1. LoREnc: Low-Rank Encryption for Securing Foundation Models and LoRA Adapters
Foundation models and low-rank adapters enable efficient on-device generative AI but raise risks such as intellectual property leakage and model recovery attacks. Existing defenses are often impractical because they require retraining or access to the original dataset. We propose LoREnc, a training-free framework that secures both FMs and adapters via spectral truncation and compensation. LoREnc suppresses dominant low-rank components of FM weights, compensates for the missing information in authorized adapters, and further applies orthogonal reparameterization to obscure structural fingerprints of the protected adapter. Unauthorized users produce structurally collapsed outputs, while authorized users recover exact performance. Experiments demonstrate that LoREnc provides strong protection against model recovery with under 1% computational overhead.

2. AutoRubric-T2I: Robust Rule-Based Reward Model for Text-to-Image Alignment
Aligning Text-to-Image (T2I) generation models with human preferences increasingly relies on image reward models that score or rank generated images according to prompt alignment and perceptual quality. Existing reward models are commonly trained as Bradley-Terry (BT) preference models on large-scale human preference corpora, making them costly to train, difficult to adapt, and opaque in their evaluation criteria. Meanwhile, Vision-Language Model (VLM) judges can provide more fine-grained assessments through textual rubrics, but their manually designed or heuristically generated scoring rules may fail to reliably reflect human preferences. In this paper, we propose AutoRubric-T2I, the first rubric learning framework in T2I that automatically synthesizes and selects explicit rubrics for guiding VLM judges. AutoRubric-T2I first synthesizes reasoning traces from preference pairs into candidate rubrics, then uses a VLM judge to score paired images under each rubric, producing pairwise rubric-score differences for preference learning. To remove noisy and redundant rules, we further employ a ell_1-Regularized Logistic Regression Refiner, which selects the Top-N most discriminative rubrics. Extensive evaluations show that AutoRubric-T2I produces high-quality, interpretable reward signals using less than 0.01% of the annotated preference data, substantially reducing the need for large-scale reward-model training. On image reward benchmarks such as MMRB2, AutoRubric-T2I outperforms strong reward model baselines. We further validate AutoRubric-T2I as an RL reward on downstream T2I tasks, including TIIF and UniGenBench++, where it improves generation quality over scalar reward models using the Flow-GRPO pipeline on diffusion models.

3. Live Music Diffusion Models: Efficient Fine-Tuning and Post-Training of Interactive Diffusion Music Generators
Interactive streaming music generation promises the use of generative models for live performance and co-creation that is impossible with offline models. However, SOTA models exist in the discrete-AR regime, requiring industrial levels of compute for both training and inference. In this work, we investigate whether audio diffusion models, with their wide support in the open-source community but non-streaming bidirectional nature, can be repurposed efficiently into interactive models accessible on consumer hardware. By taking a critical look at the modern pipeline for block-wise outpainting diffusion, we identify critical inefficiencies during inference that result in strictly worse computational efficiency than their discrete-AR counterparts. We propose Live Music Diffusion Models (LMDMs), a simple modification of the generative diffusion process that recovers, and then outperforms, the inference complexity of the discrete Live Music Models (LMMs) through block-wise KV Caching. Unlike LMMs, LMDMs further enable stable post-training alignment through our novel ARC-Forcing paradigm, reducing error accumulation without any explicit RL or reward models. We demonstrate the application of LMDMs in a number of creative domains, including text-conditioned generation, sketch-based music synthesis, and jamming. We finally show how LMDMs can be used as a generative instrument in a real artist-AI collaboration, utilizing LMDMs as a "generative delay" to transform musicians' improvisation live for variable timbral effects while running locally on a consumer gaming laptop.

4. Rule2DRC: Benchmarking LLM Agents for DRC Script Synthesis with Execution-Guided Test Generation
Manufacturable chip layouts must satisfy thousands of geometry-based design rules, and design rule checking (DRC) enforces them by running executable DRC scripts on layouts. Translating natural language rules into correct DRC scripts is labor-intensive and requires specialized expertise, motivating LLM agents for DRC script synthesis and debugging. However, existing benchmarks have small evaluation sets and often evaluate scripts by code similarity rather than execution correctness, and prior machine learning-based methods either ignore execution feedback or require labeled test layouts as agent's input. To this end, we introduce Rule2DRC, a large-scale benchmark for DRC script coding agents with 1,000 rule-to-script tasks and 13,921 evaluation chip layouts for execution-based scoring. Rule2DRC provides an evaluation pipeline that measures functional correctness via DRC execution outcomes without requiring evaluation layouts as input to the agent. We also propose SplitTester, a tester agent for program selection that uses execution feedback to generate discriminative test cases and separate previously indistinguishable candidate scripts, substantially improving Best-of-N selection performance in this domain. We release the code at https://github.com/snu-mllab/Rule2DRC.

5. Forecasting Scientific Progress with Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in scientific discovery, yet whether it can anticipate scientific progress remains unclear. To study this question, we introduce a temporally grounded evaluation framework for forecasting scientific progress under controlled knowledge constraints. We present CUSP (Cutoff-conditioned Unseen Scientific Progress), a multi-disciplinary and event-level benchmark that evaluates scientific forecasting in AI systems through feasibility assessment, mechanistic reasoning, generative solution design, and temporal prediction. Across 4,760 scientific events, we observe systematic and domain-dependent limitations in current frontier models. While models can identify plausible research directions from competing candidates, they fail to reliably predict whether scientific advances will be realized and systematically misestimate when they will occur. Performance is highly heterogeneous across domains, with the timing of AI progress more predictable than advances in biology, chemistry, and physics. Performance is largely insensitive to whether events occur before or after the training cutoff, suggesting these limitations cannot be explained solely by knowledge exposure in training data. Under controlled information access, additional pre-cutoff knowledge improves performance but does not close the gap to full-information settings, which becomes more pronounced for high-citation advances. Models also exhibit systematic overconfidence and strong response biases, indicating unreliable uncertainty estimation. Taken together, current AI systems fall short as predictive tools for scientific progress. Access to prior knowledge does not translate into reliable forecasting, and performance benefits more from post-event information than from forward-looking prediction.

6. SAM 3D Animal: Promptable Animal 3D Reconstruction from Images in the Wild
3D animal reconstruction in the wild remains challenging due to large species variation, frequent occlusions, and the prevalence of multi-animal scenes, while existing methods predominantly focus on single-animal settings. We present SAM 3D Animal, the first promptable framework for multi-animal 3D reconstruction from a single image. Built on the SMAL+ parametric animal model, our method jointly reconstructs multiple instances and supports flexible prompts in the form of keypoints and masks which enable more reliable disambiguation in crowded and occluded scenes. To train such a model, we further introduce Herd3D, a multi-animal 3D dataset containing over 5K images, designed to increase diversity in species, interactions, and occlusion patterns. Experiments on the Animal3D, APTv2, and Animal Kingdom datasets show that our framework achieves state-of-the-art results over both existing model-based and model-free methods, demonstrating a scalable and effective solution for prompt-driven animal 3D reconstruction in the wild.

7. Efficient Agentic Reasoning Through Self-Regulated Simulative Planning
How should an agent decide when and how to plan? A dominant approach builds agents as reactive policies with adaptive computation (e.g., chain-of-thought), trained end-to-end expecting planning to emerge implicitly. Without control over the presence, structure, or horizon of planning, these systems dramatically increase reasoning length, yielding inefficient token use without reliable accuracy gains. We argue efficient agentic reasoning benefits from decomposing decision-making into three systems: simulative reasoning (System II) grounding deliberation in future-state prediction via a world model; self-regulation (System III) deciding when and how deeply to plan via a learned configurator; and reactive execution (System I) handling fine-grained action. Simulative reasoning provides unified planning across diverse tasks without per-domain engineering, while self-regulation ensures the planner is invoked only when needed. To test this, we develop SR^2AM (Self-Regulated Simulative Reasoning Agentic LLM), realizing both as distinct stages within an LLM's chain-of-thought, with the LLM as world model. We explore two instantiations: recording decisions from a prompted multi-module system (v0.1) and reconstructing structured plans from traces of pretrained reasoning LLMs (v1.0), trained via supervised then reinforcement learning (RL). Across math, science, tabular analysis, and web information seeking, v0.1-8B and v1.0-30B achieve Pass@1 competitive with 120-355B and 685B-1T parameter systems respectively, while v1.0-30B uses 25.8-95.3% fewer reasoning tokens than comparable agentic LLMs. RL increases average planning horizon by 22.8% while planning frequency grows only 2.0%, showing it learns to plan further ahead rather than more often. More broadly, learned self-regulation instantiates a principle we expect to extend beyond planning to how agents govern their own learning and adaptation.

8. Platonic Representations in the Human Brain: Unsupervised Recovery of Universal Geometry
The Strong Platonic Representation Hypothesis suggests that representational convergence in artificial neural networks can be harnessed constructively: embeddings can be translated across models through a universal latent space without paired data. We ask whether an analogous geometry can be recovered across human brains. Using fMRI data from the Natural Scenes Dataset, we propose a self-supervised encoder that learns subject-specific embeddings from brain data alone by exploiting repeated stimulus presentations. We show that these independently learned spaces can be translated across subjects using unsupervised orthogonal rotations, without paired cross-subject samples or intermediate model representations. Synchronizing pairwise rotations into a single shared latent space further improves cross-subject retrieval, indicating that subject-specific spaces are mutually compatible with a common coordinate system. These results provide evidence for a shared neural geometry in the human visual cortex: subject-specific fMRI representations are approximately isometric across individuals and can be translated through purely geometric transformations.
