Precise genome editing of the rice strigolactone receptor DWARF14 confers robust, transgene-free antiviral resistance by blocking viral suppression of endogenous RNA silencing, offering a promising strategy for durable disease protection without a yield penalty.

arXiv:2603.29500v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated impressive performance on complex, multi-step reasoning tasks, especially when post-trained with outcome-rewarded reinforcement learning Guo et al. 2025. However, it has been observed that outcome rewards often overlook flawed intermediate steps, leading to unreliable reasoning steps even when final answers are correct. To address this unreliable reasoning, we propose PRoSFI (Process Reward over Structured Formal Intermediates), a novel reward method that enhances reasoning reliability without compromising accuracy. Instead of generating formal proofs directly, which is rarely accomplishable for a modest-sized (7B) model, the model outputs structured intermediate steps aligned with its natural language reasoning. Each step is then verified by a formal prover. Only fully validated reasoning chains receive high rewards. The integration of formal verification guides the model towards generating step-by-step machine-checkable proofs, thereby yielding more credible final answers. PRoSFI offers a simple and effective approach to training trustworthy reasoning models.

In a phase 1 trial, the in vivo generation of anti-BCMA CAR-T cells by lentiviral delivery was feasible and did not lead to dose-limiting toxicities in five patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

arXiv:2510.05109v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) are inherently modular, consisting of vision and audio encoders, projectors, and large language models. Yet, they are almost always executed monolithically, which underutilizes the heterogeneous accelerators (NPUs, GPUs, DSPs) in modern SoCs and leads to high end-to-end latency. In this paper, we present NANOMIND, a hardware--software co-design inference framework for Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) that breaks large models into modular ``bricks'' (vision, language, audio, etc.) and maps each to its ideal accelerator. The key insight is that large models can be broken into modular components and scheduled to run on the most appropriate compute units. It performs module-level dynamic offloading across accelerators on unified-memory SoCs. By combining customized hardware design, system-level scheduling, and optimized low-bit computation kernels, we demonstrate our framework with a compact, battery-powered device capable of running LMMs entirely on device. This prototype functions as a self-contained intelligent assistant that requires no network connectivity, while achieving higher throughput and superior power efficiency under strict resource constraints. The design further bypasses CPU bottlenecks and reduces redundant memory usage through token-aware buffer management and module-level coordination. Our system outperforms existing implementations in resource efficiency, cutting energy consumption by 42.3\% and GPU memory usage by 11.2\%. This enables a battery-powered device to run LLaVA-OneVision with a camera for nearly 20.8 hours.

arXiv:2511.01743v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advancements in large artificial intelligence models (LAMs) are driving significant innovations in mobile edge computing within next-generation wireless networks. However, the substantial demands for computational resources and larges-cale training data required to train LAMs conflict with the limited storage and computational capacity of edge devices, posing significant challenges to training and deploying LAMs at the edge. In this work, we introduce the Networked Mixture-of-Experts (NMoE) system, in which clients perform inference collaboratively by distributing tasks to suitable neighbors based on their expertise and aggregate the returned results. For training the NMoE, we propose a federated learning framework that integrates both supervised and self-supervised learning to balance personalization and generalization, while preserving communication efficiency and data privacy. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed NMoE system, providing insights for the NMoE training algorithms.

arXiv:2602.19455v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Time-series diagnostic reasoning is essential for many applications, yet existing solutions face a persistent gap: general reasoning large language models (GRLMs) possess strong reasoning skills but lack the domain-specific knowledge to understand complex time-series patterns. Conversely, fine-tuned time-series LLMs (TSLMs) understand these patterns but lack the capacity to generalize reasoning for more complicated questions. To bridge this gap, we propose a hybrid knowledge-injection framework that injects TSLM-generated insights directly into GRLM's reasoning trace, thereby achieving strong time-series reasoning with in-domain knowledge. As collecting data for knowledge injection fine-tuning is costly, we further leverage a reinforcement learning-based approach with verifiable rewards (RLVR) to elicit knowledge-rich traces without human supervision, then transfer such an in-domain thinking trace into GRLM for efficient knowledge injection. We further release SenTSR-Bench, a multivariate time-series-based diagnostic reasoning benchmark collected from real-world industrial operations. Across SenTSR-Bench and other public datasets, our method consistently surpasses TSLMs by 9.1%-26.1% and GRLMs by 7.9%-22.4%, delivering robust, context-aware time-series diagnostic insights.
