Apple从零预训三模态masked diffusion模型,系统性测试了scaling law、模态混合和噪声调度,对做多模态扩散的团队直接可参考。masked diffusion正在成为自回归之外的可选路线 Agentic RL训练collapse有了系统性诊断框架:ARLArena把policy gradient拆成四个设计维度逐一消融,找到不稳定根源,比盲目换算法有效得多 SkyReels

TTT就是线性注意力,Terminal Agent数据配方开源

TTT架构被证明等价于线性注意力算子,NVIDIA团队的形式化证明将两个独立研究社区的技术积累打通,高效序列建模的设计空间大幅缩减 终端Agent的训练数据工程首次系统公开:从种子任务生成到技能组合、训练策略对比,全套数据集和模型权重开源。8B模型准确率从2.5%跳到13.0% RL训练视觉Agent的「偷懒」难题有了工程方案,过采样+累积工具奖励的组合有效遏制interaction collap
