VLZip: Unified Visual and Textual Compression for Interleaved Long-Context Modeling

Vision Language Models (VLMs) face significant challenges with ultra-long, interleaved image-text sequences due to the quadratic complexity of self-attention. Current solutions either resort to aggressive token pruning, risking irreversible information loss, or adopt efficient but less precise architectures, while largely ignoring the equally vital textual component. We introduce VLZip, a framework that unifies visual and textual compression for high-fidelity reasoning within a pure Transformer. At its core, VLZip hierarchically distills visual and textual segments into compact, layer-specific "soft prefixes" and injects them into each decoder layer's hidden states, drastically shortening the attention sequence while preserving fine-grained global context. To address deficient evaluations in the field, we also introduce LongVLBench, a new benchmark derived from video narratives that demands holistic, narrative-level reasoning. Extensive experiments show VLZip achieves leading performance on long-context multimodal reasoning, enabling training up to 120K tokens, a 6x increase over the baseline, and inference beyond 280K tokens with significantly reduced memory, while demonstrating the memory scalability to handle up to 2M tokens. By excelling at extreme context lengths where existing methods collapse, VLZip establishes an efficient and powerful new standard for long-context multimodal AI. Code is available at https://github.com/ShareLab-SII/VLZip.

N-GRPO: Embedding-Level Neighbor Mixing for Enhanced Policy Optimization

The success of Large Language Models in mathematical reasoning relies heavily on the generation of diverse and valid solution paths during the rollout phase. However, current rollout techniques face a fundamental trade-off: token-level sampling often yields redundant trajectories that differ only in rephrasing, while embedding-level methods utilizing random noise frequently disrupt semantic consistency. To resolve this, we introduce N-GRPO, a novel exploration strategy integrated into the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) framework. Rather than relying on token-level sampling or native embedding-level noise, our approach leverages Semantic Neighbor Mixing. This mechanism dynamically constructs input representations by mixing the embeddings of an anchor token and its nearest semantic neighbors, thereby injecting diversity while strictly adhering to the local semantic manifold. Experimental evaluations on the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen models across different sizes show that N-GRPO not only achieves consistent improvements over strong baselines on math reasoning benchmarks but also exhibits robust generalization capabilities on out-of-distribution tasks.

CODEFUSE-DEBENCH: An Empirical Study on Readability, Recompilability, and Functionality

Binary decompilation aims to recover binaries into high-level source code, but existing evaluations mainly rely on syntactic similarity or single-axis readability metrics, which fail to capture practical reusability. We propose a reusability-driven evaluation paradigm that measures decompiler quality along three orthogonal dimensions: readability, recompilability, and functionality. We present DEBENCH, the first automated framework for multidimensional decompilation evaluation. DEBENCH contains 240 atomic test functions, organized into 8 source files and compiled into 640 binaries. It combines LLM-as-judge readability scoring with URAF (18 sub-dimensions), iterative compile-and-repair under a fixed 50-iteration budget, and Frida-based differential dynamic tracing at the program, function, and instruction levels. We evaluate five mainstream decompilers and three repair LLMs. Our study reveals four findings. First, the reusability cliff is steep: the best decompiler-LLM pair reaches 22.3% Exact+Partial program-level behavioral overlap but only 1.2% exact stdout match, nearly 50 points below recompilability. Second, settings that maximize readability do not maximize functionality: -O3 yields the lowest readability but the highest functionality, and Clang gives lower readability than GCC but 2.6x higher functionality. Third, cross-decompiler variation at the functional level is 20x, far larger than the 1.6x cross-LLM variation, showing that progress depends more on decompiler engines than larger repair models. Fourth, failures fall into three categories: syntactic noise, type-system collapse (about 19% of repair errors), and irreversible upstream losses such as ARM64 relocation idioms and C++ ABI features.

Domain-Specific Data Synthesis for LLMs via Minimal Sufficient Representation Learning

Large Language Models have demonstrated remarkable progress in general-purpose capabilities and can achieve strong performance in specific domains through fine-tuning on domain-specific data. However, acquiring high-quality data for target domains remains a significant challenge. Existing data synthesis approaches follow a deductive paradigm, heavily relying on explicit domain descriptions expressed in natural language and careful prompt engineering, limiting their applicability in real-world scenarios where domains are difficult to describe or formally articulate. In this work, we tackle the underexplored problem of domain-specific data synthesis through an inductive paradigm, where the target domain is defined only through a set of reference examples, particularly when domain characteristics are difficult to articulate in natural language. We propose a novel framework, DOMINO, that learns a minimal sufficient domain representation from reference samples and leverages it to guide the generation of domain-aligned synthetic data. DOMINO integrates prompt tuning with a contrastive disentanglement objective to separate domain-level patterns from sample-specific noise, mitigating overfitting while preserving core domain characteristics. Theoretically, we prove that DOMINO expands the support of the synthetic data distribution, ensuring greater diversity. Empirically, on challenging coding benchmarks where domain definitions are implicit, fine-tuning on data synthesized by DOMINO improves Pass@1 accuracy by up to 4.63\% over strong, instruction-tuned backbones, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness. This work establishes a new paradigm for domain-specific data synthesis, enabling practical and scalable domain adaptation without manual prompt design or natural language domain specifications.

Guiding LLM-based Loop Invariant Synthesis via Feedback on Local Reasoning Errors

We propose a novel framework that provides constructive feedback to an LLM in the "guess-and-check" paradigm by formally verifying its own thinking process and detecting local reasoning errors. We apply this framework to the loop invariant synthesis problem. We prompt the model to produce a step-by-step natural language proof justifying its thinking process for the failed verification condition of its generated loop invariants. Then, we use an LLM to translate the reasoning steps into first-order logic implications, which can be checked automatically. An invalid implication pinpoints the exact logical flaw in the LLM's thinking process, which we then use to construct targeted feedback for refinement. We have implemented our approach in a tool called LORIS and evaluated it on a main benchmark suite of 460 C programs and an additional benchmark suite of 50 C programs each of which involves non-linear properties. On the main benchmark suite, LORIS solved 445 of the programs, and achieved an overall success rate of $93.1\%$. LORIS also demonstrates robustness on the challenging non-linear benchmark suite.

SOLAR: Self-supervised Joint Learning for Symmetric Multimodal Retrieval

In this work, we address the critical yet underexplored challenge of symmetric multimodal-to-multimodal (MM2MM) retrieval, where queries and contexts are interchangeable. Existing universal multimodal retrieval works struggle with this task, as they are constrained by the labeled asymmetric datasets used. We produce SOLAR (Self-supervised jOint LeArning for symmetric multimodal Retrieval), a novel two-stage self-supervised framework that leverages readily available unlabeled web-scale image-text pairs. Based on the observation that both semantic alignment and discrepancies exist between two modalities, in the first stage, we learn the intersection mask of image-text pair, allowing us to align intersection while preserving semantic of difference. In the second stage, the learned mask is further utilized to construct positive and hardnegative samples via masking different parts of image/text, which enable us to conduct self-supervised multimodal embedding learning. Complementing this framework, we present a new benchmark featuring high-quality human-verified positive and hard-negative pairs to evaluate symmetric MM2MM retrieval under realistic conditions, as well as the corresponding pipeline. Extensive experiments against ten SOTA methods show SOLAR surpasses the strongest supervised VLM by 7.08 points on this benchmark, with over 50x fewer model parameters and a 5x smaller embedding dimension. Code, model and benchmark are available at https://github.com/codefuse-ai/SOLAR.

ML-Embed: Inclusive and Efficient Embeddings for a Multilingual World

The development of high-quality text embeddings is increasingly drifting toward an exclusionary future, defined by three critical barriers: prohibitive computational costs, a narrow linguistic focus that neglects most of the world's languages, and a lack of transparency from closed-source or open-weight models that stifles research. To dismantle these barriers, we introduce ML-Embed, a suite of inclusive and efficient models built upon a new framework: 3-Dimensional Matryoshka Learning (3D-ML). Our framework addresses the computational challenge with comprehensive efficiency across the entire model lifecycle. Beyond the storage benefits of Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) and flexible inference-time depth provided by Matryoshka Layer Learning (MLL), we introduce Matryoshka Embedding Learning (MEL) for enhanced parameter efficiency. To address the linguistic challenge, we curate a massively multilingual dataset and train a suite of models ranging from 140M to 8B parameters. In a direct commitment to transparency, we release all models, data, and code. Extensive evaluation on 430 tasks demonstrates that our models set new records on 9 of 17 evaluated MTEB benchmarks, with particularly strong results in low-resource languages, providing a reproducible blueprint for building globally equitable and computationally efficient AI systems.

Explaining the "Why": A Unified Framework for the Additive Attribution of Changes in Arbitrary Measures

Explaining why aggregated measures change is a critical challenge in data analytics that existing systems struggle to address. While current attribution methods exist, they lack a unified solution that is simultaneously general for arbitrary measures, holistic across both data dimensions and measure composition, and rigorous in its interpretability. To bridge this gap, we introduce a principled framework that reframes attribution through the powerful lens of cooperative game theory. Our key contribution is a classification of measures based on their mathematical structure, which enables a spectrum of algorithms-from general approximations to exact, closed-form solutions-that offer a principled trade-off between generality and performance. We demonstrate our framework's superiority through a multi-faceted evaluation: simulations first confirm its numerical accuracy and then its generality for non-additive measures; a case study on Simpson's Paradox showcases its unique interpretability; and a final experiment proves its practical utility by significantly outperforming existing root cause analysis systems.

TingIS: Real-time Risk Event Discovery from Noisy Customer Incidents at Enterprise Scale

Real-time detection and mitigation of technical anomalies are critical for large-scale cloud-native services, where even minutes of downtime can result in massive financial losses and diminished user trust. While customer incidents serve as a vital signal for discovering risks missed by monitoring, extracting actionable intelligence from this data remains challenging due to extreme noise, high throughput, and semantic complexity of diverse business lines. In this paper, we present TingIS, an end-to-end system designed for enterprise-grade incident discovery. At the core of TingIS is a multi-stage event linking engine that synergizes efficient indexing techniques with Large Language Models (LLMs) to make informed decisions on event merging, enabling the stable extraction of actionable incidents from just a handful of diverse user descriptions. This engine is complemented by a cascaded routing mechanism for precise business attribution and a multi-dimensional noise reduction pipeline that integrates domain knowledge, statistical patterns, and behavioral filtering. Deployed in a production environment handling a peak throughput of over 2,000 messages per minute and 300,000 messages per day, TingIS achieves a P90 alert latency of 3.5 minutes and a 95\% discovery rate for high-priority incidents. Benchmarks constructed from real-world data demonstrate that TingIS significantly outperforms baseline methods in routing accuracy, clustering quality, and Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

QuitoBench: A High-Quality Open Time Series Forecasting Benchmark

Time series forecasting is critical across finance, healthcare, and cloud computing, yet progress is constrained by a fundamental bottleneck: the scarcity of large-scale, high-quality benchmarks. To address this gap, we introduce \textsc{QuitoBench}, a regime-balanced benchmark for time series forecasting with coverage across eight trend$\times$seasonality$\times$forecastability (TSF) regimes, designed to capture forecasting-relevant properties rather than application-defined domain labels. The benchmark is built upon \textsc{Quito}, a billion-scale time series corpus of application traffic from Alipay spanning nine business domains. Benchmarking 10 models from deep learning, foundation models, and statistical baselines across 232,200 evaluation instances, we report four key findings: (i) a context-length crossover where deep learning models lead at short context ($L=96$) but foundation models dominate at long context ($L \ge 576$); (ii) forecastability is the dominant difficulty driver, producing a $3.64 \times$ MAE gap across regimes; (iii) deep learning models match or surpass foundation models at $59 \times$ fewer parameters; and (iv) scaling the amount of training data provides substantially greater benefit than scaling model size for both model families. These findings are validated by strong cross-benchmark and cross-metric consistency. Our open-source release enables reproducible, regime-aware evaluation for time series forecasting research.

Weaver: Fuzzing JavaScript Engines at the JavaScript-WebAssembly Boundary

The security of modern JavaScript (JS) engines is critical since they provide the primary defense mechanism for executing untrusted code on the web. The recent integration of WebAssembly (Wasm) has transformed these engines into complex polyglot environments, creating a novel attack surface at the JS-Wasm interaction boundary due to the distinct type systems and memory models of two languages. This boundary remains largely underexplored, as previous works mainly focus on testing JS and Wasm as two isolated entities rather than investigating the security implications of their cross-language interactions. This paper proposes Weaver, an effective greybox fuzzing framework specifically tailored to uncover vulnerabilities at the JS-Wasm boundary. To comply with the language constraints, Weaver uses a type-aware generation strategy, meticulously maintaining the dual-type representation for every generated variables. This allows fuzzer to validly utilize variables across the language boundary. Besides, Weaver leverages the UCB-1 algorithm to intelligently schedule mutators and generators to maximize the discovery of new code paths. We have implemented and evaluated Weaver on three JS engines. The results indicate that Weaver achieves superior code coverage compared to state-of-the-art fuzzers. Moreover, Weaver has uncovered two new bugs in the latest versions of these engines, one of which is considered high severity and set to highest priority, demonstrating the practicality of Weaver.

F2LLM-v2: Inclusive, Performant, and Efficient Embeddings for a Multilingual World

We present F2LLM-v2, a new family of general-purpose, multilingual embedding models in 8 distinct sizes ranging from 80M to 14B. Trained on a newly curated composite of 60 million publicly available high-quality data samples, F2LLM-v2 supports more than 200 languages, with a particular emphasis on previously underserved mid- and low-resource languages. By integrating a two-stage LLM-based embedding training pipeline with matryoshka learning, model pruning, and knowledge distillation techniques, we present models that are far more efficient than previous LLM-based embedding models while retaining competitive performances. Extensive evaluations confirm that F2LLM-v2-14B ranks first on 11 MTEB benchmarks, while the smaller models in the family also set a new state of the art for resource-constrained applications. To facilitate open-source embedding model research, we release all models, data, code, and intermediate checkpoints.

LLM as Graph Kernel: Rethinking Message Passing on Text-Rich Graphs

Text-rich graphs, which integrate complex structural dependencies with abundant textual information, are ubiquitous yet remain challenging for existing learning paradigms. Conventional methods and even LLM-hybrids compress rich text into static embeddings or summaries before structural reasoning, creating an information bottleneck and detaching updates from the raw content. We argue that in text-rich graphs, the text is not merely a node attribute but the primary medium through which structural relationships are manifested. We introduce RAMP, a Raw-text Anchored Message Passing approach that moves beyond using LLMs as mere feature extractors and instead recasts the LLM itself as a graph-native aggregation operator. RAMP exploits the text-rich nature of the graph via a novel dual-representation scheme: it anchors inference on each node's raw text during each iteration while propagating dynamically optimized messages from neighbors. It further handles both discriminative and generative tasks under a single unified generative formulation. Extensive experiments show that RAMP effectively bridges the gap between graph propagation and deep text reasoning, achieving competitive performance and offering new insights into the role of LLMs as graph kernels for general-purpose graph learning.

SWE-Fuse: Empowering Software Agents via Issue-free Trajectory Learning and Entropy-aware RLVR Training

Large language models (LLMs) have transformed the software engineering landscape. Recently, numerous LLM-based agents have been developed to address real-world software issue fixing tasks. Despite their state-of-the-art performance, Despite achieving state-of-the-art performance, these agents face a significant challenge: \textbf{Insufficient high-quality issue descriptions.} Real-world datasets often exhibit misalignments between issue descriptions and their corresponding solutions, introducing noise and ambiguity that mislead automated agents and limit their problem-solving effectiveness. We propose \textbf{\textit{SWE-Fuse}}, an issue-description-aware training framework that fuses issue-description-guided and issue-free samples for training SWE agents. It consists of two key modules: (1) An issue-free-driven trajectory learning module for mitigating potentially misleading issue descriptions while enabling the model to learn step-by-step debugging processes; and (2) An entropy-aware RLVR training module, which adaptively adjusts training dynamics through entropy-driven clipping. It applies relaxed clipping under high entropy to encourage exploration, and stricter clipping under low entropy to ensure training stability. We evaluate SWE-Fuse on the widely studied SWE-bench Verified benchmark shows to demonstrate its effectiveness in solving real-world software problems. Specifically, SWE-Fuse outperforms the best 8B and 32B baselines by 43.0\% and 60.2\% in solve rate, respectively. Furthermore, integrating SWE-Fuse with test-time scaling (TTS) enables further performance improvements, achieving solve rates of 49.8\% and 65.2\% under TTS@8 for the 8B and 32B models, respectively.

OpAgent: Operator Agent for Web Navigation

To fulfill user instructions, autonomous web agents must contend with the inherent complexity and volatile nature of real-world websites. Conventional paradigms predominantly rely on Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) or Offline Reinforcement Learning (RL) using static datasets. However, these methods suffer from severe distributional shifts, as offline trajectories fail to capture the stochastic state transitions and real-time feedback of unconstrained wide web environments. In this paper, we propose a robust Online Reinforcement Learning WebAgent, designed to optimize its policy through direct, iterative interactions with unconstrained wide websites. Our approach comprises three core innovations: 1) Hierarchical Multi-Task Fine-tuning: We curate a comprehensive mixture of datasets categorized by functional primitives -- Planning, Acting, and Grounding -- establishing a Vision-Language Model (VLM) with strong instruction-following capabilities for Web GUI tasks. 2) Online Agentic RL in the Wild: We develop an online interaction environment and fine-tune the VLM using a specialized RL pipeline. We introduce a Hybrid Reward Mechanism that combines a ground-truth-agnostic WebJudge for holistic outcome assessment with a Rule-based Decision Tree (RDT) for progress reward. This system effectively mitigates the credit assignment challenge in long-horizon navigation. Notably, our RL-enhanced model achieves a 38.1\% success rate (pass@5) on WebArena, outperforming all existing monolithic baselines. 3) Operator Agent: We introduce a modular agentic framework, namely \textbf{OpAgent}, orchestrating a Planner, Grounder, Reflector, and Summarizer. This synergy enables robust error recovery and self-correction, elevating the agent's performance to a new State-of-the-Art (SOTA) success rate of \textbf{71.6\%}.

From One-to-One to Many-to-Many: Dynamic Cross-Layer Injection for Deep Vision-Language Fusion

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) create a severe visual feature bottleneck by using a crude, asymmetric connection that links only the output of the vision encoder to the input of the large language model (LLM). This static architecture fundamentally limits the ability of LLMs to achieve comprehensive alignment with hierarchical visual knowledge, compromising their capacity to accurately integrate local details with global semantics into coherent reasoning. To resolve this, we introduce Cross-Layer Injection (CLI), a novel and lightweight framework that forges a dynamic many-to-many bridge between the two modalities. CLI consists of two synergistic, parameter-efficient components: an Adaptive Multi-Projection (AMP) module that harmonizes features from diverse vision layers, and an Adaptive Gating Fusion (AGF) mechanism that empowers the LLM to selectively inject the most relevant visual information based on its real-time decoding context. We validate the effectiveness and versatility of CLI by integrating it into LLaVA-OneVision and LLaVA-1.5. Extensive experiments on 18 diverse benchmarks demonstrate significant performance improvements, establishing CLI as a scalable paradigm that unlocks deeper multimodal understanding by granting LLMs on-demand access to the full visual hierarchy.

C2LLM Technical Report: A New Frontier in Code Retrieval via Adaptive Cross-Attention Pooling

We present C2LLM - Contrastive Code Large Language Models, a family of code embedding models in both 0.5B and 7B sizes. Building upon Qwen-2.5-Coder backbones, C2LLM adopts a Pooling by Multihead Attention (PMA) module for generating sequence embedding from token embeddings, effectively 1) utilizing the LLM's causal representations acquired during pretraining, while also 2) being able to aggregate information from all tokens in the sequence, breaking the information bottleneck in EOS-based sequence embeddings, and 3) supporting flexible adaptation of embedding dimension, serving as an alternative to MRL. Trained on three million publicly available data, C2LLM models set new records on MTEB-Code among models of similar sizes, with C2LLM-7B ranking 1st on the overall leaderboard.

CodeFuse-CommitEval: Towards Benchmarking LLM's Power on Commit Message and Code Change Inconsistency Detection

Version control relies on commit messages to convey the rationale for code changes, but these messages are often low quality and, more critically, inconsistent with their diffs-known as message-code inconsistency (MCI). MCIs mislead reviewers, hinder maintenance, contaminate research datasets, and may obscure security patches. Yet, no dedicated benchmark exists to evaluate models for MCI detection. We introduce CODEFUSE-COMMITEVAL, the first benchmark designed for MCI detection using large language models (LLMs). Built on the ApacheCM dataset for diversity and quality, we generate seven types of inconsistent messages through rule-guided mutations of originally consistent commits and apply two-fold validation to verify both positive and negative samples. Using this labeled dataset of message-diff pairs, we evaluate six state-of-the-art open-source LLMs under a vanilla setting and with three augmentation strategies: few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought, and extended context. Results show models detect inconsistent commits more reliably than consistent ones (average Recall 85.95%, Precision 80.28%, Specificity 63.8%); gpt-oss-20B performs best overall but uses over twice the tokens of others. Augmentation effects vary: adjacent context helps larger models but adds noise for smaller ones; few-shot improves accuracy and reduces token use, yet increases universally incorrect predictions; chain-of-thought boosts precision and specificity at the cost of recall and higher token consumption. Type-wise analysis reveals higher detectability for component, file-path, and operation inconsistencies, but lower accuracy and higher token cost for intent-level "purpose" inconsistencies. CODEFUSE-COMMITEVAL provides a rigorous foundation for measuring, comparing, and advancing MCI detection, highlighting the need for richer context and balanced data to capture high-level semantic gaps.
