How to Train a Real-World Silicon Concierge? Internalizing Complex Business Workflow to Only OneModel

Traditional industrial agents rely on modular pipelines, including Router, Retriever, Planner, Executor, Responder, Reviewer, and other components. These systems often fracture into a labyrinth of ad-hoc patches, leading to cascading errors and high latency. We propose OneModel, an applicable paradigm shift from external workflows to internalized knowledge representation. Unlike modular systems that slice fluid user intents into static steps, OneModel consolidates complex business logic and SOPs directly into the model parameters. Through Continual Pre-training (CPT) and logic-compilation SFT, we transform fragmented business rules into intuitive model reasoning within a unified attention space. Deployed in our global financial service system, OneModel effectively breaks the trade-off between latency, accuracy, and complexity. Online A/B testing demonstrates an end-to-end latency reduction of more than 50 percent, from 18.7 seconds to 8.0 seconds, while the Intelligent Resolution Rate (IRR) increases from 64.3 percent to 83.3 percent. The results show that OneModel can replace brittle engineering logic with internalized cognitive intuition, offering a scalable blueprint for transitioning industrial agents from complex, error-prone workflows to unified model architectures.

Unidirectional zero-index and omnidirectional hybrid hydrodynamic cloaks constructed from isotropic media with anisotropic geometry

Hydrodynamic cloaking offers a promising approach for manipulating viscous flows by redirecting fluid around an obstacle without inducing external disturbances. By extending pseudo-conformal mappings into potential flow models, we introduce a new isobaric boundary condition that enables the construction of zero-index cloaks using isotropic and homogeneous media shaped into anisotropic geometries, such as elliptical shells. Compared to conventional cloaks, which suffer performance degradation under realistic viscous conditions, the zero-index design significantly reduces such losses by suppressing flow disturbances at the inner boundary. To overcome practical limitations in realizing ideal isobaric conditions, we further propose a hybrid cloak that integrates a raised fluid domain with an auxiliary flow channel above the obstacle. This architecture removes the need for viscosity tuning and, under anisotropic geometries, surpasses both conventional and zero-index cloaks in omnidirectional performance. The design is validated through simulations and experiments. Our findings offer a generalizable strategy for controlling viscous flows and open new directions for microfluidic applications including drug delivery, particle steering, and cell sorting.

A New Multiple Correlation Coefficient without Specifying the Dependent Variable

Multiple correlation is a fundamental concept with broad applications. The classical multiple correlation coefficient is developed to assess how strongly a dependent variable is associated with a linear combination of independent variables. To compute this coefficient, the dependent variable must be chosen in advance. In many applications, however, it is difficult and even infeasible to specify the dependent variable, especially when some variables of interest are equally important. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a new coefficient of multiple correlation which (a) does not require the specification of the dependent variable, (b) has a simple formula and shares connections with the classical correlation coefficients, (c) consistently measures the linear correlation between continuous variables, which is 0 if and only if variables are uncorrelated and 1 if and only if one variable is a linear function of others, and (d) has an asymptotic distribution which can be used for hypothesis testing. We study the asymptotic behavior of the sample coefficient under mild regularity conditions. Given that the asymptotic bias of the sample coefficient is not negligible when the data dimension and the sample size are comparable, we propose a bias-corrected estimator that consistently performs well in such cases. Moreover, we develop an efficient strategy for making inferences on multiple correlation based on either the limiting distribution or the resampling methods and the stochastic approximation Monte Carlo algorithm, depending on whether the regularity assumptions are valid or not. Theoretical and numerical studies demonstrate that our coefficient provides a useful tool for evaluating multiple correlation in practice.

Invisible Hydrodynamic Tweezers Based on Near-Zero Index Materials

Manipulating particles, such as cells and tissues, in a flowing liquid environment is crucial for life science research. Traditional contactless tweezers, although widely used for single-cell manipulation, face several challenges. These include potential damage to the target, restriction to static environments, complex excitation setups, and interference outside the target area. To address these issues, we propose an ``invisible hydrodynamic tweezer'' utilizing near-zero index hydrodynamic metamaterials. This metamaterial-based device creates an equipotential resistance zone, effectively immobilizing particles in flowing fluids without disturbing the external flow field and without causing damage to the targets. Unlike traditional active control methods, our tweezer passively captures and releases particles by adjusting the flow channel, eliminating the need for continuous and stable excitation devices, thereby significantly simplifying the setup complexity. Furthermore, these tweezers can be modularly designed in different sizes to flexibly accommodate various application needs. Simulations and experimental validations demonstrated the non-interfering, stable trapping, and precise movement capabilities of these tweezers. This proposed technique holds significant potential for applications in biomedicine, microfluidics, and environmental monitoring.

Free-form intelligent hydrodynamic metamaterials enabled by extreme anisotropy

Intelligent metamaterials have attracted widespread research interest due to their self-adaptive capabilities and controllability. They hold great potential for advancing fluid control by providing responsive and flexible solutions. However, current designs of passive hydrodynamic metamaterials are limited by their fixed shapes and specific environments, lacking environmental adaptability. These two constraints hinder the broader application of hydrodynamic metamaterials. In this work, we propose a design for passive intelligent metashells that utilize extremely anisotropic parameters to endow hydrodynamic metamaterials with self-adaptive abilities and free-form shapes. Achieving the required anisotropic parameters is challenging, but we ingeniously accomplished this by creating isobaric conditions through increasing the water height in the shell region. We validated the design through finite-element simulations. This approach overcomes the limitations of existing passive hydrodynamic metamaterials, enhancing their intelligent behavior. Our model improves the flexibility and robustness of hydrodynamic metamaterials in complex and dynamic environments, providing insights for future designs and practical applications

Reconfigurable, zero-energy, and wide-temperature loss-assisted thermal nonreciprocal metamaterials

Thermal nonreciprocity plays a vital role in chip heat dissipation, energy-saving design, and high-temperature hyperthermia, typically realized through the use of advanced metamaterials with nonlinear, advective, spatiotemporal, or gradient properties. However, challenges such as fixed structural designs with limited adjustability, high energy consumption, and a narrow operational temperature range remain prevalent. Here, a systematic framework is introduced to achieve reconfigurable, zero-energy, and wide-temperature thermal nonreciprocity by transforming wasteful heat loss into a valuable regulatory tool. Vertical slabs composed of natural bulk materials enable asymmetric heat loss through natural convection, disrupting the inversion symmetry of thermal conduction. The reconfigurability of this system stems from the ability to modify heat loss by adjusting thermal conductivity, size, placement, and quantity of the slabs. Moreover, this structure allows for precise control of zero-energy thermal nonreciprocity across a broad temperature spectrum, utilizing solely environmental temperature gradients without additional energy consumption. This research presents a different approach to achieving nonreciprocity, broadening the potential for nonreciprocal devices such as thermal diodes and topological edge states, and inspiring further exploration of nonreciprocity in other loss-based systems.

Reconfigurable Three-Dimensional Thermal Dome

Thermal metamaterial represents a groundbreaking approach to control heat conduction, and, as a crucial component, thermal invisibility is of utmost importance for heat management. Despite the flourishing development of thermal invisibility schemes, they still face two limitations in practical applications. First, objects are typically completely enclosed in traditional cloaks, making them difficult to use and unsuitable for objects with heat sources. Second, although some theoretical proposals have been put forth to change the thermal conductivity of materials to achieve dynamic invisibility, their designs are complex and rigid, making them unsuitable for large-scale use in real three-dimensional spaces. Here, we propose a concept of a thermal dome to achieve three-dimensional invisibility. Our scheme includes an open functional area, greatly enhancing its usability and applicability. It features a reconfigurable structure, constructed with simple isotropic natural materials, making it suitable for dynamic requirements. The performance of our reconfigurable thermal dome has been confirmed through simulations and experiments, consistent with the theory. The introduction of this concept can greatly advance the development of thermal invisibility technology from theory to engineering and provide inspiration for other physical domains, such as direct current electric fields and magnetic fields.
