Accurate, Interdisciplinary and Transparent Structure-property Understanding with Deep Native Structural ReasoningStructure-property relationships are foundational to biology, chemistry and materials science, where function, reactivity and physical response emerge from spatial, chemical and periodic organization. Mechanistically explaining these relationships requires interpreting structural evidence through scientific principles and physical constraints, from stereochemistry and bonding to symmetry, energetics and periodic order. However, applying artificial intelligence to this process presents a joint challenge of representation and reasoning: models must preserve domain-native structural information while showing how specific evidence supports predictions under these constraints. Here we introduce SciReasoner, a multimodal scientific foundation model for native structural reasoning across proteins, small molecules and inorganic crystals. SciReasoner discretizes coordinates, topologies and periodic connectivities into a unified structure-aware vocabulary, treating structural tokens as addressable evidence units during reasoning. In homology-controlled Gene Ontology prediction, SciReasoner improves Cellular Component annotation for low-homology and orphan-like proteins, increasing F_{max} from 0.42 to 0.55. In chemistry, it raises single-step retrosynthesis accuracy from 0.63 to 0.72 while generating fragment-level disconnection and precursor-verification traces. In materials science, its representations separate elemental and compound phases and resolve high- and low-band-gap regimes. Across 86 benchmarks, SciReasoner achieves state-of-the-art performance on 67 tasks. Double-blind expert evaluation rates its reasoning traces as preferred or at least comparable to those of a frontier large language model in 98% of cases. By making structure an inspectable substrate for reasoning under scientific constraints, SciReasoner connects accurate prediction with interpretable scientific inference.
Dual Latent Memory in Vision-Language-Action Models for Robotic ManipulationMainstream Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models predict actions primarily from the current observation under a Markovian assumption, thus struggling with long-horizon, temporally dependent tasks. Existing memory-augmented VLAs either expand the observation window or retrieve history from the memory bank as auxiliary policy-side context. However, they leave memory outside the native latent embedding space of VLA reasoning, preventing historical experience from being fluidly interleaved with multimodal reasoning and action formation. To this end, we introduce LaMem-VLA, a latent-memory-native framework that reconstructs historical experience into latent memory tokens and directly interweaves them with VLA reasoning. At its core, LaMem-VLA introduces four coordinated components: (i) a curator that organizes historical experience into two complementary short-term and long-term memory vaults; (ii) a seeker that queries both vaults using the multimodal cognition to retrieve context-relevant evidence; (iii) a condenser that reconstructs the retrieved evidence into compact short-term and long-term latent memory tokens; and (iv) a weaver that injects these memory tokens with the current observation and instruction into one continuous embedding sequence. By representing, retrieving, and consuming historical experience entirely in the same continuous latent space, LaMem-VLA enables memory to directly participate in VLA reasoning and guide action generation under a bounded context. Extensive experiments on SimplerEnv and LIBERO demonstrate the superiority of our LaMem-VLA.
Scaling Mixture-of-Experts Video Pretraining for Embodied IntelligenceDespite the recent promise in robot control, video generative models suffer from a domain mismatch due to their primary focus on content creation. For example, their design inherently prioritizes visual fidelity and creativity over computational efficiency and physical realism. In this work, we present LingBot-Video, a DiT-based video pretraining paradigm specifically tailored for embodied intelligence. From the architecture perspective, we adopt the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), instead of dense, framework to achieve a better trade-off between modeling capacity and inference efficiency, and manage to scale it up from scratch. From the data perspective, we construct a data profiling engine that augments standard internet videos with extensive robot-oriented footage, encompassing manipulation, navigation, and egocentric perspectives, to equip the base model with an intrinsic understanding of actions and world dynamics. From the training perspective, we develop a multi-dimensional reward system to enforce the alignment regarding physical rationality and task completion, going beyond standard criteria such as aesthetics, prompt-following, and motion consistency. Comprehensive evaluations validate its performance and efficiency as a video foundation model. We contribute LingBot-Video as the inaugural large-scale, open-source MoE video foundation model to the community, in a pioneering effort to bridge digital creativity and physical actuation.
Infinite Worlds with Versatile InteractionsWe present LingBot-World 2.0 (also known as LingBot-World-Infinity), an advanced iteration of LingBot-World featuring four distinct upgrades. (1) Our model achieves an unbounded interaction horizon while maintaining consistent output quality, benefiting from a carefully crafted causal pretraining paradigm. (2) Through distilling a real-time variant from the base model, our system guarantees rapid response time, sufficient to drive 720p video streams at 60 fps. (3) Compared to the previous version, this update introduces highly diverse interactive elements, comprising a broader spectrum of actions (e.g., attacking, archery, spell-casting, and shooting) alongside a richer variety of text-driven events. (4) We pioneer the integration of an agentic harness within the domain of world modeling, wherein a pilot agent is tasked with planning and executing character behaviors, while a director agent is responsible for synthesizing novel environmental elements as the scene progresses. Additionally, to facilitate a shared experience, we develop an interface that permits multiple players to simultaneously immerse themselves in this vivid world simulator. We pair our primary 14B model with a lightweight 1.3B counterpart, which supports effortless deployment on a single GPU.
RoboDojo: A Unified Sim-and-Real Benchmark for Comprehensive Evaluation of Generalist Robot Manipulation PoliciesGeneralist robot manipulation policies have advanced rapidly, yet existing benchmarks remain limited in systematically evaluating their capabilities. Many rely on simple, short-horizon, or skill-narrow tasks with limited capability coverage, and are often conducted only in simulation or only in the real world. Simulation enables scalable feedback but misses physical deployment challenges, while real-world evaluation is costly, time-consuming, and difficult to reproduce. We introduce RoboDojo, a unified sim-and-real benchmark for comprehensive evaluation of generalist robot manipulation policies. RoboDojo includes 42 simulation tasks and 18 real-world tasks covering diverse and complementary manipulation capabilities. The simulation benchmark evaluates five dimensions: generalization, memory, precision, long-horizon execution, and open-vocabulary instruction following, while the real-world benchmark exposes policies to challenging physical-world deployment conditions. RoboDojo supports scalable evaluation through heterogeneous parallel simulation in Isaac Sim and provides RoboDojo-RealEval, a reproducible real-world evaluation system with remote cloud access, standardized hardware, scene reset, evaluation protocol, and deployment interface. Together with XPolicyLab, policies can be integrated once and evaluated across simulation and real-world settings with minimal adaptation. We integrate 30 policies into XPolicyLab and evaluate them on RoboDojo, establishing a public leaderboard and systematic analysis of current policy performance.

WildCity: A Real-World City-Scale Testbed for Rendering, Simulation, and Spatial IntelligenceHumans can navigate an unfamiliar city and gradually form a coherent spatial mental map spanning tens of square kilometers. Can AI build spatial representations at a comparable scale? Although recent foundation models have advanced scene reconstruction and embodied intelligence, scaling to entire cities remains an open challenge, primarily due to the lack of city-scale data. To bridge the gap, we introduce WildCity, a real-world multimodal dataset collected by autonomous fleets traversing complex urban environments. Our dataset includes 18 trajectories, each averaging 83.7 kilometers in length, and preserves the core challenges of in-the-wild perception, e.g., dynamic objects, lighting variations, and imperfect camera poses. We further establish an urban-tailored reconstruction baseline and convert the reconstructed environments into a closed-loop simulator. Beyond the dataset and baseline, we systematically analyze the key challenges on the path to simulation-ready urban digital twins: scalability, extrapolation, and uncertainty. Ultimately, WildCity aims to catalyze progress not only in city-scale rendering, but more broadly in the pursuit of AI that can perceive, remember, and reason across space at a scale comparable to human cognition.

Automating the Design of Embodied Agent ArchitecturesEmbodied agents are typically built as hand-designed compositions of perception, memory, planning, and action modules. This modularity exposes a large architectural design space, but current systems still rely on researcher intuition to choose where information is stored, how observations are processed, and how model calls are connected. Agent Architecture Search (AAS) automates such design for text-domain agents, but has not been systematically evaluated on perceptual embodied agents through simulator rollouts. We study this transfer. We introduce AgentCanvas, a typed-graph runtime that hosts embodied executors as editable node-and-wire programs with simulator-aware execution and episode-level logs, and KDLoop, a coding-agent search procedure that cycles through proposal, critique, experiment, and distillation, with triggered reflection after stalls. We evaluate three AAS variants across four embodied executors spanning vision-language navigation, embodied question answering, and language-conditioned manipulation. The resulting 3x4 matrix shows that architecture-level search can produce deployable and directional success-rate gains on embodied tasks, while one apparent high-scoring candidate is rejected as leak-bearing. At the same time, the experiments expose constraints that are muted in text-domain AAS: optimization signals can be masked by rollout noise, search can become trapped in local edit basins, and episode-level credit assignment only partially emerges even when detailed logs are available. These results characterize both the promise and the current limits of automated architecture search for embodied agents.
Teaching LLMs a Low-Resource Language: Enhancing Code Completion in PharoLarge Language Models (LLMs) unlocked new possibilities in automated code writing, becoming the backbone of most code completion tools. While LLMs excel in mainstream languages, they often lack support for the so-called low-resource languages where training data is scarce. As a result, these languages lag behind in the quality of code completion tooling available to their communities. A concrete example is Pharo, a Smalltalk-inspired language whose IDE currently offers only single-token completion. In this work, we report on our experience bringing LLM-based code completion to Pharo. First, we describe an end-to-end pipeline that combines Pharo-specific data curation, continued pre-training and fine-tuning of open code LLMs. Second, we introduce a set of Pharo code completion benchmarks designed to evaluate whether models (i) learn Pharo's syntax and (ii) accurately complete masked Pharo code from real-world GitHub repositories. Third, we show empirically that Pharo-specialized models substantially outperform their original base checkpoints and also exceed the accuracy of substantially larger code LLMs on Pharo completion. Overall, our case study demonstrates the feasibility of bringing strong LLM-based code completion to low-resource programming languages, with models small enough to provide ``real-time'' in-IDE support.
Wake up for Touch! Mask-isolated Tactile Alignment Learning in MLLMsTouch supplies the physical grounding needed to perceive intrinsic material properties, such as friction and compliance, that vision alone often cannot resolve. Recent efforts for equipping multimodal LLMs with this tactile sense, however, expose a zero-sum trade-off: the limited parameter budget of compact models forces a choice between acquiring the new sensory modality and preserving the established vision-language reasoning. We present Splash, a mask-isolated tactile alignment learning framework for MLLMs. Splash quantifies the significance of each pretrained parameter, and partitions the parameter space into a dormant and critical subspace. While the frozen critical subspace acts as a stable anchor to safeguard general visual knowledge, Splash updates the isolated dormant subspace to internalize tactile alignment towards LLMs. This selective, non-destructive expansion effectively prevents catastrophic forgetting and ensures non-destructive modality expansion. Extensive experiments show that Splash effectively achieves tactile reasoning without additional inference overhead in the LLM part, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on visuo-tactile benchmarks, including SSVTP, TVL, and TacQuad, while preserving its original general-purpose capabilities.

Single-Rollout Asynchronous Optimization for Agentic Reinforcement LearningReinforcement learning (RL) is becoming increasingly important for post-training large language models (LLMs). Previous RL pipelines for LLMs were mostly synchronous and batch-interleaved, which is inefficient for long-horizon agentic tasks. Recently, asynchronous RL has emerged as a more efficient alternative by updating the model as rollouts arrive. However, existing asynchronous RL systems often emphasize throughput, while leaving training stability and task effectiveness largely underexplored. For example, a key challenge is that group-wise sampling in the widely-used GRPO framework does not naturally fit asynchronous agentic training. In this paper, we present Single-rollout Asynchronous Optimization (SAO) to address the stability and off-policy challenges in asynchronous RL. To reduce off-policy effects and improve generalization, we replace group-wise sampling with single-rollout sampling, that is, using one rollout per prompt. We further improve this single-rollout strategy with practical value-model training designs. To improve optimization stability, we introduce a strict double-side token-level clipping strategy. SAO is able to train stably for one thousand steps and consistently outperform GRPO and its variants on agentic coding and reasoning benchmarks, such as SWE-Bench Verified, BeyondAIME, and IMOAnswerBench. We also demonstrate that single-rollout RL is particularly effective in a simulated online learning setting, where the model must adapt to changing evolving environments. To this end, SAO is successfully deployed in the agentic RL pipeline for training the open GLM-5.2 model (750B-A40B).

Sparse Delta Memory: Scaling the State of Linear RNNs through SparsityLinear attention models allow a fixed state size and a fixed amount of compute per token. However, due to their limited state size, linear attention models fall behind in long-context recall compared to softmax-attention-based transformer architectures. Increasing the state size of linear attention improves recall performance but at the cost of higher FLOPs. In this work, we introduce Sparse Delta Memory (SDM), an architecture that scales the hidden state of gated linear RNNs to orders of magnitude higher capacity using a sparse addressing scheme. SDM extends the Gated DeltaNet architecture by replacing the dense key-value outer product with sparse reads and writes to a large explicit memory. We show that, under an isoFLOP constraint and with an identical number of parameters, a higher state memory capacity significantly improves performance on in-context learning and long-context retrieval tasks. Moreover, by learning the initial state of the SDM memory and therefore using it as a parametric memory, we show that the model further improves on a wide range of common-knowledge and reasoning tasks.

Imagined Rollouts are Kinematic, Not Dynamic: A Diagnosis of Long-Horizon World-Model FailureLong-horizon failure in world models is conventionally attributed to compounding error, a generic framing that does not distinguish what kind of error compounds. We propose a kinematic-vs-dynamic reframing: world models tend to imagine kinematically rather than dynamically. We operationalize this as the imagined Kinematic-Consistency Error, a per-step diagnostic that measures how far a rollout departs from a closed-form kinematic null, paired with a perturbation protocol that tests whether iKCE responds when physical conditions cross a regime boundary. We instantiate the diagnostic on a released DreamerV3 checkpoint trained on DMC walker-walk, where imagined iKCE runs roughly two orders of magnitude above that of matched real-physics rollouts. Across a friction sweep that crosses the gait-collapse boundary, the model's iKCE stays statistically flat even as the trained policy's reward collapses through the same range, providing the kinematic-not-dynamic signature. The diagnostic distinguishes kinematic from dynamic imagination at horizons longer than the embodiment's gait period.
