Grounded Scaling: Determinism as a Core Limit in Agentic AI

Agentic AI performance degrades exponentially in non-deterministic environments, with k-step success falling as δ^k when per-step determinism δ < 1. The paper introduces a framework linking environment determinism to task success, verifiability, and skill evolution, proposing a Supply Certainty Index and a five-level Determinism Maturity Model. It challenges prevailing views by identifying determinism as a binding constraint across compute, data, embodiment, and alignment.

Nex-N2-Mini-Ultra-Uncensored-Heretic Model Released

The Nex-N2-Mini-Ultra-Uncensored-Heretic model is now available, featuring agentic thinking with 5/100 refusals and a KLD of 0.0020. It is released in both Safetensors and GGUF formats and is accessible via Hugging Face. The creator notes that Heretic 1.2.0 was chosen over 1.4.0 due to better performance in avoiding high KLD and maintaining low refusal thresholds.

DataClaw0: Agentic Tailoring of Multimodal Data from Raw Streams

DataClaw0 introduces an agentic paradigm for actively refining raw multimodal data to align with user and downstream intents. It uses a two-stage pipeline grounded in factual anchors to generate a large-scale dataset across five domains and combines supervised fine-tuning with GRPO to achieve strong alignment with complex refinement tasks. Evaluated on video generation, VQA, and GUI navigation, DataClaw0 produces high-information-density tailored data, enabling efficient model adaptation with minimal training data.

Neural Action Codec for Vision-Language-Action Models

NAC, a neural audio codec-inspired architecture, compresses robot action trajectories as multi-channel 1D signals using multi-scale residual vector quantization. By replacing mel-spectrogram losses with time-domain and non-mel spectral reconstruction, NAC achieves high-fidelity action encoding with minimal architectural changes, outperforming existing tokenizers in reconstruction error and success rates on real-world manipulation tasks.
