arXiv:2606. 31392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-augmented vision-language models (VLMs) can solve multimodal, multi-step tasks by calling external tools, yet they remain fragile in practice.

arXiv:2606. 31023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hard-constrained sequential decision systems have no certified way to spend the test-time compute of modern AI: executing the multi-step drafts of a learned policy or a frozen LLM forfeits the feasibility guarantee a trusted solver provides, while invoking the solver at every step forfeits the speed the AI offers.

arXiv:2606. 31984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial recommendation systems serve billions of users through a multi-stage funnel -- retrieval, early-stage ranking, and re-ranking -- where the final re-ranking step disproportionately shapes user engagement and downstream performance, particularly for carousel and grid display formats.
