01
Magnet: Detecting Cross-Session AI Misuse Through Capability Accumulation
The most capable AI deployments are not single models but ensembles of specialized agents that delegate and act in coordination. This architecture unlocks powerful new capabilities, and it also introduces risks that existing frameworks for monitoring, detection, and mitigation were not designed to a
02
SWE-Touch: Benchmarking Coding Agents When Users Touch the Code
Real-world software development requires coding agents to operate in shared workspaces where users may inspect and modify code during an ongoing task, yet existing repository-level benchmarks typically evaluate agents working alone or restrict user participation to messages. This leads us to ask: ho
03
Grounding Agentic VLMs with Dedicated Segmentation for Fine-Grained Vehicle Damage Assessment
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as reasoning agents in real-world visual assessment pipelines, yet their spatial grounding remains unreliable for fine-grained, visually ambiguous targets. We study this gap in the context of automated vehicle damage assessment, where fine-grai
04
Antares: Foundation Models for Agentic Vulnerability Localization
Vulnerability localization is a fundamental step in software security, requiring models to reason over large codebases and iteratively identify vulnerable implementations. We present Antares, a family of compact language models (350M, 1B, and 3B parameters) for agentic vulnerability localization. Ba

alibaba/ROLL v0.3.0
A verified industry signal preserved from the original daily snapshot. The primary source is linked for full context, while the archive keeps the original publication date and source attribution intact.

UEmbed: Unified Sparse and Dense Multimodal Embeddings
Sparse retrieval underpins modern search systems, from web search to retrieval-augmented generation. Existing work has introduced Learned Sparse Retrieval (LSR) to push beyond exact lexical matching toward richer semantics. Yet LSR has so far remained tied to encoder-style bidirectional architecture
07
Real-Time Detection and Repair of LLM Agent Failures
LLM agents fail mid-episode -- they loop, cascade tool errors, drift off goal, fabricate results, or silently absorb corrupted content -- and the standard remedy, judging every step with a second LLM, costs more than the agent itself. We ask how much detection is achievable from observable step tele

KC-Agent: A Dual-Process Cognitive Architecture for Efficient ML Model Improvement
Data drift poses significant challenges for machine learning systems in production, requiring continuous model updates to maintain performance. We present KC-Agent, a dual-process cognitive architecture for automated ML model improvement that combines fast pattern recognition (System 1) with deliber
