Agent-Based Debugging Gets a Cost-Effective Alternative: Salesforce AI Presents SWERank for Accurate and Scalable Software Issue Localization
Identifying the exact location of a software issue—such as a bug or feature request—remains one of the most labor-intensive tasks in the development lifecycle. Despite advances in automated patch generation and code assistants, the process of pinpointing where in the codebase a change is needed often consumes more time than determining how to fix it.…

This AI Paper Investigates Test-Time Scaling of English-Centric RLMs for Enhanced Multilingual Reasoning and Domain Generalization
Reasoning language models, or RLMs, are increasingly used to simulate step-by-step problem-solving by generating long, structured reasoning chains. These models break down complex questions into simpler parts and build logical steps to reach answers. This chain-of-thought (CoT) approach has proven effective in improving output quality, especially in mathematical and logical tasks. Despite multilingual capabilities in…

Rethinking Toxic Data in LLM Pretraining: A Co-Design Approach for Improved Steerability and Detoxification
In the pretraining of LLMs, the quality of training data is crucial in determining model performance. A common strategy involves filtering out toxic content from the training corpus to minimize harmful outputs. While this approach aligns with the principle that neural networks reflect their training data, it introduces a tradeoff. Removing toxic content can reduce…

Reinforcement Learning, Not Fine-Tuning: Nemotron-Tool-N1 Trains LLMs to Use Tools with Minimal Supervision and Maximum Generalization
Equipping LLMs with external tools or functions has become popular, showing great performance across diverse domains. Existing research depends on synthesizing large volumes of tool-use trajectories through advanced language models and SFT to enhance LLMs’ tool-calling capability. The critical limitation lies in the synthetic datasets’ inability to capture explicit reasoning steps, resulting in superficial tool…

RL^V: Unifying Reasoning and Verification in Language Models through Value-Free Reinforcement Learning
LLMs have gained outstanding reasoning capabilities through reinforcement learning (RL) on correctness rewards. Modern RL algorithms for LLMs, including GRPO, VinePPO, and Leave-one-out PPO, have moved away from traditional PPO approaches by eliminating the learned value function network in favor of empirically estimated returns. This reduces computational demands and GPU memory consumption, making RL training…

Offline Video-LLMs Can Now Understand Real-Time Streams: Apple Researchers Introduce StreamBridge to Enable Multi-Turn and Proactive Video Understanding
Video-LLMs process whole pre-recorded videos at once. However, applications like robotics and autonomous driving need causal perception and interpretation of visual information online. This fundamental mismatch shows a limitation of current Video-LLMs, as they are not naturally designed to operate in streaming scenarios where timely understanding and responsiveness are paramount. The transition from offline to…
