NCP-ArchPreview Technical Report: Moving towards Latent Space Language Models through Next Concept Prediction

HF ★ 40 · NCP Team, Jiaqi Cao, Chiyu Chen… · HF Mirror

This paper proposes the NCP-ArchPreview latent space language model, which adds a next-concept prediction objective in addition to the conventional next-token prediction task, constructs a product quantization concept vocabulary from model hidden states, and performs end-to-end joint training with the two objectives. Its 8.9B parameter version matches the pretraining loss of OLMo-3-7B using only 51.3% of the training tokens, outperforms the baseline by an average of 2.45 points on downstream tasks after full training, and also delivers significant improvements in domain adaptation and inference efficiency.

HF ★ 19 · Soohyun Ryu, Sohee Kim, Eunho Yang · HF Mirror

To address the pain points of large vision language models (LVLM) having weak spatial reasoning capabilities, and existing spatial annotation datasets being costly and noisy, this study draws on human cognitive rules to build the SpatialBlock-15k dataset containing 15,000 synthetic block-stacking tasks, covering multiple core spatial reasoning scenarios and setting color anchors to assist reasoning. Experiments show that LVLMs trained on this dataset significantly outperform baselines in spatial performance and can generalize to real-world spatial tasks.

SenseNova-U1.5: Towards Native Unified Visual Intelligence

HF ★ 4 · Haiwen Diao, Jiahao Wang, Chenjing Ding… · HF Mirror

SenseTime launches SenseNova-U1.5, an 8B parameter native unified multimodal model with MoT architecture, adopting an encoder-free and VAE-free design, strengthening the visual interface through spatial coherent block reconstruction, supporting up to 4K resolution during training, and integrating capabilities such as aesthetic optimization and bilingual text rendering through multi-expert same-strategy distillation during post-training. Tests show that its generation and editing performance has been comprehensively improved, it can generalize to complex structured visual instructions, verifying the feasibility of the native unified modeling path, and the relevant training code will be open-sourced.

CARDEA: Auditable Reasoning Grounded in Spatial Evidence for End-to-End Coronary Angiography Interpretation

HF ★ 2 · Jia-Jen Lee, Shih-Yen Hou, Kee Koon Ng… · HF Mirror

To address the problems of poor traceability and insufficient comprehensive evaluation capability of existing AI for coronary angiography interpretation, the study proposes CARDEA, a multi-stage trained large vision language model, trained based on spatial evidence reasoning chains and verifiable reinforcement learning, which can complete end-to-end angiography interpretation with auditable decisions. Its classification accuracy under distribution shift is 0.91, its complexity assessment is comparable to that of interventional physicians, and its zero-shot report generation performance is more than 30% higher than the baseline.

Recursive Code World Models: Building Complex Worlds through Recursive Scene Programs

HF ★ 1 · Zhiqi Li, Yuxuan Liao, Bo Zhu · HF Mirror

To address the pain point that code world models have difficulty constructing complex 3D scenes, this paper proposes the RCWM (Recursive Code World Model) framework, which can reconstruct executable 3D scenes in code form based on a single reference image. It couples recursive scene program representation with a self-calling solver, combines global-local-global recursive logic with multimodal encoding agent guidance for optimization, outperforms existing similar methods, and deepening the recursion level can further improve the detail reconstruction effect.

AhaBench: Do Agents Learn from Prior Experience? A Benchmark for Long-Horizon Continual Learning

Zerui Cheng, Jiawei Xu, Huacan Chai…

This paper launches AhaBench, a test benchmark for agent long-sequence continual learning, setting three types of tasks: unprompted puzzle exploration, mathematical knowledge transfer, and delayed feedback from simulated vending machines, adopting a three-dimensional scoring system of initial ability, post-experience performance, and learning improvement difference. Tests found that the three types of excellent models that are good at using prompts, have high post-experience scores, and have large learning improvement ranges do not overlap. Claude Opus 4.6 leads in two core indicators, and the relevant benchmark resources have been open-sourced.

When Do Options Help? Policy Necrosis and Redundant Coverage in Option-Critic

Bingyun Liu, Yuheng Jing

Through theoretical and experimental verification, this paper dismantles the cause of the classic conclusion of the Option-Critic framework that “adding options improves efficiency”: first, the native termination rule has no actual gain, but may hinder exploration and increase regret; second, insufficient exploration within options leads to “policy necrosis”, where more than 60% of states are frozen in typical scenarios, and a single option can complete the task after exploration is supplemented; third, the efficiency improvement from adding options essentially reduces the probability of collective failure of multiple options in the same state.

Multi-granularity Adaptive Hypergraph Representation Learning via Granular-ball

Sen Zhao, Yifan Guan, Jinyuan Ni…

Aiming at the problem that existing hypergraph representation learning mostly relies on predefined hyperedges, ignores the diversity of graph topology and the multi-granularity characteristics of hyperedges, and has limited high-order relation mining capabilities, this paper proposes the MGHRL framework: it generates multi-granularity hyperedges through adaptive splitting of granular balls, matches multi-subnet multi-granularity hypergraph networks, and fuses multi-granularity features using hierarchical reversible connections. Experiments show that its performance on benchmark datasets is significantly better than baseline models.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement

Lilian Weng

This paper sorts out the conceptual context of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI): In 1965, I.J. Good first proposed the idea of a superintelligent machine, that is, a system that can surpass all human intellectual activities and design better machines to complete iterations by itself; in 2008, Eliezer Yudkowsky clarified that the core of RSI is the feedback loop where AI optimizes its own cognitive architecture relying on existing intelligence. Current RSI in the AI field can be manifested as the model directly rewriting its own weights, or generalized as optimizing its own training process.

OpenAI is using Millennium Prize Problems as Benchmarks to brush up performance…

Qbitai

Recently, The New York Times disclosed new details of the controversy over OpenAI’s Navier-Stokes equation research: OpenAI explicitly stated that relevant user prompts did not affect its internal model, but there is no public material available for independent verification. At the same time, OpenAI revealed that it has made substantial progress on the Hodge conjecture, one of the Millennium Prize Problems, and is waiting to announce it. The previous threat dispute between the two sides is still deadlocked as there is no key call record.
