Autoregression-Free Neural Operators for Time-Dependent PDEs

arXiv:2605.25413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural operators learn mappings from function-dependent inputs to solutions, providing an effective framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). For time-dependent PDEs, existing methods typically perform long-horizon prediction through autoregressive rollout directly in high-dimensional physical field spaces, where each predicted state is recursively fed back as the input for the next step. Although effective for short-term prediction, this autoregressive rollout and the lack of continuous-time modeling lead to progressive error accumulation over long-horizon rollouts. In this work, we propose Autoregression-Free Neural Operators (AFNO), which map the time evolution of PDEs into a latent space and model continuous-time vector fields within it. AFNO uses flow matching to learn the latent vector field, thereby enabling continuous evolution over extended horizons, avoiding autoregressive rollout and capturing dynamics under varying parameter configurations through explicit conditioning on physical parameters. Theoretical analysis and extensive experiments on six PDEs demonstrate that AFNO improves long-horizon prediction stability and consistently reduces rollout errors compared with the baselines.

AgentArk: Distilling Multi-Agent Intelligence into a Single LLM Agent

arXiv:2602.03955v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While large language model (LLM) multi-agent systems achieve superior reasoning performance through iterative debate, practical deployment is limited by their high computational cost and error propagation. This paper proposes AgentArk, a novel framework to distill multi-agent dynamics into the weights of a single model, effectively transforming explicit test-time interactions into implicit model capabilities. This equips a single agent with the intelligence of multi-agent systems while remaining computationally efficient. Specifically, we investigate three hierarchical distillation strategies across various models, tasks, scaling, and scenarios: reasoning-enhanced fine-tuning; trajectory-based augmentation; and process-aware distillation. By shifting the burden of computation from inference to training, the distilled models preserve the efficiency of one agent while exhibiting strong reasoning and self-correction performance of multiple agents. They further demonstrate enhanced robustness and generalization across diverse reasoning tasks. We hope this work can shed light on future research on efficient and robust multi-agent development.
