AdaEvolve: Adaptive LLM Driven Zeroth-Order Optimization

Mert Cemri, Shubham Agrawal, Akshat Gupta +9

The paradigm of automated program generation is shifting from one-shot generation to inference-time search, where Large Language Models (LLMs) function as semantic mutation operato…

OpenThoughts-Agent: Data Recipes for Agentic Models

Negin Raoof, Richard Zhuang, Marianna Nezhurina +47

Agentic language models dramatically expand the applications of AI yet little is publicly known about how to curate training data for broadly capable agents. Existing open efforts…

When Thinking Drifts: Evidential Grounding for Robust Video Reasoning

Mi Luo, Zihui Xue, Alex Dimakis +1

Video reasoning, the task of enabling machines to infer from dynamic visual content through multi-step logic, is crucial for advanced AI. While the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) mechanism…

SVFT: Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning with Singular Vectors

Vijay Lingam, Atula Tejaswi, Aditya Vavre +7

Popular parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, such as LoRA and its variants, freeze pre-trained model weights \(W\) and inject learnable matrices \(ΔW\). These \(ΔW\) m…

Fantastic Adaptive Taxonomies and How to Use Them

Mert Cemri, Andrei Cojocaru, Melissa Pan +9

An agent system's execution traces record how it fails, and procedures that improve such a system without changing model weights (trajectory selection, prompt and workflow optimiza…

Put Myself in Your Shoes: Lifting the Egocentric Perspective from Exocentric Videos

Mi Luo, Zihui Xue, Alex Dimakis +1

We investigate exocentric-to-egocentric cross-view translation, which aims to generate a first-person (egocentric) view of an actor based on a video recording that captures the act…

FrontierSmith: Synthesizing Open-Ended Coding Problems at Scale

Runyuan He, Qiuyang Mang, Shang Zhou +14

Many real-world coding challenges are open-ended and admit no known optimal solution. Yet, recent progress in LLM coding has focused on well-defined tasks such as feature implement…

On the Mixing Time of Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Integer Least-Square Problems

Weiyu Xu, Alex Dimakis, Babak Hassibi

In this paper, we study the mixing time of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for integer least-square (LS) optimization problems. It is found that the mixing time of MCMC for integer…

Terminal-Bench: Benchmarking Agents on Hard, Realistic Tasks in Command Line Interfaces

Mike A. Merrill, Alexander G. Shaw, Nicholas Carlini +82

AI agents may soon become capable of autonomously completing valuable, long-horizon tasks in diverse domains. Current benchmarks either do not measure real-world tasks, or are not…

Warped Diffusion: Solving Video Inverse Problems with Image Diffusion Models

Giannis Daras, Weili Nie, Karsten Kreis +4

Using image models naively for solving inverse video problems often suffers from flickering, texture-sticking, and temporal inconsistency in generated videos. To tackle these probl…

DataComp: In search of the next generation of multimodal datasets

Samir Yitzhak Gadre, Gabriel Ilharco, Alex Fang +31

Multimodal datasets are a critical component in recent breakthroughs such as Stable Diffusion and GPT-4, yet their design does not receive the same research attention as model arch…

On a Foundation Model for Operating Systems

Divyanshu Saxena, Nihal Sharma, Donghyun Kim +15

This paper lays down the research agenda for a domain-specific foundation model for operating systems (OSes). Our case for a foundation model revolves around the observations that…
