GRACE: Generation-aware latent compression for efficient video generation
HF ★ 50 · Jiyoung Kim, Paul Hyunbin Cho, Jisu Nam… · HF Mirror
To address pain points such as reduced reconstruction quality, slow DiT convergence, and poor compatibility when adapting compressed video autoencoders to pre-trained video diffusion models, this paper proposes the GRACE two-stage compression framework: it retains and freezes the basic latent features of the pre-trained encoder, learns residuals to compensate for compression loss information, aligns the DiT feature space, and is supplemented by lightweight fine-tuning + asymmetric denoising to adapt to DiT. Tests show that it reduces the token count of the Wan2.1-I2V-14B model by 8 times and inference latency by 11.1 times, while generation quality remains consistent with the original pre-trained pipeline.
Long-WAM: Scaling the Context of World-Action Models
HF ★ 50 · Wei Huang, Bohan Zhang, Chenzhi Liu… · HF Mirror
To address the pain point that real-time robot control requires long visual context but is prone to latency, this paper proposes the Long-WAM framework, which uses an autoregressive pre-trained video base model, learns causal prediction without labels, and retains temporal structure during adaptation. Experiments show that its 19.2-second context improves the success rate of RoboCasa tasks by more than 15 percentage points, achieving SOTA on multiple benchmarks. It takes only 107.4ms per step on RTX5090, with a dynamic cup stacking success rate of 95% far outperforming comparison models, and can be adapted to high-level planning.
Questioning the Questions: Sustaining Self-Evolution in Reasoning Models
HF ★ 49 · Jinyuan Li, Chengsong Huang, Langlin Huang… · HF Mirror
Aiming at the problem that self-evolving reasoning models are prone to performance collapse after repeated self-training, the study identifies the core causes as two types of defects in self-generated questions: invalid questions, and repeated questions with different expressions but mathematically equivalent. Based on this, the R-Quest framework is proposed, which guides generation through two-way feedback of validity and novelty, paired with a frozen base model to identify duplicates. Experiments show that it performs best on 12 types of benchmark tasks, achieves stable improvement after 10 rounds of self-evolution, and outperforms the baseline by 17.32 points.
nanoMuse: An Open-Source Personal Agent for Every Device You Own
HF ★ 44 · Guangyi Liu, Yong Liu, Jiangning Zhang · HF Mirror
In response to the lack of an open-source alternative to the cloud-based closed-source cross-device long-term memory personal agent Muse launched by Meta in 2026, this study first disassembles the technical architecture of Muse based on public information, and then releases the open-source solution nanoMuse under the GPL-3.0 license: it supports multiple devices sharing the same session, users can independently select models, view traceable memories, and all operations are auditable. It also provides cost estimation and a follow-up optimization roadmap.
STEPQuant: When and Where Errors Matter in Delta-Rule Recurrent State Quantization
HF ★ 38 · Bingchen Yao, Haobo Xu, Haokun Lin… · HF Mirror
To address the problem that low-precision quantization of linear attention recurrent states is prone to significant accuracy degradation due to error propagation, this paper proposes the spatiotemporal post-training quantization framework STEPQuant, which allocates precision according to error magnitude and memory lifecycle, and adapts scaling parameters in combination with the influence of state distribution and key rows on output. Experiments show that its 6-bit precision is aligned with FP32, and 4-bit performance is better than uniform INT8. After integrated deployment, recurrent state compression exceeds 5 times, and service memory is reduced by up to 68.7%.

A Bayesian Mirror Architecture for Emergent Consciousness: Circular Hierarchies, Self-Manifolds, and Hybrid Event-Self Binding
Eduardo Righi Capanema de Almeida
This paper proposes the Bayesian Mirror Architecture (BMA), a self-referential generation framework whose core is the circular recursion of event-self mixed latent variables, which binds self-representation and world model and then injects self-state back. The study points out that limited consciousness is an inherent property of this type of cyclic structure. It uses Wasserstein metric to characterize belief stability, defines a causal learning mechanism to diagnose learnable causal structures in the environment, and training via variational free energy minimization can emerge system stability and agency.
Beyond Baseline Severity: Temporal and Disease-Specific Predictors of Depression Outcomes Following Mindfulness Interventions
Muhammad Jawad Chowdhury, Sultanus Salehin, Akib Jayed Islam
This study uses interpretable machine learning to analyze a multi-center longitudinal clinical cohort to predict depression scores at 12 and 24 weeks after mindfulness interventions. It includes multiple types of features, uses model random imputation to handle missing values, and compares 5 regression models to obtain the optimal prediction scheme. The study found that in addition to baseline severity, short-term prognosis is associated with clinical and hospital factors, while long-term prognosis is more dependent on intervention adherence and demographic characteristics. Predictors vary significantly across different disease types, which can support the design of personalized psychological interventions.
Transferability and operational reliability of a Prithvi crop classification foundation model under phenological and geographic shift across three continents
Venkatesh Kolluru, Rajat Shinde, Abdelhak Marouane…
In response to the lack of systematic verification of the cross-distribution performance of pre-trained geospatial foundation models, this paper tests the performance of the Prithvi-EO-2.0 crop classification model in 37 scenarios across 12 countries on three continents, and finds that the main reason for cross-continental accuracy reduction is the mismatch between the observation window and local crop phenology, rather than insufficient spatial transfer ability. Without retraining, merging easily confused categories and selecting a 45-90 day observation window (75 days is optimal) can effectively improve accuracy. The study also provides practical deployment guidelines.

One Model Family, Two Gold-Level Results: Fine-Tuning Nemotron for IOI and IMO
Hugging Face
This paper focuses on two top hardcore reasoning benchmarks, the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), and carries out special fine-tuning optimization on the Nemotron large model family, finally achieving gold medalist-level performance on both tasks. This result proves that the same series of models can simultaneously break through the bottlenecks of the two high-difficulty reasoning tracks of code and mathematics after adaptive fine-tuning, providing a reference for the research and development of general reasoning models.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement
Lilian Weng
This paper focuses on the engineering implementation research of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI): the concept of RSI first originated from the hypothetical superintelligent machine proposed by I.J. Good in 1965, and in 2008 Eliezer Yudkowsky clarified that its core is the feedback loop where AI iterates its own cognitive architecture relying on existing intelligence. Current RSI in the AI field can follow two paths: one is that the model directly rewrites its own weights, and the other is to optimize its own training pipeline in a broad sense.

QbitAI
Anthropic has recently released the small model Claude Haiku5.5, whose benchmark scores exceed DeepSeek V4.1Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash, outperforming GPT-6 Luna in all items. Its coding and agent operation capabilities have been greatly improved, and the accuracy of the lowest gear far exceeds the highest gear of the previous generation Haiku4.5. The cost of requests within 100,000 tokens is cut by 90%, and the pricing is lower than competing products. Currently Claude covers full scenario requirements, forcing OpenAI to follow up with iterations.
