SGR-Bench evaluates agentic LLM systems on state-gated retrieval tasks where evidence is only accessible after configuring site-specific states, with the strongest system reaching 66.18% item-level F1 and failures dominated by retrieval-scope drift.
SkillSmith is a boundary-first compiler-runtime system that turns skill packages into minimal executable interfaces, cutting token usage 57%, thinking iterations 43%, and solve time 51% versus raw skill injection on SkillsBench.
MAGE uses a four-subgraph co-evolutionary knowledge graph plus dual bandits to externalize and retrieve experience for stable self-evolution of frozen language-model agents, showing gains on nine diverse benchmarks.
EquiMem calibrates shared memory in multi-agent debate by computing a game-theoretic equilibrium from agent queries and paths, outperforming heuristics and LLM validators across benchmarks while remaining robust to adversarial agents.
Weblica scales RL training for visual web agents by building thousands of reproducible environments through HTTP caching for stable replays and LLM synthesis from real sites, yielding an 8B model that beats similar open baselines on navigation benchmarks.
Open 4B and 8B visual web agents achieve state-of-the-art results on browser benchmarks by predicting actions from screenshots and instructions, outperforming similar open models and some closed larger-model agents, with full release of data and code planned.
HarnessX composes typed harness components, evolves them from execution traces via a four-stage meta-agent pipeline, and jointly fine-tunes the agent model, reporting +14.5% average peak gains on five benchmarks (validated only on the evolution set).
ReBel uses belief-consistency supervision and belief-aware grouping to improve credit assignment in long-horizon RL for LLM agents, achieving up to 20.4 percentage points higher success and 2.1x better sample efficiency than GRPO on ALFWorld and WebShop.
VPR converts symbolic, constraint, or posterior oracles into dense turn-level rewards for RL, improving credit assignment in agentic reasoning and transferring to general benchmarks.
Agentic memory improves clean reasoning but worsens performance when spurious patterns are present in stored trajectories; CAMEL calibration reduces this reliance while preserving clean performance.
WARD is a guard model trained on 177K web samples and adversarially hardened via attacker-guard co-evolution to achieve high recall on prompt injections with low false positives and no added latency.
