Automating the search for effective harnesses is an important step toward enabling agents to recursively self-improve. Existing harness optimizations typically produce a single global harness that is applied uniformly across task instances. However, a harness that works well on average may not be optimal for every instance. We introduce Turbo Harness, a framework that can adapt a globally optimized harness to each instance by reusing information generated during the original optimization process. Specifically, Turbo Harness recycles artifacts produced during a completed global harness optimization run, and summarizes them into a structured playbook. We train a harness editor to leverage this prior optimization experience to generate instance-specific patches to the global harness. At inference time, the editor uses the instance and the playbook to construct a tailored harness in which the execution model operates. Through numerical experiments, we show that Turbo Harness consistently outperforms existing harness optimization baselines across seven benchmarks spanning interactive agent tasks, software engineering, and long-horizon terminal tasks.

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This work shows that orders of magnitude enhancement in performance could be obtained by a combination of hardware improvements and tight quantum-HPC integration and introduces high-performance architectures for quantum-probabilistic computing with custom-designed accelerators to tackle today's industry-scale classical...
