CatalogAgent: A Supervisor-Mediated Self-Learning System Enabling Context Engineering for GenAI Models

Product catalogs are the backbone of e-commerce sites, yet a large number of structured attributes (SAs) -- such as material, color, and shape -- often have missing values. Typically, SA values are extracted from product information, including titles and descriptions. While LLM-based generator-evaluator frameworks have demonstrated effectiveness for SA prediction -- where an LLM generates SA values and another evaluates them -- they face challenges when the Generator and Evaluator produce conflicting outputs, as either component can make mistakes. We introduce \texttt{CatalogAgent}, a novel agentic system that continuously improves Generator and Evaluator models for e-commerce catalog enrichment. When disagreements arise from (1) internal conflicts between the LLM-based Generator and Evaluator, or (2) external feedback from sellers on LLM outputs, a Supervisor Agent intervenes to mediate these conflicts and make final decisions. The system also incorporates a Memory Base and a Memory Summarizer that stores Supervisor Agent activities from individual cases and aggregates patterns into learnings. These learnings are fed back to the worker Generator and Evaluator LLMs, enabling self-improvement without human intervention. Through context engineering -- injecting learnings and insights into worker LLMs'contexts -- the system successfully transfers the Supervisor's capabilities to the Generator and Evaluator, improving their performance by 15.24\% and 13.98\%, respectively. Our experiments demonstrate a new paradigm of Supervisor Agent-mediated self-learning systems for improving generative AI model accuracy.

Apodex 1.1: Scaling Agentic Intelligence for Complex Work

Apodex 1.1 reaches the leading performance band despite using a substantially smaller model than many frontier systems, and the 35B-parameter Apodex 1.1 Mini further retains strong working capability in a locally deployable form.

Apodex 1.1: Scaling Agentic Intelligence for Complex Work

General-purpose language models can reason and synthesize knowledge, but complex work also requires sustained interaction with files, information sources, and executable code, together with state maintenance, failure recovery, and verifiable delivery. We call this \emph{working capability}: sustained, verifiable progress toward a real-world objective. Apodex 1.1 develops this capability along two complementary dimensions. \emph{Environment Scaling} expands the diversity and verifiability of executable file, search, and code environments, while \emph{Agentic Coordination Scaling} trains agents to decompose long-horizon tasks, delegate parallel work, integrate asynchronous results, and replan. A shared execution harness and AgentOS maintain task state and provenance across tools and agents, and training turns environment trajectories and coordination traces into reliable behavior. Across complex professional work, finance, scientific research, mathematics, coding, and search, Apodex 1.1 reaches the leading performance band despite using a substantially smaller model than many frontier systems. The 35B-parameter Apodex 1.1 Mini further retains strong working capability in a locally deployable form. These results ground agentic intelligence in useful, verifiable work completed over time and advance our goal of building a \emph{Heavy-Duty Solver} for ambitious, long-running tasks.
