Just Ask Jev: Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions as a Zero-Shot Detector of AI Alignment Failures

RLCDAlignBench is presented, which benchmarks Jev on ten alignment failures: sycophancy, jailbreaks, deception, prompt injection, hallucination, privacy violation, social bias, reward hacking, concealing uncertainty, and power seeking.

Policy as Code: A Coroutine-Bridge Harness for Fast-Reasoning Reliability on CAR-bench

CAR-bench evaluates whether tool-using agents stay reliable under real-world uncertainty, executing every tool inside the evaluator so that each tool-result exchange is a separate agent round-trip. A conventional next-action agent can batch parallel tool calls, but a chain of dependent calls costs it one model call per...

MeshHeal: Two-Timescale Self-Healing for Gray Failures in Decentralized LLM Agent Networks

This work introduces MeshHeal, a fully decentralized self-healing framework that couples ability-matched peer review across two timescales and introduces Model-Backed MAS Evaluation, which ties ability assignments to execution models, since prompt-based ability assignments alone can leave routing errors hidden.

When Should Forecasting Agents Reason? Behavioral Stress Tests for Reliability Routing

A behavioral stress test showing that more reasoning is not always better; forecasting agents should first estimate which evidence source deserves control, routing policies should themselves adapt under auditable constraints, and reproducibility artifacts are available at https://github.com/louiswang524/forcastagent.

WARP: Wasserstein-Aligned RAG for Population Opinions

WARP is introduced, a family of post-retrieval algorithms that calibrate retrieved evidence to the population's opinion distribution, and its domain-matched variants reduce distributional error by at least 43% with sub-second latency.

MobileGym: A Verifiable and Highly Parallel Simulation Platform for Mobile GUI Agent Research

MobileGym enables two capabilities previously out of reach for everyday apps: verifiable outcome signals through deterministic state-based judging over structured JSON state, and scalable online RL through low-cost parallel rollouts through low-cost parallel rollouts.

DreamAvoid: Critical-Phase Test-Time Dreaming to Avoid Failures in VLA Policies

This work proposes DreamAvoid, a critical-phase test-time dreaming framework that enables VLA models to anticipate and avoid failures, and introduces an autonomous boundary learning paradigm to refine the system's understanding of the subtle boundary between success and failure.

MAGE: Safeguarding LLM Agents against Long-Horizon Threats via Shadow Memory

To the best knowledge, ShadowMem represents the first framework to detect and mitigate long-horizon threats using an agentic memory approach, establishing a new paradigm for this critical challenge and opening promising directions for future research.

Preregistered Belief Revision Contracts

It is proved that under evidential contracts with conservative fallback, social-only rounds cannot increase confidence and cannot generate purely conformity-driven wrong-but-sure cascades, and it is demonstrated that sound enforcement yields epistemic accountability.
