BDH-CQ: In-Context Learning with Recurrent Latent Reasoning

BDH-CQ combines in-context learning through continuously updated recurrent memory with iterative reasoning in a high-dimensional latent space, without verbalizing intermediate reasoning. On ARC-AGI-1, its 150M-parameter configuration attains 29.5% pass@2 at a computed cost of $0.0007 per task, improving the reported cost-accuracy frontier.

On the Design of Qwen3.8-Next Architecture: Evaluation, Efficiency, and Training Stability

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next combines hybrid Gated DeltaNet and sparse attention, gated residual branches, and host-memory n-gram embeddings in a 125B-parameter MoE backbone with 6B parameters activated per token. Joint architecture and Muon optimizer ablations examine downstream quality, training and inference costs, and stability, yielding competitive pretraining performance at roughly one-ninth the predecessor's training FLOPs.

The Latent Space: Foundation, Evolution, Mechanism, Ability, and Outlook

This survey argues that continuous latent space is becoming a native computational substrate for language-based models, addressing the inefficiencies of explicit token-level generation such as redundancy, discretization bottlenecks, and semantic loss. It further organizes the field through mechanism and ability perspectives, and outlines key open challenges for future research.

Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large Language Models

This paper introduces conditional memory as a sparsity axis complementary to MoE, instantiated by Engram for constant-time lookup of static knowledge. A scaling law guides the allocation between neural computation and memory, enabling Engram models to improve knowledge, reasoning, code, math, and long-context retrieval at matched parameters and FLOPs.

AI4AI at Test-Time: Strong-to-Weak Capability Transfer via Harnesses

This paper introduces strong-to-weak scaffolding, in which a stronger builder model constructs an inference-time harness that improves a weaker target model without updating its parameters. Across four Theory-of-Mind benchmarks, the harness nearly doubles average performance by offloading unstable reasoning to deterministic code, task-specific routing, and strict answer-format enforcement.

Large Language Models Explore by Latent Distilling

This paper proposes Exploratory Sampling (ESamp), a decoding method that addresses the shallow lexical variation of standard stochastic sampling by encouraging semantic exploration. It trains a lightweight Distiller at test time to predict deep-layer representations from shallow ones, then uses prediction error as a novelty signal to reweight candidate tokens and improve Pass@k efficiency.

Base Models Look Human To AI Detectors

This paper finds that commercial AI-text detectors often label base-model outputs as more human than outputs from instruction-tuned counterparts, suggesting they track tuning artifacts and local context rather than invariant machine-text signals. It proposes Humanization by Iterative Paraphrasing (HIP), a detector-agnostic fine-tuning and iterative paraphrasing pipeline that improves semantic preservation while evading detectors.
