🧠Researchers introduce S³ (Stratified Scaling Search), a test-time scaling method for diffusion language models that improves output quality by reallocating compute during the denoising process rather than simple best-of-K sampling. The technique uses a lightweight verifier to evaluate and selectively resample candidate trajectories at each step, demonstrating consistent performance gains across mathematical reasoning and knowledge tasks without requiring model retraining.

🧠Researchers introduce a framework for studying how emotional states affect decision-making in small language models (SLMs) used as autonomous agents. Using activation steering techniques grounded in real-world emotion-eliciting texts, they benchmark SLMs across game-theoretic scenarios and find that emotional perturbations systematically influence strategic choices, though behaviors often remain unstable and misaligned with human patterns.
