High-resolution video generation is expensive, as its cost grows rapidly with the number of spatiotemporal tokens. A practical alternative first generates a lower-resolution video and then applies a refiner, but conventional multi-step refinement introduces a second sampling bottleneck. We present SoL-Refiner, a one-step video refiner that transforms low-resolution model outputs into 4K videos with a single denoising step. Our three-stage recipe combines high-resolution continual training, reinforcement learning (RL) post-training, and a final one-step distillation. We introduce Refiner-Bench, a video refinement benchmark constructed from the outputs of different video generators, and use a shared-input protocol to compare refiners at approximately 2K output resolution. With LTX-2.3 Refiner as the base model, the one-step SoL-Refiner outperforms all external refiners at 2K on the VBench and UniPercept averages, while at $3840\!\times\!2176$ it improves both metrics over the three-step LTX-2.3 Refiner. With the complete acceleration stack, SoL-Refiner achieves an $8.91\times$ speedup in refinement latency over the same baseline in our 2K latency setting. With MiniMax H3 as the base model, SoL-Refiner produces 2K videos in three refinement steps and is preferred over the official MiniMax H3 2K API in 87% of user-study judgments.
Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly learn through interaction, yet their training process often evolves unevenly: the policy changes with experience while the learning environment continues to provide largely fixed forms of support. As training progresses, this creates a growing mismatch between what the agent currently struggles with and what its learning process emphasizes. We call this phenomenon Agent-Learning Environment Misalignment (ALEM). We introduce SEAL, a framework for synergistic co-evolution of agents and learning environments. SEAL turns verifier-grounded execution failures into a shared diagnostic signal that coordinates two complementary forms of adaptation: it reshapes the support available in subsequent interactions and adjusts how the policy learns from collected trajectories. In this way, the learning environment follows the agent's evolving failure profile while both sides remain grounded in the same executable feedback. Across three backbones on BFCL V3, SEAL consistently improves over matched Vanilla RL, reaching 40.25% versus 30.75% with Qwen2.5-7B. A matched factorial ablation further yields a +5.00-point interaction estimate for the coupled configuration. The same trained checkpoints also show positive transfer to the evaluated BFCL V4 and $τ^2$-bench domains. These results suggest that coordinating how an agent learns with the environment it learns from is a promising direction for self-evolving tool-use agents.

An action seen once and the same action seen three times receive the same action-recognition label, so that supervision does not require a model to count. Answers shared across histories that differ in event order, accumulation, or relations leave those distinctions unconstrained; we call this state under-specification. Visible-State Supervision (ViSS) addresses it by training on source-grounded probes of event identity, order, accumulation, relation change, and answer sufficiency; under the same recent-frame interface it improves OVO-Bench over a strict-matched generic temporal supervision baseline while remaining comparable on StreamingBench, with the largest gain in hallucination detection. Test-Time Causal View Search (TVS) then adapts evidence access while keeping the learned model fixed, expanding from recent frames to sparse event and compact history views on demand. The two interventions separate representation from view selection: supervision particularly benefits hallucination detection and causal reasoning, access particularly benefits event recall and forward reasoning. Together they reach the best reported accuracy among the published systems compared here on StreamingBench and OVO-Bench at a fraction of the processed frames of exhaustive selection, and strict replay shows that most of the remaining gap to a three-view oracle is a correct answer that was later replaced. Streaming accuracy depends on what supervision asks the model to keep, what evidence inference exposes, and whether the model keeps a correct answer once it has one.

Despite rapid advances in large language models (LLMs), their deployment in the sports and health domain remains high-risk due to the absence of domain-specific evaluation benchmarks. Existing general-purpose benchmarks (e.g., MMLU and HELM) primarily assess broad knowledge and reasoning capabilities, but fail to capture critical domain requirements such as exercise safety, physiological appropriateness, personalization, and actionable coaching quality. This gap is particularly concerning in fitness and health applications, where incorrect or unsafe recommendations can lead to physical harm. To address this limitation, we introduce MoveBench, the first comprehensive benchmarking framework specifically designed for evaluating LLMs in sports and health coaching. The proposed benchmark integrates heterogeneous task formats, including multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and open-ended question answering (OpenQA), grounded in real-world user scenarios and paired with structured rubrics emphasizing safety compliance, scientific validity, and training logic. Through large-scale evaluation of 15 diverse LLMs on 809 questions with 5,012 rubric-level criteria, our results reveal substantial performance variability, particularly in safety awareness, structured program design, and personalization capability, highlighting a critical gap between knowing and doing. Our work establishes a foundational evaluation standard for sports and health LLM applications and provides a reproducible framework for advancing safe, reliable, and context-aware AI-driven coaching systems.

Training a spatial VLM to answer which side an object lies on does not require it to preserve the metric displacement that determines that answer, while supervision for a distance estimate may leave categorical relations largely unconstrained. When post-training emphasizes one readout, improvements can therefore concentrate on that interface while transfer to others remains weak or even degrades; we call this observed specialization interface lock-in. ChronoReplay addresses it by replaying heterogeneous spatial supervision as chronologically ordered episodes, retaining source-native targets, and balancing supervision across families. Under the same observation access, a single ChronoReplay checkpoint improves OVO-S-Bench, OST-Bench, and UCS-Bench together, including a 13.41-point gain on OST-Bench, and achieves the highest three-benchmark mean among the supervision settings compared here. Same-data controls further separate the ingredients of this transfer: answer serialization redistributes gains across OST and UCS, family-balanced learning improves over ordinary joint SFT and natural turn weighting, and chronological replay exceeds a shifted-order control by about 2.41 OST points across two paired seeds. Adaptive frame selection then changes evidence access while keeping the trained model fixed, providing an additional inference-time gain at lower visual cost. Streaming spatial performance depends on what distinctions supervision preserves, how heterogeneous histories are organized during learning, and what causal evidence inference makes available at test time.
