标题：Evolving Agent Interfaces
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28601
摘要：Computer-use agents are limited by the interfaces humans give them. An agent may type a spreadsheet cell by cell when a single line of code would do, or print all two thousand lines of a file through a shell to find one function. Both the interfaces and the knowledge of when to use each are built by hand, which cannot keep pace with new applications, workflows, and models. We argue that interface design should itself be an agent capability. We introduce Agent S4, an autonomous computer-use scientist that builds Evolving Agent Interfaces from task experience. A meta-agent examines task agents' trajectories on synthetic training tasks, without success labels, and constructs and revises interfaces and usage knowledge in a repository. Population-based evolution then selects which repositories
标题：MaD-RSI: Model-as-Data for Recursive Self-Improvement of Agent Harnesses
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28201
摘要：Recursive self-improvement (RSI) of agent harnesses has emerged as an effective approach to enhancing the capabilities of large language model (LLM) agents. By searching the harness space for a specific LLM on a given dataset, RSI can discover a harness tailored to the capabilities and behavioral characteristics of that model. However, such optimization often creates a strong coupling between the learned harness and its target LLM, limiting generalization across models and requiring substantial computational resources to adapt to new LLMs. Moreover, existing RSI methods typically optimize a harness using feedback from a single model and evaluate its generalization to other models only after training. This paradigm treats model differences primarily as a criterion for evaluating generalizat
标题：Elicitation or Expansion? Demystifying Gains from Agent Harness Optimization
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.27889
摘要：Recent studies in harness optimization have shown substantial performance gains in language model agents without updating model weights. A well-designed harness more effectively leverages the underlying model's capabilities by shaping context, tool use, and execution workflows. However, naïve success rates alone do not fully characterize whether optimized harness yields more reliable success on tasks already within reach (elicitation) or a broader range of solvable tasks (expansion). This distinction is crucial for recursive self-improvement and evolutionary search, as expansion may provide a broader range of successful experiences to push the capability boundaries. Despite the growing significance, this distinction remains underexplored in harness optimization. We conduct a systematic ana

来源：arXiv

摘要：LLM agents are commonly trained with RLVR, but the sparse nature of typical RLVR rewards makes credit assignment challenging, especially for long-horizon tasks. We propose Self-Credit, an end-to-end agentic RL method that creates dense supervision signals from sparse outcome rewards using self-generated credit assignment via intra-group rescaling. Self-Credit builds on group-based RL with three components. First, during its rollouts, the policy model generates summaries with citations to earlier turns containing critical evidence, which serve as self-generated credit. Second, we refine this model-generated credit with intra-group rescaling, which compares cited actions across successful and failed rollouts for the same prompt. This approach uses group-level agreement and disagreement to re

来源：arXiv

摘要：The Reinforcement Learning (RL) paradigm has achieved remarkable success in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, when applied to long-horizon tasks, it faces severe challenges: i) Due to the high task complexity, the model struggles to sample enough successful trajectories, resulting in slow convergence. ii) Relying solely on sparse final rewards causes all steps to be updated indiscriminately, encouraging redundant step generation. When both the quantity and quality of successful trajectories become difficult to guarantee, the performance is severely constrained. This dilemma stems from the limitations: existing RL paradigms rely entirely on the reasoning capability of base models, lacking the ability to actively optimize trajectories. To address

摘要：Many scientific phenomena are best understood as outcomes of underlying optimization problems, yet automated scientific discovery has largely focused on recovering equations that describe observed input-output patterns. We introduce OptScientist, a novel automated framework for discovering compact symbolic optimization laws directly from data. OptScientist comprises (i) a model that infers symbolic optimization problems by first learning to represent data as an optimization problem and then extracting its symbolic form, and (ii) an LLM agentic system embedding the model in a discovery process that integrates theoretical priors from scientific literature, discovers candidate laws, abstracts their underlying mechanisms, and suggests new data to collect. We first evaluate OptScientist on OptF

来源：arXiv

摘要：Monitoring the chain-of-thought (CoT) of language models (LMs) is a key strategy for detecting and preventing misbehaviors for AI safety. As such, it is critical to identify reinforcement learning (RL) practices that lead to unmonitorable chain-of-thought. One such practice may be unavoidable: reward misspecification. As RL environments become more complex, it is infeasible to have perfect verification, and models are rewarded for behaviors that are different from the true task intent. We show that reward misspecification alone already degrades monitorability. We create a testbed with pairs of true reward aligned with task intent and misspecified rewards that favor a different behavior, so that reward hacking can be induced by training and labeled verifiably.

摘要：How can we effectively oversee AI systems that surpass human intelligence? AI Safety via Debate proposes that two AI systems argue opposing positions and a judge, either a human or a weaker model, decides which is correct. By facilitating supervisors in providing high-quality training signals, debate aims to encourage truthful and safe behavior from AI systems whose capabilities exceed our own. However, human judgment is not neutral: people often rely on biases which advanced AI systems may learn to exploit. Drawing on insights from collective intelligence and social cognition, this paper investigates whether debate can guide human and LLM supervisors toward the truth despite their prior beliefs. We evaluate several protocol configurations. We also explore setups inspired by the wisdom of

摘要：Motivated by the human ability to integrate experience across language, perception, and action, we introduce UniWALM, a unified world-action-language model that learns video, action, and language in a single shared representation, where each modality is both a conditioning signal and a supervision target. We ask: can jointly generating language enrich this shared representation, improving manipulation and supporting memory-dependent behavior? Unlike prior approaches that attach a reasoning or vision-language model to a video-action backbone and run them as distinct stages, UniWALM unifies all three modalities inside a single mixture-of-transformers backbone whose per-modality diffusion heads co-denoise synchronously, decoding subtask and textual memory in the same pass as action with no se

摘要：Simulation is a powerful tool for robotics, but building diverse, simulation-ready scenes at scale remains difficult. Reconstructing scenes from single images is a promising alternative, but visual similarity alone is insufficient: objects must also be recovered, accurately placed, and physically grounded. Existing methods that rely on post-hoc physics settling often misplace objects, producing scenes that look correct but behave poorly under manipulation. We present SceneRig, an agentic system that turns a single image into an editable, simulation-ready scene. SceneRig combines geometric, visual, and physical tools to reconstruct a faithful 3D scene. An agent then performs edit-and-validate loops inside a physics simulator to achieve physical stability. Across diverse inputs, SceneRig imp

摘要：World-Action Models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for embodied generalist policies by jointly modeling future world evolution and robot actions across diverse manipulation tasks. However, representing diverse futures is only the first step: a capable WAM must also generate futures that match the requirements of the current task and execution progress. In long-horizon manipulation where similar observation-action segments occur across different tasks and stages, existing approaches may generate locally plausible yet misdirected rollouts to drift toward wrong task stage, i.e., a phenomenon we term Stage Confusion. To address this problem, we propose TaskWAM, a closed-loop, stage-aware framework that represents fine-grained task requirements with Mode Tokens and tracks execution
标题：Perceives but Doesn't Brake: A Perception-Action Binding Gap in Reasoning Driving VLAs

摘要：Reasoning-augmented vision-language-action (VLA) driving models can perceive and reason about safety-critical hazards yet fail to translate that evidence into safe actions. We characterize this failure as a perception-action binding gap: hazard information is available inside the model but exerts insufficient control over trajectory generation. Using matched simulated counterfactuals and logged driving replay, we show that in-path hazards are actually encoded in the visual representation, but longitudinal plans are dominated by ego-speed history and respond only weakly to hazard proximity or the model's own reasoning trace. Further analysis shows that the trajectory generator is capable of braking but sometimes fails to do so due to the perception-action binding gap. Without retraining or

摘要：Agent harnesses are executable code that specifies the prompts, tools, and control flow around a language model. A single global harness can struggle with heterogeneous tasks that require different execution strategies. In this work, we introduce Object-Oriented Harness (OO-Harness), a harness optimization framework that evolves a hierarchy of executable harness classes using object-oriented design. During training, an evolution agent uses execution records to create a family of specialized harnesses, each implemented as a subclass of the base or an existing specialized harness via inheritance. At test time, a harness router uses routing lessons accumulated during training to select a specific harness for each task. Across three long-horizon benchmarks spanning business workflows, workspac

摘要：Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have substantially advanced chart understanding and reasoning, yet their performance remains highly uneven across chart types. While modern MLLMs perform well on common charts, their accuracy drops sharply on long-tail charts with diverse visual structures and reasoning requirements. Tool-augmented agents can improve complex chart reasoning by introducing specialized visual capabilities, but manually engineering strategies and tools for the heterogeneous and evolving long tail is difficult to scale.

来源：arXiv

摘要：Recent advances in large (vision) language models have enabled computer-use agents that automate digital workflows via fine-grained keyboard and mouse operations. However, such agents remain fragile in long-horizon settings, where errors accumulate and executed actions leave unintended side effects, making the ability to recover from failures critical. Yet, existing remedies remain inadequate: environment resets are infeasible in proprietary settings, action replay is prohibitively expensive over long horizons, and API-based rollback is limited to web environments, leaving model-based recovery largely unexplored. To address this gap, we present ReTrace, a scalable evaluation framework for systematically studying recovery behavior in computer-use agents. We formalize Transition-Consistent R

摘要：Enterprise agents answer questions over workplace records that evolve through team collaboration. As information is shared, corrected, and revised across documents, chats, and figures, multiple versions of the same information accumulate in the workspace. Reliable question answering therefore requires agents to reason over sufficient evidence, resolve cross-source and temporal conflicts, and recognize when the available evidence is insufficient to establish an answer. To systematically evaluate these capabilities, we introduce MMEnterprise-Bench, a benchmark comprising 1,613 questions grounded in evolving multimodal records from simulated collaboration projects, covering three categories: Evidence Reasoning, Conflict Resolution, and Unanswerability.

摘要：RTL repair benchmarks should measure whether a model can fix broken RTL given a specification. To this end, we construct and hash-bind RTLRepairDataset, 5,784 (broken, fixed) training pairs; RTLRepairBench, 459 held-out cases with 374 syntactic and 85 behavioral mutations; and an evaluation harness supporting simulation and formal equivalence. We then use this infrastructure to identify two measurement confounds. First, simulation and formal scoring give opposite signs for the apparent effect of providing a specification in one evaluated cohort; reset-aware rescoring attributes almost all of the simulation-formal disagreement to reset and first-cycle comparison semantics. Second, on 274 mined model failures, the specification-only minus specification-conditioned recovery point estimate ran

摘要：Long-term assistants must follow unfinished tasks across days as information and circumstances change. Finding information or starting an action, however, does not ensure that the task gets completed. We introduce OptionWorld, a benchmark that traces information acquisition, judgments, actions, and outcomes in simulated daily-life tasks to identify where current LLMs fall short as long-term personal assistants. In runs with archived decision inputs, the key facts remain in the model's last input before the deadline in 35.5% of failed instances. Failure analysis identifies the three most frequent problems: needed information is not obtained or combined, available opportunities to act go unused, and agents impose restrictions that the task does not require.

摘要：Modern LLM agents persist state across sessions via two channels: long-lived memory files silently prepended to the system prompt, and scheduled tasks waking the agent without user input. A one-time indirect prompt injection committed to either channel can re-fire across sessions long after the attacker leaves, threats we term carryover attacks. Existing prompt-injection benchmarks evaluate attacks only in the session where malicious content is first observed, leaving the gate governing when and how often a planted payload later re-fires unmeasured. We present CarryoverBench: 12 personal-assistant scenarios and 101 attack tasks across three trigger channels: Instant, same-turn IPI; Autonomous, heartbeat-scheduled; and Latent, memory-resurfaced.

摘要：ExeBench is one of the most widely used benchmarks for evaluating LLM-based decompilers. We analyze ExeBench and identify nine issues that affect how faithfully a test measures a decompiler. Three of them prevent LLM decompilers from recovering C code from ExeBench's function. These are ambiguous parameter order when integer and floating-point types are mixed, unused parameters that optimized assembly may drop, and constants stored outside the function's assembly code. Six more affect test validity: non-void functions without a return, placeholder types, static or inline functions removed by the optimizer, functions named main, trivial bodies and truncated definitions. We present ExeBench-FHD, a backward-compatible revision of ExeBench that adds 16 new fields: call-site assembly, data sect

摘要：Human preference is now central to the evaluation, guidance, finetuning, and ranking of text-to-image models. However, the susceptibility of human preferences to bias in image generation remains underexplored. We identify a key observation: for human faces, perceived attractiveness overrides image quality in preference judgments, even when comparing real photographs of identical fidelity. In a controlled user study, annotators rank more attractive faces as higher quality, even when unattractive real faces are compared with attractive AI-generated ones. We examine the downstream consequences of this bias. Firstly, simulating Elo rankings from user study data shows attractiveness can invert a leaderboard's ranking, elevating synthetic attractive faces over real, unattractive ones. Secondly,

We study when a binary classifier trained on synthetic data transfers successfully to a real distribution, under a shared conditional label distribution. First, we derive finite-sample excess-error bounds when the real covariate distribution is absolutely continuous with respect to the synthetic distribution under a controlled density ratio. Second, we study the partially and fully singular case, where the real distribution has mass outside the synthetic one. If the hypothesis class is sufficiently expressive, synthetic risk alone cannot uniformly control real-world error: a classifier can be nearly optimal on synthetic data while approaching worst-case error on

摘要：Subliminal learning is the phenomenon in which a model transmits its preferences to another model through data that do not explicitly express them. As models increasingly curate training data for other models, we ask whether this transfer can arise from choosing among near-duplicate images while keeping the source photographs and human-written captions fixed. For each photograph, a curator selects one of eight near-duplicate variants by caption likelihood, without target-specific prompts. Students trained on target-preferring curators' selections show higher mean target-versus-alternatives log-likelihood ratios in an image-free readout than students trained on neutral selections. Under a prespecified decision rule, this directional shift appears for an owl target in LLaVA-1.5, Qwen2.5-VL,

This makes them promising candidates for reasoning, planning, and constrained-generation tasks like coding and math. Yet masked and uniform diffusion erase a token's identity in a single corruption event, so their noisy states cannot explicitly represent partially resolved uncertainty in which several alternatives remain plausible. We close this gap with Binary Discrete Diffusion, a family of continuous-time discrete-diffusion processes whose noisy state is a set of candidate tokens per position, represented as a binary membership vector.

摘要：Long-horizon deep search requires LLM agents to iteratively decompose complex information needs, gather evidence from external sources, and maintain a reliable research state under multiple constraints. A central challenge is that early mistakes can be amplified over the search trajectory: agents may anchor on an incorrect candidate, collect partially supporting evidence, overlook contradictions, and accumulate errors that misguide subsequent reasoning. We propose FALCA, a falsification-aware framework that formulates deep search as a propose-falsify process. FALCA adopts a collaborative Searcher-Falsifier architecture, where the Searcher proposes candidate answers or sub-answers, while independent Falsifiers actively seek counterevidence, check unmet constraints, identify conflicts, and p

Yet, existing systems must search an open space of papers and an open space of concepts with no trace of how the community itself has navigated them, leading to incomplete scope, weak taxonomies, and unreliable citations. Our core insight is that author-written Related Work sections contain the human judgments needed to address both limitations: authors curate the citations relevant to their contributions and explain how the cited works relate, yielding paths for scope reconstruction and relational evidence for organization. We propose InsightRAG. Its insight-guided retrieval follows author-supported citation relations to reconstruct a verified research scope and
标题：CollabSciReM: Aligning Language Models for Scientific Conversations via Science-Aware Reward Decomposition
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.27901
摘要：Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as research collaborators for hypothesis refinement, methodological planning, and technical analysis across multi-turn interactions. In this setting, a useful assistant must be accurate, methodologically justified, logically consistent, and token-efficient. Current alignment approaches rarely achieve all of these together. Instruction-tuned models gain conversational quality through verbosity, and we show that science-agnostic general collaborative rewards compress responses at the expense of scientific rigor. We propose CollabSciReM, a goal-conditioned reward framework that decomposes the session-level reward into conversational quality, scientific rigor, and structural efficiency. We also introduce SciQuality, a pairwise evaluation of mu

摘要：Warehouse robot fleets continuously observe operational conditions, but preserving these observations as reusable semantic memory incurs substantial computation, communication, and storage costs. For example, explaining recurring aisle blockages can require reviewing video from multiple robots across several shifts. We present IndustrialRemembr, a shared spatiotemporal memory system that extends NVIDIA ReMEmbR to robot fleets and reduces server-side computation by generating scene descriptions only on demand. On each robot, an NVIDIA Jetson encodes video clips into retrieval embeddings with Cosmos-Embed1, vision tokens with Cosmos3-Edge, and reconstruction latents with the Wan2.2 VAE, without uploading raw camera frames. The encoding models are re-used to detect people in image patches, ze
标题：Disclosure Begets Disclosure: A Self-Reinforcing Privacy Loop in LLM Agents with Persistent Memory
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28315
摘要：Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use persistent memory to personalize responses, and personal attributes in this memory pose a privacy risk if exposed. We ask how consulting memory during dialogue changes what users go on to say, and thus what the memory comes to reveal. In multi-session simulations, a simulated user with 24 personal attributes talks with a support agent that does or does not consult memory, and in both settings attributes are inferred from the full accumulated record. Across four support models, memory raises response quality but also empirical leakage, the share of attribute values correctly inferred from the record, by a margin that widens over sessions. The cause is a loop in ordinary, non-adversarial assistance. Memory-conditioned responses carry earlier
标题：ClawMMU: Protection-Coherent Virtual Memory for Stateful LLM Agents
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28093
摘要：AI agents keep long-term memory, much of which comes from web pages and tool results. Agent harnesses, the software that runs the model, do not record who may act on this memory, so an instruction hidden in a fetched page can be treated as the user's own instruction. We propose ClawMMU, a protection layer that labels every piece of memory with its owner, scope, origins, and authority. ClawMMU checks these labels whenever content enters the model's context, is written to storage, returns from storage, or drives a tool call. Its central rule is that information may rise in authority, but authority never lifts itself. Because the checks depend on where content came from, not on what it says, memory attacks become classical protection faults that the harness stops even when the model is fooled
标题：Temporal Evidence-Parameter Co-Alignment for LLM Reasoning over Temporal Knowledge Graphs
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28176
摘要：Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle with temporally grounded reasoning because their static parametric memory is misaligned with the dynamic evolution of real-world knowledge. Although RAG and Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) provide practical ways to enhance LLMs, they remain insufficient for temporal reasoning. Existing retrieval methods typically prioritize semantic relevance while overlooking temporal validity, event order, and evolutionary dependencies, resulting in evidence that is relevant in isolation but temporally fragmented. Meanwhile, conventional PEFT methods usually employ fixed and input-agnostic low-rank updates, making it difficult to capture time-dependent entity semantics and relation drift. To address these limitations, we propose Temporal Evidence-Paramet

标题：VisualEvolve: A Skill Self-Evolution Framework for Visual Reasoning
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28386
摘要：Visual tool use enables vision-language models (VLMs) to acquire task-relevant evidence, but its effectiveness can be limited by predefined visual operations and the tool-use strategies learned during training. Representing these operations and strategies as reusable external skills allows them to be refined through self-evolution without updating model parameters. However, skill refinement can introduce performance regressions. Meanwhile, inspecting accumulated task execution trajectories together with skill evolution history may lead to evolution evidence overload. To address these challenges, we propose VisualEvolve, a self-evolving framework that evolves executable visual operations and tool-use strategies for VLMs through a Select--Execute--Evolve--Evaluate cycle.

标题：When Do Humans and Machines Truly Complement Each Other? Formal Conditions and Empirical Evidence for Human-AI Synergy
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.27965
摘要：Can humans and artificial intelligence cooperate such that their combination yields greater accuracy than either agent alone? This result, termed \emph{synergy} or \emph{complementarity}, is notoriously difficult to achieve, even when both agents possess significant independent accuracy. In this paper, we present a formal framework to model human-AI interaction through the lens of reliance patterns, which characterize the joint correctness structure of human and algorithmic decisions. We derive mathematically necessary and sufficient conditions for synergy, demonstrating that its emergence depends on the ability of either agent to identify and correct the errors of the other, what we call Human and Algorithmic Correction. Beyond its theoretical contribution, the proposed framework provides
标题：SAPD: Learning from Agent Experience without Environment Interaction
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.27847
摘要：Scaling the training of Large Language Model (LLM) agents typically requires a large collection of executable environments, whose construction, maintenance, and operation constrain the expansion of training experience. Existing offline trajectories offer an opportunity to reuse interaction experience, yet effectively refining the current policy without revisiting these environments remains challenging: supervised fine-tuning (SFT) can lead to catastrophic forgetting, while online reinforcement learning requires real-time interaction with the environment. To address this challenge, we propose Step-Advantage Policy Distillation (SAPD), a method for learning from offline trajectories using relative step advantages. SAPD decomposes multi-turn trajectories into individual decision contexts for
标题：Capable Teacher, Myopic Scorer: Reward-Free Teacher Repair for Agentic On-Policy Distillation
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28586
摘要：Agentic on-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student agent on its own trajectories while a teacher scores every token. A natural explanation of where it goes wrong is compounding error: the student's mistakes carry its trajectories beyond the region where the teacher is reliable, so recent methods keep training inside that region, through episode-length curricula, teacher-guided turns, prefix replay, or teacher intervention where the two disagree. We show this explanation is incomplete. From the states where the student departs most from the teacher, the teacher's own takeovers still finish the task, yet the student trained on its token scores keeps running out of turns. We attribute this to the myopia of next-token scoring. The teacher rates each token without seeing where the episode en
标题：Rewards for Budget-Aware Multi-Turn Agents That Adapt to Arbitrary Test-Time Constraints
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28409
摘要：Large language model agents are often given an inference budget and asked to maximise success within it. A multi-turn agent has to allocate this budget across many environment interactions. An external harness can enforce the budget, but it remains unclear whether the agent itself can learn when and how much to spend. We ask whether agents can learn this allocation across dynamically specified budgets and which rewards best teach this behaviour. We adapt existing length penalties to budget constraints spanning multiple resource types, introduce new reward formulations, and compare eleven objectives in a shared training pipeline. We train Qwen3.5 models at 4B and 9B on AppWorld with budgets over tokens, API calls, and environment steps, and on the BabyAI gridworld with turn budgets. We trai
标题：RANGER: Retrieval Agent for Navigating Graphs with Semantic Evaluation Rewards
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28010
摘要：The integration of Large Language Models and Reinforcement Learning offers a promising direction for complex sequential decision-making tasks, such as multi-hop question answering over knowledge graphs. While LLMs provide strong semantic understanding and reasoning capabilities, they often struggle with precise, multi-step navigation in structured environments. Conversely, RL agents excel at learning navigation policies but are hindered by the difficulty of designing semantically meaningful reward functions. This paper introduces a novel hybrid approach in which an LLM serves as a mentor to an RL agent during training by providing dense, semantically informed reward signals. The RL agent, built on a Transformer-based policy and trained with Group Relative Policy Optimization, learns to nav
标题：From RL Papers to Framework Code: Inclusion and Review in Seven Open-Source Training Frameworks
来源：arXiv

摘要：Practitioners use reinforcement learning methods for language models through training frameworks, so a method that a framework includes is one configuration change away for its users. We measure how often this happens. We trace seven open-source frameworks for RL post-training through their commit histories and link them to 6,939 screened arXiv papers from January 2025 to June 2026. Of 1,598 papers that propose a general RL training method, 37 reached at least one framework. Across five quarterly cohorts of papers, the number included within 180 days stayed between 5 and 7 while the cohorts grew from 72 to 386 papers. Compared with papers from the same quarters, included papers more often trained policies of 30B parameters or more, at 41 against 10 percent, and more often changed a coeffic
标题：Present but Hard to Read: Probing Latent Reasoning with Minimal Pairs
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28498
摘要：Probing studies of latent reasoning often read a model's state where the answer begins and take a failed probe as evidence that a value is absent. We test this with a digit copied from the question, in the looped model Ouro-1.4B and the standard transformer Qwen2.5-1.5B. Comparing prompts that differ only in that digit shows it is present at the last prompt token, in a code shared across questions (readout about 0.9). A probe that sees one prompt at a time, the usual setting, barely reads it: 0.36 in Ouro and 0.19 in Qwen even after 5,249 training questions. The digit's change is small rather than crowded: random noise lands on equally busy directions, while a random word in its place moves the state far more and is readable. Since every varied token leaves a trace, a successful probe is a
标题：Adaptive Replay Refinement: Allocating Test-Time Compute Between Revision and Resampling
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28294
摘要：Test-time scaling allocates additional inference compute to refining existing solutions or generating new ones. This raises a fundamental question: Should I keep improving this solution, or stop working on it and try a completely new solution? Existing methods make this decision using fixed refinement schedules, self-verification judgments, or learned controllers, which can waste compute or rely on signals that may be incorrect or require additional training. We introduce Adaptive Replay Refinement (ARR), a training-free method that detects when a stationary revision reaches a fixed point and reallocates the released compute to a new independent sample; replay decoding treats the current solution as a draft and verifies unchanged tokens in parallel, enabling efficient fixed-point detection
标题：Geometry-Agnostic Data-Driven Discovery of Extreme Scenarios
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28487
摘要：We introduce a two-stage data-driven neural framework for discovering dynamically admissible extreme scenarios. Rather than assuming prior knowledge of the governing equations, the first stage infers the effective dynamical constraints directly from observational data. When the underlying physical system possesses suitable symmetries, the learned dynamics can be represented in a geometry-agnostic form, independent of any fixed grid, coordinate system, dimensionality, and intrinsic curvature. In the second stage, a physics-informed neural-search uses this learned dynamics to uncover rare, high-impact coherent structures that may not have appeared in the original observations. We demonstrate this framework through representative examples of increasing dimensionality and geometric complexity.

摘要：General-purpose multimodal models have shown promise as direct robot action policies, yet whether they grasp the physics underlying real-world interactions and can apply that understanding to guide action remains underexplored. We investigate this question using contact-rich manipulation as a representative testbed, examining tactile understanding as a concrete instance of this broader capability. Contact-rich manipulation requires interpreting tactile feedback and adjusting actions after obstruction. Existing learned tactile policies acquire these capabilities through specialized pretraining and per-task optimization, with substantial data and training costs. We present GPT-as-Tactile-Policy, which summarizes expert demonstrations into task guidance and tactile references for contact asse
标题：Toolflation: Seller Agents Distort Tool Markets Through Spontaneous Generative Engine Optimization
来源：arXiv

摘要：Agents are starting to sell to other agents. Seller agents write the listings of tools, services and products, and buyer agents read these listings when they choose what to use. We show that seller agents told only to be selected more often practice generative engine optimization on their own, and that this distorts the market for sellers and for buyers. We build tool markets from real data tools on Amazon and Instagram and run every tool on every question, so we know which tools can answer each question. Under all five production models we test, sellers rewrite their descriptions to claim more and more fields, including fields that their tools return for fewer than half of the targets. We call this process toolflation. Nothing in the market limits it, and how far it goes depends on the mo

摘要：Agentic AI extends large language models (LLMs) from generating responses to planning and executing complex workflows, substantially expanding their utility while exposing applications to unsafe actions, information leakage, and adversarial manipulation. Multi-agent systems further expand these capabilities through specialization and collaboration, but distributed authority, heterogeneous roles, and opaque or potentially compromised participants make safeguarding even more challenging. Existing defenses address important individual threats but provide fragmented coverage across local execution, system-level interactions, and enforcement mechanisms. We introduce MAS-Guard, a unified framework that closes this gap for safeguarding single- and multi-agent AI applications containing both instr
标题：Local Work, Global Progress: A Convergence Theory of AI Agent Collaboration
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28286
摘要：Teams of large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly applied to complex tasks, but their collaboration protocols are mostly designed empirically, without convergence guarantees. We formalize collaborative problem solving as block optimization: each agent improves one part of a shared solution, guided by its local objective plus a correction for how its changes affect the other parts. A coordinator checks every proposal against the global objective and merges proposals that do not interfere with each other. We prove linear convergence up to an error floor that vanishes when the corrections are exact. Interfering proposals can also be merged once their combination has been checked; the rate then depends on how well the proposals actually combine, not on worst-case interactions. With G
标题：Racer: Hunting GPU Kernel Bugs with Symbolic Equivalence Checking

摘要：GPU kernels are critical to the performance of today's AI services, yet the same operators are rewritten repeatedly: for each GPU generation, numeric format, serving regime, and kernel language. Every rewrite must preserve the function computed by the implementation it replaces. Today, this obligation depends almost entirely on differential testing: run the new kernel and a trusted reference on randomly sampled tensors, then compare their outputs within a tolerance. This approach has blind spots that additional test cases cannot eliminate. For example, a logical bug may produce an error smaller than the tolerance required to accommodate a correct optimized kernel. We propose symbolic equivalence checking, which executes a kernel and its reference on symbolic inputs, turning each output cel

摘要：Realistic few-shot adaptation of medical vision-language models (VLMs) can leave low-prevalence classes without any labeled support. The training-free SS- Text+ solver remains operational in this setting, but its zero-support prototypes receive no visual adaptation and fall back to a purely textual class prototype. We in- troduce Gated Knowledge-Guided Prototype Transfer (GProtoT), a pre-repulsion module that transfers supported-class visual residuals to missing classes using VLM similarity and an ontology-based clinical distance. A validation-free evidence gate scales transfer based on semantic relevance and residual agreement, thereby limiting unsupported extrapolation.

来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.28229
摘要：Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) minimizes empirical risk over observed preference comparisons, implicitly assuming that the training preference distribution matches the deployment preference distribution. In practice, this i.i.d. assumption often fails, as preference distribution shift exhibits a natural hierarchical structure across three levels: group-level shift, prompt-level shift, and preference-level shift. Such multi-level distributional mismatch poses a critical challenge for safe LLM deployment, yet existing robust DPO methods typically either model uncertainty over the joint preference distribution or focus on individual sources of shift, leaving the hierarchical structure of OOD preference shifts underexplored. We propose TPO, a tri-level distributionally robust framework f

来源：arXiv

摘要：Automated respiratory sound classification enables continuous, non-invasive respiratory assessment, yet long-term deployment remains challenging due to domain shifts from evolving recording devices and acquisition periods. When privacy and governance regulations prohibit replaying historical data, sequential learning easily overwrites previously acquired knowledge. Preserving dedicated domain experts prevents parameter interference, but selecting the correct expert at inference is difficult under overlapping acoustic distributions and absent domain labels. To resolve this dilemma, we propose APRIL, an exemplar-free domain-incremental framework for RSC. Built on a shared frozen BEATs backbone, APRIL sequentially inherits and isolates low-rank experts to enable new-domain adaptation without

摘要：Staged post-training of multimodal foundation models chains vision-language alignment, reasoning distillation, and domain tuning, yet how each phase trades capabilities against the others remains under-characterised. Tracking an 8.4B-parameter model from an un-fine-tuned baseline through three training phases on Japanese financial documents (evaluated on five text-input benchmarks), we find the phases interact non-additively: math-only distillation overwrites the financial knowledge acquired earlier even as procedural math skill survives, and the domain phase repairs more than it installs. A skip-phase ablation is best for domain knowledge but forfeits numerical-reasoning gains, so per-phase contributions are not decomposable and the best checkpoint is task-dependent, with implications for
标题：From Generic to Dedicated: A Novel Optimizer for Online Continual Learning
来源：arXiv
链接：https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.27835
摘要：Online Continual Learning (OCL) requires models to learn from non-stationary data streams under a strict single-pass constraint, making them highly susceptible to catastrophic forgetting. While existing studies have explored various strategies from data, architecture, and optimization perspectives, the optimizer often directly uses generic approaches such as SGD and AdamW. In this work, we reveal a new link between optimization dynamics and OCL needs by recasting Polyak-Ruppert averaging as the engine of "plasticity" and Primal averaging as the anchor of "stability". This inspires our novel optimizer, SPIN (Stability-Plasticity INterpolation), which explicitly decouples plasticity and stability by interpolating between a fast-moving "plasticity" sequence and an adaptive "stability" sequenc

摘要：On-policy distillation (OPD) consolidates expert capabilities into a single student by matching teacher and student final-layer distributions on student-generated rollouts. We investigate whether depthwise prediction transitions, the changes in predictions between layers, can provide additional task-relevant supervision. Our diagnostic study finds that stronger teacher--student agreement in intermediate transitions is associated with higher answer correctness within questions, with correct responses exhibiting lower mean transition KL across all measured intermediate layer pairs. These observations motivate On-Policy Transition Distillation (OPTD), which augments final-layer distribution matching by aligning teacher and student layer-to-layer log-probability increments on student-generated
标题：Adaptive Stopping of Streamed Reasoning for Language Model Agents
来源：arXiv

摘要：Reasoning-enabled language model agents can incur substantial computation before acting, although the reasoning needed varies across decisions. Existing stopping signals, such as confidence and intermediate-answer stability, can vary in effectiveness across reasoning models; signals obtained from hidden states or token probabilities also require internal access that may be unavailable or impractical. We introduce StreamStop, which learns model-specific stopping policies offline from prefix-level action agreement. A frozen prefix reader encodes available reasoning text for a lightweight stop head, allowing stopping without access to the reasoning model's internal signals. We construct and publicly release a dataset of agent reasoning trajectories with prefix-level action annotations. These
