Frontier large language models (LLMs) safety evaluation has largely treated harmful generation as an attack outcome rather than an object of analysis. Consequently, little is known about the outputs themselves, partly because large-scale, high-quality collections of frontier-model misbehavior are difficult to obtain. To address this gap, we introduce **HarmProfile**, a content-centric benchmark dataset that collects model misbehavior across diverse harm categories and model families, and defines the resulting content distribution as a model-level risk profile. The premise is that, just as linguistic behavior can be characterized from an utterance corpus, model risk can be characterized from the content, severity, and variation of its safety failures. HarmProfile contains over 80,000 validated artifacts from 23 frontier LLMs across 13 model families, organized into 15 harm categories and 57 subcategories. Using this corpus, we find that frontier LLMs reliably produces harmful content at scale, yet exhibit distinct risk profiles; both harmfulness and diversity grow with model capability, suggesting that frontier LLMs may appear safe yet harbor increasingly dangerous knowledge beneath the alignment surface. The code and dataset resources are publicly available at https://github.com/fresh-ma/HarmProfile.

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has significantly advanced reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models. However, adapting RLVR to multimodal domains suffers from a critical perception-reasoning decoupling. Existing paradigms, driven by text-centric outcome rewards, reasoning in language medium, inadvertently encourage models to bypass visual perception. We empirically validate this through blind experiments: paradoxically, state-of-the-art policies maintain or even improve performance even when visual inputs are entirely removed. This reveals that these models degenerate into blind reasoners, exploiting linguistic priors to generate plausible answers instead of attending to visual evidence. In response, we propose Thinking with Deltas, a framework driven by a Differential Visual Reasoning Policy (DVRP). DVRP introduces intrinsic supervision via visual triplets, comprising original, masked, and perturbed inputs. It optimizes the model to maximize reasoning divergence from masked inputs (enforcing visual sensitivity) while minimizing divergence from perturbed inputs (ensuring visual robustness). By aligning reasoning variations strictly with the Delta of visual information, DVRP inherently bolsters visual understanding capabilities and significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both general and medical benchmarks, without requiring external annotations or auxiliary tools.

Video understanding is essential for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to interact effectively with users and the real world. However, analyzing long videos remains a major challenge due to the lack of high-quality video instruction data and effective training strategies. In this paper, we introduce a simple yet effective baseline for long-context video understanding, including dataset construction and training recipes. We curate a large-scale video instruction dataset with over 1M samples, encompassing videos from a few seconds to several minutes across diverse sources, without any human annotations. Additionally, we propose a progressive video instruction tuning strategy that incrementally increases input context length, enabling better utilization of videos of varying durations. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our dataset significantly outperforms existing video instruction datasets for fine-tuning MLLMs. Furthermore, our training approach establishes a strong video MLLM baseline, surpassing previous open-source models on video benchmarks and outperforming proprietary models like GPT-4V and GPT-4o-mini on VideoMME, even with a compact 7B model.

Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a promising foundation to build generally-capable agents (LLM-based agents) that can handle multi-turn decision-making tasks across various environments. However, the community lacks a unified interactive framework that covers diverse environments for comprehensive evaluation of agents, and enables exploration and learning for their self-improvement. To address this, we propose AgentGym, a framework featuring 7 real-world scenarios, 14 environments, and 89 tasks for unified, real-time, and concurrent agent interaction. We construct expanded instruction set, high-quality trajectories, and comprehensive benchmarking suite for developing LLM-based agents. Moreover, AgentGym supports interactive exploration and learning for agents through multi-turn interactions and real-time feedback. Based on AgentGym, we take the initial step to develop LLM-based agents that can handle diverse tasks via methods like self-improvement or reinforcement learning. Experimental results show that the trained agents can achieve results comparable to commercial models. We hope our work can help the community develop more advanced LLM-based agents. We release the code, dataset, benchmark, and checkpoints at https://agentgym.github.io/.
