When Protection Overrides Consequences: Understanding Protection Mode in Large Language Model Decision-Making
Yuanfan Li, Junyi Chen, Qi Zhou +3
Frontier language models excel at complex tasks yet may prioritize protection over larger physical consequences in simple, urgent decisions. GPT-5.6 Sol, for example, moves a girl…
Screenshots or Tools? Eliciting Tool Use and Managing Multimodal Context in Hybrid GUI-MCP Computer-Use Agents
Siqi Fan, Minghao Li, Xiaoqian Ma +6
Hybrid computer-use agents can act through screenshots or call text tools. We find that having a tool available does not settle which way the effect goes. Under one identical GUI-M…
Hint Tuning: Less Data Makes Better Reasoners
Siqi Fan, Minghao Li, Xiaoqian Ma +6
Large reasoning models achieve high accuracy through extended chain-of-thought but generate 5--8 more tokens than necessary, applying verbose reasoning uniformly regardless of prob…
Pair-In, Pair-Out: Latent Multi-Token Prediction for Efficient LLMs
Wenhui Tan, Minghao Li, Xiaoqian Ma +5
Long chain-of-thought reasoning has made autoregressive decoding the dominant inference cost of modern large language models. Existing methods target either the input side (latent…
Towards Large-scale Generative Ranking
Yanhua Huang, Yuqi Chen, Xiong Cao +17
Generative recommendation has recently emerged as a promising paradigm in information retrieval. However, generative ranking systems are still understudied, particularly with respe…
