Models multi-hop agent reasoning as a dynamic search tree, transitioning from exploration to exploitation as token budget depletes. Includes formal convergence proof. Directly applicable to any agent loop burning tokens on redundant calls. arXiv 2603.12634

Introduces temporal causal diagnostics to distinguish legitimate task execution from injected manipulation in multi-turn agent interactions, plus context purification to neutralize poisoned content. Directly applicable to anyone building agents that call external tools. arXiv...
Counterintuitive finding: 36.4% of multi-turn prompts are fully self-contained. Removing prior assistant responses yields up to 10x context length reduction with minimal quality loss. Models over-condition on previous responses, introducing errors. Directly actionable for mult...
arXiv 2607.22807 controlled for problem difficulty across Python, Java, Rust and OCaml and found stark, model-consistent variation in tokens burned per task. The behavioral explanations are the useful part: agents produce non-compiling solutions more often in unfamiliar langua...
This paper tackles the core problem of training command-line agents: long horizons with sparse, delayed rewards when the agent can only partially observe filesystem state. Directly applicable to building autonomous coding assistants and DevOps agents.
Addresses the fundamental privacy dilemma: cloud models need data access but enterprises can't share sensitive information. Splits execution between enterprise-side privacy agents and cloud-side capability agents. Directly relevant to AWS AgentCore and enterprise adoption. arX...
ArXiv 2603.17368 proposes evaluating safety policy before chain-of-thought generation rather than after. Models that reason first and apply safety second can be manipulated through the reasoning trace itself. Reordering substantially improves alignment without degrading benchm...
