Multi-Legal-Bench: When the Answer Is in the Input. Label Leakage in Legal Benchmarks Built from Court Registries

Court registries publish millions of decisions with structured metadata, which makes them an attractive source of labelled legal benchmarks: the court type, the form of the decision and its subject area come for free. We show that this convenience has a cost that registry-derived benchmarks rarely measure. We build Mul...

EviLink: Multi-Path Schema Linking with Uncertainty-Guided Evidence Acquisition for Large-Scale Text-to-SQL

This work reframe schema linking as uncertainty-aware schema-need inference over multiple plausible SQL paths, where the system distinguishes required schema items from path-dependent uncertain ones and acquires evidence only where needed.

PhoneWorld: From Real-App Trajectories to Dynamic and Verifiable Environments for Phone-Use Agents

Real applications provide the training setting closest to phone-agent deployment, but are difficult to reset, scale safely, and verify programmatically. Static screenshots and interaction trajectories preserve realistic evidence but cannot generate new experience. We introduce PhoneWorld, a trace-grounded framework tha...

DeferMem: Query-Time Evidence Distillation via Reinforcement Learning for Long-Term Agent Memory

Large language model (LLM) agents still struggle to effectively use long-term memory, with answer-supporting evidence often scattered across long conversational histories and buried in substantial irrelevant content. Existing memory systems commonly process memory into dedicated units before future queries are known an...

COTCAgent: Preventive Consultation via Probabilistic Chain-of-Thought Completion

Sequential diagnosis requires ranking diseases from a sparse intake under a public budget of follow-up questions, which is diagnostic triage with missing findings rather than screening of people who have no symptoms. Because laboratory series arrive irregularly and histories remain incomplete, the ranking must be updat...

Agent Collectives Should Not Detect Their Own Imposters: A Chess Case Study

It is found that merely warning the agents of potential imposter presence is not beneficial: it degrades decisions when no imposter is present, provokes reactions ranging from self-accusation to scapegoating, inflates token use, and reveals to the imposter how it was uncovered.

AIPO: Learning to Reason from Active Interaction

This work proposes AIPO, an enhanced reinforcement learning framework that improves LLM reasoning through active multi-agent interaction during exploration and consistently improves reasoning performance and generalizes across different policy models, collaborator backbones, and RLVR algorithms.

Tool Calling is Linearly Readable and Steerable in Language Models

The model's hidden state provides a way to read, steer, and check tool choice before a call is made, suggesting that the model's hidden state provides a way to read, steer, and check tool choice before a call is made.

GazeVLM: Active Vision via Internal Attention Control for Multimodal Reasoning

Human visual reasoning is governed by active vision, a process where meta-cognitive control drives top-down goal-directed attention, dynamically routing foveal focus toward task-relevant details while maintaining peripheral awareness of the global scene. In contrast, modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) process visual...

Memory-Efficient Looped Transformer: Decoupling Compute from Memory in Looped Language Models

Recurrent LLM architectures have emerged as a promising approach for improving reasoning, as they enable multi-step computation in the embedding space without generating intermediate tokens. Models such as Ouro perform reasoning by iteratively updating internal representations while retaining a standard Key-Value (KV)...
