Stronger language models may increasingly construct useful procedures for themselves, reducing the advantage of developer-supplied scaffolding. We investigate why this advantage persists and whether an environment-agnostic agent can be improved without environment-specific engineering. We evaluate a Codex-based agent i...
Computer-use agents increasingly tackle long-horizon tasks, where running a frontier model at every step is expensive and a small open-weight model alone often fails. Weak-to-strong escalation offers a middle ground where a weak agent acts by default and hands control to a strong one only when needed. The core challeng...

The O-RAN ALLIANCE introduces architectural flexibility through disaggregation and AI-driven control. While the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) enables centralized optimization, current AI approaches lack reasoning capabilities and explainability. We propose eXplainable RIC (X-RIC), a novel framework integrating agent...
Small language models are increasingly deployed on edge devices and robotic systems to meet cost and latency constraints, yet their limited capabilities can make reliable deployment challenging. Stronger models can provide assistance when needed, but deciding when to route a weak-model response to a stronger model ofte...

AI agents take actions through tools. Some actions are sensitive, so guards that supervise them must themselves be evaluated reliably. Yet the data used to evaluate a guard can include cues that make labels predictable without measuring the intended safety construct, and those cues can also influence guard decisions. W...
Multiple patterning lithography (MPL) has been widely used to improve lithography resolution in advanced nodes, but it faces cost limits as feature sizes shrink. Directed self-assembly (DSA) offers a cost-effective complement, extending the resolution of optical lithography to sub-10 nm and beyond. Integrating DSA into...

Orchestrating multiple agents on a complex task requires reconciling local subtask execution with global task planning. Dynamic dispatch approaches provide execution flexibility but do not explicitly model subtask hierarchies or dependencies, while predefined workflows impose this structure but fix the decomposition be...

Language model agents increasingly automate post-training, but when given the full training stack they converge on supervised fine-tuning and spend most effort revising training data. Existing systems give the agent one kind of control, selecting rows from a fixed pool or calling a generator, whereas a human data engin...

Converting verifier outcomes into useful policy updates and partial progress into complete task resolution is crucial for terminal agents. We present Terminal-RSI, which alternates Recursive Self-Rewrite (RSR) of verified trajectories with critic-inheriting Recursive Policy-Refine (RPR). We formulate Turn-Boundary Skip...

This work has developed a general-purpose AI tutor system that can process student questions in foreign languages and provide bilingual responses, and incorporates the functionality of generating a glossary of technical terms and their explanations to enhance comprehension.

It is found that temporal costs limit success in evolving environments and that higher reasoning effort has mixed effects under time pressure, reflecting a trade-off between decision quality and timely execution.

In Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST), each edge of a discourse tree carries a nuclearity label, marking which span holds the central content, and a relation drawn from a closed inventory of functional categories. Neither label is a surface property: the same two clauses can be Elaboration or Background depending on rhe...
