• Grab's Agent Framework LLM-Kit Accelerates AI Agent Production Deployment — Grab cut AI agent deployment time from 2 weeks to 1 hour by building LLM-Kit, an internal framework now backing 500+ services — the savings come from centralizing secrets, tracing, evaluation, and tool discovery, not from the reasoning loop itself.
• Enemray: Toward Capable Language Models for Hassaniya — Enemray is the first Hassaniya-centric language model for the Arabic dialect spoken in Mauritania, achieving the strongest English-to-Hassaniya translation among tested open and proprietary models while retaining most general capabilities on math, code, and function calling.
• FedV-KGQA in Practice: Design Lessons and an Interactive Prototype — FedV-KGQA recovers most centralized accuracy on multi-hop knowledge graph QA without sharing raw triples between organizations — accepted as a poster at ISWC 2026 with an interactive prototype demonstrating full pipeline traceability.
• Exploring Automated Vulnerability Identification in JavaScript Code Using Large Language Models — Fine-tuned LLMs dramatically outperform SAST tools at detecting JavaScript vulnerabilities: fine-tuned Gemini 1.5 Flash reaches 60% accuracy (up from 29%) versus near-zero for rule-based analyzers, with SQL injection detection hitting 84% in an empirical study of 1,125 snippets.
• Thought without systematicity? Evaluating reasoning models on rule induction tasks — A study by Schug and Lake (NYU) finds that current reasoning models consistently fail on structurally equivalent variants of tasks they can solve—exposing that model capabilities may be tightly context-bound rather than reflecting genuine systematicity, a fundamental property of human cognition.
• Confuse the Model, Control the Flow: Understanding and Mitigating Privacy Leakage from LLM Agents with Information Flow Control — FLOWSEAL enforces privacy in personal AI agents through a tool-level interceptor outside the LLM context—reducing leak rates from 52.2% to 0.5% against novel attacks that bypass all prompt-based defenses, validated on real MCP tool calls across three benchmarks.
• GraMRAG: Orchestrating Multi-Agent Multi-Step Reasoning via Graph Memory with Reinforcement Learning — GraMRAG proposes a multi-agent RAG framework that models reasoning state as a dynamic directed acyclic graph, using topology-aware policy optimization to identify critical reasoning paths—achieving state-of-the-art on complex multimodal long-horizon reasoning benchmarks.
• LPA-CWM: A Learned Physical Adjudicator for Motion Reasoning with Counterfactual World Models — LPA-CWM adds a lightweight 3M-parameter adjudicator to counterfactual world models for video motion tracking, predicting response reliability rather than using uniform aggregation—improving tracking accuracy by 60% on DAVIS and 29% on Kinetics without modifying the underlying video model.
• RA-CoA: Training-free Fashion Image Captioning via Retrieval-Augmented Chain-of-Attributes — RA-CoA improves fashion product caption quality by 26.3% on METEOR score without model fine-tuning, using retrieval from a product knowledge base to ground attribute-level reasoning in any frozen VLM—directly applicable to e-commerce catalog automation. Accepted in TMLR, code public.
• Data-free On-policy Distillation — On-policy LLM distillation is nearly data-indifferent: just 8 prompts match a 17k-problem dataset, domain doesn't matter, and teachers self-generating their own training questions outperform real external datasets — a finding that rewrites assumptions about post-training data pipelines.
