What Happens Inside Agent Memory? Circuit Analysis from Emergence to Diagnosis

An unsupervised stage-level diagnostic is developed that localizes silent failures to the responsible operation at 76.2% accuracy and establishes circuit-level signatures as a practical handle for monitoring agent memory and guiding its structural design.

Taming CoT Obfuscation in VLMs: From Mechanistic Evidence to Activation Enforcement

This work proposes Targeted Anti-obfuscation with Mechanistic Enforcement (TAME), which uses Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) to combine behavioral feedback with targeted suppression of template-associated activations during RL, providing a path from behavioral monitoring to representation-level oversight for more auditable...

Not All Preferences Deserve Gradients: Understanding Gradient Utility in Offline Reasoning Alignment

SAGE (Stability-Aware Gradient Efficiency), which maintains difficulty-stratified candidate pools refreshed during training and selects pairs within each pool by a forward-pass signal-to-curvature score, outperforms full-data and size-matched baselines while producing substantially smoother optimization trajectories.

Act More, Decide Less: Skill-Guided Adaptive Action Chunking for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

SPACE induces two-level programmatic skills from successful trajectories, where subskill boundaries serve as direct chunk-boundary supervision from trajectory-induced programmatic skills, and distilled into a primitive-chunk policy via hybrid on-/off-policy optimization.
