The Image as Its Own Reward: How Adversarial Reinforcement Learning Finally Fixes AI Image Generation What if the biggest problem in AI image generation isn’t the model’s ability, but how we tell it what “good” means? For years, researchers have struggled with a fundamental misalignment in reinforcement learning for text-to-image models: our reward functions keep teaching models to game the system rather than create genuinely better images. This article explores Adv-GRPO, a framework that treats images as their own reward source, eliminating reward hacking while delivering measurable improvements in quality, aesthetics, and text alignment. Why Do Existing RL Methods for …
SSA: Achieving Sparser Attention by Aligning Full and Sparse Attention Outputs in Feature Space “ When large language models process long texts, the computational cost of the attention mechanism remains a critical bottleneck for efficiency. Sparse attention reduces computational complexity by limiting the number of tokens each query can attend to, but traditional methods face an unexpected paradox: attention mechanisms designed to be sparser instead become more dispersed than full attention. Today, we dive deep into an innovative solution—SSA (Sparse Sparse Attention). Why We Need to Rethink Sparse Attention With the rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs), the demand …

Monet: Revolutionizing Visual Reasoning in AI’s Latent Space Introduction: The Quest for Human-like Visual Intelligence Imagine looking at a complex infographic and immediately understanding which data points matter most. Or glancing at a geometric diagram and intuitively seeing the solution. This human ability to “think with images” has long eluded artificial intelligence systems. While AI can now recognize objects in images with remarkable accuracy, true visual reasoning—the capacity to analyze, interpret, and draw conclusions from visual information—remains a significant challenge. Recent advances in multimodal large language models have begun to bridge this gap. These systems can process both text and …
Google’s HOPE Model Drops: A Self-Editing Neural Net That Keeps Learning After Training HOPE uses Nested Learning to update its own weights at inference time, beating Transformer, RetNet and Mamba on 10 benchmarks—with only 1.3 B parameters. Featured Snippet Q&A Q: What makes Google’s HOPE architecture different from Transformer? A: HOPE treats every layer as a nested optimizer that can modify its own weights during inference, enabling lifelong learning without catastrophic forgetting. Hook (3-second rule) Your LLM stops learning the moment you ship it. Google’s new HOPE model doesn’t. It keeps re-writing its own weights while users type—think of it …
