Research papers.
Actually understood.

Not abstracts. Deep explanations that reveal why previous approaches failed, what actually drives the results, and when the method breaks down.

Core Insight

The ONE novel idea—not what problem they solved, but the intellectual contribution that didn't exist before.

Why Previous Failed

Specific technical reasons existing approaches break. What exactly goes wrong and why.

Method Deep-Dive

Key equations with intuition. Algorithm steps. Architecture decisions and WHY they were made.

Interactive Diagrams

Click-through SVG architectures showing data flow step by step. See it, don't imagine it.

What Actually Matters

Ablation insights. Which components drive the gains, which are noise. What's cherry-picked vs robust.

Assumptions & Limits

When does this break? What conditions must hold? What did they NOT test? Hidden assumptions exposed.

MG-Nav: Dual-Scale Visual Navigation via Sparse Memory Graphs

Store sparse keyframe snapshots (not dense 3D reconstructions) as a memory graph, localize via image-to-instance hybrid retrieval, and run global planning at low frequency while local control operates at high frequency. This mimics how humans actually navigate: "I remember that corner" not "I have a point cloud of every surface."

DeepSeek-V3: Scaling Inference-Time Compute

A lightweight "lightning indexer" can learn which tokens matter for attention, reducing O(L²) to O(Lk) complexity while preserving quality. Combined with allocating >10% of pre-training compute to post-training RL, this unlocks frontier-level reasoning in open models.

ToolOrchestra: Small Orchestrators Beat Giant Models

An 8B parameter model trained with multi-objective reinforcement learning (correctness + efficiency + user preference) can orchestrate stronger models and tools to outperform GPT-5 at 30% of the cost. The key insight: the "brain" coordinating the system doesn't need to be the biggest component—it just needs to learn WHEN to call expensive resources.
