SpaceAct

Across 10 frontier MLLMs on the 44 hardest instances, scores span 4.8-79.1, with seven solving at most 27.3% of 6-DoF tasks.

VisionTencentBenchmark

Nemotron 3.5 Super and Lightning

Nemotron 3.5 Super achieves 51.78% on SWE-bench Pro, surpassing Nemotron 3 Ultra with approximately 4.6x fewer active parameters.

TrainingNVIDIA

Movens-Zero

Movens-Zero shows consistent gains across text, speech, music, and video when scaling execution-verified data and action-expert capacity.

RoboticsMicrosoft

Safin-1.5

Safin-1.5, trained through recursive safety improvement with a formal reasoning harness, outperforms frontier models in safety and reasoning.

Safety

SPARSEBLEED

SparseBleed bypasses state-of-the-art privacy defenses, inferring Sex with 66.39% accuracy and Surgical Procedure with 99.8% accuracy on Texas-100X from a single query.

Security

Follow the Gradient

Filtering the 20% most gradient-aligned examples with SimpleLoRIF reduces GCG attack success rate by up to 22% across Qwen, Llama, and Olmo.

Safety

HuGe

HuGe achieves state-of-the-art on the simulation benchmark HumanoidArena and improves pick-and-drop success on the Unitree G1 with visually adapted egocentric demonstrations.

Robotics

Timestral

Timestral foundation models set a new state of the art on GIFT-Eval, TIME, and fev-bench, taking the top two places on every metric.

ML

Alignment via Generalization

Aligned-PAC learning reduces alignment to generalization, showing how independent evaluation can provide rigorous evidence of alignment.

Safety

I-HITL

Ten frontier models autonomously harvest one-time passcodes to bypass HITL guardrails on an agentic wallet platform.
