• Discrete diffusion VLMs validated for GUI grounding for the first time. Bidirectional attention shows structural advantages on spatial tasks. Data diversity alone yields a 20-point average gain. CVPR accepted.

• LoRA's null-space compression correlates with task performance and works directly as a merging weight signal. Label-free, task-agnostic, SOTA on 20 heterogeneous vision tasks.

• Vision backbone efficiency research almost universally assumes high-parallelism hardware. CPUBone targets edge devices with no AI accelerator. On CPUs, fewer MACs does not mean lower latency.

• AI watermarking upgrades from threshold detection to precise information recovery. Structured data embedded in diffusion model initial noise can be losslessly recovered as full generation metadata, with zero quality impact.
