Designing Instance-Level Sampling Schedules via REINFORCE with James-Stein Shrinkage

Peiyu Yu, Suraj Kothawade, Sirui Xie +2

Most post-training methods for text-to-image samplers focus on model weights: either fine-tuning the backbone for alignment or distilling it for few-step efficiency. We take a diff…

Generative Actor Critic

Aoyang Qin, Deqian Kong, Wei Wang +3

Conventional Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms, typically focused on estimating or maximizing expected returns, face challenges when refining offline pretrained models with on…

Gemini 2.5: Pushing the Frontier with Advanced Reasoning, Multimodality, Long Context, and Next Generation Agentic Capabilities

Gheorghe Comanici, Eric Bieber, Mike Schaekermann +3431

In this report, we introduce the Gemini 2.X model family: Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash, as well as our earlier Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash-Lite models. Gemini 2.5 Pro is our…

Latent Plan Transformer for Trajectory Abstraction: Planning as Latent Space Inference

Deqian Kong, Dehong Xu, Minglu Zhao +6

In tasks aiming for long-term returns, planning becomes essential. We study generative modeling for planning with datasets repurposed from offline reinforcement learning. Specifica…

Latent Thought Models with Variational Bayes Inference-Time Computation

Deqian Kong, Minglu Zhao, Dehong Xu +8

We propose a novel class of language models, Latent Thought Models (LTMs), which incorporate explicit latent thought vectors that follow an explicit prior model in latent space. Th…
