FrameForge adapts video models for diverse conditional image generation with input-adaptive temporal relations
FrameForge leverages pretrained video diffusion models by dynamically selecting temporal positional embeddings and introducing a latent reasoning state, achieving superior results on subject-driven generation, canny-to-image generation, and image editing benchmarks.

R²Orch improves agent orchestration via nested self-play and skill withdrawal
R²Orch introduces a recursive self-play framework with an inner loop improving an orchestrator on self-chosen tasks and an outer loop withdrawing unhelpful skills, achieving state-of-the-art results on 12 diverse benchmarks with zero-skill deployment.

Co-designing a lightweight predictor with a costly executor improves interaction efficiency toward AGI
This paper proposes a conditional interaction loop where a cheap System-1 predicts the utility of candidate interactions, gating which costly System-2 executions occur, improving compute efficiency by up to the inverse density of useful interactions, and formalizes this as a scaling coordinate.
