Counterfactual Video Generation: A Breakthrough to Reduce Hallucinations in Multimodal AI
4 days ago 高效码农Reducing Hallucinations in Multimodal Large Language Models for Video Understanding Through Counterfactual Video Generation Have you ever wondered why multimodal large language models sometimes give answers that sound logical but don’t match what’s actually happening in a video? For instance, if a video shows an object suddenly vanishing, the model might insist it’s still there, relying more on everyday common sense than on the visual evidence right in front of it. This is known as “visual ungrounded hallucinations.” In this article, we’ll explore a innovative approach that uses specially generated counterfactual videos to help these models better understand videos and …
Youtu-LLM: The Lightweight Autonomous Agent That Outthinks Larger Models
7 days ago 高效码农Youtu-LLM: When a 2B Model Learns to Think and Act What makes Youtu-LLM fundamentally different from other lightweight language models? It’s the first sub-2B model trained from scratch to be an autonomous agent, not just a chatbot—embedding planning, reflection, and tool-use directly into its neural architecture through 340 billion tokens of specialized trajectory data. In the rush to make large language models smaller, we’ve been solving the wrong problem. For two years, the dominant approach has been distillation: take a massive model like GPT-4, shrink it, and hope the magic survives. The result? Models that talk fluently but break down …

SpatialTree: Decoding the Hidden Hierarchy of Spatial Intelligence in AI
13 days ago 高效码农SpatialTree: How Spatial Abilities Hierarchically Develop in Multimodal LLMs Have you ever wondered how AI perceives the size of objects, judges distances, or predicts movement when looking at an image? In cognitive science, human spatial ability develops progressively—from basic perception to complex reasoning and real-world interaction. Yet for multimodal large language models (MLLMs), this hierarchical structure has long been poorly understood, with most research focusing on isolated tasks rather than the bigger picture. Today, we’ll explore SpatialTree—a cognitive science-inspired framework that organizes AI’s spatial abilities into four distinct layers. It also introduces the first capability-centric hierarchical benchmark, allowing us to …
ThinkARM Framework: Decoding AI’s Mathematical Reasoning Episodes
14 days ago 高效码农Decoding the Black Box of LLM Mathematical Reasoning: A Deep Dive into the ThinkARM Framework What is the fundamental problem with evaluating AI reasoning today? We obsess over final accuracy and token counts while remaining blind to the internal cognitive structure that separates effective thinking from mere text generation. The ThinkARM framework reveals that the difference between reasoning and non-reasoning models is not how much they write, but how they structure their thinking into distinct functional episodes. As reasoning models like o1 and DeepSeek-R1 dominate the headlines, we face a paradox: we’ve never had more visibility into AI thought processes, …
GTR-Turbo: Slash Vision AI Training Costs 60% Using Merged Checkpoints as Your Free Teacher

Perhaps you’re teaching an AI to play the card game “24” or complete tasks in a simulated home. The reinforcement learning (RL) process often stalls—the model learns slowly, or worse, its “thinking” collapses into repetitive, meaningless outputs. Traditionally, the solution involved hiring a “tutor”—a much larger, more powerful AI model like GPT-4 or Gemini to guide the agent at every step. While effective, this approach came with a steep price: days …

Context Engineering: Why Limiting AI Memory Makes It Smarter (The Agent Bottleneck)
16 days ago 高效码农The Paradox of Intelligence: Why Limiting an AI’s “Memory” Makes It Smarter In the 1990s, neuroscientist Antonio Damasio studied a perplexing patient. The man, named Elliot, had undergone surgery to remove a brain tumor, which accidentally damaged a small region of his prefrontal cortex. Post-surgery, his IQ scores were normal, his logical reasoning was sharp, and his memory was intact—all cognitive metrics were flawless. Yet, his life fell apart. He lost the ability to make decisions. Not because he couldn’t analyze, but because he analyzed too much. Choosing what to eat for lunch could involve a thirty-minute, detailed comparison of …

Bottom-Up Policy Optimization: The Secret to LLM Reasoning Revealed
16 days ago 高效码农What’s Hiding Inside Your LLM? A New “Bottom-Up” Perspective on Optimization Have you ever wondered what actually happens inside a large language model like ChatGPT or DeepSeek when it generates an answer? We typically view it as a black box: question in, answer out. However, a recent study titled “Your Language Model Policy Secretly Contains Internal Policies” reveals a groundbreaking discovery: An LLM is not a single, unified policy. Instead, every internal layer and module is executing its own distinct “sub-policy,” working in concert to complete the reasoning process. This research acts like a “neural CT scan,” providing the first …
