Seeing, Maintaining, and Learning: The Evolution of Multimodal Agent Memory

Minghao Guo, Qingyue Jiao, Xiujin Liu +77

Multimodal models and agents have emerged to enable AI systems to learn from and interact with the real world more like humans by integrating information across multiple modalities…

EdgeWise: Bringing Long-Horizon Agents to the Edge via Selective Cloud Delegation

Zeru Shi, Jindong Jiang, Ryo Hachiuma +10

Complex and long-horizon agent tasks often rely on frontier models deployed in the cloud to achieve strong performance. However, using these models for every step of a long-horizon…

MemEye: A Visual-Centric Evaluation Framework for Multimodal Agent Memory

Minghao Guo, Qingyue Jiao, Zeru Shi +14

Long-term agent memory is increasingly multimodal, yet existing evaluations rarely test whether agents preserve the visual evidence needed for later reasoning. In prior work, many…

AgentForesight: Online Auditing for Early Failure Prediction in Multi-Agent Systems

Boxuan Zhang, Jianing Zhu, Zeru Shi +2

LLM-based multi-agent systems are increasingly deployed on long-horizon tasks, but a single decisive error is often accepted by downstream agents and cascades into trajectory-level…

A Single Layer to Explain Them All:Understanding Massive Activations in Large Language Models

Zeru Shi, Zhenting Wang, Fan Yang +2

We investigate the origins of massive activations in large language models (LLMs) and identify a specific layer named the \textbf{Massive Emergence Layer (ME Layer)}, that is consi…

Reinforcing Consistency in Video MLLMs with Structured Rewards

Yihao Quan, Zeru Shi, Jinman Zhao +1

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in video understanding. However, seemingly plausible outputs often suffer from poor visual and temporal g…

Counting Circuits: Mechanistic Interpretability of Visual Reasoning in Large Vision-Language Models

Liwei Che, Zhiyu Xue, Yihao Quan +7

Counting serves as a simple but powerful test of a Large Vision-Language Model's (LVLM's) reasoning; it forces the model to identify each individual object and then add them all up…

Improving Visual Reasoning with Iterative Evidence Refinement

Zeru Shi, Kai Mei, Yihao Quan +2

Vision language models (VLMs) are increasingly capable of reasoning over images, but robust visual reasoning often requires re-grounding intermediate steps in the underlying visual…

Castle: Causal Cascade Updates in Relational Databases with Large Language Models

Yongye Su, Yucheng Zhang, Zeru Shi +2

This work introduces Castle, the first framework for schema-only cascade update generation using large language models (LLMs). Despite recent advances in LLMs for Text2SQL code gen…

Read the Scene, Not the Script: Outcome-Aware Safety for LLMs

Rui Wu, Yihao Quan, Zeru Shi +3

Safety-aligned Large Language Models (LLMs) still show two dominant failure modes: they are easily jailbroken, or they over-refuse harmless inputs that contain sensitive surface si…

Meaningless Tokens, Meaningful Gains: How Activation Shifts Enhance LLM Reasoning

Zeru Shi, Yingjia Wan, Zhenting Wang +4

Motivated by the puzzling observation that inserting long sequences of meaningless tokens before the query prompt can consistently enhance LLM reasoning performance, this work anal…

Auto-Prompt Generation is Not Robust: Prompt Optimization Driven by Pseudo Gradient

Zeru Shi, Zhenting Wang, Yongye Su +5

While automatic prompt generation methods have recently received significant attention, their robustness remains poorly understood. In this paper, we introduce PertBench, a compreh…

From Commands to Prompts: LLM-based Semantic File System for AIOS

Zeru Shi, Kai Mei, Mingyu Jin +9

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in the development of intelligent applications and systems such as LLM-based agents and agent operating systems…
