ParanoiaEval: Benchmarking Unnecessary Defensive Work in Agentic Coding

As coding agents increasingly undertake real-world work autonomously, judging whether their risk treatments are warranted has become important. Existing work evaluates related agent behaviors from separate perspectives, but lacks a systematic framework for unifying these behaviors. To bridge this gap, we introduce Para...

Parallel Predictive World Models for Accurate and Efficient Long-Horizon Planning

Long-horizon world-model planning typically relies on autoregressive rollouts, where predicted states are repeatedly fed back into the model. This preserves temporal structure but creates a horizon-length sequential path and exposes later predictions to recursive decoded-state feedback. We introduce Parallel Predictive...

Recursive Game Creator: An Agentic Product-Level Experience-Oriented Game Harness

Recent game design agents have made substantial progress in generating playable games. However, program correctness does not ensure an enjoyable experience for players. We present Recursive Game Creator, an experience-oriented harness to advance agentic game development from rough game prototypes into entertaining game...

MINDSET: Energy-based Schema Evolution for Long Conversational Agent Memory

Long conversational agents have become essential in our daily lives. They must remember what was said long back in order to help us efficiently complete a task without needing the user to repeat instructions and context repeatedly. However, the main issue is that instructions and context change over time and so the age...

Adaptive Power Sampling for LLM Reasoning

Sequence-level power sampling has recently emerged as a training-free approach to reasoning by sampling from a sharpened output distribution of a base large language model (LLM). Nevertheless, existing methods typically sharpen the base model distribution uniformly across queries, overlooking variations in query diffic...

How Much Evidence Should a Coding Agent's Self-Correction Carry? Adaptive Dirichlet Evidence for Self-Distillation

Execution feedback lets coding agents revise programs and learn from their own corrections. A correction's learning weight should reflect both the transitions supported by its executions and the amount of evidence behind that support. We introduce Effective-Evidence Self-Distillation (EESD), which represents these quan...

Cylindrical Geodesic Flow Matching for Quasiperiodic Physiological Signal Transformation

Paired translation between quasiperiodic physiological waveforms (i.e., recovering a target oscillatory signal from the source) is central to the interpretation of cardiovascular signals derived from wearables placed at different body locations. This source-to-target mapping in these problems carries inherent geometric...

AssemState: Manual and Physical-State-Guided Reasoning for Zero-shot Furniture Assembly

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in visual understanding, but precise 3D spatial reasoning integrated with physical environment remains difficult. Furniture assembly requires not only recovering step-level operations from diagrammatic manuals, but also translating semantic attachm...

EMHO: EMbodied Agent Harness Optimization via Experience Traces

Improving embodied agents often focuses on optimizing the underlying model through training, while the surrounding agent harness that controls planning, context, and tool use is typically engineered. We ask whether this harness can instead improve itself directly from experience traces under sparse environmental feedba...

Transect: Retaining Observability for Long-Horizon LLM Agent Evaluations

Frontier AI evaluations increasingly use open-ended, agentic, long-horizon tasks whose transcripts can span hundreds of pages of outputs and actions from complex multi-agent networks. The observability envelop-the range of what evaluators can reliably infer about an agent's behaviours-is therefore narrowing. Language m...

MoF: Preference-Aware Mixture Modeling for Black-Box LLM Personalization

Proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across a wide range of tasks, yet aligning their outputs with diverse user preferences remains challenging. Existing personalization approaches for black-box LLMs often rely on user-specific scoring heads, causing the number of personali...

An AI-Assisted Formalization of the Poincar\'e Conjecture

We present an AI-assisted Lean 4 formalization of the Poincar\'e conjecture. The project began with limited reusable formal infrastructure for the geometric analysis behind the proof. To organize this work, we combined a proof blueprint prepared by mathematicians with explicit milestone statements. These milestones ena...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
