Latent-DARM: Bridging Discrete Diffusion And Autoregressive Models For Reasoning

Latent-DARM is a novel latent-space communication framework that bridges Discrete Diffusion Language Models for global planning and Autoregressive Models for fluent execution, significantly improving reasoning accuracy on benchmarks like DART-5 and AIME2024 while drastically reducing token usage compared to state-of-the-art reasoning models.

Evaluate-as-Action: Self-Evaluated Process Rewards for Retrieval-Augmented Agents

The paper proposes \textsc{EvalAct}, a framework that converts implicit retrieval quality assessment into an explicit action followed by a structured evaluation score, and leverages these process signals via a novel Process-Calibrated Advantage Rescaling (PCAR) method to significantly improve the reliability and accuracy of retrieval-augmented agents in multi-step reasoning tasks.

Abundant Intelligence and Deficient Demand: A Macro-Financial Stress Test of Rapid AI Adoption

This paper formalizes a macro-financial stress test arguing that rapid AI adoption creates a distribution-and-contract mismatch where AI-driven abundance fails to generate sufficient demand because economic institutions remain anchored to human labor scarcity, triggering a self-reinforcing cycle of income displacement, declining monetary velocity, and intermediary collapse that poses disproportionate risks to private credit and mortgage markets.
