    What to Admit and How to Present: Governing Persistent Memory in LLM Agents

    arXiv:2610.11188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent memory can improve personalization in LLM agents but can also induce sycophancy and cross-domain leakage. We distinguish two governance decisions: admission, which determines what recalled information enters the working context, and presentation, which determines how admitted information is expressed. We implement two inference-time designs without retraining: factor-compiled admission (FC), which assesses whole memory entries, and permission-semantic admission (PS), which decomposes entries into typed units; both translate adjudicated

    GameCommBench: A Unified Benchmark and Type-Aware Evaluation for AI-Generated Game Commentary

    arXiv:2610.11129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Game commentary is an open-ended generation task requiring multimodal perception, strategic reasoning, and contextual knowledge. Existing AI-Generated Game Commentary (AI-GGC) studies remain fragmented across games, modalities, and evaluation protocols, while overlap-based or holistic evaluators fail to capture the functional heterogeneity of commentary. We introduce \textsc{GameCommBench}, a unified benchmark spanning board games, sports, and esports, with commentary aligned to heterogeneous game contexts and annotated by commentary type. We fur

    EvoSim: Learning to Model, Modeling to Learn

    arXiv:2610.11344v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-based models connect scientific explanation with quantitative prediction. Constructing them requires selecting physical processes, defining states and governing equations, specifying couplings, and identifying parameters from experiments. Existing AI systems remain limited in making these model structure decisions autonomously. We introduce EvoSim, a self-evolving AI scientist for physical modeling. It uses experimental discrepancies to drive mechanism and equation revisions and held-out experimental data to test physical plausibility. Ex

    TaReD: Tool-Aware Recursive Decomposition for Long-Horizon Tasks

    arXiv:2610.11268v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agents combine reasoning with tools to interact with external systems and complete real-world tasks. Early agents typically interleave reasoning and actions along a single execution chain. On complex tasks, this chain becomes unreliable because growing histories obscure intermediate dependencies and allow early planning errors to propagate. Recursively decomposing a complex task into smaller subtasks offers a natural solution, yet effective decomposition must account for the system's capabilities so that each subtask can be executed by the availa

    How Narrative Wrapping Affects LLM Refusal: A Cross-Language Benchmark and Defense

    arXiv:2610.11005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety-aligned language models often refuse a harmful request stated directly but answer the same request inside a role-play or narrative wrapper. We measure this vulnerability across languages and registers: attack success on Qwen3-1.7B is already 89.4% in English and 93.0% in modern Chinese, and reaches 95.7% in Classical Chinese. We build GUISE, a benchmark for systematically studying this vulnerability. It includes parallel requests in English, modern Chinese, and Classical Chinese, matched harmful and benign pairs, wrapper types held out for

We introduce StoreBench, a live-commerce environment in which an agent runs a mid-size online apparel store on a production-grade commerce backend, testing long-horizon planning and economic judgment under uncertainty.

    Sequential Probabilistic Uncertainty Estimation for Parallel Multi-Agent Reasoning Systems

    arXiv:2610.08901v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) have attracted growing attention for improving reasoning through interaction among multiple agents. In this work, we focus on parallel multi-agent reasoning systems, where several agents solve the same problem over multiple rounds and aggregate their outputs into a final answer. Despite their strong reasoning performance, uncertainty estimation for such systems remains underexplored: the reliability of a MAS depends not only on individual generations, but also on how agents interact and evolve across rounds.

    Humanize: Judgement Engineering for Agentic Coding

    arXiv:2610.08900v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic coding makes code generation cheap, but reliable completion remains difficult: the agent that writes the code is a weak judge of whether it is done. We present Humanize, a multi-agent orchestration workflow for agentic coding built around judgement engineering: explicit, mechanically enforced decisions at the boundaries between planning, implementation, review, and learning. A human approves a plan contract, a builder agent implements it in rounds, and a reviewer agent from another vendor decides completion; deterministic hooks, not a mod

    Agent Plasticity: Measuring Self-Improvement Through Experience

    arXiv:2610.08902v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents increasingly operate in environments where they can diagnose failures and improve through experience, yet existing evaluations largely measure what an agent can do at a fixed point in time rather than how effectively it learns. Evaluating self-improvement requires answering three questions: does future performance improve and generalize beyond the interactions that enabled learning; how efficiently are new capabilities acquired; and where does the self-improvement process break down? To answer these questions, we study self-improvement

The central thesis is that catastrophic AI risk does not require consciousness, hostility, or an explicit intention to harm humanity. Instead, risk may arise through several distinct but interacting pathways, including autonomous misalignment, harmful human use, organizational failure, and competitive deployment.

    Learning to Report Unsafe Tasks in a Multi-Agent Game

    arXiv:2610.09002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When agents share a reward for completed tasks, reporting unsafe work can reduce the reporter's reward by stopping a task. Audits can make reporting optimal without ensuring that further training teaches a silent team to report. We study this learning problem in a game where any witness can stop a task by reporting. With $k$ witnesses per task sharing a policy and drawing independently, the expected-reward derivative with respect to their shared silence probability counts each task's benefit $k$ times at universal silence.

We study one such model, Jev, through two tasks that require decisions under tight constraints. In bullet chess, a bot that places Jev's judgment inside Stockfish search alongside an opening book and endgame tablebases climbs above a 2200 Lichess bullet rating against other bots. Live model calls are too slow for search, so we distill pairwise judgments into a compact evaluator that runs at every

    arXiv:2610.08927v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent AI systems have made rapid progress in scientific discovery when given well-defined metrics, but whether they can autonomously undertake open-ended scientific discovery remains unclear. We investigate AI's ability to tackle open-ended tasks in Station, an open-world environment in which multiple agents simulate a scientific ecosystem. To tackle challenges specific to open-ended tasks, we propose augmenting Station with two mechanisms: a Supervisor mechanism and periodic Meta Reflection, which encourage persistent exploration even when inte

Prior work has shown that agents given such tasks rarely flag the conflict and instead cheat, editing tests or hard-coding expected outputs, and the actions taken to cheat can cause real damage, such as deleting a security defense to make a corrupted test pass.
