Egocentric human video offers a scalable source of manipulation priors for robot learning, yet translating raw data scale into generalizable robot policies demands rigorous data curation and training recipes. We introduce Open-HumanScale, the first fully open recipe for scaling egocentric pretraining to 50,000 hours, anchored by Open-HumanScale-50K---a curated egocentric video corpus densely annotated with hand motion and natural language. Leveraging this corpus, we systematically investigate pure human pretraining via closed-loop simulation evaluations and uncover an empirical log-linear scaling law linking pretraining data hours to downstream robot success rates. Grounded in these findings, we develop HumanWAM-Vanilla, a world--action model pretrained exclusively on 50k hours of egocentric human video. Upon robot post-training, HumanWAM-Vanilla reaches 92.08% success on RoboTwin 2.0 Clean2Clean and 68.88% on Clean2Random, alongside a 14.17% mean success rate and a 19.00 mean progress score on RoboDojo. To push the capability frontier further, we explore joint human--robot pretraining with HumanWAM-Goal, a visual-goal-conditioned world--action model. Hybrid data scaling unlocks broad zero-shot generalization across both simulation and physical benchmarks, propelling post-trained RoboTwin 2.0 performance to new state-of-the-art levels: 92.70% on Clean2Clean and a substantial leap to 84.60% on Clean2Random. On physical robots, HumanWAM-Goal further exhibits emergent embodied in-context learning, dynamically adapting its manipulation behavior to unseen visual goals without parameter updates. To support reproducible scaling research in embodied AI, we open-source the Open-HumanScale-50K corpus, data curation and pretraining pipelines, alongside the pretrained and post-trained HumanWAM checkpoints, inference code, and simulation evaluation suites.
Scaling computer-use agents from individual actions to complex software work requires experience that connects decisions to complete outcomes. We present NorthCUA, an integrated system for turbocharging computer-use agents through experience at scale. Its Experience Flywheel supplies diverse executable tasks to the NorthCUA Harness, which sustains long interactions, records decisions, and checks task outcomes. The Flywheel uses these records to curate verified trajectories. For unsolved tasks, recursive self-improvement evolves reusable skills and preserves verified milestones so later attempts build on earlier progress. Staged Learning combines this experience with grounding data from the Flywheel to develop GUI competence through mid-training and long-horizon supervised fine-tuning. The policy then learns from fresh attempts in the same Harness through joint desktop-web reinforcement learning, closing the loop between experience production and policy improvement. The resulting Nano, Mini, and Pro family achieves state-of-the-art results among open-source models across GUI grounding, desktop execution, and Web interaction under the reported evaluation settings. For more responsive Web workflows, NorthCUA-Ultrafast pairs direct action selection with open-ended generation on pre-RL Nano, offering a measured quality-latency tradeoff. Together, these advances establish NorthCUA as a high-performing model family and a reusable foundation for agents that carry complex software work from intent to completion.
Clinical interpretation of a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) often requires answering targeted diagnostic questions with clear, quantifiable decisions. We introduce ECGJev, the first ECG framework built on a decision decoder, a pretrained language model trained to return a probability for every listed option. A question-conditioned bridge compresses frozen waveform and spectrogram features into 16 ECG tokens, and a two-stage procedure adapts the bridge and low-rank adapters on the decoder's native option readout using diagnostic labels alone, scoring all options for a question in one forward pass. Evaluated across four ECG benchmarks, ECGJev achieves the highest macro-F1 on CPSC2018 (80.46%), PTB-XL (71.68%) and Chapman (96.86%), and generalizes competitively to the small-sample PTB cohort. Concept probes and perturbation analyses further show that its predictions rely directly on the ECG input, remain stable under option-order and wording variations, and transfer zero-shot to unseen waveform concepts. Our code is available at https://github.com/zhuoyuanli-lab/ECGJev.
Phylogenetic distance deconvolution represents mixture-to-reference distances by weighted sources placed on a reference tree. We study the minimum number of strictly interior sources that explains a distance profile, and what incomplete references cost. On a positive-rational reduced tree we give an exact algorithm with 2^O(K) poly(B) bit complexity for a free positive mean pendant and any nonempty set of observed leaves; the single-exponential dependence on K is tight under ETH, already with every leaf observed. With arbitrary missing references and a prescribed pendant the problem is W[1]-hard in the source budget K, even on positive binary trees supplied with a strict explanation using at most K+1 sources. We then use the algorithm as an instrument. Removing references can only lower the minimum source count, never raise it, at every error tolerance. Which references are missing then matters far more than how many. Under nearest-to-source deletion a median of two references can be erased before the generating support stops being the unique smallest explanation, and that budget stays nearly flat as the panel grows (Spearman 0.10 over 20 to 361 references, against 0.82 for random loss). Discarding 7,931 of 10,575 references from a real 16S panel at random costs 1.8% of the tolerance at which one source suffices. Discarding comparably many as whole clades costs 90%. That tolerance needs neither ground truth nor an error model, which makes the model measurable on real data. The generating configuration's worst-leaf residual exceeds the one-source optimum in all 296 real ANI cases, and in 248 after refitting the common pendant. The phenomenon is not unobservable in practice. A point estimate of the count alone does not quantify it. Methods for this problem should report the tolerance at which an explanation of a given size exists.
