Why Do Agent Teams Fail Across Boundaries? A Failure Taxonomy for Agent-to-Agent Systems with Private States

Agents are increasingly interacting with other agents that act for different principals (people or organizations on whose behalf they work), such as a buyer's personal agent negotiating with an enterprise's seller agent. In such agent-to-agent (A2A) scenarios, each agent has its own environment and holds information an...

Harnessing LLM Agents with Skill Programs

This work introduces HASP (Harnessing LLM Agents with Skill Programs), a new framework that upgrades skills into executable Program Functions (PFs) that act as executable guardrails that activate on failure-prone states and modify the next action or inject corrective context.

Understanding the Synergy between SFT, RLVR, and OPD in LLM Post-Training

This work characterize OPD across nine student-teacher pairs spanning 2x to 53x parameter ratios and shows that OPD effectiveness depends on student-teacher compatibility rather than teacher scale alone, and suggests that each post-training stage should be chosen not only for the capability it adds, but for the learnin...

Flattening Every Memory Peak in Long-Context Mixture-of-Experts Training

Four parallelism plans are left unbounded by the parallelism plans in common use, and each grows differently: expert dispatch with the routing matrix, the vocabulary projection with tokens times vocabulary, gradient checkpoint boundaries with depth times sequence length, and optimizer state with parameter count.

EvoHarnessBench: Can Your Agents Keep Pace with an Evolving Harness?

EvoHarnessBench is introduced, a benchmark for evaluating agents under controlled harness evolution across three axes (tools, skills, and agents), and establishes harness evolution as a distinct challenge for building agents that can keep pace with an evolving harness while preserving previously effective behavior.

VisEditBench: Can Vision-Language Models Edit Visualization Code from Multimodal Feedback?

This work introduces VisEditBench, a benchmark of 1,395 human-annotated visualization code-editing tasks grounded in realistic visualization workflows and failure cases, and proposes VisEditAgent, a render-grounded editing framework that iteratively generates, executes, validates, and refines candidate edits.

DSAgentBench: Can Agents Automate End-to-End Data-Science Workflows in Real Computer Environments?

DSAgentBench is introduced, the first benchmark to evaluate whether agents can automate full data-science workflows inside real computer environments, and reveals a substantial capability gap between current agentic systems and real data-science workflows.

Learning Generalizable Behaviors for Terminal Agents

River, a simple training recipe that improves reward quality by filtering low-quality environments and augmenting outcome rewards with process-level behavior regularization is proposed, which achieves the best performance among evaluated open-source RL-trained 8B models across four terminal-agent benchmarks.
