Scores Are Not Decisions: Cost-Aware Stopping for Tool Acquisition in LLM Agents
As LLM agents increasingly depend on diverse external services such as search engines, databases, and connectors, agent harnesses face a fundamental tool-selection challenge: acquiring too few tools leaves the task under-informed, while too many adds cost, context load, and privacy exposure. Routers

SecRespond: Benchmarking AI Agents for Real-World Post-Compromise Incident Response
Large Language Model (LLM) agents are increasingly adopted in real-world security operations with access to host artifacts and command-line interfaces (CLIs), making it critical to thoroughly assess their security capabilities. However, existing cybersecurity benchmarks focus on pre-compromise setti

SciFigQual-Bench: A Benchmark for Scientific Figure Quality Assessment with Full-Manuscript Context
Scientific images are the core elements of presenting experimental conclusions, elaborating system architecture, and supporting comparative arguments in scientific papers. However, existing image quality assessment (IQA) methods are predominantly designed for natural photographs or AI-generated cont
04
BioVLN: A Simulation Platform for Visual Language Navigation in Biomedical Laboratories
Biomedical laboratory robots must navigate to instruments before performing experimental procedures. Existing embodied navigation platforms are designed for household environments and treat a target as an object center or an arbitrary nearby position. This representation is inadequate for laboratory
05
Think Short, Defer Smart, Act, and Repeat: Calibrated Reasoning and Uncertainty-Aware Deferral for Edge LLM Agents
LLM agents following the ReAct paradigm are promising enablers of complex multi-step tasks, including multi-hop question answering, code generation, and control of physical AI systems. Yet, when deployed at the edge, they must tightly manage their reasoning budget while remaining reliable and deferr

AI as Friction for Reflection Support in Ideation
Generative AI tools for creative work tend to be designed around the goal of removing friction, on the assumption that smoother iteration and faster output translate into more value for the designer. We argue, however, that this framing leaves out something important about how design ideation works,

AgenticCANN: Automated Ascend C Operator Generation via Knowledge-Augmented Agentic Evolution
Ascend C operator optimization is critical for NPU (Neural Processing Unit) inference performance but requires deep hardware expertise.While large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in automated CUDA kernel generation, the fundamentally different programming model of Ascend C introduces uniqu
