dQwen3.5: Hybrid-Attention Diffusion Language Models

Anton Xue, Litu Rout, Aditya Akella +3

Adapting a pretrained autoregressive (AR) model is a cost-efficient route to a diffusion language model (DLM). While nearly all such adaptations start from a full-attention transfo…

Efficient Robust Learning at the Information-Theoretic Limit

Adam R. Klivans, Konstantinos Stavropoulos, Sergei Tikhonov +1

In an important recent work, Blanc (2026) gave an algorithm for robustly learning Boolean concept classes with respect to a fixed distribution that outputs a (randomized) classifie…

Long-Horizon AI Research for Grothendieck Constant: A Case Study in Human-AI Mathematical Collaboration

Alan Li, Rahul Saha, Anton Xue +4

AI agents are increasingly used in mathematics research, but it is often unclear how to use them effectively. Towards this, we present an extensive case study of how AI was used to…

New Lower and Upper Bounds for the Grothendieck Constant

Rahul Saha, Alan Li, Anton Xue +4

We establish new bounds on the Grothendieck constant : \[ \frac{6π}{11} \le K_G \le \fracπ{2\log(1+\sqrt2)} - 10^{-4}. \] Methodologically, our lower bound approach differs fr…

Mask-Aware Policy Gradients for Diffusion Language Models

Haran Raajesh, Kulin Shah, Adam Klivans +1

Reinforcement learning has proven effective for improving reasoning in large language models, but extending it to Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLMs) remains challenging due t…

The Grothendieck Constant is Less Than

Alan Li, Rahul Saha, Anton Xue +4

We prove that the Grothendieck constant . This improves on the work of Braverman, Makarychev, Makarychev, and Naor (2011), who proved…
