WeAct: Dynamic Weight Switching as Agent Actions

Abstract

Long-horizon agents must learn heterogeneous capabilities from interleaved trajectories. Updating shared parameters to learn new capabilities can degrade previously acquired ones, resulting in catastrophic forgetting. As a trajectory unfolds, different stages may require different capabilities, yet conventional joint training and static adapter merging maintain a fixed parameter configuration throughout execution. We introduce WeAct (Weight-level Internal Actions), which trains independent capability-specific LoRA adapters over a frozen backbone and adds adapter selection to the agent's action space. These internal actions use the model's native tool-calling interface for on-demand capability composition in a shared context. Across eight deep-research benchmarks, Qwen3-32B with WeAct improves average accuracy by 6.2% relative to full fine-tuning counterparts despite using less compute, and by 27.5% relative to the strongest static LoRA-merging method. WeAct also supports modular continual adaptation, by adding a new code computation adapter to expand the agent's capabilities and updating the existing writing adapter to improve report quality. Both updates leave the backbone and other adapters unchanged, supporting modular continual adaptation in agents.

FiTv2: Scalable and Improved Flexible Vision Transformer for Diffusion Model

\textit{Nature is infinitely resolution-free}. In the context of this reality, existing diffusion models, such as Diffusion Transformers, often face challenges when processing image resolutions outside of their trained domain. To address this limitation, we conceptualize images as sequences of tokens with dynamic sizes, rather than traditional methods that perceive images as fixed-resolution grids. This perspective enables a flexible training strategy that seamlessly accommodates various aspect ratios during both training and inference, thus promoting resolution generalization and eliminating biases introduced by image cropping. On this basis, we present the \textbf{Flexible Vision Transformer} (FiT), a transformer architecture specifically designed for generating images with \textit{unrestricted resolutions and aspect ratios}. We further upgrade the FiT to FiTv2 with several innovative designs, includingthe Query-Key vector normalization, the AdaLN-LoRA module, a rectified flow scheduler, and a Logit-Normal sampler. Enhanced by a meticulously adjusted network structure, FiTv2 exhibits $2\times$ convergence speed of FiT. When incorporating advanced training-free extrapolation techniques, FiTv2 demonstrates remarkable adaptability in both resolution extrapolation and diverse resolution generation. Additionally, our exploration of the scalability of the FiTv2 model reveals that larger models exhibit better computational efficiency. Furthermore, we introduce an efficient post-training strategy to adapt a pre-trained model for the high-resolution generation. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the exceptional performance of FiTv2 across a broad range of resolutions. We have released all the codes and models at https://github.com/whlzy/FiT to promote the exploration of diffusion transformer models for arbitrary-resolution image generation.

Double-Diffusion: Balancing Speed, Accuracy, and Uncertainty in Probabilistic Forecasting for Urban Sensor Networks

Urban sensor networks need forecasts that are accurate, carry useful uncertainty, and refresh fast enough to act on as new readings arrive. These goals conflict: deterministic models give no distribution, while diffusion forecasters model uncertainty but denoise from pure noise over many steps. We present Double-Diffusion, which integrates a closed-form graph-heat prior into a denoising diffusion model. The prior is a parameter-free low-pass forecast over the sensor graph, and it serves two roles: it is the residual target the model generates, and it conditions the denoiser. The reverse process therefore starts near the prior and denoises a short warm-started chain instead of synthesizing from pure noise; the name denotes this composition, a graph diffusion feeding a denoising diffusion. A compact denoiser, DD-Net, is trained as a Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) in the Resfusion warm-start formulation, so generation refines the prior over a short truncated chain rather than synthesizing from pure noise; a graph-spectral read-out of the prior residual sets its switchable spatial filter per domain from training data alone. On four real-world air quality and traffic networks, Double-Diffusion attains the best CRPS of all probabilistic methods on every dataset and stays competitive in point accuracy with the strongest baselines, at a fraction of the sampling cost of from-noise diffusion. The code is available at: https://github.com/teddyicare/Double-Diffusion

Optimized Weight Initialization on the Stiefel Manifold for Deep ReLU Neural Networks

Stable and efficient training of ReLU networks with large depth is highly sensitive to weight initialization. Improper initialization can cause permanent neuron inactivation dying ReLU and exacerbate gradient instability as network depth increases. Methods such as He, Xavier, and orthogonal initialization preserve variance or promote approximate isometry. However, they do not necessarily regulate the pre-activation mean or control activation sparsity, and their effectiveness often diminishes in very deep architectures. This work introduces a semi-orthogonal initialization specifically optimized for ReLU by solving an optimization problem on the Stiefel manifold, thereby preserving scale and calibrating the pre-activation statistics from the outset. A family of closed-form solutions and an efficient sampling scheme are derived. Theoretical analysis at initialization shows that the proposed initialization mitigates dying ReLU, slows the decay of activation variance, and alleviates gradient vanishing, thereby stabilizing signal and gradient flow in deep architectures. Empirically, across MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, multiple tabular datasets, few-shot settings, and ReLU-family activations, the proposed initialization maintains stable performance as network depth increases, with particularly clear advantages in few-shot learning and large-depth settings.
