Humanize MLE Agents: Multi-Agent Session Alternation Beyond Single-Agent Limits

Existing LLM-based agent approaches for long-horizon machine learning engineering (MLE) often use context engineering, implemented through custom harnesses that manage tools, skills, and accumulated experience. However, we find that as single-session execution lengthens, the agent's reasoning intensity declines alongsi...

Branching On-Policy Distillation

On-policy distillation (OPD) provides teacher supervision on student-generated trajectories, but a single trajectory realizes only one continuation at each decision, limiting supervision coverage under a finite sampling budget. We propose BranchOPD (Branching On-Policy Distillation), which selects informative decision...

A Local Agentic AI Framework to Generate Edge Case Scenarios for Safety Assurance

Generating edge case scenarios is crucial for training, testing and safety assuring autonomous systems. This identifies hazardous failures to increase system reliability and robustness, ensures the system can still function safely on the boundaries of its operational design domain and learns the expected system behavio...

SqueezeBench: Saturation-Resilient Evaluation of Mathematical Capability

AI systems are making rapid progress in mathematics, but this progress is hard to measure. Benchmarks of solved problems saturate, and in benchmarks of open problems each problem can be resolved for the first time only once. We present SqueezeBench, a benchmark that is resilient to saturation: a success raises the bar...

Agentic Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) have taken the world by storm. Their ability to communicate with us in our own language, and to reason about our world, has made them a favorite tool for writing, answering questions, and much more. Their answers already influence our decisions and our actions. What would happen if LLMs the...

Rollout-Time Intervention: Unlocking Agentic Reinforcement Learning Beyond Policy Limits

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a key paradigm for improving large language model (LLM) agents, enabling stronger reasoning, planning, and tool-use in interactive environments. However, existing agent RL methods remain fundamentally constrained by an on-policy reasoning bottleneck: when tasks exceed the mode...

Local Diagnostics of Learned Event Representations for Anomaly Detection at the HL-LHC

Anomaly detection, the identification of collision events that deviate from Standard Model expectations, is one of the most promising model-agnostic strategies for new-physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider. Searching for rare events in learned low-dimensional representations removes the need to commit to hand-c...

Web$hell: A Unified Interface for Agentic Web Access

Large language model (LLM) agents are becoming direct users of the open web. As they take on increasingly complex and information-intensive tasks, effective web access is becoming a core capability for agentic problem solving. Existing approaches have advanced agentic web access through different access models, includi...

RegulaTutor: A Theory-Informed Framework for Long-Term Personalized Learning

Long-term personalized tutoring requires language models to translate a learner's evolving history into appropriate instructional support. Existing LLM-based tutoring systems use memory and retrieval to personalize responses, but the pedagogical rationale linking historical evidence to teaching strategies is not always...

SWE-Critix: Post-Training Generalist Verifiers for Assessing Coding-Agent Trajectories

Coding agents are increasingly deployed for end-to-end software engineering tasks, where a readily available oracle evaluator that defines the success criteria is often absent. This motivates verifications for coding agents that can reliably judge and explain their behavior. However, verification is non-trivial as codi...

AlphaNIST: Emergent Assembly Skills from Binary Task Rewards

The NIST Assembly Task Board #1 remains a challenging benchmark for learning-based methods in robotic manipulation. Over short horizons, it demands precise, contact-rich control of small, tight-fitting parts. Over long horizons, it requires recovery and coordination across extended action sequences. Demonstrations, tas...

Masked Diffusion Language Agents for Tool-Integrated Chemical Reasoning

Designing tool-integrated reasoning agent systems for complex chemical tasks remains a fundamental challenge. Although recent chemical agents have demonstrated promising performance through the integration of external tools, they are still built on the autoregressive paradigm, which is inherently constrained by causal...
