SenseNova-U1.5: Towards Native Unified Visual Intelligence
We launch SenseNova-U1.5, an 8B-MoT native unified multimodal model that understands, reasons about, and generates visual content within an encoder-free and VAE-free architecture. We strengthen its visual interface through spatially coherent patch reconstruction and scale its training with carefully curated generation and editing data, improved task formulation, structural prompt enhancement, and native resolutions of up to 4K. For post-training, we optimize specialized experts for visual aesthe
A Multi-Axion Ladder Across Cosmic History: From Inflation, BBN, and Early Dark Energy to Late-Time Accelerated Expansion
What if dark energy is recurrent throughout cosmic history? In this picture, episodes of scalar-field dark energy become less surprising and more natural features of cosmic evolution. We construct a homogeneous multi-axion cosmology with a transient contribution during Big Bang nucleosynthesis, two early dark energy components before recombination, and a thawing field that supplies the present dark-energy density. As Hubble friction weakens, the fields begin to roll at successive epochs set by t
Degeneracy along the sensorimotor hierarchy: motor control within a framework larger than redundancy
Motor control has described the surplus of solutions available to the nervous system as redundancy, a term that names duplication: interchangeable elements, robust to loss but incapable of differential adaptation. Biology has had a second term for twenty-five years. Degeneracy names elements that are not interchangeable and are nonetheless isofunctional with respect to a given output, and it supports adaptability, since non-identical elements necessarily diverge in some context. Circuit neurosci

Optimal Covariate Adjustment beyond the Average Treatment Effect: Treated-Population and Overlap-Weighted Estimands
Graphical causal inference supplies a complete theory of efficient covariate adjustment for the average treatment effect: one adjustment set, computable from the graph, is optimal under every compatible distribution. We show that this is a property of the average treatment effect's inverse-prevalence weights, not of causal estimands in general. For the average treatment effect on the treated we index the efficiency bound by the adjustment set and derive exact identities for its change under trea

GPU-CFR: 80x Faster Counterfactual Regret Minimization by Compiling the Game to Static Dataflow and CUDA Graph Replay
Counterfactual regret minimization (CFR) is one of the few large numerical workloads that still runs faster on CPUs than on GPUs. Each iteration sweeps a game tree with up to billions of states in millions of small, interdependent gather and scatter steps issued through a generic tree interface. On a GPU every kernel finishes in microseconds, so kernel launches and framework dispatch dominate the run time, and prior GPU implementations have lost to optimized CPU code. We observe that for a fixed

3 questions to ask yourself when you’re dealing with AI panic
The unbridled rise of AI spells mammoth change for businesses, but it is not a crisis. Technology doesn’t create crises—people do, especially when we panic. The artificial intelligence explosion has left many CEOs worried. Worried over falling behind, over their token usage, over job displacement, over whether their AI investments are paying off. This response is understandable, but it is precisely in these moments, when we are faced with the unknown, that effective leaders must embrace c

General Quantification of Covariate and Concept Shifts
Generalization under distribution shift remains a core challenge in modern machine learning, yet existing learning bound theory is limited to narrow, idealized settings and is non-estimable from samples. In this paper, we bridge the gap between theory and practical applications. We first show that existing definition of concept shift breaks when the source and target supports mismatch. Leveraging entropic optimal transport, we propose a key notion: $γ^{*}\!$-concept shifts, and derive a general
Theoretical Aspects of Direct Waves in Kerr Black Holes: Pole-Splitting Method for Ringdown Analysis
We formulate the theoretical aspects of direct waves (DWs) in the case of extreme-mass merger. A DW is a source-driven waveform characterized by a complex frequency $ω_{\rm G}$, which reflects the orbital motion of the particle in the vicinity of the black hole, including a part of the orbit inside the ergoregion: its real part is governed by frame dragging and its imaginary part by the redshift of the source. Using the Green's function technique, we derive the source-driven frequency $ω_{\rm G}

Effective Ionic Valence and Local Magnetic Moment in Kagome Superconductors
In order to understand the unexpected similarity and the correlated behavior in kagome superconductor families AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) and ATi$_3$Bi$_5$ (A = Rb, Cs), we investigate the Hartree-scale local electronic structure of these systems. Our result indicates that V and Ti ions are both of 2+ valence such that the corresponding itinerant carrier densities are similar, and the difference in electron count is instead reflected in their quantum fluctuating ionic magnetic moments. However
pyAvalanches: A Python Package for Analyzing Spatiotemporal Propagation in Neuronal Avalanches
The analysis of neuronal avalanches offers insights into brain dynamics utilizing the framework of criticality, but the reproducibility and comparability of studies are limited by the use of fragmented, lab-specific scripts. To address this issue, we introduce pyAvalanches, an open-source Python package providing a standardized, end-to-end pipeline for avalanche analysis from electrophysiological recordings (e.g., electroencephalography-EEG). Starting from the detection of neuronal avalanches th

Biology-in-the-loop: Amortized Adaptive Hit Discovery in CRISPR Screens
Many biological discovery problems require experiments to be selected sequentially under constrained budgets. CRISPR screening is a prominent example, as exhaustive perturbation testing is often infeasible and candidate perturbations must instead be prioritized over multiple experimental rounds. Despite the importance of this problem, existing benchmarks for adaptive hit discovery remain limited in scale and diversity. Here, we introduce AssayBench-Loop, a large-scale benchmark for adaptive hit

Generative Marketing Mix Modeling: A Causal Inference Framework Linking GEO and GEM to Business Impact
Generative artificial intelligence changes how firms reach customers, but standard marketing data do not record how often users see and notice a firm's name in generated answers. We develop Generative Marketing Mix Modeling (GMMM) to estimate the causal effects of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Generative Engine Marketing (GEM). For GEO, GMMM combines repeated generated answers with question counts, shares of use across generative systems, and notice probabilities. For GEM, it combines

Market-Informed Networks for Modeling and Forecast Evaluation of Financial Extremes
Modeling the joint distribution of extreme values in high-dimensional financial time series is challenging because extremes are sparse and locally extreme observations are not necessarily extreme relative to their full marginal distribution. To address this, we introduce a time-dependent network Hüsler-Reiss model in which market-informed adjacency matrices determine how strongly observations contribute to the estimation. We propose binary and weighted specifications, including the Joint Extreme
