RULER: Instance-aware Rubric Rewards for SVG Generation

HF ★ 29 · Hangyu Ran, Yuhao Zheng, Yingying Zhang… · HF Mirror

To address the lack of reliable evaluation and optimization signals for text-to-SVG tasks, as well as poor adaptability of existing scalar metrics that easily trigger reward hacking, this paper proposes the RULER framework: it generates 6-dimensional instance-aware scoring rules covering semantics, vision, and style based on input text, with VLM scoring each item as fine-grained reward for optimization, no paired ground truth or manual annotation required. Scores on two SVG datasets are significantly improved, outperforming dedicated models and matching the performance of DeepSeek-V3.

HF ★ 14 · Xiaoqiang Wang, Mengyang Xiong, Jun Dai… · HF Mirror

To solve the problem of excessive computing overhead when integrating quantum circuits into LLMs, this research proposes the HyperQ solution: it adds a token-level quantum residual branch to the frozen masked diffusion language model, generates exclusive quantum parameters using a lightweight circuit hypernetwork, and reduces computing costs with classical exact expressions. Experiments show that 64-bit HyperQ outperforms the baseline by 4.71 points, and outperforms classical adaptation solutions with only 1/10 of the fine-tuning data, verifying a feasible path for quantum-enhanced language modeling.

GAE: Learning a Geometry-Native Latent Space for 3D-Consistent World Generation

HF ★ 14 · Jiahao Lu, Minghao Yin, Wenbo Hu… · HF Mirror

To address the pain point of poor 3D scene consistency in existing visual generators, this paper proposes the geometry-native autoencoder GAE, which reparameterizes geometric foundation model features into a compact geometry-native latent space that can decode appearance, depth and other information, and can complete multiple generation tasks when paired with standard conditional flows. Experiments show that its FVD is reduced by up to 23.1%, camera trajectory error is halved, it balances visual quality and 3D consistency, and can also be used as a shared interface for perception and generation.

From Pattern Recognizers to Personalized Companions: A Survey of Large Language Models in Mental Health

HF ★ 9 · He Hu, Yucheng Zhou, Qianning Wang… · HF Mirror

Traditional mental health services face pain points such as insufficient resources, high cost, stigma and privacy concerns, and LLMs are regarded as an important technology to improve the accessibility of mental health services, but related research is scattered and unsystematic. This survey divides the development of this field into three stages: pattern recognition tools for assessment, stateless empathetic interlocutors, and stateful longitudinal personalized companion agents. It systematically sorts out related technologies, datasets and benchmarks, clarifies a responsible, human-oriented future innovation path, and relevant resources have been open-sourced.

Flash-dLLM: IO-Aware KV Caching and Parallel Decoding for Fast, Memory-Efficient Diffusion LLMs

HF ★ 9 · Quan Nguyen-Tri, Mukul Ranjan, Zhiqiang Shen · HF Mirror

To address the problem that existing acceleration solutions for diffusion LLMs (dLLM) separate KV caching and parallel decoding, leading to prominent GPU memory access bottlenecks when used together, this paper proposes the training-free inference framework Flash-dLLM: it adopts an IO-aware fused KV cache kernel to reduce redundant memory access, and designs a cache-driven self-draft verification decoding strategy without auxiliary models. Actual measurements show that it is up to 11 times faster than the existing SOTA on mathematical reasoning and code generation tasks, with better memory efficiency and no generation quality loss.

PRQuant: Permutation Residual Quantization for Low-Overhead Inference

Peiran Wang, Anqi Wang, Jiaying Zhao…

To address the problem that low-bit quantization of linear layers is disturbed by outliers, and existing solutions are prone to accuracy loss or high extra inference overhead, this paper proposes the training-free PRQuant quantization framework: it combines channel rearrangement and static weight residual compensation, arranges channels with large error contributions into continuous tail blocks, and can be converted to conventional enhanced matrix multiplication during inference, eliminating dynamic collection overhead and reducing latency. Experiments show that its accuracy is better than PTQ baselines such as MXFP4, with a maximum improvement of 1.24 on Qwen3 series models.

Generalized Multimodal Foundation Model

Huizi Cui, Zongbo Han, Chenggong Ding…

To address the pain point that existing multimodal fusion models can only handle predefined modalities and single tasks, and are difficult to quickly adapt to new downstream applications, this paper proposes a generalized multimodal foundation model: it is trained on a large-scale synthetic multimodal dataset with diverse causal structures, learns transferable modality association rules, and activates corresponding associations through in-context examples during inference. Verified on 18 real datasets covering 12 modalities and 11 types of tasks, it can achieve performance comparable to dedicated models without special adaptation.

Correcting Learning-based Perception for Safety

Yan Miao, Hussein Darir, Sayan Mitra

To address the problem that ML perception in autonomous driving has blurred boundaries, which easily leads to unsafe control or over-conservatism, this paper proposes a two-step correction scheme: offline, the uncertainty of ML state estimation is characterized through the preimage of the perception contract, and at runtime, a risk heuristic is used to select values from uncertain estimates to support control decisions. In actual measurement of visual adaptive cruise scenarios, 73% of the 45 failure scenarios of the original system are safe after correction, with only an average 2.8% increase in task time, and the remaining 27% failures are caused by inconsistent preimage construction.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement

Lilian Weng

Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) is originally derived from the “ultraintelligent machine” concept proposed by I.J. Good in 1965, referring to an intelligent mechanism that can surpass all human intellectual activities and independently design better systems to achieve self-iteration. In 2008, Yudkowsky clarified that its core is the feedback loop where AI optimizes its own cognitive architecture based on existing intelligence. In the current AI context, this mechanism can be manifested as directly rewriting its own weights, or optimizing the training pipeline in a broad sense.

QbitAI

Lu Chuan’s team completed the restoration of a Ming Dynasty disaster scene in only 5 days relying on Alibaba’s multimodal AI, while traditional film and television production of similar content takes months of construction and tens of millions of RMB of investment. Alibaba’s video generation model has a complex scene restoration accuracy of 95%, and has been deeply integrated into the entire film and television creation chain. At the recent Cloud Computing Conference, Alibaba Cloud announced its full LLM layout, the Qwen series iteration is accelerated, with the maximum parameter scale targeting 5-10 trillion, covering multimodal generation capabilities.

In the Agent era, the value of CPUs should be revalued

QbitAI

Intel proposed at its Suzhou Technology Conference that the value of CPUs in the Agent era needs to be revalued: the current AI computing power ratio has changed from the original 1 CPU with 4 GPUs to 1:1. A large number of tasks when agents execute tasks, such as multi-format data preprocessing, task decomposition and scheduling, and tool call connection, are more suitable for CPUs, and their weight in AI systems has increased significantly. Intel’s 12% surge in stock price also confirms the market’s recognition of this trend.
