Intertemporal Preference Steering in Qwen3 via Contrastive Activation Addition

arXiv:2608. 03892v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study linear representations of temporal horizon in the large language model Qwen3-32B and use them to change the model's time-related preferences, recommendations, and capabilities.

Temporal Preference Concepts and their Functions in a Large Language Model

arXiv:2606. 05194v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being deployed to make decisions that require trading off near-term gains against long-term consequences, yet little is known about how they internally represent or resolve these tradeoffs.

Beyond Solvability: Task Learnability as a Static Prior for LLM RL Post-Training

arXiv:2608. 09217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a central post-training paradigm for eliciting reasoning capabilities in large language models, yet uniform task sampling allocates compute without regard to differences in how tasks respond to optimization.

Beyond Solvability: Task Learnability as a Static Prior for LLM RL Post-Training

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a central post-training paradigm for eliciting reasoning capabilities in large language models, yet uniform task sampling allocates compute without regard to differences in how tasks respond to optimization. Existing task-valuation methods mostly rely on snapshot-based signals such as current pass rate or reward, which estimate how solvable a task is under the current policy.

RynnValue: Scaling Robotic Value Foundation Models with Temporal Distance

arXiv:2608. 09853v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: General-purpose reward models are increasingly the bottleneck for scaling robot learning, yet the recipe for learning value-related capabilities from large-scale heterogeneous corpora remains underexplored.
