KPop improves training efficiency through asynchronous scheduling across coding, search, tool use, and workflow execution, enabling scalable learning from complex agent-environment interactions. Together, Ling-2.6 and Ring-2.6 provide a practical pathway toward efficient, scalable, and open agentic systems. We open-source all checkpoints in the 2.6 family to support further research and development in practical agentic intelligence.

MATA-Former & SIICU: Semantic Aware Temporal Alignment for High-Fidelity ICU Risk Prediction

Forecasting evolving clinical risks relies on intrinsic pathological dependencies rather than mere chronological proximity, yet current methods struggle with coarse binary supervision and physical timestamps. To align predictive modeling with clinical logic, we propose the Medical-semantics Aware Time-ALiBi Transformer (MATA-Former), utilizing event semantics to dynamically parameterize attention weights to prioritize causal validity over time lags. Furthermore, we introduce Plateau-Gaussian Soft Labeling (PSL), reformulating binary classification into continuous multi-horizon regression for full-trajectory risk modeling. Evaluated on SIICU -- a newly constructed dataset featuring over 506k events with rigorous expert-verified, fine-grained annotations -- and the MIMIC-IV dataset, our framework demonstrates superior efficacy and robust generalization in capturing risks from text-intensive, irregular clinical time series.

MedAD-R1: Eliciting Consistent Reasoning in Interpretible Medical Anomaly Detection via Consistency-Reinforced Policy Optimization

Medical Anomaly Detection (MedAD) presents a significant opportunity to enhance diagnostic accuracy using Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to interpret and answer questions based on medical images. However, the reliance on Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on simplistic and fragmented datasets has hindered the development of models capable of plausible reasoning and robust multimodal generalization. To overcome this, we introduce MedAD-38K, the first large-scale, multi-modal, and multi-center benchmark for MedAD featuring diagnostic Chain-of-Thought (CoT) annotations alongside structured Visual Question-Answering (VQA) pairs. On this foundation, we propose a two-stage training framework. The first stage, Cognitive Injection, uses SFT to instill foundational medical knowledge and align the model with a structured think-then-answer paradigm. Given that standard policy optimization can produce reasoning that is disconnected from the final answer, the second stage incorporates Consistency Group Relative Policy Optimization (Con-GRPO). This novel algorithm incorporates a crucial consistency reward to ensure the generated reasoning process is relevant and logically coherent with the final diagnosis. Our proposed model, MedAD-R1, achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on the MedAD-38K benchmark, outperforming strong baselines by more than 10\%. This superior performance stems from its ability to generate transparent and logically consistent reasoning pathways, offering a promising approach to enhancing the trustworthiness and interpretability of AI for clinical decision support.

Position-Aware Self-supervised Representation Learning for Cross-mode Radar Signal Recognition

Radar signal recognition in open electromagnetic environments is challenging due to diverse operating modes and unseen radar types. Existing methods often overlook position relations in pulse sequences, limiting their ability to capture semantic dependencies over time. We propose RadarPos, a position-aware self-supervised framework that leverages pulse-level temporal dynamics without complex augmentations or masking, providing improved position relation modeling over contrastive learning or masked reconstruction. Using this framework, we evaluate cross-mode radar signal recognition under the long-tailed setting to assess adaptability and generalization. Experimental results demonstrate enhanced discriminability and robustness, highlighting practical applicability in real-world electromagnetic environments.

Every Activation Boosted: Scaling General Reasoner to 1 Trillion Open Language Foundation

We introduce Ling 2.0, a series reasoning-oriented language foundation built upon the principle that every activation boosts reasoning capability. Designed to scale from tens of billions to one trillion parameters under a unified Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) paradigm, Ling 2.0 emphasizes high sparsity, cross-scale consistency, and efficiency guided by empirical scaling laws. The series includes three non-thinking (instruct) models - Ling-mini-2.0, Ling-flash-2.0, and Ling-1T - ranging from 16B to 1T total parameters and achieving up to 7-fold active-compute efficiency compared with dense counterparts. Ling 2.0 integrates coordinated innovations across model architecture, pre-training, post-training, and infrastructure: a high-sparsity MoE with MTP for efficient reasoning, reasoning-oriented data and mid-training CoT activation, reinforcement-based fine-tuning (DFT, Evo-CoT), and full-scale FP8 training with fine-grained heterogeneous pipelines. At the trillion scale, Ling-1T establishes a new Pareto frontier of reasoning accuracy versus computational efficiency, demonstrating that sparse activation, when properly aligned with reasoning objectives, enables scalable and efficient intelligence. Collectively, Ling 2.0 provides a coherent, open, and efficient foundation for advancing future reasoning and thinking models, including the Ring series built upon the same base.

Scaling Graph Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: A Multi-Agent Framework with Efficient LLM Serving

Graph Chain-of-Thought (Graph-CoT) enables large language models (LLMs) to perform step-by-step reasoning over graph-structured knowledge, but existing pipelines suffer from low accuracy, excessive token usage, high latency, and low throughput due to single-agent monolithic prompts, repeated context re-encoding, and inefficient serving execution. We present GLM, the first multi-agent Graph-CoT system co-designed with an optimized LLM serving architecture. GLM decomposes reasoning into specialized agents for classification, reasoning, action generation, and graph retrieval, enabling branching and selective context sharing to reduce prompt length and reasoning iterations while preserving reasoning quality, thereby improving accuracy and reducing overall token consumption. To scale inference, we introduce a Graph-CoT-aware LLM inference mechanism with graph-specific KV-cache management, priority-based eviction, and pipelined execution to improve serving efficiency. Experiments demonstrate that GLM improves answer accuracy by up to 38%, reduces token cost by up to 95.7%, lowers inference latency by 90.3%, and achieves up to 15.1x higher throughput compared to state-of-the-art Graph-CoT baselines, enabling efficient adoption for complex real-world reasoning at scale.

Enabling High-Frequency Cross-Modality Visual Positioning Service for Accurate Drone Landing

After years of growth, drone-based delivery is transforming logistics. At its core, real-time 6-DoF drone pose tracking enables precise flight control and accurate drone landing. With the widespread availability of urban 3D maps, the Visual Positioning Service (VPS), a mobile pose estimation system, has been adapted to enhance drone pose tracking during the landing phase, as conventional systems like GPS are unreliable in urban environments due to signal attenuation and multi-path propagation. However, deploying the current VPS on drones faces limitations in both estimation accuracy and efficiency. In this work, we redesign drone-oriented VPS with the event camera and introduce EV-Pose to enable accurate, high-frequency 6-DoF pose tracking for accurate drone landing. EV-Pose introduces a spatio-temporal feature-instructed pose estimation module that extracts a temporal distance field to enable 3D point map matching for pose estimation; and a motion-aware hierarchical fusion and optimization scheme to enhance the above estimation in accuracy and efficiency, by utilizing drone motion in the \textit{early stage} of event filtering and the \textit{later stage} of pose optimization. Evaluation shows that EV-Pose achieves a rotation accuracy of 1.34$\degree$ and a translation accuracy of 6.9$mm$ with a tracking latency of 10.08$ms$, outperforming baselines by $>$50\%, \tmcrevise{thus enabling accurate drone landings.} Demo: https://ev-pose.github.io/

Track Any Anomalous Object: A Granular Video Anomaly Detection Pipeline

Video anomaly detection (VAD) is crucial in scenarios such as surveillance and autonomous driving, where timely detection of unexpected activities is essential. Although existing methods have primarily focused on detecting anomalous objects in videos -- either by identifying anomalous frames or objects -- they often neglect finer-grained analysis, such as anomalous pixels, which limits their ability to capture a broader range of anomalies. To address this challenge, we propose a new framework called Track Any Anomalous Object (TAO), which introduces a granular video anomaly detection pipeline that, for the first time, integrates the detection of multiple fine-grained anomalous objects into a unified framework. Unlike methods that assign anomaly scores to every pixel, our approach transforms the problem into pixel-level tracking of anomalous objects. By linking anomaly scores to downstream tasks such as segmentation and tracking, our method removes the need for threshold tuning and achieves more precise anomaly localization in long and complex video sequences. Experiments demonstrate that TAO sets new benchmarks in accuracy and robustness. Project page available online.

Structure-guided Deep Multi-View Clustering

Deep multi-view clustering seeks to utilize the abundant information from multiple views to improve clustering performance. However, most of the existing clustering methods often neglect to fully mine multi-view structural information and fail to explore the distribution of multi-view data, limiting clustering performance. To address these limitations, we propose a structure-guided deep multi-view clustering model. Specifically, we introduce a positive sample selection strategy based on neighborhood relationships, coupled with a corresponding loss function. This strategy constructs multi-view nearest neighbor graphs to dynamically redefine positive sample pairs, enabling the mining of local structural information within multi-view data and enhancing the reliability of positive sample selection. Additionally, we introduce a Gaussian distribution model to uncover latent structural information and introduce a loss function to reduce discrepancies between view embeddings. These two strategies explore multi-view structural information and data distribution from different perspectives, enhancing consistency across views and increasing intra-cluster compactness. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the efficacy of our method, showing significant improvements in clustering performance on multiple benchmark datasets compared to state-of-the-art multi-view clustering approaches.

Every FLOP Counts: Scaling a 300B Mixture-of-Experts LING LLM without Premium GPUs

In this technical report, we tackle the challenges of training large-scale Mixture of Experts (MoE) models, focusing on overcoming cost inefficiency and resource limitations prevalent in such systems. To address these issues, we present two differently sized MoE large language models (LLMs), namely Ling-Lite and Ling-Plus (referred to as "Bailing" in Chinese, spelled Bǎilíng in Pinyin). Ling-Lite contains 16.8 billion parameters with 2.75 billion activated parameters, while Ling-Plus boasts 290 billion parameters with 28.8 billion activated parameters. Both models exhibit comparable performance to leading industry benchmarks. This report offers actionable insights to improve the efficiency and accessibility of AI development in resource-constrained settings, promoting more scalable and sustainable technologies. Specifically, to reduce training costs for large-scale MoE models, we propose innovative methods for (1) optimization of model architecture and training processes, (2) refinement of training anomaly handling, and (3) enhancement of model evaluation efficiency. Additionally, leveraging high-quality data generated from knowledge graphs, our models demonstrate superior capabilities in tool use compared to other models. Ultimately, our experimental findings demonstrate that a 300B MoE LLM can be effectively trained on lower-performance devices while achieving comparable performance to models of a similar scale, including dense and MoE models. Compared to high-performance devices, utilizing a lower-specification hardware system during the pre-training phase demonstrates significant cost savings, reducing computing costs by approximately 20%.

Interpretable QSPR Modeling using Recursive Feature Machines and Multi-scale Fingerprints

This study pioneers the application of Recursive Feature Machines (RFM) in QSPR modeling, introducing a tailored feature importance analysis approach to enhance interpretability. By leveraging deep feature learning through AGOP, RFM achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) results in predicting molecular properties, as demonstrated through solubility prediction across nine benchmark datasets. To capture a wide array of structural information, we employ diverse molecular representations, including MACCS keys, Morgan fingerprints, and a custom multi-scale hybrid fingerprint (HF) derived from global descriptors and SMILES local fragmentation techniques. Notably, the HF offers significant advantages over MACCS and Morgan fingerprints in revealing structural determinants of molecular properties. The feature importance analysis in RFM provides robust local and global explanations, effectively identifying structural features that drive molecular behavior and offering valuable insights for drug development. Additionally, RFM demonstrates strong redundancy-filtering abilities, as model performance remains stable even after removing redundant features within custom fingerprints. Importantly, RFM introduces the deep feature learning capabilities of the average gradient outer product (AGOP) matrix into ultra-fast kernel machine learning, to imbue kernel machines with interpretable deep feature learning capabilities. We extend this approach beyond the Laplace Kernel to the Matern, Rational Quadratic, and Gaussian kernels, to find that the Matern and Laplace kernels deliver the best performance, thus reinforcing the flexibility and effectiveness of AGOP in RFM. Experimental results show that RFM-HF surpasses both traditional machine learning models and advanced graph neural networks.

DLRover-RM: Resource Optimization for Deep Recommendation Models Training in the Cloud

Deep learning recommendation models (DLRM) rely on large embedding tables to manage categorical sparse features. Expanding such embedding tables can significantly enhance model performance, but at the cost of increased GPU/CPU/memory usage. Meanwhile, tech companies have built extensive cloud-based services to accelerate training DLRM models at scale. In this paper, we conduct a deep investigation of the DLRM training platforms at AntGroup and reveal two critical challenges: low resource utilization due to suboptimal configurations by users and the tendency to encounter abnormalities due to an unstable cloud environment. To overcome them, we introduce DLRover-RM, an elastic training framework for DLRMs designed to increase resource utilization and handle the instability of a cloud environment. DLRover-RM develops a resource-performance model by considering the unique characteristics of DLRMs and a three-stage heuristic strategy to automatically allocate and dynamically adjust resources for DLRM training jobs for higher resource utilization. Further, DLRover-RM develops multiple mechanisms to ensure efficient and reliable execution of DLRM training jobs. Our extensive evaluation shows that DLRover-RM reduces job completion times by 31%, increases the job completion rate by 6%, enhances CPU usage by 15%, and improves memory utilization by 20%, compared to state-of-the-art resource scheduling frameworks. DLRover-RM has been widely deployed at AntGroup and processes thousands of DLRM training jobs on a daily basis. DLRover-RM is open-sourced and has been adopted by 10+ companies.

High-fidelity $\sqrt{i\text{SWAP}}$ gates using a fixed coupler driven by two microwave pulses

Attaining high-fidelity two-qubit gates represents a pivotal quantum operation for the realization of large-scale quantum computation and simulation. In this study, we propose a microwave-control protocol for the implementation of a two-qubit gate employing two transmon qubits coupled via a fixed-frequency transmon coupler. This protocol entails applying two microwave pulses exclusively to the coupler, thereby inducing interaction between the fixed-frequency transmon qubits. This interaction facilitates the realization of $\sqrt{i\text{SWAP}}$ gates. Additionally, we explore the implementation of the gate scheme in two distinct qubit architectures. Demonstrating with experimentally accessible parameters, we show that high-fidelity $\sqrt{i\text{SWAP}}$ gates can be achieved

Robust millisecond coherence times of erbium electron spins

Erbium-doped solids are prime candidates for optical quantum communication networks due to erbium's telecom C-band emission. A long-lived electron spin of erbium with millisecond coherence time is highly desirable for establishing entanglement between adjacent quantum repeater nodes while long-term storage of the entanglement could rely on transferring to erbium's second-long coherence nuclear spins. Here we report GHz-range electron spin transitions of $^{167}\mathrm{Er}^{3+}$ in yttrium oxide ($\mathrm{Y_2O_3}$) matrix with coherence times that are consistently longer than a millisecond. Instead of addressing field-specific Zero First-Order Zeeman transitions, we probe weakly mixed electron spins with the field orientation along the lower g-factors. Using pulsed electron spin resonance spectroscopy, we find paramagnetic impurities are the dominant source of decoherence, and by polarizing them we achieve a Hahn echo spin $\mathrm{T_2}$ up to 1.46 ms, and a coherence time up to 7.1 ms after dynamical decoupling. These coherence lifetimes are among the longest found in crystalline hosts especially those with nuclear spins. We further enhance the coherence time beyond conventional dynamical decoupling, using customized sequences to simultaneously mitigate spectral diffusion and Er-Er dipolar interactions. Despite nuclear and impurity spins in the host, this work shows that long-lived erbium spins comparable to non-nuclear spin hosts can be achieved. Our study not only establishes $^{167}\mathrm{Er}^{3+}$: $\mathrm{Y_2 O_3}$ as a significantly promising quantum memory platform but also provides a general guideline for engineering long-lived erbium spins in a variety of host materials for quantum technologies.
