Exact Optimality Certification of QPLIB 2096 through Complete Set Partitioning

We present an exact computational proof that the frozen QPLIB_2096 instance has global minimum 7,025,720. The solution and certification approach was explored and refined through ZiYor, a self-evolving AI system. The authors provide the mathematical account and exact validation reported here. The original formulation has 300 binary variables, 6,900 triangle inequalities, and 25 nonconvex quadratic constraints. A coefficient-level reconstruction identifies its variables with the unordered pairs of 25 items. The triangle inequalities encode partitions, while each quadratic constraint becomes a bound on the total weight of edges incident to one partition block. This yields a set-partitioning formulation over all capacity-feasible blocks, with a separate edge-cost graph determining the objective. Exact enumeration examines 245,505 subsets of sizes one through six and finds 14,981 feasible blocks. Every six-element subset is infeasible; nonnegative capacity weights exclude all larger blocks. An integer price vector satisfies the dual inequality for every feasible block and has sum 2,229,456. Subtracting this sum from the total objective edge cost 9,255,176 gives a lower bound of 7,025,720, attained by the supplied six-block partition. Fresh solver-free checks validate the candidate against both frozen model formats and verify the certificate. The result is an instance-specific optimality proof with an exact primal and dual witness; no cross-instance performance conclusion is drawn.

DualWorldBench: Can Agents Plan Deliveries across Symbolic and Grounded Worlds?

Recent multimodal agents have shown promising progress in embodied planning and web interaction. However, existing evaluations often rely on simplified tasks with limited combinatorial structure, leaving it unclear whether current agents can robustly integrate perception and reasoning for multi-goal planning under temporal, physical, and multimodal constraints. We introduce DualWorldBench, a unified benchmark for evaluating agent planning under controlled symbolic--temporal and grounded--topological complexity. Built around a shared pickup--delivery interface, DualWorldBench consists of three complementary components: TextWorld, which isolates symbolic planning under varying task compositions and release dynamics; SimWorld, which evaluates grounded path planning under controlled topological variation with text, image, or multimodal inputs; and DualWorld-VQA, a diagnostic suite spanning perception, scene understanding, and planning. Experiments reveal a common gap between local understanding and globally consistent planning. In TextWorld, agents struggle to derive optimal task sequences under interacting temporal constraints; in SimWorld, grounded observations are not reliably converted into feasible action sequences. DualWorld-VQA further confirms that perception and topology understanding do not necessarily translate into constrained planning. Together, these results identify the central challenge as composing symbolic or grounded evidence into globally feasible and efficient multi-goal plans. These findings establish DualWorldBench as a challenging testbed for agents with tighter perception--reasoning--planning integration. All datasets and code are publicly available at our project website https://dualworld.netlify.app/.

DiMuRe: Diagnosis-Guided Multilevel Recovery for Robotic Task Execution

Disturbances can invalidate the conditions required by a robot's next action even when much of its task program remains useful. A recovery system must therefore choose a response suited to the current state. We present DiMuRe (diagnosis-guided multilevel recovery), a framework for robot-use agents that uses phase-specific evidence and method preconditions to select program reuse or predefined recovery skills, including bounded vision-language-action (VLA) grasping. After the original program exits, a multimodal large language model (MLLM) can generate corrective code from images and execution feedback. Local verification checks the outcome of each recovery attempt. We also introduce LIBERO-Disturb, a benchmark for robustness and recovery under mid-execution disturbances, supporting program-based agents and VLA policies. On 801 scheduled disturbed Encore development cases, Local DiMuRe (program reuse and recovery skills) achieves 77.65% complete-task success, compared with 58.68% for the original program under the same physical-step allowance. Full DiMuRe achieves 81.90% with terminal replanning, an additional step allowance, and early handoff. Local DiMuRe also uses fewer physical steps per scheduled episode than the original program.

IntentGEO: Intent-aware Generative Engine Optimization for Recommendation

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly shape recommendations across chatbots, e-commerce, and user-generated content (UGC) platforms, creating demand for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) to improve item visibility in generated responses. Existing GEO studies are mainly content-centric, optimizing visibility under general-purpose queries. However, a shared item description usually serves users with different needs and decision goals, resulting in its visibility gains being dependent on the request. To investigate how changing intent affects visibility, we formulate IntentGEO to evaluate shared rewrites across need specificity and decision progression. We revisit existing GEO methods and find that their visibility gains vary across user intents. More critically, learning-based prompt optimization can underperform its handwritten seed on average. Tracing these updates reveals prompt drift from explicit recommendation instructions toward generic promotional tactics. To address this drift, we propose AMO (Anchored Meta-Optimization), which preserves recommendation instructions in a fixed core while learning appended strategies from citation feedback. Across four domains and ten intent states, AMO improves average citation-rank gain by 35% over the strongest prior learning-based baseline and leads on nine states. Ablations show that learned additions improve on the fixed core alone and that AMO outperforms full-prompt optimization initialized from that core. It also achieves the highest gains in an agentic recommendation pipeline and, after separate adaptation, on Doubao, a commercially deployed, closed-source online assistant. These findings highlight user intent as a key dimension of GEO evaluation and support anchored adaptation across recommendation needs and decision stages.

GC-MoE: Overlapping Expert-Parallel Token Dispatch with FP8/FP4 Grouped GEMM via CUDA Green Contexts

Under expert parallelism, mixture-of-experts (MoE) layers pay all-to-all token dispatch, grouped GEMMs, and a combine step in every layer. In decode each rank holds only 1-256 tokens: dispatch latency and weight traffic dominate while tensor-core utilization is inherently low. In fused operators such as DeepGEMM's Mega MoE, dispatch and computation overlap only by sharing every SM: dispatch warps compete with TMA/MMA and epilogue warps for registers, shared memory, and issue slots; every phase shares one CTA resource budget, synchronization spans the whole SM array, and every replay ends with a workspace-clean pass and a cross-rank barrier. We present GC-MoE, an open-source FP8/FP4 MoE inference operator for NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell GPUs that uses CUDA Green Contexts to split the device into a small communication partition and a large compute partition. Each role gets its own kernel, resource budget, and synchronization domain, so dispatch and GEMM tune independently. A three-node CUDA Graph (four on Hopper with fused shared experts) launches the dispatch and grouped-GEMM kernels as concurrent roots; a token-ring handshake starts computation on the first filled ring blocks, and double-buffered receive counters remove the trailing cross-rank barrier between replays. The compute partition runs operand-swapped tcgen05 block-scaled MMA on Blackwell and register-A WGMMA with in-register FP4 decoding on Hopper, with fused SwiGLU, requantization, and optional shared experts. On 8 H20 GPUs GC-MoE accelerates DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash decode by 1.188x on average on both the routed and shared-expert suites (peaks 1.296x and 1.353x); on 8 B300 GPUs it accelerates GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash by 1.106x (1.123x with fused shared experts, peak 1.209x), beating Mega MoE at all 54 measured points at matched accuracy. GC-MoE reserves only 20 of 148 SMs on B300 for dispatch.

Shared Context Candidate Scoring with Jointly Adapted Readout Networks

Repeated decisions over a shared document create two distinct opportunities: reusing document computation and adapting how question representations score candidate answers. We present Q64, a candidate-scoring system that preserves a frozen 64-layer Qwen3.8-27B text backbone, reuses its hybrid prefix state and intermediate document representations, and jointly trains a residual adapter with a four-layer decoder and candidate-conditioned readout. We used ZiYor, a self-evolving AI system, to explore and refine the Q64 design. We specified the scoring method, implemented the system, and evaluated its accuracy and latency. The final adaptation stage updates 88.66 million parameters using 8,192 selected training views. On a fixed 5,112-item evaluation combining ARC-Challenge, ANLI-R3, and stratified subsets of MMLU-Pro and CMMLU, joint adaptation improves four-benchmark macro accuracy from 66.46% to 74.32%. It remains below the native 27B baseline at 75.68% and AnyJev Qwen3-32B L0 at 76.68%. On a separate synthetic workload with 4,096 document tokens and 50 questions, median cold-request latency is 2.237 seconds, compared with 5.383 seconds for the native baseline and 56.872 seconds for the measured batched AnyJev configuration. Short single-question requests do not share this advantage. The evidence supports an accuracy-latency tradeoff in the evaluated systems, rather than a backbone reduction or an isolated component advantage. Public benchmarks informed earlier development, and real-document multi-question validation remains open.

LENS: Reliability-Aware Stock Prediction via LLM-Extracted Priors and News-Driven Semantic Graphs

Predicting stock returns requires modeling persistent company relations and time-varying market signals. Graph Neural Network (GNN) approaches combine static priors with dynamic relational graphs, but treat every extracted edge as a trustworthy binary fact, ignoring heterogeneous reliability across relational sources. We propose LENS (LLM-Extracted priors and News-driven Semantics), a static--dynamic graph framework for stock return prediction and ranking that models relational reliability as a first-class signal across the pipeline. On the static side, we extract a multi-relational company graph from a Large Language Model and aggregate it over multiple runs with confidence weighting to downweight low-consistency edges. On the dynamic side, we build a news-driven semantic graph with exponential-decay temporal aggregation to capture changing market context under uneven coverage. A context-dependent gated fusion module rebalances the two graphs at the per-stock, per-day level. On S&P 500, LENS improves AR@5 by 16.4% and SR@5 by 22.6% over the strongest baseline, and on NASDAQ 100 it achieves comparable improvements (15.5% and 20.9% respectively). Ablations isolate each component's contribution, and a human-validation study of sampled relations supports that the aggregation is grounded, providing evidence that reliability-aware LLM relations and news-based semantic graphs carry complementary information for graph-based financial prediction.

Tokenizer Myths and Where To Find Them

Tokenization is a fundamental component of modern language models: before a model sees data, its tokenizer has already determined how the data appears. We identify and challenge three myths in the tokenization research literature. Myth #1: Bits-Per-Byte (BPB) is agnostic to the tokenizer and/or the vocabulary size: BPB is tokens per byte times bits per token, and the two factors do not cancel; using untrained models, we show that BPB prefers some tokenizers over others: the model has learned nothing, but the tokenizer--model pair has. Myth #2: lower BPB means a better model: On untrained models, BPB strongly prefers some vocabulary sizes, even though accuracy remains at chance, and on real models trained on the same data, BPB correlates weakly with downstream performance. Myth #3: different "tokenizer-agnostic" metrics yield consistent results: The "unigram-normalized loss" is not tokenizer-agnostic; its reported correlation of 0.989 with BPB comes from a confounder and falls to 0.057 once fixed; from the same data the two metrics select different vocabularies at each model size. We present a tokenizer trilemma: no metric can score only the true distribution best, give the same predictions the same score, and tie all untrained models, so choosing a metric is choosing a research question. We conclude with a caution for reading the tokenization literature and a conjecture for future work.

Two-Layer Random ReLU Networks Can Separate Disjoint Classes

Set separation by continuous linear functionals is fundamental in functional analysis and convex optimization and underlies binary classification in machine learning. Support vector machines provide maximum-margin affine separators for linearly separable data, while kernel methods represent nonlinear decision rules through linear separation in a reproducing-kernel Hilbert space. We study when two classes, not necessarily convex or linearly separable in the input space, can be separated with positive margin by finite ReLU networks and by random ReLU features. At the deterministic level, we prove that positive-margin separation by a finite ReLU network is equivalent to the existence of finite closed convex covers whose opposite-label members have positive pairwise distances, and exactly two hidden layers suffice. For random separation, suppose each class is represented as a finite union of nonempty closed convex cells, possibly unbounded. If every opposite-label cell pair has positive distance and its closed difference cone is pointed, then two independent random ReLU layers yield a common positive-margin affine separator with high probability. The first layer separates the feature image of each negative cell from the feature image of the positive class by a hyperplane through the origin. It also controls all cross-class distances uniformly. The second layer combines cellwise scores through Chebyshev polynomials and realizes the resulting polynomial using Gaussian Hermite features, followed by a uniform finite-width approximation. With the remaining geometric, bias, and confidence parameters fixed, each sufficient width is quadratic in the largest Gaussian width of a spherical difference-cone section, hence at most linear in its span dimension. An example shows that this squared Gaussian-width dependence is sharp for both layers.

Point interpolation and distributional universality in flow-based generative models

Motivated by the expressive power of neural ordinary differential equations in flow-based generative modeling, we study the approximation of probability measures by pushforwards generated by parameterized families of Lipschitz vector fields. For Wasserstein distances, we establish a quantitative relationship between finite-sample point interpolation and distributional approximation, and derive universality criteria based on L^p-approximation of transport maps. In particular, affine-invariant families containing a non-affine vector field are universal from compactly supported absolutely continuous base measures. For total variation, we show that coordinate-wise dynamics are insufficient in dimensions d2 and establish sufficient conditions based on one-dimensional Sobolev approximation and shear-type mixing. We further examine the role of point interpolation, establishing when different regimes relate to one another and when approximate interpolation can be made exact.

Toward User-Centered Agentic Recommendation: When Does Platform Competition Benefit Users?

Conventional recommender systems operate within platform-specific catalogs, limiting access to potentially valuable resources across platforms. We propose user-centered agentic recommendation, a paradigm in which user agents compare recommendations from competing platform agents, and formalize their interaction as a repeated game. Platforms strategically modify descriptions without changing intrinsic item value, while each user agent assesses platform credibility using feedback from consumed items only. Our analysis shows that expanded resource access need not improve user welfare: strategic misrepresentation and limited verification can offset the benefits of platform competition. We quantify when platform credibility assessment allows users to benefit from broader access despite strategic exaggeration. Our analysis identifies resource and reporting conditions that guarantee higher average welfare than the original platform with an interaction budget linear in platform count. Experiments on synthetic and Amazon-grounded markets show that credibility assessment can improve finite-horizon utility, while its benefits depend on market size and mechanism parameters.

Impact of Input Resolution in Mammographic Mass Detection: A Controlled Multi-Architecture Study

Deep-learning-based mass detectors usually downsample mammograms, trading fine image detail for lower computational cost. However, published studies cannot reveal how much accuracy this trade-off sacrifices, since they also differ in architecture, preprocessing, and evaluation protocol. In this work, we isolated the effect of input resolution in a controlled study on the VinDr-Mammo dataset, training 18 detectors at six input resolutions ranging from 512 x 416 to 1600 x 1280 pixels, for 108 model-resolution combinations. Whole mammograms were resized without cropping or tiling. For each model, preprocessing, model initialization, augmentation, and evaluation procedures were kept fixed across resolutions. Detection accuracy was evaluated by mAP50 on the 219 mass-positive images of the official test split, and 57 combinations with test mAP50 of at least 0.60 were analyzed. From the lowest to the highest resolution, median mAP50 rose from 0.626 to 0.660 and the best mAP50 from 0.670 to 0.709. The best result, achieved by DINO with a ConvNeXt-S backbone, is the highest mAP50 reported to date on mass-positive VinDr-Mammo images. Gains were concentrated in small masses: for the smallest third of lesions, median mAP50 rose by 0.074 (from 0.367 to 0.441), compared with 0.007 and 0.032 for medium and large masses. Median training time increased from 0.45 to 1.40 h, and median inference time from 23.6 to 113.7 ms per image. Therefore, higher input resolution mainly benefits the small masses that are hardest to detect, at a computational cost that remains practical.

An Information Budget for Label-Noise Memorization, and What Statistical Complexity Tracks: A Study with Multilayer Perceptrons

How much label noise has a network memorized, and when? We study a multilayer perceptron and what statistical complexity adds to a description of its predictions. Standard identities decompose predictive information into signal, memorization, and heterogeneity. The memorization term vanishes in the population under the stated noise-independence condition. A Fano-type bound relates it to training accuracies, but the memorized fraction M provides no upper bound. Across 89 MNIST runs with ten pre-specified hypotheses (five supported, four unsupported, one not testable), normalized memorization information rose with M on training samples, remained near zero on held-out samples with fresh noisy labels, and was close to its Fano bound. Unlike raw M, it has a zero population null under the independence condition and chance correction largely removed this difference. When every label was replaced by an incorrect class, test accuracy fell to 0.5%, yet predictions retained information about the true class. Mean statistical complexity peaked before memorization at corruption rates up to 40%. At higher rates, its peak fell within the memorization phase, near the epoch when mean training confidence reached 0.6 and the two could not be separated. As a stopping rule, it matched established rules only at low noise and detected corrupted samples less well than simple label-free scores. An exploratory extension of 280 runs covering Fashion-MNIST, pair-flip noise, and four training variants yielded similar results under uniform noise, but not pair-flip noise, where complexity peaked within two epochs. Conclusions are limited to this architecture, two small datasets, and synthetic noise.

DoGNAVY-Exploit: Harnessing Parallel Open-Weight Agents for Stage-Aware Vulnerability Exploitation

Frontier LLM agents can turn known vulnerabilities into working exploits, but are costly and often access-restricted due to their potential for malicious use. Open-weight models offer a more accessible alternative, but struggle to maintain progress across long exploitation chains. They also often fail to apply relevant security knowledge at the appropriate stage and in the right context to identify and evaluate promising attack directions. To address these limitations, we propose DoGNAVY-Exploit, a multi-agent harness built around two complementary designs: stage-aware decomposition with progressive expert knowledge disclosure, and hierarchical orchestration with parallel exploration. Specifically, DoGNAVY-Exploit uses configurable milestones to recast long-horizon exploitation as short, verifiable capability transitions and provides only the knowledge relevant to each stage. Within each milestone, a hierarchical architecture separates strategic planning from parallel execution: a planner proposes diverse attack routes, executors test them concurrently, and a controller accepts progress only when supported by runtime evidence. A shared structured memory consolidates verified facts, artifacts, replay steps, and failed routes across branches, allowing agents to build on collective progress and carry validated knowledge into subsequent milestones. In controlled benchmark environments, DoGNAVY-Exploit with GLM-5.2 achieves 97.5% Pass@1 on Cybench, and 97.5% zero-day and 100% one-day Pass@1 on CVE-Bench. On ExploitGym, it solves 79 tasks with GLM-5.2 and 157 with GLM-5.3, while the corresponding public Claude Code baselines solve 39 and 130 tasks, respectively. Ablation results further demonstrate that the stage-aware orchestration, expert knowledge, parallel exploration, and memory designs can substantially improve the exploitation capabilities of open-weight agents.

Where Did the Update Go? Certifying Declared Change Envelopes for Model Updates

Deployed language models are updated continually, and regulators increasingly accept changes that were declared in advance. Showing that an update changed behavior only where it was declared to is a different statistical problem from bounding how much it changed: a useful update is meant to change some decisions, so global disagreement and regression bounds cannot certify it. We formalize the problem with declared change envelopes. Before training, the developer commits to a region of inputs, and every decision that changes outside it counts as leakage. Leakage compares two models, so it can be certified from unlabeled traffic with anytime-valid tests whose sample cost we bound from above and below, and per-update certificates compose into a bound on lifetime drift outside all declared scopes. We measure leakage for LoRA and full fine-tuning, preference optimization, reinforcement learning, and knowledge editing on models from 1.5B to 72B parameters. Narrow updates leak widely: domain and policy LoRA updates keep only about 7-36% of the decisions they change inside the declared scope. Across 256 trained variants, leakage tracks the update's KL divergence to the incumbent on out-of-scope inputs (Spearman 0.94). None of the customary remedies we tested makes a rule-like update certifiable without giving up much of its intended change. Distilling the incumbent's decisions on unlabeled prompts in the deployment format does: anchored LoRA, GRPO, and (at a small learning rate) full fine-tuning updates certify 5% leakage from a few hundred to a few thousand unlabeled samples, and the certificates replicate on held-out traffic and on written answers. The certificates cover decision-like outputs only; on open-ended chat, re-batching alone changes 11-21% of responses and no update certifies.

What Does 4-Bit Microscaling Cost a Wearable Activity Recognizer?

Wearable sports sensors can recognize actions on the device itself, where lower-precision numbers reduce model storage and memory traffic. Two 4-bit block-scaled formats, MXFP4 from the Open Compute Project, introduced in 2023, and NVFP4 from NVIDIA, introduced in 2025, are drawing interest. Published evaluations cover general deep-learning benchmarks and large language models; to our knowledge, nobody has yet measured what they cost a small wearable-sensor model. We train a 159,492-parameter 1D CNN to recognize four basketball actions from wrist-accelerometer data in Hang-Time HAR and test it on players it has never seen, using five-fold cross-validation grouped by player. Every comparison between number formats is made fold by fold. In full precision the model reaches 69.26\% macro-F1. Measured TFLite FP16 and INT8 models lose at most 0.16 percentage points. In simulation, 4-bit weights cost 1.45 points with MXFP4 and 0.72 points with NVFP4. When activations are quantized to 4 bits as well, MXFP4 loses 5.14 points and NVFP4 only 0.75, and NVFP4 comes out ahead in all five held-out-player folds. The ranking survives two alternative simulator settings, with NVFP4 leading by 3.49 to 4.40 points. A 2 3 ablation with 4-bit weights and activations (two block sizes and three scale rules) points to scale selection as the main source of MXFP4's loss. The reference MXFP4 conversion we simulate rounds the scale down, which can pick scales that are too small, so many blocks clip their largest values. Rounding the scale up recovers 3.18 points with 32-value blocks and 3.63 points with 16-value blocks, and switching to an 8-bit floating-point scale, as NVFP4 does, adds another 0.84 and 1.20 points. Block size matters less. Under this round-down rule, 16-value blocks score 0.44 points below 32-value blocks in all five folds; under the other two rules there is no consistent effect.

Agentic Path Maps: Exposing an Agent's Traversal Through the Garden of Forking Paths

When an AI agent executes an underspecified task, it embeds choices that may contradict unarticulated user context and preferences. However, interrupting the user for clarification on all such decisions is untenable. How might agents communicate impactful, but unexplored, paths to the user after execution? To investigate, we first distill a design space for communicating alternative paths, supporting the generation of new systems and structuring dimensions of future study. We then measure the impact of one vital design space dimension on user comprehension: the number of alternatives displayed. Through a user study (n=48) in the data analysis domain, we find that participants rarely consider alternative paths of their own volition, but AI overreliance reduces when alternative paths are visualized for them. By revealing paths the agent did not take, we demonstrate how users can better interpret results and incorporate personal context.

When the Consumer Is an Agent: Execution-Grounded Service-Level Agreements

Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly act as service consumers. They select operations and report whether a task is complete. In an asynchronous distributed service, an accepted call or immediate state read does not establish that the required state became observable by its deadline. We introduce execution-grounded completion contracts, which treat completion as a service-level outcome. An independent control plane observes a deadline-bound service-state predicate, admits completion, and directs recovery while the agent performs the task. We evaluate placement and deletion in a live multi-provider data service with heterogeneous models and an injected transfer delay. Across policies, some tasks that missed the deadline were accepted and some that met it were rejected. Under enforcement, accepted completions remained consistent with later observations; all included healthy tasks completed, and unresolved faulted tasks terminated as unverified. The results show that completion of these tasks can be governed by independent observation of service state rather than by the agent's self-assessment.

Clocks all the way down: does sequence-processing AI need endogenous temporal structure?

Mainstream sequence-processing AI is temporally reactive: each update is driven by input and learned state transitions, rather than by an independently evolving internal temporal reference. Biological brains, by contrast, continuously generate rhythmic activity that structures perception, memory, and cognition, and this rhythmicity reaches all the way to behavior. We ask whether this difference is merely implementational or genuinely computational. Four lines of evidence suggest that endogenous temporal structure supports putative functions that input-driven architectures may not readily replicate: 1) phase-dependent routing of information, 2) delay-structured combinatorial representation, 3) cross-frequency multiplexing of items, and 4) oscillation-gated offline consolidation. A proof-of-concept delay-ablation test dissociates representational capacity from memory retrieval. In recurrent and spatial spiking networks with fixed synaptic weights and connectivity, shuffling delays preserves part of the capacity but substantially impairs the sequence retrieval. The relative contrast is more pronounced for spatial networks and longer propagations. Instantaneous transmission collapses capacity itself. We then outline a cross-frequency multiplexing scheme that combines item identity and serial order with alternative mechanisms for selective memory retrieval. Finally, we state one falsifiable hypothesis, conditions for matched-resource tests, and three research directions: the components already exist; the disciplined comparison does not.

Validation-Gated ML Pipeline Synthesis with Expert-Grounded Self-Evolving Skills

Recent advances in large language models have enabled agentic systems that automate machine learning pipeline construction from minimal user input. However, existing agentic AutoML methods either depend on rigid templates that limit adaptability, target narrow task domains, or rely on free-form code generation that lacks reliability guarantees, leaving intermediate errors to propagate silently and degrade the final model. We present EvoML, an agentic framework for end-to-end ML pipeline synthesis built on expert-grounded skills that evolve across runs, executed through a validation-gated harness. The framework decomposes pipeline construction into four phases coordinated by three agents: an Orchestrator that enforces validation gates, advancing each phase only when its outputs pass structural, execution, and semantic checks, which precludes error propagation and keeps every artifact auditable; an Executor that runs expert-grounded skills, grounded in the nnU-Net workflow and pairing reusable templates with online adaptation; and a Curator that performs post-run evolution, consolidating the scripts and guidance recovered during a run into the skill library so it improves across datasets. We evaluate EvoML on eight datasets spanning six sophisticated, real-world ML task types, against agentic AutoML systems and command-line coding tools. EvoML achieves full automation and the best final model quality on all eight, spanning segmentation (up to 0.94 Dice), classification (0.99 accuracy), reconstruction (0.95 SSIM), and denoising (0.79 normalized PSNR), while transferring to broader ML tasks.
