Across a broad set of retrieval methods, general coding agents, and specialized localizers, we find that agentic explorers form a clear tier above classical retrieval.

Key details

• Yet they usually treat coding tasks as a holistic, binary prediction problem (e.g., resolved or unresolved), neglecting fine-grained agent capabilities such as repository understanding, context retrieval, code localization, and bug diagnosis.
• In this paper, we introduce SWE-Explore, a benchmark that isolates the evaluation of repository exploration, a critical capability of coding agents.

• First, we train an AudioVAE with multiple objectives to build a semantically structured and prediction-friendly continuous speech space.
• Second, we use full-history conditioning in the flow-matching head to preserve long-range consistency and reduce drift during generation.
• Third, we apply reward-free self-corrective post-training to the flow-matching head to further improve robustness and acoustic quality.

• After being trained on a large-scale multilingual corpus, dots.tts achieves the best average performance on Seed-TTS-Eval, with WERs of 0.94%/1.30%/6.60% and SIM scores of 81.0/77.1/79.5 on the zh/en/zh-hard test sets, respectively.
• For efficient inference, we further apply CFG-aware MeanFlow distillation, enabling low-latency speech generation with first-packet latencies of 85/54 ms in output streaming and dual-streaming modes, respectively.

To address this, we propose RePo, a novel mechanism that alleviates the burden for attention layers via context re-positioning.

Key details

• The rigid position information poses the full burden of organizing the input structure to attention layers, thus reducing the amount of attention that could be allocated for more critical information.
• To address this, we propose RePo, a novel mechanism that alleviates the burden for attention layers via context re-positioning.
• Unlike conventional approaches, RePo utilizes a differentiable module, $f_\phi$, to assign token positions that capture contextual dependencies, rather than replying on pre-defined order.
• By continually pre-training on the OLMo-2 1B \& 7B models, we demonstrate that RePo consistently enhances performance on tasks involving noisy contexts, structured data, and longer context length, while maintaining competitive performance on general short-c...
