AgentSWE is introduced, a benchmark for agent software engineering spanning three stages of the agent development lifecycle: Creation of a complete agent from a natural-language requirement, Editing of production agent codebases, and Optimization toward a measurable target.

In-context-learning Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) are uniquely suited to scenarios with limited resources or privacy constraints, as they solve new tasks without additional training. However, their architecture consists of multiple transformer blocks, resulting in high computational and memory footprints. Meanwhile,...
Generative modeling for discrete data has been significantly advanced by learning continuous vector fields on the statistical manifolds to transport simple priors to target discrete distributions. However, because these continuous-time flows are not constrained to follow geodesics on the statistical manifold, thereby r...

Surprisingly, frozen recurrent networks support recall over hundreds of steps and achieve competitive control performance across diverse POMDPs, while using less than half the number of trainable parameters required by their fully trainable counterparts.

Continual post-training faces a dual challenge of acquisition and retention: models must learn new capabilities while preserving prior knowledge. While Self-Distillation Fine-Tuning (SDFT) mitigates this using self-supervision with in-context demonstrations, it relies on strong in-context learning and instruction-follo...

Counterfactual text editing is the ability to revise a given text in light of a hypothetical change while preserving facts not causally affected by that change. When asked what would have happened if a doctor had not recommended surgery, the model output should retain the patient's medical history and modify only the c...

Reinforcement learning has become the foundational paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of LLMs. Yet the dominant approach, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), relies on a geometrically degenerate clipping proxy that cannot adapt its resistance to policy shifts, leading to premature clipping and degraded e...

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) remains a widely used approach for post-training large language models, because fixed demonstrations can directly introduce desired reasoning strategies and behavioral patterns. Yet forcing a model to imitate externally provided trajectories may also interfere with behaviors already support...

Embodied agents must translate multimodal observations and user requests into executable actions while adapting to product constraints, changing goals, and execution feedback. We present JoyInside-VLM-Agent, a ReAct-style multimodal agent developed through product-conditioned trajectory construction and staged policy l...

A simulator summarizes an environment in a state that users can read and change. Generative models learn representations of the world without explicit specification, but offer no built-in way to edit that world's state. We investigate the conditions under which a generative model can act as a simulator through $\textit...

Knowledge distillation aims to train a smaller student model to mimic a larger teacher model for resource-constrained environments. However, the process of distillation is typically data-intensive and computationally expensive, particularly for generative tasks. Few-shot distillation offers an alternative by transferri...
Large Language Model (LLM)-guided evolutionary optimization has successfully improved prompts, programs, and even entire AI systems. Most optimization methods select a candidate from the search frontier, then mutate it in one LLM pass based only on its failures. This focus on the frontier can stall on production AI sys...

Prabha Jha used her experience with MIT Open Learning’s program for senior executives to develop AI solutions for her employer, Verizon, and to write a book.
Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
