REALM: Identifying Minimal Task Assets for LLM Agents

Large language model (LLM) agents often receive access to more files, accounts, and services than a task requires. Prompt injection turns this excess access into an opportunity to redirect execution toward unrelated resources. Applying least privilege therefore requires identifying the assets needed by a task, includin...

Clean Sheets and Checkpoints: Evidence Complexity for Certifying Sequential Agent Risk

Dangerous-capability evaluations often test an AI agent from prepared states at ordered milestones. A clean sheet records no successes. What it certifies about a campaign of $B$ attempts depends on what a failed attempt erases. We model the task as a chain of $k$ milestones divided into checkpoint segments and ask how...

Appreciation Teaches Unauthorized Execution: Self-Evolution Degrades the Robustness of Personal Agents to Indirect Prompt Injection

Self-evolving personal agents act for users and learn from user feedback. However, if an agent obeys an instruction that an untrusted third party hides in content, the third party gains control of the agent. Such indirect prompt injection (IPI) poses severe risks. We investigate whether self-evolution degrades the robu...

From Local Recovery to Unified Generation: Discovering Triple Set in Knowledge Graphs via Observation-Anchored Latent Diffusion

LatentDiff is proposed, a novel unified latent generative framework for TSP, which reformulates knowledge graph completion as latent space graph generation and introduces an observation-anchored latent graph diffusion model.

PCM: A Proof-Carrying Message Protocol for Verifiable Multi-Agent Communication

When one AI agent tells another that "the tests passed" or "a person approved this refund", the receiver has only the sender's word. A2A and MCP authenticate the channel, but the sender is the party in doubt, so a prompt-injected agent can launder fabricated facts and authority through a multi-agent system. We present...

Generating Critic-Guided Synthetic Experience in Latent World Models

This work introduces Critic-Guided Synthetic Experience (CGSE) generation in world models, using the world model as a local transition generator, leveraging critic guidance to choose actions inside that model to generate synthetic experiences offline.

Tactus: Tactile&Pose Sensing Glove for Natural Dexterity Data Collection

Tactus is presented, a textile-integrated sensing glove that co-optimizes three design pillars: a thin, conformal 3D-knit form factor, strategically placed capacitive tactile sensors at manipulation-relevant regions informed by empirical contact studies, and IMU-fused pose tracking that maintains accuracy through the h...

HERA: Assessing an Autonomous Agent for Quantum Device Measurement

Large language model agents have begun to carry out laboratory measurements, but their scientific conclusions are useful only if they hold up under scrutiny. Demonstrating this requires controlled studies because models are stochastic and the context a model is given steers its conclusions. Here we introduce HERA, an a...

When Does Closed-Loop Curriculum Adaptation Help GRPO? An Analysis on Countdown

Reinforcement fine-tuning has become an effective post-training paradigm for improving the reasoning ability of large language models, but it remains sample-inefficient when the training distribution is mismatched to the model's current capability. In group-relative objectives such as Group Relative Policy Optimization...

Reinforcement Learning for the Game of Balatro: A Fast Simulator and Two-Policy Training Approach

Balatro, a 2024 roguelike deckbuilder, presents three difficulties that have historically derailed reinforcement learning methods: a 3,000-action state-dependent action space, horizons of several hundred decisions with sparse rewards, and pervasive stochasticity in both card draws and shop generation. Published RL resu...

Representation Complexity Along Learning Trajectories: Trading Width for Precision and Time

What computational role does overparameterisation play during learning? Information-plane analyses suggest that neural networks can traverse representations substantially more complex than those required by their final predictors. We explore when this transient complexity serves a computational purpose by comparing the...

Distilling the Shape of Uncertainty: What On-Policy Distillation Learns and How to Predict It

On-policy distillation (OPD) is increasingly adopted in the post-training of large language models. However, a stronger teacher may fail to improve the student. Prior work attributes this to a lack of new knowledge, but what that knowledge is remains unclear. We show that OPD learns not only \textit{how to branch}, i.e...
