MDP-GRPO: Stabilized Group Relative Policy Optimization for Multi-Constraint Instruction Following

arXiv:2606. 06058v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards is ideal for multi-constraint instruction following, yet standard group-relative policy optimization (GRPO) becomes unstable under discrete, low-dispersion rewards, where within-group reward distributions are frequently homogeneous.

Latent Reasoning with Normalizing Flows

arXiv:2606. 06447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models often improve reasoning by generating explicit chain-of-thought (CoT), demonstrating the importance of intermediate computation.

AlloGen: Conformation-Selective Binder Generation with Differential State Scoring

arXiv:2606. 05474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Protein binder design has largely optimized for affinity alone, leaving conformational selectivity unaddressed: for allosteric targets such as kinases, nuclear receptors, and GPCRs, a binder that engages both active and inactive states provides no functional specificity regardless of how tightly it binds.

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

arXiv:2606. 06164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data.

On Advantage Estimates for Max@K Policy Gradients

arXiv:2606. 06080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards is widely used for post-training reasoning models, but sparse outcome rewards make exploration difficult.

LEVANTE-bench: Multi-Scale Comparison of VLMs to Children Using Cognitive Tasks (or, "Is Your VLM Smarter Than a 5th Grader?")

arXiv:2606. 05497v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Given the inherently multimodal nature of human experience, vision-language models (VLMs) hold substantial promise for modeling human cognition as it grows and develops with experience.

CUCo: An Agentic Framework for Compute and Communication Co-design

arXiv:2603. 02376v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Computation and communication in distributed LLM training and inference are traditionally optimized in isolation; expert-crafted systems such as DeepEP, FLUX, and TokenWeave show the potential of co-design but require deep systems expertise and hardware-specific tuning; CUCo is an agentic framework that automates compute-communication co-design of CUDA kernels by combining a structured design-space formalization with a correctness-first fast-path agent for reliable baselines and an evolution-driven slow-path agent for high-performance strategies, achieving up to 1.
