How do language models generalize from their training data? This is a central challenge for alignment: models reliably learn their training distribution given enough samples, but we want models that behave well when deployed in new contexts. We study out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization of propensities. Our central...

Evaluating an agent's ability to strictly satisfy diverse and procedurally complex requirements is essential to determining its practical reliability. Conducting such an evaluation demands agentic tasks that reconcile broad domain coverage with deep procedural complexity. Existing paradigms face a fundamental trade-off...

Developing terminal-based agents for long-horizon execution demands synthetic tasks that tightly couple complex instructions with authentic, interactive environments. However, current automated synthesis suffers from a fundamental asymmetry: instruction-oriented methods fabricate low-fidelity, synthetic environments, w...

This work formalizes failure modes, derives lagged-risk decompositions that expose the resulting temporal bias, and recasts risk prediction as an in-context sequence modeling problem, and yields more reliable difficulty estimates and consistent performance gains across robust Meta-RL, DR, and prompt curriculum RL post-...

Language models are increasingly used to create synthetic survey samples, also called silicon samples. Decision models are a new class of language models that return a probability for each point of a rating scale instead of text. We ask whether these models, or the newest generative LLMs, can stand in for human respond...
We present MARL-BattleGrounds (MARL-BGs), an easy-to-use JAX-native benchmark for heterogeneous and competitive multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), designed to be sample-efficient, computationally efficient, and researcher-centric. MARL benchmarks are typically simple and efficient, like SMAX, where winning redu...
Experience-based learning enables large language model (LLM) agents to improve over time by reusing knowledge from past executions. However, existing methods typically rely on final task outcomes as feedback for experience learning, overlooking the execution process and limiting their ability to evaluate and optimize e...

Data-driven weather forecasting models are commonly trained on ERA5, yet operational deployment must use timely initial states from physics-based numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems whose distributions differ substantially from ERA5. Direct initialization with these states can degrade autoregressive forecasts, m...

The growing deployment of compact large language models on smartphones is enabling autonomous on-device decision-making, such as emerging mobile GUI agents. However, many mobile decisions, such as network configuration when users switch apps or connectivity conditions change, must satisfy stringent latency constraints...

Claims of recursive self-improvement are easy to make and hard to falsify: did improvement come from re-using designer-provided mechanisms, or from mechanisms the system authored itself? We introduce a pre-registered, two-tier accounting: M1 counts machine-generated content instances within a designer-provided vocabula...
EvoCowork is introduced, a 240-task benchmark for evaluating harness-level recursive self-improvement across four office modalities, with model weights held fixed.

Agentic AI moves generative AI applications toward systems that coordinate reasoning, enterprise context, model inference, and external actions. Integrating these capabilities into enterprise software introduces diverse architectural concerns, from orchestration, knowledge and memory, and model access to tools and acti...
