Clover fixes 96.8% of bugs on an RTL-repair benchmark using stochastic tree-of-thoughts and neural-symbolic agents, outperforming traditional and LLM baselines by 94% and 63% respectively with 87.5% pass@1.
AdverMCTS frames code generation as a minimax game where an attacker evolves tests to expose flaws in solver-generated code, yielding more robust outputs than static-test baselines.
A new dataset and nine-metric majority-vote procedure show that existing code-reasoning benchmarks are dominated by lower-complexity problems that do not reflect real-world code.
The first empirical study of test overfitting shows that auto-generated tests from issues can lead to code that passes observed tests but misses important cases or breaks functionality in SWE-bench issue resolution.
E-TTS introduces a plug-and-play test-time scaling method for embodied tasks that unifies reasoning-action sampling with history buffers and closed-loop refinement to improve performance on manipulation benchmarks.
The LLM-as-Environment-Engineer framework lets the policy model redesign its own RL environments on the new MAPF-FrozenLake testbed, outperforming larger models and fixed baselines with Qwen3-4B.
CoT SFT disrupts long-range routing in hybrid models via changes to W_Q and W_K; QK-Restore restores pre-SFT projections to recover NIAH performance.
RL-trained lightweight controller using answer statistics improves trade-offs among correctness, latency, and total samples in adaptive sampling for LLM test-time scaling.
Proposes PDF, a hierarchical multi-agent Perception-to-Deliberation Framework that adds experience self-evolution and test-time scaling to composed image retrieval, claiming SOTA on CIRR, CIRCO, and FashionIQ.
VLA-ATTC equips VLA models with adaptive test-time compute via an uncertainty clutch and relative action critic, cutting failure rates by over 50% on LIBERO-LONG.
DryRUN lets LLMs create their own test inputs and run internal simulations for self-correcting code generation, matching the performance of test-dependent methods like CodeSIM on LiveCodeBench without public tests or external signals.
SPS interleaves RL and IRL to counteract probability squeezing in LLM reasoning trajectories, improving Pass@k on five benchmarks while identifying an empirical upper bound on multi-sample performance.
Ensemble Semantic Entropy improves correlation with code correctness over single-model methods and powers a cascading scaling system that cuts FLOPs by 64.9% while preserving performance on LiveCodeBench.
Lack of exploration from conditioning on prior answers is the primary reason parallel sampling outperforms sequential sampling in large reasoning models.
