OpenLongTail: Generative Scaling of Long-Tail Driving Data

Lulin Liu, Nuo Chen, Yan Wang, Bangya Liu, Wenyan Cong, Hezhen Hu, et al.

Scaling robust driving policies is fundamentally bottlenecked by the scarcity of edge cases in curated datasets. While the real world continuously captures these critical events, such long-tail events remain underutilized when collected from heterogeneous sources. Specifically, d…

WildCity: A Real-World City-Scale Testbed for Rendering, Simulation, and Spatial Intelligence

Xiangyu Han, Mengyu Yang, Jiaqi Li, Bowen Chang, Ziyu Chen, Hexu Zhao, et al.

Humans can navigate an unfamiliar city and gradually form a coherent spatial mental map spanning tens of square kilometers. Can AI build spatial representations at a comparable scale? Although recent foundation models have advanced scene reconstruction and embodied intelligence,…

LLM-as-a-Verifier: A General-Purpose Verification Framework

Jacky Kwok, Shulu Li, Pranav Atreya, Yuejiang Liu, Yixing Jiang, Chelsea Finn, et al.

Scaling pre-training, post-training, and test-time compute have become the central paradigms for improving the capabilities of LLMs. In this work, we identify verification, the ability to determine the correctness of a solution, as a new scaling axis. To unlock this and demonstra…

Do Vision-Language-Action Models Mean What They Say? On the Role of Faithfulness in Embodied Reasoning

Matthew Foutter, Matteo Cercola, Lena Wild, Yunshan Wang, Michelle Li, Daniele Gammelli, et al.

Embodied Chain-of-Thought has emerged as a promising mechanism to enhance robot decision-making and interpretability in black-box Vision-Language Action (VLA) models. However, whether this verbalized Chain-of-Thought truthfully reflects the policy's underlying decision process re…

The risk of KV cache compression

Lukas Haverbeck, Carmen Amo Alonso, Andres Felipe Posada-Moreno, Sebastian Trimpe, Marco Pavone

Transformer inference on long sequences is expensive because softmax attention repeatedly reads from a large KV cache. The prevalent approach to this bottleneck is KV cache compression, which replaces the full cache with a compact summary. Despite its practical importance, the de…

A Physics-Grounded Benchmark for Multi-Agent Dynamics in World Models

Nuo Chen, Lulin Liu, Zihao Li, Ziyao Zeng, Zihao Zhu, Wenyan Cong, et al.

Generative world models hold immense promise as scalable simulators for autonomous systems, particularly for synthesizing rare but safety-critical multi-agent interactions, such as vehicle collisions. However, current evaluation paradigms index heavily on visual fidelity and sema…
