🔴 Seedance 2.0: Advancing Video Generation for World Complexity — score 95
Sources: huggingface
Seedance 2.0 is a new native multi-modal audio-video generation model, officially released in China in early February 2026. Compared with its predecessors, Seedance 1.0 and 1.5 Pro, Seedance 2.0 adopts a unified, highly efficient, and large-scale architecture for multi-modal audio-video joint genera
🔴 RationalRewards: Reasoning Rewards Scale Visual Generation Both Training and Test Time — score 75
Sources: huggingface
Most reward models for visual generation reduce rich human judgments to a single unexplained score, discarding the reasoning that underlies preference. We show that teaching reward models to produce explicit, multi-dimensional critiques before scoring transforms them from passive evaluators into act

🔴 GameWorld: Towards Standardized and Verifiable Evaluation of Multimodal Game Agents — score 85
Sources: huggingface
Towards an embodied generalist for real-world interaction, Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) agents still suffer from challenging latency, sparse feedback, and irreversible mistakes. Video games offer an ideal testbed with rich visual observations and closed-loop interaction, demanding fine-gra

🟡 OccuBench: Evaluating AI Agents on Real-World Professional Tasks via Language World Models — score 65
Sources: huggingface
AI agents are expected to perform professional work across hundreds of occupational domains (from emergency department triage to nuclear reactor safety monitoring to customs import processing), yet existing benchmarks can only evaluate agents in the few domains where public environments exist. We in

🟡 SpatialEvo: Self-Evolving Spatial Intelligence via Deterministic Geometric Environments — score 55
Sources: huggingface
Spatial reasoning over three-dimensional scenes is a core capability for embodied intelligence, yet continuous model improvement remains bottlenecked by the cost of geometric annotation. The self-evolving paradigm offers a promising path, but its reliance on model consensus to construct pseudo-label

The updated Codex app for macOS and Windows adds computer use, in-app browsing, image generation, memory, and plugins to accelerate developer workflows.
🟡 Memory Transfer Learning: How Memories are Transferred Across Domains in Coding Agents — score 45
Sources: huggingface
Memory-based self-evolution has emerged as a promising paradigm for coding agents. However, existing approaches typically restrict memory utilization to homogeneous task domains, failing to leverage the shared infrastructural foundations, such as runtime environments and programming languages, that

🟢 Exploration and Exploitation Errors Are Measurable for Language Model Agents — score 20
Sources: huggingface
Language Model (LM) agents are increasingly used in complex open-ended decision-making tasks, from AI coding to physical AI. A core requirement in these settings is the ability to both explore the problem space and exploit acquired knowledge effectively. However, systematically distinguishing and qu

🟢 Target Policy Optimization — score 20
Sources: huggingface
In RL, given a prompt, we sample a group of completions from a model and score them. Two questions follow: which completions should gain probability mass, and how should the parameters move to realize that change? Standard policy-gradient methods answer both at once, so the update can overshoot or u
🟢 Sema Code: Decoupling AI Coding Agents into Programmable, Embeddable Infrastructure — score 5
Sources: huggingface
AI coding agents have become central to developer workflows, yet every existing solution locks its reasoning capabilities within a specific delivery form, such as a CLI, IDE plugin, or web application. This limitation creates systemic barriers when enterprises attempt to reuse these capabilities acr

🟢 From P(y|x) to P(y): Investigating Reinforcement Learning in Pre-train Space — score 35
Sources: huggingface
While reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) significantly enhances LLM reasoning by optimizing the conditional distribution P(y|x), its potential is fundamentally bounded by the base model's existing output distribution. Optimizing the marginal distribution P(y) in the Pre-train Spac
