Understanding and Mitigating Inference-Time Overreliance Using Agentic Memory

Agentic memory allows LLM agents to reuse past experience, yet retrieved memories can also distort inference even when they are benign, correctly stored, and appropriately retrieved. We study this failure mode, which we call memory over-reliance. Across benchmarks and memory architectures, we find that memory is useful...

The Right Memory in the Wrong Context: Verifying Retrieval Admissibility in Long-Term Agent Memory

Long-term-memory agents can retrieve relevant information that is inadmissible for the current request because it belongs to another principal, violates policy, or reflects an incompatible lifecycle state. Recall and final-answer accuracy do not reveal this: a route can appear safe by missing required evidence, while a...

A Trust Layer for Agent Evaluation

Deterministic benchmark scores show that an agent received credit, but not whether that credit was earned, reported honestly, or would hold on a second run. We introduce a Trust Layer for Agent Evaluation, an additive post-hoc framework that reports, beside each recorded score, whether it should be believed. It verifie...

Does the Model Use the Feature? Separating Steering from Mechanism in LLMs

Internal features in LLMs are often interpreted as mechanisms when they track a concept and their manipulation changes a related behavior. Yet steering can push a feature far outside its natural range, where its effects need not reflect the model's own computation. We examine this inference and propose an empirical con...

Verifying Coordination in Parallel Coding Agents: NP-Bench and a Scheduling Planner

A team of coding agents can look fine agent by agent yet fail as a team: each passes its own tests while the merged result is broken, and single-agent evaluation never catches it. As teams run several LLM coding agents in parallel on one codebase, the agents collide: two rewrite the same function, one codes against a c...

MemMux: Runtime Verification and Honest Resource Attribution for Fleets of Parallel Coding Agents

Developers increasingly run a fleet of coding agents side by side on one workstation. The tools they reach for, terminal multiplexers like tmux and a new generation of agent managers, were built to arrange windows, not to govern memory. When ten agents each spawn language servers, test runners, and browsers, no standar...

Internalizing Agent Experience into Diffusion Model Weights via On-Policy Context Distillation

Wrapping an image generation model in an agentic harness can effectively boost Text-to-Image task performance: the harness can leverage memory, skills, workflow orchestration, result verification, and iterative refinement to continually construct and revise prompts, thereby eliciting better images. These gains, however...

Can Semantic Geometry Teach an AI Judgement?

How can an AI agent determine what rules to follow? One rule permits an action. Another imposes a condition, exception, or conflicting obligation. Deterministic systems can resolve those relationships when they have been specified. When they remain implicit in language, an agent can follow one rule while missing anothe...

SPECTRUM: Proximal Spectral Modulation for Looped Self-Distillation

A model that learns from its own outputs inherits more than their correctness: it inherits which solutions it produces. We formulate Looped Self-Distillation, a self-evolution framework for code generation in which a model repeatedly generates and learns from its own raw outputs, under a fixed information budget, witho...

Cascadia: Resident 975B MoE Inference on Eleven AI PCs

Mixture-of-experts models make nearly trillion-parameter capacity accessible with sparse per-token computation, provided that the serving system can distribute the weights and coordinate their execution. We present Cascadia's resident execution of Inkling, a 975B-total/41B-active-parameter model, on eleven Intel Core U...

Energy-Conditioned Noise Schedule and Whitening for Spectral Diffusion

This paper introduces an energy-adaptive noise scheduling and whitening strategy for transform-domain diffusion models. Existing spectral diffusion methods account for the non-uniform statistics of transform coefficients through coefficient scaling, normalization, or frequency prioritization, while the forward diffusio...

Sim-to-Real Transfer of Vision-Language Navigation in Continuous Environments Using an Ackermann-Steered Mobile Robot

Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) enables robots to navigate through environments using natural language instructions, making human-robot interaction intuitive. Traditional VLN models often rely on navigation graphs, 360-degree views, and perfect localization which pose significant challenges when adapting these models...

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.
