Memory beyond retrieval
Latent memory, long-horizon control, and direct decision scoring.

Top 3 papers
Tracked since posting
- Long-WAM: Scaling the Context of World-Action Models→
Unlike bidirectionally adapted WAMs, it preserves causal video pretraining, enabling 19.2-second histories to improve control.
- YuE2: Unifying Symbolic and Audio Music Generation at Frontier Quality→
Unlike end-to-end audio models, it explicitly plans readable scores before full-song rendering.
- TabFM: A Zero-Shot Foundation Model for Tabular Data→
A 400M model trained only on synthetic SCM tables beats tuned AutoGluon zero-shot.
- Previous leaderNCP-ArchPreview Technical Report: Moving towards Latent Space Language Models through Next Concept Prediction→

Top 3 repos
Tracked since posting
- MemTensor/MemT-1.0→
Unlike retrieval-style agent memory, it persists latent session state directly, cutting 128K-history storage about 66×.
- OpenMOSS/MOSS-Image→
Unlike most open text-to-image releases, it combines JSON layout control, readable text rendering, and 4K-token prompts in a public 5B DiT with fine-tuning support.
- nokia-applied-research/AnyJev→
Unlike recent typed-decision repos, it retrofits open LLMs into calibrated classifiers from one prefill, boosting BANKING77 auto-decidable coverage 7.7%→52.0% at ≤5% error.

Tracked since posting
- MykolaL/FBIS-73M→
It pairs 74.0M field-instance masks with a 100-country zero-shot split for cross-country generalization.
- hongzhuyi/VDEBench→
Targets dense bilingual document-image editing with region masks and seven text/table edit types.
- 2077AIDataFoundation/TouchScale→
Unlike recent egocentric manipulation datasets, it adds synchronized 880-taxel full-hand tactile gloves across 100 released human-demonstration hours.
