Emergent Language as an Approach to Conscious AI

arXiv:2606.06380v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The question of whether artificial systems can be conscious remains open, in part because existing approaches either evaluate systems against theory-derived checklists (discriminative) or engineer consciousness-inspired modules directly (architectural); both leave open whether observed structures…

OrderGrad: Optimizing Beyond the Mean with Order-Statistic Policy Gradient Estimation

arXiv:2606.06096v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Policy-gradient methods usually optimize expected return, but many real world applications care about distributional properties of returns: tail risk, outlier robustness, or best-of-K discovery. We introduce OrderGrad, a family of likelihood-ratio and reparameterization gradient estimators…

Brick-Composer: Using MLLMs for Assembly with Diverse Bricks

arXiv:2606.05445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We dream of AI agents that can read arbitrary designs and construct real-world objects from reusable building blocks. As a first step toward this vision, we study whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) possess the…

Insurance of Agentic AI

arXiv:2606.05449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems are transforming the risk landscape by extending beyond information generation to autonomous planning, tool invocation, decision execution, and persistent modification of digital and physical environments. These capabilities introduce novel exposures…

MUSE: Benchmarking Manufacturable, Functional, and Assemblable Text-to-CAD Generation

arXiv:2605.28579v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have recently advanced text-driven 3D generation, yet Text-to-CAD remains far from supporting industrial product design. Existing benchmarks focus primarily on generating single-part CAD models and evaluate them using geometric similarity metrics…
