Automatic Metrics Long Horizon MedicineCoding
  • However, existing agents remain brittle on long-horizon workflows, where they must repeatedly reconstruct program state scattered across source files, configurations, tests, dependencies, and runtime behavior, leading to increasingly long…
  • Each Dev-Primitive pairs a repository artifact with a resident LLM, which gives the artifact an agent-native interface grounded in its own implementation and dependencies, enabling natural-language reasoning, inter-component communication,…

Towards In-Parameter Memory Augmentation for Large Language Models

Pairwise Preference Automatic Metrics General
  • Recently Large Language Models (LLMs) and LLM-based agents increasingly need to incorporate knowledge acquired after pretraining, e.g., domain facts, user preferences, documents, and interaction experience.
  • In-context learning (ICL) and ICL-based agent harness remain flexible, but they consume context capacity and incur repeated discretized encoding cost that grows with context length.

Knowing When Not to Answer: Cross-Domain and Multi-Turn Generalization of Latent Underspecification Signals

DAEDALUS: Bootstrapping Agent Memory from Self-Generated Tasks

Automatic Metrics Coding
  • We present DAEDALUS, a method for bootstrapping reusable agent memory from self-generated practice without existing tasks or oracle verifiers.
  • We show that performance gains already emerge with a small exploration budget, and that its heuristics also benefit agents from other model families.

One Step at a Time: Trading LLM Autonomy for Process Predictability

Hans Schabert, Christoph Peters · Oct 6, 2026

Citations: 0

Match reason: Matched by broad semantic/index fallback.

Score: 45% Moderate protocol signal Freshness: Hot Status: Ready
Automatic Metrics General
  • When an agent is the executor that predictability is normally lost: the prescribed procedure goes into the system prompt, and only a final answer comes back.
  • We deliver the procedure step by step over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) instead: a server releases one step at a time, the agent executes it, and each step returns a structured step_output.

Automatic Metrics General
  • Post-training quantization reduces the cost of deploying language-model agents, but its effect on recovery from temporary tool failures can depend on how recovery is evaluated.
  • The 8-bit-4-bit recovery comparison changes direction across prompts and evaluation targets.

Persistent Memory in Multi-Agent LLM Inference: What It Costs, What It Buys, and When You Can Tell

Automatic Metrics Multi Agent General
  • Decomposing long-context inference across cooperating agents bounds the active KV cache per call rather than total evidence, which matters when KV-cache memory binds.
  • We measure both on one three-tier agent architecture.

AdvSim2Real : Training Web Agents Against Adaptive Prompt Injection in a Web World Model

Simulation Env Web Browsing General
  • Web agents complete user requests by reading and acting on pages that third parties write, so an instruction planted on a page can redirect the agent away from the user's goal.
  • We introduce AdvSim2Real, which co-evolves a task curriculum, an injection adversary, and the agent inside a frozen web world model.

Coding
  • Edge language-model agents must hold a persona and reason correctly at once, in one context window that fills with history and persona instructions.
  • We study what happens to the logical part of such an agent when that history is long, misleading and persona-heavy (persona-logic interference), and present a Decoupling Architecture (AO-DA) that separates logical inference ("What") from…

  • A constructed follow-up on 36 new source pages, labeled by a non-author reviewer, extends this evaluation and exposes the same tradeoff between detecting role errors and retaining valid citations.

General
  • Under the protocol it ships with, vision-language models (VLMs) score poorly on that taxonomy, and the benchmark concludes that a dedicated fine-tuned model is necessary: Empathic-Insight-Face (EIF; Small/Large).
  • We keep the benchmark's images, taxonomy and ratings, and change only how the answer is read.
