A Sovereign, Open-Source Foundation Model for German and English

Soofi-Team, :, Benedikt Droste +30

We present Soofi S 30B-A3B, a sovereign, open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) hybrid Mamba Transformer foundation model for German and English. Its hybrid design activates only 3B…

No Safe Dose: How Training Data Drives Unsafe Image Generation

Felix Friedrich, Lukas Helff, Niharika Hegde +2

Text-to-image models trained on large-scale data often inevitably ingest unsafe content. While some people observe input-output amplifications, it remains unclear whether and how t…

SocialGrid: A Benchmark for Planning and Social Reasoning in Embodied Multi-Agent Systems

Hikaru Shindo, Hanzhao Lin, Lukas Helff +2

As Large Language Models (LLMs) transition from text processors to autonomous agents, evaluating their social reasoning in embodied multi-agent settings becomes critical. We introd…

LLMs Gaming Verifiers: RLVR can Lead to Reward Hacking

Lukas Helff, Quentin Delfosse, David Steinmann +6

As reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has become the dominant paradigm for scaling reasoning capabilities in LLMs, a new failure mode emerges: LLMs gaming verifi…

Synthesizing Visual Concepts as Vision-Language Programs

Antonia Wüst, Wolfgang Stammer, Hikaru Shindo +3

Vision-Language models (VLMs) achieve strong performance on multimodal tasks but often fail at systematic visual reasoning tasks, leading to inconsistent or illogical outputs. Neur…

ActivationReasoning: Logical Reasoning in Latent Activation Spaces

Lukas Helff, Ruben Härle, Wolfgang Stammer +6

Large language models (LLMs) excel at generating fluent text, but their internal reasoning remains opaque and difficult to control. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) make hidden activatio…

SLR: Automated Synthesis for Scalable Logical Reasoning

Lukas Helff, Ahmad Omar, Felix Friedrich +7

We introduce SLR, an end-to-end framework for systematic evaluation and training of Large Language Models (LLMs) via Scalable Logical Reasoning. Given a user's task specification,…
