WMAttack: Automated Attack Search for Adversarial Evaluation of World-Model Agents

Zhixiang Guo, Siyuan Liang, Shi Fu +4

Despite the growing use of world models as decision-making agents, their adversarial robustness remains underexplored due to the lack of dedicated automated evaluation methods. A k…

Kairos: A Regret-Aware Native World-Action Model Stack for Physical AI

Kairos Team, Fei Wang, Shan You +21

We introduce \textbf{Kairos}, a regret-aware native world-action model stack for Physical AI. Kairos is motivated by the view that a physical world model should not aim to fully si…

HRP: High-Rank Preheating for Superior LoRA Initialization

Yuzhu Chen, Yingjie Wang, Shi Fu +4

This paper studies the crucial impact of initialization in Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). Through theoretical analysis, we demonstrate that the fine-tuned result of LoRA is highly sen…
