MetaState: Persistent Working Memory Enhances Reasoning in Discrete Diffusion Language Models
Kejing Xia, Mingzhe Li, Lixuan Wei +5
Discrete diffusion language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising a masked sequence. However, standard dLLMs condition each denoising step solely on the current har…
ChainSWE: Benchmarking Coding Agents on Multi-Bug Software Maintenance
Qirui Jin, Lingching Tung, Kenan Li +13
Language model (LM) agents are increasingly deployed to maintain codebases over extended periods, fixing streams of related defects while carrying context from one fix to the next.…
PACT: Privileged Trace Co-Training for Multi-Turn Tool-Use Agents
Zhenbang Du, Jun Luo, Zhiwei Zheng +8
Multi-turn tool-use agents must reason, call tools, and adapt to observations across several interaction turns. Post-training such agents is challenging, as reinforcement learning…
ORACLE-SWE: Quantifying the Contribution of Oracle Information Signals on SWE Agents
Kenan Li, Qirui Jin, Liao Zhu +13
Recent advances in language model (LM) agents have significantly improved automated software engineering (SWE). Prior work has proposed various agentic workflows and training strat…
CopT: Contrastive On-Policy Thinking with Continuous Spaces for General and Agentic Reasoning
Dachuan Shi, Hanlin Zhu, Xiangchi Yuan +4
Chain-of-thought (CoT) is a standard approach for eliciting reasoning capabilities from large language models (LLMs). However, the common CoT paradigm treats thinking as a prerequi…
SwiReasoning: Switch-Thinking in Latent and Explicit for Pareto-Superior Reasoning LLMs
Dachuan Shi, Abedelkadir Asi, Keying Li +4
Recent work shows that, beyond discrete reasoning through explicit chain-of-thought steps, which are limited by the boundaries of natural languages, large language models (LLMs) ca…
