Reinforcement Learning for Computer-Use Agents with Autonomous Evaluation

The authors propose a reinforcement learning fine-tuning framework that utilizes autonomous vision-language evaluation as a scalable supervision signal for GUI agents, eliminating the need for manual labels or task-specific heuristics. By treating evaluator feedback as a noisy binary reward channel and deriving a noise-corrected estimator for Proximal Policy Optimization, the method addresses the difficulty of obtaining machine-readable rewards in open-ended desktop environments.

Ornith-1.0: Self-Scaffolding LLMs for Agentic Coding

DeepReinforce has released Ornith-1.0, an open-weight model licensed under MIT that achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size on coding benchmarks. The model is built upon pretrained Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 foundations and includes variants with 9B Dense, 31B Dense, 35B MoE, and 397B MoE parameter counts.

Governed Shared Memory for Multi-Agent LLM Systems

This paper formalizes the fleet-memory problem in multi-agent LLM environments, identifying four foundational failure modes: unauthorized leakage, stale propagation, contradiction persistence, and provenance collapse. To address these issues, the authors define explicit systems-level primitives including scoped retrieval, temporal supersession, provenance tracking, and policy-governed memory propagation.

Quant Convergence: Bridging Classical Value Investing and Modern Factor Models

This research tests whether Benjamin Graham's classic value investing rules can act as a mathematical filter to prevent complex machine learning models from memorizing market noise. The study compares pure Graham rules, modern factors, and a combination of both against XGBoost and AutoGluon models using 20 years of S&P 500 data.

Overrefusal from Small On-Premises LLMs in Criminal Legal Context

A study investigates the impact of overrefusal on small, on-device large language models when processing legal prompts, finding that authority-style prefixes systematically increase refusal rates by 2 to 20 times compared to a no-prefix baseline. While role-play jailbreak prefixes showed mixed effects across different models, the results indicate that these small LLMs are unstable under contextual framings typical of real institutional users.

ASALT: Adaptive State Alignment for Lateral Transfer in Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

This paper introduces ASALT, a method for lateral transfer learning in multi-agent reinforcement learning that accommodates mismatched state-space dimensionalities between source and target domains. The approach uses observation-level and state-level adapters to map inputs into a shared embedding space, enabling effective knowledge transfer across heterogeneous environments.

Dual GPU Value: Parallelism Over Model Size for Local LLMs

The author argues that upgrading from a single to dual GPU offers greater benefits through parallel processing rather than enabling the use of larger, higher-quality model quantizations. For coding tasks, the quality difference between Q4 and Q6/Q8 quantizations is minimal, making increased context window and throughput more valuable.

Proposing a unified open dataset instead of decentralized LLM training

The author argues that the open-source community should prioritize building a massive, high-quality pre-training dataset rather than attempting to coordinate decentralized LLM training across home GPUs. This shift is presented as a more practical and immediate response to recent government bans on commercial frontier models and a scarcity of small-to-medium open-weight releases.

Uncertainty-Aware Longitudinal Forecasting of Alzheimer's Disease Progression Using Deep Learning

This study proposes a probabilistic framework for longitudinal modeling of Alzheimer's disease progression that combines ordinal diagnosis prediction, multi-horizon trajectory generation, and decomposed uncertainty estimation. The approach utilizes a Temporal Fusion Transformer encoder and an autoregressive Mixture Density Network to generate five-year probabilistic trajectories while quantifying both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.

ScaleToT: Generalizing Structured LLM Reasoning for Billion-Scale Low-Activity User Modeling

The paper introduces ScaleToT, a method that learns structured reasoning from a small subset of users and extends it to billions of low-activity users with sparse profiles. It combines a bounded entropy-guided Tree-of-Thought refinement with supervised fine-tuning and reward policy optimization to transfer reasoning capabilities without full LLM inference.

Infinitesimal Causality

This paper introduces a categorical account of infinitesimal causality in Frobenius Markov categories equipped with tangent-bundle semantics. It defines causal sufficiency through the compatibility of two distinct Frobenius structures: one encoding classical variable operations and another representing geometric integrability.
