JavisGPT: A Unified Multi-modal LLM for Sounding-Video Comprehension and Generation

This paper presents JavisGPT, the first unified multimodal large language model (MLLM) for joint audio-video (JAV) comprehension and generation. JavisGPT has a concise encoder-LLM-decoder architecture, which has a SyncFusion module for spatio-temporal audio-video fusion and synchrony-aware learnable queries to bridge a pretrained JAV-DiT generator. This design enables temporally coherent video-audio understanding and generation from multimodal instructions. We design an effective three-stage training pipeline consisting of multimodal pretraining, audio-video fine-tuning, and large-scale instruction-tuning, to progressively build multimodal comprehension and generation from existing vision-language models. For instruction tuning, we construct JavisInst-Omni, a high-quality instruction dataset with over 200K GPT-4o-curated audio-video-text dialogues that cover diverse and multi-level comprehension and generation scenarios. On JAV comprehension and generation benchmarks, our experiments show that JavisGPT outperforms existing MLLMs, particularly in complex and temporally synchronized settings.

MegaFlow: Large-Scale Distributed Orchestration System for the Agentic Era

The rapid development of interactive and autonomous AI systems signals our entry into the agentic era. Training and evaluating agents on complex agentic tasks such as software engineering and computer use requires not only efficient model computation but also sophisticated infrastructure capable of coordinating vast agent-environment interactions. However, no open-source infrastructure can effectively support large-scale training and evaluation on such complex agentic tasks. To address this challenge, we present MegaFlow, a large-scale distributed orchestration system that enables efficient scheduling, resource allocation, and fine-grained task management for agent-environment workloads. MegaFlow abstracts agent training infrastructure into three independent services (Model Service, Agent Service, and Environment Service) that interact through unified interfaces, enabling independent scaling and flexible resource allocation across diverse agent-environment configurations. In our agent training deployments, MegaFlow successfully orchestrates tens of thousands of concurrent agent tasks while maintaining high system stability and achieving efficient resource utilization. By enabling such large-scale agent training, MegaFlow addresses a critical infrastructure gap in the emerging agentic AI landscape.

Nip Rumors in the Bud: Retrieval-Guided Topic-Level Adaptation for Test-Time Fake News Video Detection

Fake News Video Detection (FNVD) is critical for social stability. Existing methods typically assume consistent news topic distribution between training and test phases, failing to detect fake news videos tied to emerging events and unseen topics. To bridge this gap, we introduce RADAR, the first framework that enables test-time adaptation to unseen news videos. RADAR pioneers a new retrieval-guided adaptation paradigm that leverages stable (source-close) videos from the target domain to guide robust adaptation of semantically related but unstable instances. Specifically, we propose an Entropy Selection-Based Retrieval mechanism that provides videos with stable (low-entropy), relevant references for adaptation. We also introduce a Stable Anchor-Guided Alignment module that explicitly aligns unstable instances' representations to the source domain via distribution-level matching with their stable references, mitigating severe domain discrepancies. Finally, our novel Target-Domain Aware Self-Training paradigm can generate informative pseudo-labels augmented by stable references, capturing varying and imbalanced category distributions in the target domain and enabling RADAR to adapt to the fast-changing label distributions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RADAR achieves superior performance for test-time FNVD, enabling strong on-the-fly adaptation to unseen fake news video topics.

Variance-aware Reward Modeling with Anchor Guidance

Standard Bradley--Terry (BT) reward models are limited when human preferences are pluralistic. Although soft preference labels preserve disagreement information, BT can only express it by shrinking reward margins. Gaussian reward models provide an alternative by jointly predicting a reward mean and a reward variance, but suffer from a fundamental non-identifiability from pairwise preferences alone. We propose Anchor-guided Variance-aware Reward Modeling, a framework that resolves this non-identifiability by augmenting preference data with two coarse response-level anchor labels. Building on this, we prove that two anchors are sufficient for identification, develop a joint training objective and establish a non-asymptotic convergence rate for both the estimated reward mean and variance functions. Across simulation studies and four real-world diverging-preference datasets, our method consistently improves reward modeling performance and downstream RLHF, including PPO training and best-of-$N$ selection.

Why Self-Inconsistency Arises in GNN Explanations and How to Exploit It

Recent work has observed that explanations produced by Self-Interpretable Graph Neural Networks (SI-GNNs) can be self-inconsistent: when the model is reapplied to its own explanatory graph subset, it may produce a different explanation. However, why self-inconsistency arises remains poorly understood. In this work, we first identify re-explanation-induced context perturbation as the direct cause of score variation. We then introduce a latent signal assignment hypothesis to explain why only some edges are sensitive to this perturbation, and analyze how conciseness regularization affects latent signal assignment. Given that self-inconsistent edges do not provide stable evidence for the model's prediction, we propose Self-Denoising (SD), a model-agnostic and training-free post-processing strategy that calibrates explanations with only one additional forward pass. Experiments across representative SI-GNN frameworks, backbone architectures, and benchmark datasets support our hypothesis and show that SD consistently improves explanation quality while adding only about 4--6\% computational overhead in practice.
