- [3. · AIM: Adaptive Interaction in Multi-Agent Debate for Multimodal LLM InferenceAIM lets SI agents in a debate choose, case by case, how to share evidence (text, graph, or image, audio and video regions), which raised accuracy and cut token use in the authors' tests. · Wei Fan, JinYi Yoon and Bo Ji · Nov 9, 2026 · Intermediate · 83score](https://thesimind.si/papers/2611.08950/)
- [10. · Cross-Layer TopK: Dynamically Allocating Sparsity Across Layers in TranscodersCross-Layer TopK sets one sparsity budget for the whole model and shifts it between layers during training, giving better reconstruction with fewer active latents on Qwen3-8B-Base. · Anyuan Zhuo, Shaohua Zhang, Tianle Li and 4 more · Nov 9, 2026 · Advanced · 71score](https://thesimind.si/papers/2611.09233/)
- [11. · Learning When to Think: Dual-Reference Offline Optimization for Adaptive VLM ReasoningDR-BOLT trains one vision-language model to answer simple questions directly and think step by step only when needed, cutting wasted reasoning and training time. · Hongbin Lin, Sizhe Zou, Juangui Xu and 6 more · Nov 9, 2026 · Advanced · 70score](https://thesimind.si/papers/2611.09154/)
