Frontier video generation models work in a VAE latent space that compresses video in both space and time. This compression made training tractable, but now limits high-resolution, controllable, and interactive generation -- doubling resolution quadruples token count, conditions apply to groups of frames rather than individual ones, and each response must wait for the rest of its multi-frame block. We present PixVid…

How multimodal language models should encode visual input remains up for debate. Most models use a pretrained vision encoder, while some recent recipes train the encoder from scratch with the language model or remove it entirely. Vision encoders bundle together three design choices: a visual prior from upstream pretraining, dedicated vision capacity, and pre-fusion placement of that capacity (i.e., before the…

Model architecture shapes the scaling behavior, training efficiency, and inference cost of LLMs, making it a central focus of both industry and academia. In industry, teams such as those behind DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi routinely introduce architectural innovations, yet public reports rarely document which ideas succeeded, which were abandoned, and why. In academia, limited compute and inconsistent baselines often…

Decoder-only Large View Synthesis Models (LVSMs) with KV-cache have recently achieved state-of-the-art quality by regressing novel views from neural networks without reconstructing 3D geometry, while Test-Time Training (TTT) layers save computation but sacrifice quality. We propose Test-Time Baking (TTB), a strategy that learns to bake global scene information from cross-view attention into a lightweight MLP…

Vision language navigation (VLN) is very challenging for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) since small errors in 3D motion prediction can lead to navigation errors and collisions. Unable to fathom execution outcomes in 3D environments, existing methods often struggle to predict accurate navigation waypoints from language instructions. To solve this, we introduce the Prototypical Visual Imagination framework, shortened…

Institutional portfolios operate under investment policy statements that specify asset allocation constraints, often conditioned on market regime information. Deep reinforcement learning has been shown to optimize financial performance but typically does not enforce rule compliance, making it unsuitable for real-world deployment. Existing neurosymbolic methods such as Probabilistic Logic Policy Gradient (PLPG) offer…

Video diffusion models are able to generate samples with high-quality appearance and textural qualities. However, content produced by these methods is known to exhibit significant physical errors. This is because, in a classical video generation setting, all physical reasoning must take place simultaneously and exclusively within the diffusion process.We propose to resolve these issues by redistributing the task of…

Applying machine learning systems to new domains introduces bottlenecks in both labeled data acquisition and manual pipeline engineering. While recent MLE agents show promise in automating pipeline design, they have been studied almost exclusively in fully supervised settings, leaving them untested in realistic regimes where labeled data is scarce but unlabeled data is abundant. In this work, we introduce Agentic…

Given a set of LEGO parts and an image of an assembled object, our task is to infer the pose of each part to assemble the object. In contrast with traditional 3D reconstruction, doing so requires satisfying discrete physical constraints, which provide structure but render the problem combinatorial and highly sensitive to small pose errors. To learn a prior over how parts fit together, we train a set-conditioned…

Spatial intelligence requires connecting visual observations to the geometry, objects, and persistent state of an environment. Images alone leave these relationships implicit, while disconnected annotations make it difficult to study appearance, camera motion, and scene changes under a common reference. We introduce Spatial Foundry, a collection of 5,280 furnished residential 3D scene configurations with editable…
