Good Agentic Friends Do Not Just Give Verbal Advice: They Can Update Your Weights

Multi-agent LLM systems usually collaborate by exchanging natural-language messages. This interface is simple and interpretable, but it forces each sender's intermediate computation to be serialized into tokens and then reprocessed by the receiver, thereby increasing the generated-token cost, prefill overhead, and KV-cache memory. We study an alternative communication interface: instead of appending a sender's message to the receiver's context, compile the sender's hidden states into a transient, receiver-specific weight perturbation. We introduce TFlow (Thought Flow), a weight-space communication framework for a known and fixed receiver architecture. For each query, frozen role-prompted sender agents process the input, and a learned parameter generator maps their internal activations into low-rank LoRA perturbations targeting the receiver's modules. These perturbations are fused and applied only during the receiver's generation, enabling instance-level adaptation without permanently changing the model or enlarging the receiver's text context. With three Qwen3-4B agents, TFlow improves over a standalone receiver by up to 8.5 accuracy points across five benchmarks while reducing processed tokens by up to 32.69%. Compared with a text-based three-agent baseline, it reduces total processed tokens by up to 83.27% and the wall-clock inference time by up to 4.6$\times$, while maintaining competitive accuracy on four of five benchmarks. These results suggest that transient low-rank weight perturbations can serve as an executable communication medium for efficient multi-agent LLM collaboration.

One World, Dual Timeline: Decoupled Spatio-Temporal Gaussian Scene Graph for 4D Cooperative Driving Reconstruction

Reconstructing dynamic scenes from Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Cooperative Autonomous Driving (VICAD) data is fundamentally complicated by temporal asynchrony: vehicle and infrastructure cameras operate on independent clocks, capturing the same dynamic agent such as cars and pedestrians at different physical times. Existing Gaussian Scene Graph methods implicitly assume synchronized observations and assign a single pose per agent per frame, which is an assumption that breaks in cooperative settings, where the resulting gradient conflicts cause severe ghosting on dynamic agents. We identify this as a representation-level failure, not an optimization artifact: we prove that any single-timeline formulation incurs an irreducible photometric loss scaling quadratically with agent velocity and cross-source time offset. To resolve this, we propose Dust (DecoUpled Spatio-Temporal) Gaussian Scene Graph for 4D Cooperative Driving Reconstruction. DUST Gaussian Scene Graph shares a canonical Gaussian set per agent for appearance consistency, while maintaining decouple pose trajectories aligned to each source's true capture timestamps. We prove that this decoupling enables the pose-gradient kernel block-diagonal, eliminating cross-source interference entirely. To make Dust practical, we further introduce a static anchor-based pose correction pipeline that corrects spatio misalignment between vehicle and infrastructure annotations, and a pose-regularized joint optimization scheme that prevents trajectory jitter and drift during early training. On 26 sequences from V2X-Seq, DUST achieves state-of-the-art performance, improving dynamic-area PSNR by 3.2 dB over the strongest baseline and reducing Fréchet Video Distance by 37.7%, with keeping robustness under larger temporal asynchrony.

LC4-DViT: Land-cover Creation for Land-cover Classification with Deformable Vision Transformer

Land-cover underpins ecosystem services, hydrologic regulation, disaster-risk reduction, and evidence-based land planning; timely, accurate land-cover maps are therefore critical for environmental stewardship. Remote sensing-based land-cover classification offers a scalable route to such maps but is hindered by scarce and imbalanced annotations and by geometric distortions in high-resolution scenes. We propose LC4-DViT (Land-cover Creation for Land-cover Classification with Deformable Vision Transformer), a framework that combines generative data creation with a deformation-aware Vision Transformer. A text-guided diffusion pipeline uses GPT-4o-generated scene descriptions and super-resolved exemplars to synthesize class-balanced, high-fidelity training images, while DViT couples a DCNv4 deformable convolutional backbone with a Vision Transformer encoder to jointly capture fine-scale geometry and global context. On eight classes from the Aerial Image Dataset (AID)-Beach, Bridge, Desert, Forest, Mountain, Pond, Port, and River-DViT achieves 0.9572 overall accuracy, 0.9576 macro F1-score, and 0.9510 Cohen' s Kappa, improving over a vanilla ViT baseline (0.9274 OA, 0.9300 macro F1, 0.9169 Kappa) and outperforming ResNet50, MobileNetV2, and FlashInternImage. Cross-dataset experiments on a three-class SIRI-WHU subset (Harbor, Pond, River) yield 0.9333 overall accuracy, 0.9316 macro F1, and 0.8989 Kappa, indicating good transferability. An LLM-based judge using GPT-4o to score Grad-CAM heatmaps further shows that DViT' s attention aligns best with hydrologically meaningful structures. These results suggest that description-driven generative augmentation combined with deformation-aware transformers is a promising approach for high-resolution land-cover mapping.

Audio-Visual Intelligence in Large Foundation Models

Audio-Visual Intelligence (AVI) has emerged as a central frontier in artificial intelligence, bridging auditory and visual modalities to enable machines that can perceive, generate, and interact in the multimodal real world. In the era of large foundation models, joint modeling of audio and vision has become increasingly crucial, i.e., not only for understanding but also for controllable generation and reasoning across dynamic, temporally grounded signals. Recent advances, such as Meta MovieGen and Google Veo-3, highlight the growing industrial and academic focus on unified audio-vision architectures that learn from massive multimodal data. However, despite rapid progress, the literature remains fragmented, spanning diverse tasks, inconsistent taxonomies, and heterogeneous evaluation practices that impede systematic comparison and knowledge integration. This survey provides the first comprehensive review of AVI through the lens of large foundation models. We establish a unified taxonomy covering the broad landscape of AVI tasks, ranging from understanding (e.g., speech recognition, sound localization) to generation (e.g., audio-driven video synthesis, video-to-audio) and interaction (e.g., dialogue, embodied, or agentic interfaces). We synthesize methodological foundations, including modality tokenization, cross-modal fusion, autoregressive and diffusion-based generation, large-scale pretraining, instruction alignment, and preference optimization. Furthermore, we curate representative datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation metrics, offering a structured comparison across task families and identifying open challenges in synchronization, spatial reasoning, controllability, and safety. By consolidating this rapidly expanding field into a coherent framework, this survey aims to serve as a foundational reference for future research on large-scale AVI.

Learning to Place Objects with Programs and Iterative Self Training

In this work we study indoor scene object placement. Given a 3D indoor scene and an object, the task is to predict placement locations within the scene. Empirical observations of data-driven approaches to the problem show their tendency to miss placement modes. We introduce a system which helps to address this flaw. We design a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that specifies object relational constraints. Upon execution, programs from our language predict possible placements from a partial scene and object. We design a generative model which writes these programs automatically. Available 3D scene datasets do not contain programs to train on, and naively extracted programs only predict the original placement location of scene objects. Training on these programs results in subpar performance so we introduce a new program bootstrapping algorithm that improves our system's performance compared to the naive approach. To quantify our qualitative observations, we introduce a new evaluation procedure which captures how well a system models per-object location distributions. We ask human annotators to label all the possible places an object can go in a scene and compare this set against locations produced by the system in question. Our system produces per-object location distributions more consistent with human annotators than those produced by existing data-driven approaches and a zero-shot approach using an LLM. While other systems degrade in performance when training data is sparse, our system does not degrade to the same degree.

Mixture of Heterogeneous Grouped Experts for Language Modeling

Large Language Models (LLMs) based on Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) are pivotal in industrial applications for their ability to scale performance efficiently. However, standard MoEs enforce uniform expert sizes,creating a rigidity that fails to align computational costs with varying token-level complexity. While heterogeneous expert architectures attempt to address this by diversifying expert sizes, they often suffer from significant system-level challenges, specifically unbalanced GPU utilization and inefficient parameter utilization, which hinder practical deployment. To bridge the gap between theoretical heterogeneity and robust industrial application, we propose Mixture of Heterogeneous Grouped Experts (MoHGE) which introduces a two-level routing mechanism to enable flexible, resource-aware expert combinations. To optimize inference efficiency, we propose a Group-Wise Auxiliary Loss, which dynamically steers tokens to the most parameter-efficient expert groups based on task difficulty. To address the critical deployment challenge of GPU load balancing, we introduce an All-size Group-decoupling Allocation strategy coupled with an Intra-Group Experts Auxiliary Loss. These mechanisms collectively ensure uniform computation distribution across GPUs. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that MoHGE matches the performance of MoE architectures while reducing the total parameters by approximately 20% and maintaining balanced GPU utilization. Our work establishes a scalable paradigm for resource-efficient MoE design, offering a practical solution for optimizing inference costs in real-world scenarios. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/UnicomAI/MoHGE.

GLM-5 Serving Parameter Tuning for OpenClaw: Single-Deployment MaaS Inference Optimization for Long-Context Agent Workloads

OpenClaw requests are dominated by long, tool-augmented prefixes, including system prompts, conversation history, and tool outputs fed back into the context window. For this workload, with about 28k-30k input tokens and 500 output tokens per request, serving quality is governed by throughput, TTFT, and tail latency rather than short-prompt throughput alone. This report studies GLM-5 serving-parameter tuning within a MaaS multi-model inference optimization architecture. The scope is the Single-Node Optimization block of the inference-optimization layer, where chunked prefill, tensor parallelism (TP), pipeline parallelism (PP), and request concurrency are tuned for one GLM-5 serving deployment; in this report, "Single-Node Optimization" denotes the architecture block, while experiments run on a two-node, sixteen-GPU cluster. Within the tested space, the best configuration is chunked-prefill-size=3072, tp=4, pp-size=4, and max-running-requests=24. Compared with the conservative 2048/4/4/16 baseline, it increases request throughput from 0.43 to 0.48 req/s and total token throughput from 9029.64 to 9993.23 tok/s, while reducing average TTFT from 8.98 to 6.69 s and latency P90 from 40.23 to 32.64 s. Under the same hardware footprint, this corresponds to an estimated 10.4% lower serving cost per request and 9.6% lower cost per token. The results show that the optimum is workload-specific: larger chunk sizes and deeper queueing do not monotonically improve performance. We therefore recommend 3072 / tp4 / pp4 / max24 as the default OpenClaw deployment profile.

Counting Butterflies over Streaming Bipartite Graphs with Duplicate Edges

Bipartite graphs are commonly used to model relationships between two distinct entities in real-world applications, such as user-product interactions, user-movie ratings and collaborations between authors and publications. A butterfly (a 2x2 bi-clique) is a critical substructure in bipartite graphs, playing a significant role in tasks like community detection, fraud detection, and link prediction. As more real-world data is presented in a streaming format, efficiently counting butterflies in streaming bipartite graphs has become increasingly important. However, most existing algorithms typically assume that duplicate edges are absent, which is hard to hold in real-world graph streams, as a result, they tend to sample edges that appear multiple times, leading to inaccurate results. The only algorithm designed to handle duplicate edges is FABLE, but it suffers from significant limitations, including high variance, substantial time complexity, and memory inefficiency due to its reliance on a priority queue. To overcome these limitations, we introduce DEABC (Duplicate-Edge-Aware Butterfly Counting), an innovative method that uses bucket-based priority sampling to accurately estimate the number of butterflies, accounting for duplicate edges. Compared to existing methods, DEABC significantly reduces memory usage by storing only the essential sampled edge data while maintaining high accuracy. We provide rigorous proofs of the unbiasedness and variance bounds for DEABC, ensuring they achieve high accuracy. We compare DEABC with state-of-the-art algorithms on real-world streaming bipartite graphs. The results show that our DEABC outperforms existing methods in memory efficiency and accuracy, while also achieving significantly higher throughput.

KAConvNet: Kolmogorov-Arnold Convolutional Networks for Vision Recognition

The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been the dominant and effective approach for general computer vision tasks. Recently, Kolmogorov-Arnold neural networks (KANs), based on the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem, have shown potential to replace Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) in deep learning. KANs, which use learnable nonlinear activations on edges and simple summation on nodes, offer fewer parameters and greater explainability compared to MLPs. However, there has been limited exploration of integrating the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem with convolutional methods for computer vision tasks. Existing attempts have merely replaced learnable activation functions with weights, undermining KANs' theoretical foundation and limiting their potential effectiveness. Additionally, the B-spline curves used in KANs suffer from computational inefficiency and a tendency to overfit. In this paper, we propose a novel Kolmogorov-Arnold Convolutional Layer that deeply integrates the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem with convolution. This layer provides stronger method interpretability because it is based on established mathematical theorems and its design has theoretical alignment. Building on the Kolmogorov-Arnold Convolutional Layer, we design an efficient network architecture called KAConvNet, which outperforms existing methods combining KAN and convolution, and achieves competitive performance compared to mainstream ViTs and CNNs. We believe that our work offers valuable insight into the field of artificial intelligence and will inspire the development of more innovative CNNs in the 2020s.

Accurate Nanoscale Mapping of Electric Fields across Random Grain Boundaries in Polycrystalline Oxides Using Precession-Assisted 4D-STEM

Space charge layers (SCLs) at grain boundaries play a crucial role in modulating local electric fields and influencing the functional properties of materials, such as oxygen vacancy migration and ionic conductivity in oxide ceramics. However, the direct experimental analysis of such localized electric fields and the corresponding charge distribution remains challenging. Conventional center-of-mass (CoM) analysis in scanning transmission electron microscopy differential phase contrast (STEM-DPC) is strongly affected by orientation-dependent contrast and dynamical scattering. Here, we demonstrate that combining electron beam precession with advanced post-processing, employing iterative edge detection via a Sobel filter and singular value decomposition (SVD), enables reliable and accurate, unbiased diffraction shift measurements with minimal crystallographic artefacts. The new method accurately refines the central disk position in nanobeam electron diffraction (NBED) patterns and thus significantly improves the extraction of the local electric field and corresponding charge distribution. Comparative analysis with conventional CoM methods shows superior accuracy and robustness for random grain boundaries in BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 as exemplary case studies. The experimental work is complemented by atomistic simulations to separate the electric field of the SCL from the mean inner potential difference of the grain boundary and the elemental segregation around the grain boundary. The in-depth analysis shows that our approach enables high-fidelity mapping of electromagnetic fields and their charge distribution in complex polycrystalline specimens, laying the groundwork for improved quantitative analysis using STEM-DPC.

From homotopy Rota-Baxter algebras to Pre-Calabi-Yau and homotopy double Poisson algebras

In this paper, we investigate pre-Calabi-Yau algebras and homotopy double Poisson algebras arising from homotopy Rota-Baxter structures. We introduce the notion of cyclic homotopy Rota-Baxter algebras, a class of homotopy Rota-Baxter algebras endowed with additional cyclic symmetry, and present a construction of such structures via a process called cyclic completion. We further introduce the concept of interactive pairs, consisting of two differential graded algebras-designated as the acting algebra and the base algebra-interacting through compatible module structures. We prove that if the acting algebra carries a suitable cyclic homotopy Rota-Baxter structure, then the base algebra inherits a natural pre-Calabi-Yau structure. Using the correspondence established by Fernandez and Herscovich between pre-Calabi-Yau algebras and homotopy double Poisson algebras, we describe the resulting homotopy Poisson structure on the base algebra in terms of homotopy Rota-Baxter algebra structure. In particular, we show that a module over an ultracyclic (resp. cyclic) homotopy Rota-Baxter algebra admits a (resp. cyclic) homotopy double Lie algebra structure.

Multi-Perspective Evidence Synthesis and Reasoning for Unsupervised Multimodal Entity Linking

Multimodal Entity Linking (MEL) is a fundamental task in data management that maps ambiguous mentions with diverse modalities to the multimodal entities in a knowledge base. However, most existing MEL approaches primarily focus on optimizing instance-centric features and evidence, leaving broader forms of evidence and their intricate interdependencies insufficiently explored. Motivated by the observation that human expert decision-making process relies on multi-perspective judgment, in this work, we propose MSR-MEL, a Multi-perspective Evidence Synthesis and Reasoning framework with Large Language Models (LLMs) for unsupervised MEL. Specifically, we adopt a two-stage framework: (1) Offline Multi-Perspective Evidence Synthesis constructs a comprehensive set of evidence. This includes instance-centric evidence capturing the instance-centric multimodal information of mentions and entities, group-level evidence that aggregates neighborhood information, lexical evidence based on string overlap ratio, and statistical evidence based on simple summary statistics. A core contribution of our framework is the synthesis of group-level evidence, which effectively aggregates vital neighborhood information by graph. We first construct LLM-enhanced contextualized graphs. Subsequently, different modalities are jointly aligned through an asymmetric teacher-student graph neural network. (2) Online Multi-Perspective Evidence Reasoning leverages the power of LLM as a reasoning module to analyze the correlation and semantics of the multi-perspective evidence to induce an effective ranking strategy for accurate entity linking without supervision. Extensive experiments on widely used MEL benchmarks demonstrate that MSR-MEL consistently outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised methods.

Graph-Guided Adaptive Channel Elimination for KV Cache Compression

Large Language Models have revolutionized natural language processing, achieving unprecedented success across a vast range of tasks. However, their practical application in long-context scenarios is severely hampered by the formidable memory footprint of the Key-Value cache. While channel pruning has emerged as a promising compression strategy, existing methods evaluate channel importance in isolation, fundamentally ignoring the inter-channel interactions that collectively dictate model performance. This oversight leads to suboptimal pruning decisions. To address this, we introduce \textbf{GRACE} (\textbf{GR}aph-guided \textbf{A}daptive \textbf{C}hannel \textbf{E}limination), a novel framework that reframes KV cache compression as a graph-based optimization problem. GRACE models channels as nodes and their interactions as weighted edges, enabling the identification of a near-optimal channel subset for pruning by minimizing the reconstruction error of the attention weight matrix. Furthermore, GRACE incorporates an adaptive protection mechanism that shields salient key channels from removal, ensuring a robust autoregressive decoding process. Extensive experiments show that GRACE can reduce KV cache size by 60\% with negligible performance degradation, consistently outperforming the state-of-the-art method.

GeV gamma-ray emission in the field of the shell-type supernova remnant Vela Jr revisited

We present an updated analysis of the gigaelectronvolt (GeV) gamma-ray emission from the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0-4622 (Vela Jr) using 15 yr of Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) data. We quantitatively model the GeV morphology and find that it is best described by the masked H.E.S.S. shell template, indicating that the embedded pulsar wind nebula (PWN) contributes little to the GeV flux. The 0.1-500 GeV spectrum is well fitted by a hard power law with a photon index of $1.77 \pm 0.03$ and connects smoothly to the teraelectronvolt (TeV) spectrum, confirming previous results with improved precision. We further construct an independent eROSITA shell template and derive the 1-5 keV X-ray spectral energy distribution (SED) of the whole remnant, which provides new constraints on the synchrotron emission. We model the multi-wavelength (MWL) SED with a pure leptonic model and a hybrid lepton-hadron model. While the pure leptonic model reproduces the overall broadband shape, the hybrid model provides a better statistical description of the same dataset, supporting a mixed-origin picture in which the hadronic contribution is mainly relevant in the GeV band and the TeV emission remains predominantly leptonic.

The Salami Slicing Threat: Exploiting Cumulative Risks in LLM Systems

Large Language Models (LLMs) face prominent security risks from jailbreaking, a practice that manipulates models to bypass built-in security constraints and generate unethical or unsafe content. Among various jailbreak techniques, multi-turn jailbreak attacks are more covert and persistent than single-turn counterparts, exposing critical vulnerabilities of LLMs. However, existing multi-turn jailbreak methods suffer from two fundamental limitations that affect the actual impact in real-world scenarios: (a) As models become more context-aware, any explicit harmful trigger is increasingly likely to be flagged and blocked; (b) Successful final-step triggers often require finely tuned, model-specific contexts, making such attacks highly context-dependent. To fill this gap, we propose \textit{Salami Slicing Risk}, which operates by chaining numerous low-risk inputs that individually evade alignment thresholds but cumulatively accumulate harmful intent to ultimately trigger high-risk behaviors, without heavy reliance on pre-designed contextual structures. Building on this risk, we develop Salami Attack, an automatic framework universally applicable to multiple model types and modalities. Rigorous experiments demonstrate its state-of-the-art performance across diverse models and modalities, achieving over 90\% Attack Success Rate on GPT-4o and Gemini, as well as robustness against real-world alignment defenses. We also proposed a defense strategy to constrain the Salami Attack by at least 44.8\% while achieving a maximum blocking rate of 64.8\% against other multi-turn jailbreak attacks. Our findings provide critical insights into the pervasive risks of multi-turn jailbreaking and offer actionable mitigation strategies to enhance LLM security.

Back to Basics: Let Conversational Agents Remember with Just Retrieval and Generation

Existing conversational memory systems rely on complex hierarchical summarization or reinforcement learning to manage long-term dialogue history, yet remain vulnerable to context dilution as conversations grow. In this work, we offer a different perspective: the primary bottleneck may lie not in memory architecture, but in the \textit{Signal Sparsity Effect} within the latent knowledge manifold. Through controlled experiments, we identify two key phenomena: \textit{Decisive Evidence Sparsity}, where relevant signals become increasingly isolated with longer sessions, leading to sharp degradation in aggregation-based methods; and \textit{Dual-Level Redundancy}, where both inter-session interference and intra-session conversational filler introduce large amounts of non-informative content, hindering effective generation. Motivated by these insights, we propose \method, a minimalist framework that brings conversational memory back to basics, relying solely on retrieval and generation via Turn Isolation Retrieval (TIR) and Query-Driven Pruning (QDP). TIR replaces global aggregation with a max-activation strategy to capture turn-level signals, while QDP removes redundant sessions and conversational filler to construct a compact, high-density evidence set. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that \method achieves robust performance across diverse settings, consistently outperforming strong baselines while maintaining high efficiency in tokens and latency, establishing a new minimalist baseline for conversational memory.

Adaptive Action Chunking at Inference-time for Vision-Language-Action Models

In Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, action chunking (i.e., executing a sequence of actions without intermediate replanning) is a key technique to improve robotic manipulation abilities. However, a large chunk size reduces the model's responsiveness to new information, while a small one increases the likelihood of mode-jumping, jerky behavior resulting from discontinuities between chunks. Therefore, selecting the optimal chunk size is an urgent demand to balance the model's reactivity and consistency. Unfortunately, a dominant trend in current VLA models is an empirical fixed chunk length at inference-time, hindering their superiority and scalability across diverse manipulation tasks. To address this issue, we propose a novel Adaptive Action Chunking (AAC) strategy, which exploits action entropy as the cue to adaptively determine the chunk size based on current predictions. Extensive experiments on a wide range of simulated and real-world robotic manipulation tasks have demonstrated that our approach substantially improves performance over the state-of-the-art alternatives.

Seyfert Galaxies as Neutrino Sources: An Outflow$-$Cloud Interaction Perspective

Following the identification of the first confirmed individual neutrino source, Seyfert galaxies have emerged as the most prominent class of high-energy neutrino emitters. In this work, we perform a detailed investigation of the outflow--cloud interaction scenario for neutrino production in Seyfert nuclei. In this framework, fast AGN-driven winds collide with clumpy gas clouds in the nuclear region, forming bow shocks that efficiently accelerate cosmic-ray protons. The accelerated protons subsequently interact with cold protons from the outflows via inelastic proton--proton ($pp$) collisions, producing high-energy neutrinos, while the photomeson ($pγ$) process with disk photons may provide a subdominant contribution at the highest energies. Applying this model to five neutrino-associated Seyfert galaxies, we successfully reproduce the observed TeV neutrino fluxes without violating existing gamma-ray constraints. By integrating over the Seyfert population using X-ray luminosity functions, we further demonstrate that Seyfert galaxies can account for a substantial fraction of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino background in the $10^4-10^5~{\rm GeV}$ energy range.
