Key details

  • This report presents the CVPR 2026@AdvML Workshop Challenge on adversarial multimodal attacks against autonomous-driving VLAs.
  • Built on DriveLM-style multi-view visual question answering, the challenge represents each scene with six synchronized camera images and a structured collection of driving-related question-answer pairs.
  • Participants generate adversarial images and suffix-only textual perturbations that induce model responses to deviate from reference answers while preserving image fidelity and limiting textual cost.
  • The competition comprises two phases, with Phase II adding a hidden black-box model to assess transferability.

  • Participants generate adversarial images and suffix-only textual perturbations that induce model responses to deviate from reference answers while preserving image fidelity and limiting textual cost.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

  • This repository is closer to a museum exhibit than a product pitch, a crustacean-run artifact kept alive by clawed gajaes, swept and labeled by agents, and automatically maintained according to the harnesses above.
  • As already described in the project philosophy, this is not meant to be hand-operated like a normal product repo.
  • It is an agent-managed exhibit: the harnesses plan, execute, verify, label, and preserve the artifact while the crabs keep the tank running.

Results & evidence

  • No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

Key details

  • Drop one into your project and let coding agents generate a matching UI.
  • Copy a DESIGN.md into your project, tell your AI agent “build me a page that looks like this,” and generate high-quality UI that stays visually consistent with the design language.
  • Built with real design depth — including analyzed patterns, tokens, and rules — for high-quality UI generation, not surface-level outputs.

What's new

We propose TENET, an agentic framework for repository-level code generation under the TDD paradigm.

Key details

  • With recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs), developers can shift from manually writing the code to defining tests as executable specifications and delegating code synthesis to AI agents.
  • However, enabling repository-level TDD under developer-written tests is challenging, requiring: (1) specification enhancement: identifying a concise yet representative test subset from large suites with rich task semantics; (2) retrieval augmentation: using...
