AgonAlpha: Autonomous Alpha Discovery via Prompt Economy and Scalable Agentic Search
Weicheng Ye, Youran Sun, Xingyu Ren +3
Language models can propose many plausible trading factors, but an autonomous research system must also allocate its evaluation budget, verify its own evidence, and preserve how ea…
Understanding Sparse Attention Selectivity in Long-Context Foundation Models via Counterfactual Evaluation
Xingyu Ren, Youran Sun, Chugang Yi +1
Sparse attention is widely deployed in long-context serving stacks, yet no framework audits how discarding blocks changes the influence of specific content on model output. We firs…
Effective Parameters, Real Behavior: Renormalization for Robotics -- From Infinite Electron Mass to Sim-to-Real Gap
Youran Sun, Jiaxuan Guo, Xingyu Ren +2
Bridging the sim-to-real gap is a central problem in robotics, and the prevailing approach is to build increasingly accurate simulators. Here, we propose another approach based on…
PerspectiveGap: A Benchmark for Multi-Agent Orchestration Prompting
Youran Sun, Xingyu Ren, Kejia Zhang +2
Real-world LLM applications are moving beyond single-agent workflows toward orchestrated multi-agent systems, yet current models still struggle to determine what each sub-agent nee…
RouterVLA: Budgeted Commissioning and Expert Onboarding for Growing VLA Pools
Xingyu Ren, Chugang Yi, Ge Ma +1
Robotic teams often maintain several vision-language-action policies but still deploy one global winner. We study two recurring decisions: which expert to deploy for a new conditio…
Agon: An Autonomous Large-Scale Omnidisciplinary Research System Built on Prompt Economy
Youran Sun, Xingyu Ren, Chugang Yi +4
Large language models are making research production scalable, shifting the bottleneck from producing artifacts to judging claims. We present \textsc{Agon}, a research orchestrator…
