Harness Learning Enables Generalizable Test-Time Adaptation

Alvin Zhang, Xuecheng Liu, Zixuan Wang +6

A language-model agent is jointly defined by its model and its harness, the executable program that organizes model calls, tool use, and information flow. Because different tasks c…

Information Abundance Paradox: Long-Context Training Undermines Parametric Knowledge

Arda Uzunoglu, Benjamin Van Durme, Daniel Khashabi

Large language models are increasingly trained and deployed with long contexts that span documents, code repositories, and interaction histories. This scaling reflects the implicit…

Better, Faster, Stronger: Programmatic Skill Learning Best Reduces Agent Cost

Zixi Huang, Xiheng Wang, Andrew Wang +4

Recently, the practice of augmenting LLM agent capability with skills has gained prevalence. We explore the cost effective adaptation of agents to novel domains by means of learnin…

Self-Compacting Language Model Agents

Tianjian Li, Jingyu Zhang, William Jurayj +5

Long agent traces composed of chains of thought and tool calls accumulate stale content that anchor subsequent generations, and eventually outgrow the context window. Existing scaf…

AgentOdyssey: Open-Ended Long-Horizon Text Game Generation for Test-Time Continual Learning Agents

Zheyuan Zhang, Zehao Wen, Alvin Zhang +4

For agents to learn continuously from interaction with the world at test time, they must be able to explore effectively, acquire new world knowledge and skills, retain relevant epi…

Can Coding Agents Reproduce Findings in Computational Materials Science?

Ziyang Huang, Yi Cao, Ali K. Shargh +15

Large language models are increasingly deployed as autonomous coding agents and have achieved remarkably strong performance on software engineering benchmarks. However, it is uncle…

Are Finer Citations Always Better? Rethinking Granularity for Attributed Generation

Hexuan Wang, Jingyu Zhang, Benjamin Van Durme +1

Citation granularity -- whether to cite individual sentences, paragraphs, or documents -- is a critical design choice in attributed generation. While fine-grained citations are com…

Many-Tier Instruction Hierarchy in LLM Agents

Jingyu Zhang, Tianjian Li, William Jurayj +3

Large language model agents receive instructions from many sources-system messages, user prompts, tool outputs, other agents, and more-each carrying different levels of trust and a…
