• To address this issue, we propose CORAL (COncept-grounded ReAsoning with Localization), a multimodal framework that integrates spatial grounding and concept-level supervision into a unified reasoning process.
• CORAL employs a prompt-driven medical segmentation model to localize lesions and predicts multi-class clinical attributes through a Concept Bottleneck module.
• The resulting textual concept tokens are combined with mask-modulated visual features within an MLLM to enable structured report generation and diagnostic prediction.

Key details

• We study vulnerability localization: given a weakness class and an unfamiliar repository, identify the implementation files associated with that weakness.
• We introduce the Vulnerability Localization Benchmark (VLoc Bench), comprising 500 real world vulnerabilities from 290 repositories across six package ecosystems and 147 CWE categories.
• Each task pairs repository snapshots immediately before and after a security fix.
• On the vulnerable snapshot, an agent receives only the CWE description and read-only terminal access and must return the affected files; on the patched snapshot, it must determine that the recorded vulnerability is no longer present.

Bulkgrid turns websites and GitHub repositories into fresh, searchable context, with references you can verify.

What's new

Bulkgrid gives AI agents searchable knowledge from sources you choose and trust.

You can use existing public sources or index a website or GitHub repository.

Key details

• Bulkgrid will process the content, check for changes automatically and provide relevant passages with references for your AI agent.
• The sources can also be curated into collections if you have agents that are doing recurring work and need reliable knowledge for that.

  Private repositories can be connected through GitHub and stay private to your workspace.

• You can connect through MCP, REST API or TypeScript and Python SDKs or use our CLI.

  Any feedback would be welcome!

  • This repo is the story of how it all began.

arXiv:2609.12394v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mobile GUI agents are shifting from multi-module frameworks to native models trained end-to-end, yet industrial deployment faces three persistent gaps.

What's new

Every Query Evolves: a quota-driven benchmark methodology with three orthogonal axes enables precise attribution and allows the benchmark to be systematically upgraded as the model improves.

Key details

• Sandbox training produces a distribution mismatch with production environments; expensive real-device failures remain underutilized; and fixed benchmarks saturate, losing the power to guide iteration.
• We present BlueLM-GUI, a 35B-A3B mobile GUI agent built as a real-device-centric flywheel that closes these gaps through three principles.
• Every Sample Matters: a dual-track pipeline with Heterogeneous Triple-System Consensus evaluation and an Error Correction \& Derivation Module salvages every trajectory into usable supervision.
• Every Rollout Is Real: a three-stage recipe---continual pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and agentic reinforcement learning on hundreds of real phones---grounds every rollout in real production environments, so the capability the model learns transfers...
