This week on Hugging Face Daily Papers: world models, agentic abstention, and code without containers - Orca: The World is in Your Mind — a general world foundation model using Next-State-Prediction to unify text, image, and embodied action generation - Agentic Abstention — do LLM agents know when to stop acting? A new method improves timely abstention without any fine-tuning - Dockerless — environment-free program verifier for coding agents, scoring 62% on SWE-bench Verified without containers - Scaling the Horizon, Not the Parameters — how a 35B agent reaches trillion-parameter performance through long-horizon scaling - LiveEdit — real-time diffusion-based streaming video editing running at 12.66 FPS for interactive AR apps - Program-as-Weights — compile fuzzy functions into tiny neural artifacts that match 32B model quality with 50x less memory - BlockPilot — instance-adaptive speculative decoding for diffusion models, achieving 4.2x speedups - DOPD — Dual On-policy Distillation that fixes privilege illusion during student-teacher knowledge transfer - Does VLA Even Know the Basics? — measuring how much commonsense and world knowledge VLMs lose when becoming embodied agents - Formalizing Latent Thoughts — four axioms revealing that LLM latent representations may encode far less reasoning than we assume
