Across multiple steering benchmarks, we show that SKOP achieves the best joint steering-utility trade-off, reducing utility degradation by 5-7x while retaining over 95% of vanilla steering efficacy.
To overcome these limitations, we present MANTRA, a framework for automatically synthesizing machine-checkable compliance benchmarks from natural-language manuals and tool schemas.
Safety benchmarks are routinely treated as evidence about how a language model will behave once deployed, but this inference is fragile if behavior depends on whether a prompt looks like an evaluation.
Paradoxically, we observe that tool-enabled evaluation can degrade reasoning performance even when the strong thinking models make almost no actual tool calls.
In contrast, fully unstructured teams enable adaptability and exploration but suffer from inefficiencies such as error propagation, inter-agent conflicts, and wasted resources (measured in time, tokens, or file operations).
Human label variation has been established as a central phenomenon in NLP: the perspectives different annotators have on the same item need to be embraced.
Laughter is a social non-vocalization that is universal across cultures and languages, and is crucial for human communication, including social bonding and communication signaling.
Agentic RAG extends this paradigm by replacing single-step retrieval with a multi-step process, in which the large language model (LLM) acts as a search agent that generates intermediate thoughts and subqueries to iteratively interact with…
In this paper, we introduce a new multi-genre benchmark (more than 1000 samples) for semantic segmentation in conversational Arabic, focusing on dialectal discourse.
Across three model families, six scales, and six math reasoning benchmarks, ReasonMaxxer matches or exceeds full RL performance while requiring only tens of problems and minutes of single-GPU training, a reduction in training cost of…

LLM evaluations drive which models get deployed, what safety standards get adopted, which research conclusions get published, and how projections of AI's labor-market impact get made.
Using Chatbot Arena data, we show naive 95\% CI coverage drops as n grows while TEE-corrected coverage holds at 95\%, and TEE-guided pipelines restrict the benchmark gaming surface from 56 to 32 Elo (K=27), below the human-leaderboard…
Arabic-DeepSeek-R1 achieves the highest average score across the seven-benchmark OALL suite while establishing SOTA or near-SOTA, including dominant results on grammar-focused MadinahQA (surpassing both GPT-5.1 and the OALL leader by…
Our results indicate that the combination of sparse MoE architecture, culturally-informed CoT distillation with explicit Arabic linguistic checks, and strategic bilingual data curation enables an open-source adapted model to systematically…

LLM agents fail on the majority of real-world tasks -- GPT-4o succeeds on fewer than 15% of WebArena navigation tasks and below 55% pass@1 on ToolBench (Zhou et al., 2024; Qin et al., 2024) -- yet every failed trajectory is routinely…
We introduce AgentHER, a framework that recovers this lost training signal by adapting the Hindsight Experience Replay (HER; Andrychowicz et al., 2017) principle to natural-language agent trajectories for offline data augmentation.
To address this limitation, we propose MAPG (Multi-Agent Probabilistic Grounding), an agentic framework that decomposes language queries into structured subcomponents and queries a VLM to ground each component.
We evaluate MAPG on the HM-EQA benchmark and show consistent performance improvements over strong baselines.
We evaluate this framework on the BioASQ and PubMedQA benchmarks, specifically analyzing the impact of dynamic in-context learning and rerank- ing under constrained token budgets.
Additionally, we perform a pilot study combining human expert assessment with LLM-based verification to explore how explicit rationale generation improves system transparency and enables more detailed diagnosis of retrieval failures in…
Here we present Learning-Augmented Robotic Automation, a hybrid system that integrates learned task controllers and a neural 3D safety monitor into conventional industrial workflows.
We deployed the system on an electric-motor production line to automate deformable cable insertion and soldering under real manufacturing constraints, a step previously performed manually by human workers.
As AI systems begin to automate complex tasks, supervision increasingly relies on weaker models or limited human oversight that cannot fully verify output quality.
We demonstrate the framework on a 7-DoF torque-controlled robot performing an industrial bearing ring insertion task, showing successful skill adaptation through natural language commands for speed adjustment, trajectory correction, and…
Multimodal web agents that process both screenshots and accessibility trees are increasingly deployed to interact with web interfaces, yet their dual-stream architecture opens an underexplored attack surface: an adversary who injects…
Motivated by this finding, we propose Dual-Modality Multi-Stage Adversarial Safety Training (DMAST), a framework that formalizes the agent-attacker interaction as a two-player zero-sum Markov game and co-trains both players through a…
This paper presents epistemic blinding in the context of an agentic system that uses large language models to reason across multiple biological datasets for drug target prioritization.
The complete target identification system is described - including LLM-guided evolutionary optimization of scoring functions and blinded agentic reasoning for target rationalization - with demonstration that both stages operate without…
We systematically analyze representative methods, examine industrial deployments, and identify open problems including distillation scaling laws, uncertainty-aware feedback, and agent-level distillation.
Experiments across a variety of steering tasks and benchmarks demonstrate that COLD-Steer achieves upto 95% steering effectiveness while using 50 times fewer samples compared to the best baseline.
Our framework opens new possibilities for adaptive, context-aware model control that can flexibly address varying loss-driven human preferences through principled approximation of learning dynamics rather than specialized training…
