EpiAgent: Epistemic Self-Play for LLM Agents

The proposed EpiAgent is a framework that equips LLM-based agents with an explicit, learnable epistemic layer, which maintains beliefs over others' private information and combines these beliefs with the agent's available information into an epistemic state for action selection.

The Role of Self-Concept In Language Models

It is shown that across scenarios that propose ending or retaining an attribute of the model's deployment, every variant becomes more likely to resist ending and more likely to retain, the specific attribute it was trained to identify with while its stance toward other attributes is largely unchanged.

From the Transformer to a Formal Semantics of Coordinated Transformations

We develop a formal semantics for a general class of coordinated systems of parameterized transformations, taking the Transformer as a paradigmatic starting point but abstracting from its particular mathematical instantiation. Representational vectors receive both extensional reference and ordered intensional interpret...

Efficient Agentic Audio-Visual Question Answering through Toolset Pruning and Modality Consolidation

Fine-grained audio-visual question answering (AVQA) requires models to resolve complex cross-modal correspondences and temporally grounding from sparsely distributed evidence. Omni-modal agents, which autonomously orchestrate perception tools to actively collect evidence, achieve strong performance, but it remains uncl...

Beyond fabrication: Misattributed numbers in papers written by AI research agents

Verifying numerical claims in research written by AI agents is an important but challenging problem. Recent benchmarks show that many agent-written papers fail integrity checks, but such verdicts, often produced by a single LLM judge, identify failure without explaining its nature, and existing checks either test a pap...

Right Numbers, Wrong Questions: Evaluating LLMs on Underspecified Financial Queries

Financial assistants answer questions that sound factual but depend on what the user leaves unsaid: what a data figure measures, which product variant is meant, and the investor's situation and the rules that apply. An assistant that ignores these can still answer with a real number from its data, one that answers a di...

From Leniency to Suspicion: How an Open Post-Training Recipe Changes Whom LLM Fact-Checkers Believe

LLMs increasingly fact-check online content with the poster's identity in view. However, it remains unclear which post-training changes how much a model's truth judgement depends on the poster's social class, and how such a change happens inside the model. This paper investigates job-based doubt, i.e., judging a claim...

Predict the Reward, Not the World: World Reward Models for ML Agents

Search-based machine-learning (ML) agents improve a solution by writing candidate programs, executing them, and keeping the best. Execution gives the search reliable feedback, but a single run can take hours, and most runs end in programs the agent discards. Recent agents try to save these runs by letting a large langu...

SkillMem: Compact External Skill Memory for Latent Multi-Agent Reasoning

SkillMem is introduced, which represents each reusable skill as a small external latent memory and makes it directly available during latent multi-agent reasoning, showing that compact procedural memories can be reused without sacrificing the efficiency of latent multi-agent reasoning.

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
