SoL-Pi: Recursively Scaling Auto-Research Loops for Efficient Agent Harness

Haozhe Liu, Tian Ye, Sensen Gao +11

As coding agents move from supervised code completion to unattended, around-the-clock exploration, their work expands from isolated predictions into long trajectories of reasoning,…

AIBuildAI-2.5: Efficient Autonomous AI Model Development Through LLM-Guided Tree Search

Peijia Qin, Ruiyi Zhang, Qi Cao +3

Autonomous agents that automatically build artificial intelligence (AI) models could broaden access to AI across science and engineering. A popular line of such agents frames model…

ATLAS: Agentic Test-time Learning-to-Allocate Scaling

Peijia Qin, Qi Cao, Pengtao Xie

Test-time scaling has become a major way to improve large language model reasoning, but its orchestration has remained designer-engineered: a fixed sample budget, a fixed refinemen…

LLMs Know When They Know, but Do Not Act on It: A Metacognitive Harness for Test-time Scaling

Qi Cao, Yufan Wang, Peijia Qin +2

Large language models (LLMs) often expose useful signals of self-monitoring: before solving a problem, they can estimate whether they are likely to succeed, and after solving it, t…

Send a SCOUT First: Pre-hoc Reasoning for Adaptive Detector Allocation in Prompt-Injection Defense

Shuhao Zhang, Jiarui Li, Qi Cao +2

Prompt-injection detectors are heterogeneous: each is strong on a different slice of attacks, and none is always reliable. Yet existing systems still treat detection as a fixed sin…

Models Under SCOPE: Scalable and Controllable Routing via Pre-hoc Reasoning

Qi Cao, Shuhao Zhang, Ruizhe Zhou +3

Model routing chooses which language model to use for each query. By sending easy queries to cheaper models and hard queries to stronger ones, it can significantly reduce inference…

FunPRM: Function-as-Step Process Reward Model with Meta Reward Correction for Code Generation

Ruiyi Zhang, Peijia Qin, Qi Cao +2

Code generation is a core application of large language models (LLMs), yet LLMs still frequently fail on complex programming tasks. Given its success in mathematical reasoning, tes…

DAJ: Data-Reweighted LLM Judge for Test-Time Scaling in Code Generation

Peijia Qin, Ruiyi Zhang, Qi Cao +1

Test-time scaling for code generation commonly relies on Best-of-N selection, in which multiple candidate solutions are sampled from a base model, and the best one is selected by a…
