GigaWorld-1: A Roadmap to Build World Models for Robot Policy Evaluation
HF ★ 16 · GigaWorld Team, Angyuan Ma, Boyuan Wang… · HF Mirror
To address the core bottleneck that evaluating foundational models for embodied robots requires costly real-world deployment, this research builds the WMBench benchmark covering multiple manipulation tasks. It tests various world models with over 12,000 hours of training data and CVPR challenge submissions, drawing three key conclusions including that the core of evaluation relies on long-sequence action consistency. Based on these findings, the GigaWorld-1 world model dedicated to policy evaluation is launched, with all related resources fully open-sourced.
ResearchStudio-Reel: Automate the Last Mile of Research from Paper to Poster, Video, and Blog
HF ★ 14 · Lingao Xiao, Yalun Dai, Yangyu Huang… · HF Mirror
To solve the pain points that the “last mile” of converting academic papers to posters, presentation videos and blogs relies on manual work, and existing automated solutions process modules independently, output non-editable results and have unstable quality, Microsoft launches ResearchStudio-Reel: it uniformly extracts paper content, generates three types of editable and compliant finished products, and adds an interactive layer to link the three. Its generated posters outperform baselines in 84%-93% of evaluation cases, making it the only pipeline currently available that can output three types of editable results simultaneously.
ResearchStudio-Idea: An Evidence-Grounded Research-Ideation Skill Suite from ML Conference Outcomes
HF ★ 14 · Qihao Zhao, Yangyu Huang, Yalun Dai… · HF Mirror
To address the pain point that LLM-assisted research topic selection can only generate candidate directions and lacks rigorous demonstration, this paper launches the ResearchStudio-Idea topic selection toolset, which includes three modules: multi-source literature retrieval, duplicate check of existing work, and end-to-end topic generation. The latter is built based on 15 reusable topic selection paradigms extracted from nearly 2,000 papers from three top ML conferences between 2021 and 2025. Blind tests show that the quality of topics it generates is better than the baseline, while maintaining competitive innovativeness.
Wan-Streamer v0.2: Higher Resolution, Same Latency
HF ★ 9 · Lianghua Huang, Zhi-Fan Wu, Yupeng Shi… · HF Mirror
Wan-Streamer v0.2 is a low-latency upgraded version of the end-to-end audio-video interaction model. While retaining the original modeling logic, its output resolution is increased from 192×336 to 640×368, with model-side latency at 25fps remaining around 200ms, and total latency including network transmission at about 550ms. It can clearly present details such as character postures and surrounding objects in interaction scenarios, supporting medium-shot agent interactions. It adopts split computing scheduling: a single GPU runs the low-latency perception and cache module, and multiple GPUs complete high-resolution video generation through Ulysses context parallelism, avoiding additional communication overhead.
Safety Testing LLM Agents at Scale: From Risk Discovery to Evidence-Grounded Verification
HF ★ 1 · Yunhao Feng, Ruixiao Lin, Ming Wen… · HF Mirror
To address the pain point that existing LLM agent safety testing relies on expert preset rules and has poor adaptability, this research proposes the automated testing framework Vera, which carries out large-scale testing through a three-stage pipeline: risk system construction, executable test case generation, and sandbox adaptive evidence verification. Actual tests show a 93.9% attack success rate on 4 mainstream production-grade agents, and the Vera-Bench test benchmark covering 1,600 test cases for 124 risk categories is also open-sourced.
OpenAI
How ChatGPT adoption has expanded
OpenAI
This study is based on the latest Signals dataset released by OpenAI, analyzing the global adoption and diffusion characteristics of ChatGPT. The results show that the global popularity of ChatGPT is continuing to rise: user usage frequency is increasing, and users are actively exploring more scenario-based capabilities of the tool. This application trend has also driven user scale growth in different regions and multilingual markets, providing empirical reference for the commercial implementation of consumer-facing LLMs.
Core dump epidemiology: fixing an 18-year-old bug
OpenAI
OpenAI engineers propose the core dump epidemiological analysis method. Through batch investigation and analysis of large-scale core dump data, they solved the long-standing hard-to-locate rare occasional infrastructure crash problem: not only locating hardware-level failures, but also digging out an 18-year-old legacy software bug. This method breaks through the bottleneck of conventional debugging in troubleshooting low-reproducibility, hidden failures, providing an efficient new path for infrastructure operation and maintenance.

After Orthogonality: Virtue-Ethical Agency and AI Alignment
The Gradient
This paper studies AI alignment issues from the perspective of virtue-ethical agency, reflects on the Orthogonality Thesis, refutes the presupposition that “rational agents need to be guided by fixed ultimate goals”, points out that human rationality is embodied in the practical network where actions match inherent norms and evaluation systems, and advocates that AI decision-making logic should be isomorphic to this set of human practical logic. This path not only adapts to ethical alignment requirements such as human well-being, but also guarantees core security attributes.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement
Lilian Weng
This paper sorts out the conceptual evolution of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI): this direction originated from the “ultraintelligent machine” concept proposed by scholar Irving John Good in 1965, and in 2008 Eliezer Yudkowsky defined its core as the feedback mechanism where AI relies on existing intelligence to iteratively upgrade its own cognitive architecture. In the current AI context, RSI implementation is divided into two paths: one is the model directly rewriting its own weights, and the other is optimizing its own training process in a broad sense.

Catching Up | WAIC 2026 Scientific Intelligence: AI4S Moves from “Assisted Computing” to “Independent Discovery”, How Will China Reshape the Global Scientific Research Landscape?
QbitAI
AI4S is one of the three core AI directions at present, with a long-term market size of hundreds of billions of dollars. It is transitioning from assisted computing to independent scientific discovery, but faces three major bottlenecks: fragmented computing power, data silos, and insufficient adaptation to scientific research processes. The scientific intelligence section of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference will provide implementation paths from three dimensions: scientific research paradigm innovation, platform construction, and industrial empowerment, while gathering top scholars to discuss collaborative development solutions for technology, security and ethics.
Catching Up | WAIC 2026 Theoretical Breakthrough: Taking Two-Way Empowerment of Mathematics and Intelligence as the Key to Open a New Journey of AI Paradigm Innovation
QbitAI
The logic of “two-way empowerment of mathematics and intelligence” proposed by Shing-Tung Yau has been verified by the international academic community. The current extensive development model of AI relying on parameter stacking and overconsuming computing power has reached the theoretical ceiling, with the root cause being the lack of an underlying mathematical and logical system. The upcoming WAIC 2026 takes basic theoretical innovation as the core, sets up three main lines and high-end academic sections, to promote domestic AI to shift from engineering iteration to a new stage of coordinated development of theory and industry.
A Piece of “Consciousness” Has Also Grown in Claude’s “Brain”
QbitAI
Referring to the Global Workspace Theory in neuroscience, Anthropic developed the Jacobian lens tool to analyze the internal structure of Claude, and discovered the “J-space” functional partition that accounts for less than one-tenth of the computing workload, which corresponds to human conscious thinking. After deleting this partition, Claude’s basic response function remains normal, but complex capabilities such as multi-step reasoning and summarization drop sharply to the level of small models, confirming that large models have developed human-brain-like functional stratification, which is regarded by netizens as the prototype of digital life.
