In-silico optimization of nucleic acids relies on predictive oracles that imperfectly capture biological function, so sequences optimized against one model may exploit model-specific artifacts and fail to generalize to independent models. Recent studies have shown that not all designers generalize equally well to independent models. In this work, we use agentic program search to iteratively propose, execute, evaluate, and revise code for nucleic-acid designers. We describe the successful strategies used to prompt the search. AutoNovo designers achieved the best observed mean among the evaluated methods on 3/3 DNA-design tasks in terms of in-silico performance, and 6/6 transfer tasks in terms of independent models. The designers come from a family of discovered nucleic acid designers rather than a single universal best designer. We plan to release the resulting designers. These results are the first steps in creating nucleic acid designers that maximize cross-model generalization, and thus improving the odds that in-silico designed sequences reflect real biology.
As large language models are increasingly adopted as multi-party communication facilitators, there is a growing demand for agents capable of balancing diverse group dynamics across contexts. However, existing LLM facilitators are often fine-tuned for task-specific objectives; generalized LLM-based facilitation methods that can adapt to different types of tasks and diverse group dynamics are underdeveloped. To address this gap, we present GUIDE (Generalized Unified Intervention for Dynamic Exchanges, a framework for developing generalized LLM-based facilitators across different multi-party contexts. GUIDE evaluates facilitation across both objective task outcomes and subjective metrics, including psychological safety and perceived friction. Within this framework, we study whether LLMs can self-learn generalized facilitation strategy offline to real-time interventions. We first collect multi-party human interactions guided by task-specific expert LLM facilitators (N=432 conversations). We then employ a self-learning method in which an LLM induces an actionable strategic playbook from conversations and iteratively refines it using feedback from an LLM judge aligned with human annotators (N=20), developing a single generalized facilitator that outperforms the three task-specific expert facilitators on held-out conversations 61.4% win rate. Finally, we evaluate these improvements empirically; in a real-time online empirical study, the self-learned generalized facilitator preserves facilitator performance and group productivity, improves speaking comfort and reduces interpersonal friction, while using 24.7% fewer turns and 29.0% fewer words than the expert prompts. These findings provide empirical evidence that LLMs can learn generalizable, task-agnostic social facilitation from task-specific human interactions, on-par with hand-crafted task-specific prompts across diverse group settings.
Text-to-image models have made remarkable progress in visual fidelity and instruction following, yet complex compositional generation remains challenging. Existing agentic approaches address this limitation through iterative generation and editing, adapting their actions based on interaction history. However, they typically fix the continuation state (i.e., the image from which refinement proceeds) to the latest image. Since iterative editing is not necessarily monotonic, the agent may continue refining from the latest image even when it has already degraded. In this work, we introduce GenRevisit, an agentic framework that extends action selection to joint continuation-state and action selection. The agent can not only use interaction history to adjust editing instructions but also select an image candidate to edit, jointly deciding where to continue from and how to refine. We train GenRevisit with SFT followed by agentic reinforcement learning. To address the coarse credit assignment of final outcome reward in GRPO, which assigns the same trajectory-level advantage to all actions, we further propose Normalized Action Credit Assignment (NACA) to redistribute positive advantage according to each action's contribution to reducing the remaining objective. On GenEval2, GenRevisit achieves GM scores of 84.3 and 74.4 with Qwen-Image-2512 and Z-Image-Turbo, surpassing the strongest baselines using the same generators by 12.7 and 10.9 points respectively. GenRevisit achieves state-of-the-art performance on GenEval, GenEval++, and GenEval2 among baselines.
Real-world studies (RWS) analyze routinely collected healthcare data, such as electronic health records and insurance claims, to estimate treatment effects, monitor safety, and identify risk factors outside randomized trials. Automating RWS with large language model agents is appealing but brittle: valid analyses depend on dataset-specific clinical semantics, including index dates, follow-up windows, patient/event-level units, and outcome boundaries that are often implicit in observational data. This leads to schema mismatches, temporal errors, inconsistent analytical granularity, and unsupported clinical claims. We present ProCARE, a profile-grounded framework that reformulates RWS automation as constrained compilation. ProCARE converts heterogeneous data profiles into Evidence Contracts specifying available variables, temporal attributes, distributions, and evidentiary limits, and compiles study objectives into RWS-IR, a strongly typed intermediate representation for variables, time relations, analysis units, and statistical tasks. Deterministic validation and localized repair then check and revise generated workflows across schema mapping, cohort construction, variable derivation, analysis, and interpretation. On 36 EHR-based benchmark tasks, ProCARE outperforms strong LLM-agent baselines in code executability, semantic consistency, and conclusion traceability, with automated violation diagnoses showing moderate-to-substantial agreement with blinded expert review.
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in solving complex tasks in coding, mathematical logic, and iterative reasoning, especially by coordinating effectively within multi-agent systems (MAS). However, language agents traditionally communicate via text exchange, which introduces a bottleneck in information transfer and adds prefill latency for downstream agents. Recent work proposes that directly sharing the key-value (KV) cache between language models can enable efficient latent collaboration, entirely bypassing standard text-based communication. To enable latent communication between heterogeneous models of different sizes, prior work introduces trained fusion adapters for each model pair, which limits practical deployment. We introduce CacheFuse, a training-free method which demonstrates that augmenting a downstream model with an upstream model's KV cache using linear interpolation consistently enables superior performance than the standalone downstream model can achieve. We systematically analyze CacheFuse across four reasoning and knowledge benchmarks and demonstrate up to 8.6 percentage points higher accuracy compared to single-model baselines and up to 12.2x TTFT speedup compared to text-based communication in multi-model inference.
Interactive-agent evaluations commonly rely on standardized LLM-based user simulators that exhibit broadly cooperative behavior, potentially overlooking failures that arise under diverse but realistic user interactions. This can lead to overly optimistic estimates of agent robustness and provide limited failure signals for training agents that generalize across users. Existing approaches largely rely on predefined user behaviors, which may miss agent- or domain-specific weaknesses, while failure-oriented search can reduce task success by invalidating the underlying task rather than exposing genuine robustness failures. To fill this gap, we introduce TIPER, a task-integrity-preserving persona evolution method that automatically discovers agent-specific user policies exposing robustness weaknesses while keeping the underlying task valid and solvable. TIPER evolves persistent user personas through reflection-guided behavioral mutations and task-wise Pareto selection under a task-integrity constraint. Across four interactive-agent benchmarks, TIPER yields lower held-out avg@3 scores in all 12 GPT-5.4 settings, with observed reductions of 5.8 to 33.7 percentage points, and in all 28 agent-domain pairs spanning seven agents, with a median observed reduction of 22.9 points. Further analysis yields a behavior-to-failure taxonomy that connects discovered user behaviors to recurring agent failure modes. Together, these results show that TIPER enables more diagnostic robustness evaluation of interactive agents and provides informative failure analysis for future agent robustness improvement.
