Clean Engineering, Unstable Measurement: A Preregistered Reliability Failure of Black-Box LLM Observers on Shared Endpoints arXiv cs.AI
This preregistered study is a bombshell: LLM-as-judge evaluations on shared endpoints show Spearman correlation of only 0.400 on repeat attempts, fund

Knowing When Not to Reuse: Conditional Experience Transfer in Autonomous LLM Post-Training arXiv
This paper tackles a deceptively simple question: when should an LLM actually reuse its past experience during autonomous post-training, and when is t

SWE-Prime: Fewer Trajectories, Better Performance arXiv cs.AI
SWE-Prime proves that not all successful agent trajectories are equal—and filtering them leads to better fine-tuning outcomes.
-
LeVJEPA: Efficient & Scalable Video Pretraining without the Heuristics arXiv cs.AI
LeVJEPA redefines video pretraining by learning representations from *temporal coherence* without collapse—no heuristics, no masking, just pure self-s

Successive Capacity Growth: Task-Complexity-Driven Width and Depth Expansion for Vision Transformer Encoders in JEPA World Models arXiv cs.AI
Successive Capacity Growth (SCG) turns Vision Transformers into dynamic learners that grow their brains—width and depth—as tasks get harder.
-
Stochastic Estimation of Transduced Language Models arXiv cs.CL
This paper shows how to compute probabilities for transduced language models (TLMs) without drowning in an exponential sea of source strings—turning a

CritICL: Inference-Time Weak-to-Strong Generalization from Small Language Model Failure Modes arXiv
CritICL turns failure into fuel: it uses small model mistakes at inference time to supercharge large language models, bridging the gap between weak an

Locked at the Entrance, Open Inside: Where RLVR Narrows the Solution Space arXiv
This paper exposes a blind spot in LLM evaluation: current benchmarks miss the *solution structure* gap that makes models fail in the real world.
