    Not Every Call Needs a Frontier Model: Per-Call-Site Evaluation of Small Language Models in a Deployed Agentic Home-Automation System

    arXiv:2610.09021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An agentic system issues several structurally different kinds of LLM calls. It routes intent, classifies actions, grounds language in a device registry, plans multi-agent pipelines and writes the Python code those pipelines run. The difficulty of these call sites varies by an order of magnitude, yet in practice a single model, chosen for the hardest site, serves all of them. In this work, we evaluate 9 models from 0.8B to a frontier hosted model across the five call sites of a deployed open-source home-automation framework (Wactorz), using its un

    Enabling Dynamic Computation in Looped LMs

    arXiv:2610.09013v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped LMs are parameter efficient and promise dynamic computation (saving memory and FLOPs on easy tokens). However, state-of-the-art open Looped LMs trained with this dynamic computation capability (Ouro models) do not realize it in practice as each loop iteration (depth) requires its own level of KV-cache, necessitating all loop computations. Moreover, Ouro's early-exit prior is enforced on each token equally, which results in static lower-depth like processing of all tokens regardless of difficulty. In this work, we propose a simple "best-ava

    SpecGuard: Proving a Task Is Broken Before the Agent Cheats

    arXiv:2610.09159v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As autonomous coding agents get increasingly deployed, the risk that accidental or adversarially injected misspecifications in tasks lead to dangerous agent behavior is critical to address. 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. It remains unclear whether such conflicts can be established with independently verifiable evidence

    Finding Blind Spots in AppWorld and WorkArena Task Verifiers

    arXiv:2610.09142v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Execution-based task verifiers decide whether an agent succeeded. We audit shipped AppWorld and WorkArena verifiers with source-informed mutation tests. The main audit never modifies a shipped checker. In AppWorld, duplicating a non-idempotent write creates an extra record while preserving every checked field value. The verifier accepts all three task variants from two of five eligible generators: 6/15 constructed effects. A cardinality patch applied to checker copies after the census makes all six cells fail while preserving valid controls. In W

    DIVA: Dual-Space Intent-Aware Visual Attenuation for Vision-Language-Action Policies

    arXiv:2610.09144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) policies typically feed dense visual patch tokens into a language-action backbone, preserving scene context but offering no explicit mechanism to regulate how strongly different visual tokens influence policy computation. We introduce DIVA, a Dual-Space Intent-Aware Visual Attenuation module with an anchor-then-attenuate design. DIVA combines high-level task intent with low-level visual evidence to estimate patch-wise relevance anchors, then applies them in two complementary spaces: it reweights projected visual token

    Verify Less, Evolve More: Training Idea-Level Critics for Verification-Efficient ML Evolving Agents

    arXiv:2610.08993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models become more powerful, self-evolving agents are able to tackle challenging tasks including AI for machine learning (AI4ML). In AI4ML, while empirical verification is available, it often requires computationally costly model training and evaluation, limiting the speed and scale of agent evolution. Yet verification efficiency remains under-explored, and frontier models provide only limited gains when used directly as idea selectors. We address this gap with specialized idea-level critic models that predict whether a proposed

    How Fragile Is On-Device Language Model Safety? Localizing Safety-Critical Parameters for Sparse Fault Analysis

    arXiv:2610.09000v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As small language models (SLMs) are increasingly deployed on resource-constrained and on-device platforms, including as components of agentic systems, the integrity of locally stored model parameters becomes an important safety concern. We investigate whether safety-sensitive behavior in LLaMA-2-7B-Chat is concentrated within a sparse subset of parameters, creating a reduced fault surface for targeted analysis. We study two complementary localization methods: low-rank safety-associated subspace analysis and parameter-level safety--utility importa

    Shared-Roadmap Generation and Evaluator for Multi-Agent Path Planning Using Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network

    arXiv:2610.09034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent path planning (MAPP) in continuous environments often relies on roadmaps to balance safety and search efficiency. However, traditional roadmap generation methods, such as lattice grids or standard sampling-based approaches, frequently face a trade-off between graph density and the likelihood of finding feasible, high-quality solutions. In this paper, we propose a scalable heterogeneous Graph Neural Network (GNN) framework for the automated generation and evaluation of shared multi-agent roadmaps. Our model covers the representation of

    Sigma-Hunter: A Domain-Specific Language Model for Threat Hunting and Detection Engineering

General-purpose large language models (LLMs) can draft such rules, but often produce invalid YAML, incorrect log sources, unsupported fields, or overly broad detection logic. This paper presents \emph{Sigma-Hunter}, a domain-adapted LLM for analyst-assistive Sigma rule generation and threat hunting.

    Can AI Agents Make Open-Ended Scientific Discovery? Evidence from Station

    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

    Whose Memory Is It? Scope-Aware Commit Rules for Long-Term LLM Memory

    arXiv:2610.09008v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent memory allows an LLM agent to carry experience across conversations, but it also turns a local reasoning mistake into a durable one. During deliberation, an agent may consider a plan, simulate a tool result, report another speaker's belief, and then reject all of them. If memory retains only the resulting sentences, those once-useful possibilities can later return as facts. The record is neither fabricated nor irrelevant; it has simply been detached from the context in which it was valid. We identify this missing context as \emph{disco

    Sequential Probabilistic Uncertainty Estimation for Parallel Multi-Agent Reasoning Systems

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.

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.

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

    Humanity's Sixth Sense: Benchmarking Intuitive Visual Reasoning in Multimodal Models

This capacity reflects a form of humanity's sixth sense: an intuitive reasoning mechanism that recovers implicit information beyond raw sensory perception. Crucially, this rapid, zero-shot visu

While recent optimization-based SMT solvers have successfully applied gradient descent to continuous relaxations of logical formulas, they are fundamentally bottlenecked by gradient domination, a phenomenon where a small subset of difficult clauses hijacks the optimization trajectory, preventing the solver from satisfying the broader formula and trap

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?

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.
