Harness-S: Learning from Sibling Harnesses for Generalizable Agent Training

Harness evolution from a common base exhibits Locality, Complementarity, and Nonstationarity: variants repair different failures, and their utility changes as the policy learns. Rather than seeking a universally superior harness, we introduce Harness-S to selectively rescue failures of a base execution system through s...

Reliability Stress Testing of RAG Retrieval under Query-Relevant Corpus Poisoning

External text can affect a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system only after the retriever admits it to the model context. We stress this admission step while varying document content, attacker query information, per-target poison budget, and contamination scope. Across 623 Benchmarking Information Retrieval (BEIR...

Neologism Inoculation Prompting

Inoculation prompting is a method to reduce undesired behaviours such as reward hacking in frontier models. It works by training a model on harmful examples under a prompt that specifies the undesired behaviour, which reduces the model's tendency to exhibit it unless prompted. However, the inoculation prompt is written...

AceAction-5M: Hierarchical Goals for Generalist Action Learning Across 3D Game Worlds

Video games provide a practical setting for collecting vision-language-action (VLA) data, whose acquisition in physical environments is costly. Existing datasets, however, remain limited by restricted game coverage, sparse language supervision, or temporal hierarchies that do not necessarily reflect changes in task obj...

Exact Optimality Certification of QPLIB 2096 through Complete Set Partitioning

We present an exact computational proof that the frozen QPLIB_2096 instance has global minimum 7,025,720. The solution and certification approach was explored and refined through ZiYor, a self-evolving AI system. The authors provide the mathematical account and exact validation reported here. The original formulation h...

DualWorldBench: Can Agents Plan Deliveries across Symbolic and Grounded Worlds?

Recent multimodal agents have shown promising progress in embodied planning and web interaction. However, existing evaluations often rely on simplified tasks with limited combinatorial structure, leaving it unclear whether current agents can robustly integrate perception and reasoning for multi-goal planning under temp...

Toward User-Centered Agentic Recommendation: When Does Platform Competition Benefit Users?

Conventional recommender systems operate within platform-specific catalogs, limiting access to potentially valuable resources across platforms. We propose user-centered agentic recommendation, a paradigm in which user agents compare recommendations from competing platform agents, and formalize their interaction as a re...

DoGNAVY-Exploit: Harnessing Parallel Open-Weight Agents for Stage-Aware Vulnerability Exploitation

Frontier LLM agents can turn known vulnerabilities into working exploits, but are costly and often access-restricted due to their potential for malicious use. Open-weight models offer a more accessible alternative, but struggle to maintain progress across long exploitation chains. They also often fail to apply relevant...

Clocks all the way down: does sequence-processing AI need endogenous temporal structure?

Mainstream sequence-processing AI is temporally reactive: each update is driven by input and learned state transitions, rather than by an independently evolving internal temporal reference. Biological brains, by contrast, continuously generate rhythmic activity that structures perception, memory, and cognition, and thi...

Validation-Gated ML Pipeline Synthesis with Expert-Grounded Self-Evolving Skills

EvoML is presented, an agentic framework for end-to-end ML pipeline synthesis built on expert-grounded skills that evolve across runs, executed through a validation-gated harness and achieves full automation and the best final model quality on all eight datasets.

Palimpsestic Accountability in the US Federal AI Inventories

An AI inventory is a structured, often public record in which a government or organization lists and describes the AI systems it uses or plans to use. Studies of single AI inventory releases describe what systems do but say little about how they are governed over time. We linked entries across three releases of the US...

Interpretable Early Termination of Web Navigation Agents via Closed Sequential Pattern Mining

Web navigation agents built on open-weight language models fail often and fail late, with most of the tokens spent after the trajectory has become unrecoverable. Recent work has shown that early termination is a viable cost-reduction strategy, but existing approaches produce opaque termination decisions that do not sup...
