Unravel: Recovering an Interactive 3D Scene from a Single Image

We present Unravel, a training-free framework that turns a single image into an interactive 3D scene, where every object is an independent and movable asset. Existing generators either produce one entangled geometry in which no object can be moved, or predict all objects in one feed-forward pass, where a wrong guess cannot be detected or repaired. Unravel instead takes a different approach: it first takes the scene apart, and then puts it back together. Starting from the input image, an agentic harness that iteratively peels the image layer by layer, and adopts point cloud as major modality for spatial relationship recovery. Specifically, a vision-language model plans which objects are fully visible, an image editor removes them and restores the occluded regions. Every edit is verified before being incorporated into the reconstruction. This process gradually turns occluded parts of the scene into direct observation, allowing objects to be reconstructed when they are best exposed rather than hallucinated from the original image alone. The scene is then rebuilt in reverse removal order, so that the supporting objects are naturally placed before the objects they support. Since a single-view image only reveals part of an object, we treat the observed points as a lower bound on its size: an asset may grow to cover its points, but can not shrink away from them. Finally, we physically settle the reconstructed scene to remove floating objects and interpenetrations, followed by an agentic audit that corrects remaining placement errors. Extensive experiments on diverse indoor scenes show that Unravel recovers more objects, places them more faithfully, and produces scenes that are more physically-plausible than existing methods.

Pollard: Governed Semantic Execution Trees for Framework-Independent AI Agent Control and Replay

Agent frameworks can persist checkpoints, trace tool calls, and limit resource use, but these facilities often assign different identities to execution, governance, and replay. We present Pollard, a framework-independent runtime based on governed semantic execution trees. A step identity commits to canonical input, kind, attempt, and parent identity; the same tree records completion, refusal, resource settlement, and branch history. Strict replay returns a verified stored result without invoking the wrapped operation, while a transactional store coordinates reservations across concurrent workers. Under a signed deterministic freeze, two state-model replicas each executed the evaluation transitions without an invariant violation, retained-lease PostgreSQL groups were tested against exact limits, strict replay avoided external calls, and all semantic mutations were detected with no false alarms on the controls. A multi-pair framework matrix preserved reference behavior and verified the trees. A separate cost-capped hosted study exercised live provider paths, and every completed Pollard trial produced a verified tree. Together, the studies support the core mechanisms under explicit lease, boundary, and seal-custody assumptions.

Phantom Merge: When Your Large Language Model Agents Pick One but Tell You About Another

LLM agents increasingly operate over multiple entities, where reliable response generation requires not only retrieving relevant evidence but also preserving its association with the correct entity. We identify Phantom Merge (PM), an entity-evidence binding failure in which an agent attributes unsupported claims to its committed entity, potentially even when the task is completed correctly. We formalize PM at the claim level and characterize its prevalence and error subtypes across four agent domains and four backbone families. To address this problem, we propose a two-stage framework for claim-level risk estimation and correction. First, Anchor-Grounded Risk (AGR) combines a representational readout of the agent's pre-emission hidden state with Jacobian-based functional information, providing complementary slot-level and anchor-value risk scores. Second, Fixed-Anchor Correction (FAC) audits flagged claims and selectively revises them using observed anchor evidence or removes them when no supported replacement is available. On the held-out Shopping detection cohort, AGR-slot achieves an AUROC of 96.2% and an average precision of 97.3%, outperforming the evaluated detection baselines. In the end-to-end Shopping mitigation evaluation, FAC reduces trajectory-level PM from 51.4% to 6.2%, with an output-to-original claim ratio of 80.7%. These results demonstrate the prevalence of entity-specific grounding failures and the effectiveness of combining internal risk estimation with evidence-constrained claim correction. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/LabRAI/PhantomMerge.

Large Language Model Assisted Transportation Planning through a Differentiable User Equilibrium Layer

Transportation planning has traditionally required substantial expertise in network modeling, traffic assignment, and optimization. As a result, strategic analyses such as network design, capacity expansion, and model calibration remain inaccessible to non-expert decision makers. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) provide an opportunity to bridge this gap by enabling natural-language interaction with complex transportation planning tools. However, existing LLM-based systems primarily serve as interfaces to simulation software and lack the ability to efficiently search, evaluate, and optimize transportation solutions. This study proposes an integrated human-AI transportation planning framework that combines a large language model, a model context protocol (MCP) interface, an open-source transportation planning engine (AequilibraE), and a differentiable user equilibrium (UE) assignment layer. The framework allows non-expert users to execute network analyses and improve solutions for optimization. A differentiable UE layer is developed by directly differentiating the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions of the Beckmann traffic assignment problem. The proposed framework is demonstrated through two representative planning tasks: calibration of travel time functions from observed traffic counts and network design under budget constraints. The examples illustrate how differentiable transportation models and LLM agents can jointly democratize transportation planning and substantially reduce barriers between domain expertise and transportation decision making.

PID-Gated Continual Prompt Adaptation Under Noisy Feedback

Deploying LLM agents in non-stationary environments requires continually revising their instructions as the task drifts, yet rewriting after every reported mistake can turn noisy feedback into persistent errors. This raises an often-overlooked scheduling question in prompt adaptation: when should feedback trigger a lasting instruction update, and at what editor-call cost? Taking inspiration from proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, we introduce a family of lightweight gates that react to the current error, accumulate evidence over time, and roll back deterioration after an edit. We benchmark these gates against both simple baselines and advanced prompt optimizers (TextGrad and GEPA), over a diverse suite of drifting tasks, LLM parameter sizes, feedback-noise levels, and random seeds. PID-gated continual prompt adaptation yields a more favorable Pareto trade-off between task performance (high accuracy, low error) and editor-call budget than the baselines considered, pointing to control-theoretic scheduling as a simple, general tool for robust prompt adaptation under unreliable feedback.

Imitation Holds a Key to Evolution: Localized Repair and Verified Skill Acquisition for Adaptive Agents

An agent can retain successful trajectories without learning which part of an experience should repair a new discrepancy. We formulate passive imitation (PI) as an architectural loop that localizes a violated contract, extracts a local goal, proposes an effect-matched skill, tests a small patch, and retains evidence after full-task verification. We instantiate this loop as a deterministic symbolic controller and analyze its finite repair-query complexity under explicit identifiability and noninterference assumptions. Across ten simulated tool worlds, PI solves all 600 cold held-out composition tasks with three allowed small trials, compared with 6.17% for a whole-trajectory control, while an equally expressive compositional repair control matches PI. On an unseen tool revision, PI achieves 70.0% success versus 24.0% without small trials and 79.0% with self-trial enumeration; an exploratory 24-task adaptation stream subsequently raises first-submission success to 100%, supporting a limited correction-and-retention mechanism rather than a unique incentive advantage or general intelligence. The CPU-only implementation, integrity checks, and reproducible results are available at https://github.com/FriendOfYishan/PI.

Scaling Multi-Agent Intelligence with Substrate-Centric Coordination

Existing large language model (LLM) based multi-agent systems have been shown to scale poorly, and we identify three problems: reading burden that grows with the group, useful information diluted by shared work of unknown quality, and fragility to failed agents. We argue that the problems are largely due to agent-centric designs: the coordination structure is wired into fixed workflows, central coordinators, or peer-to-peer messaging, and recent blackboard-style methods that move the coordination into a shared medium relieve only the last problem. To close the gaps, we build ScaleMAS, where asynchronous agents interact with a shared datastore of linked messages via three operations: publishing messages with optional references to earlier ones that they build on, searching for messages by content, and visiting messages by address. Search returns at most k messages, so an agent's read stays bounded at any group size; results are ranked by relevance and by how often they are cited, which we find to be an effective proxy for quality; and messages persist after their producers leave, so the group carries on when individual agents fail. Across four agentic tasks, ScaleMAS outperforms agent-centric and blackboard-style baselines at lower inference compute, continues to scale up to 128 agents, and tolerates losing agents midway.

Beyond Perfect Teammates: Multi-Agent Collaboration with Unreliable Colleagues

LLM-based multi-agent collaboration is increasingly used to solve complex tasks by dividing work among specialized agents and integrating complementary expertise. Yet existing systems and evaluations largely rest on an implicit perfect-colleague assumption: collaborators provide correct and complete information and respond promptly to requests. In realistic teamwork, however, collaborators may return information that does not answer the intended question, provide insufficient detail to support a decision, or fail to respond to a request. To separate task-solving competence from the ability to recover an unreliable evidence-gathering process, we introduce the Unreliable Colleagues Benchmark (UnCoBench), which organizes behavioral failures through Misaligned, Incomplete, and Missed settings. The main agent need to verify contextual correctness, diagnose information gap and track unresolved dependencies in order to obtain the correct evidence for solving the task. We also introduce a verifiable and scalable automated generation pipeline that pairs LLM-based scenario generation with executable checks of answer uniqueness and role necessity. Results across ten models show that similar reliable-setting performance can result in different robustness to unreliable evidence. Trace analysis reveals frequent omissions of corrective follow-up, and the recovery behavior involves inefficient waiting and redundant queries. These findings show that robust collaboration requires not only sound reasoning, but also targeted action to diagnose evidence failures, recover relevant information, and integrate it into decisions. Our data and source code are available at https://github.com/iNLP-Lab/UnCoBench.

GUIDE: Computationally Augmented Consensus for Trustworthy Clinical Practice Guidelines

Maintaining up-to-date clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) is essential for evidence-based medicine, but rapid evidence growth and complex expert consensus formation limit timely updates. We developed GUIDE, a multi-agent copilot system for human-AI collaborative guideline generation and updating. GUIDE delegates labor-intensive tasks to specialized AI agents while preserving expert judgment and final arbitration. In 12 NICE ophthalmology datasets, GUIDE achieved 88.85% literature recall, 86.06% alignment in certainty-of-evidence ratings, and 91.67% recommendation agreement, requiring 162.17 minutes per dataset on average (28.68% human intervention). Performance remained stable across 20 additional datasets from cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and respiratory medicine. Ablation analysis showed that removing expert intervention reduced performance in judgment-intensive steps such as Risk-of-Bias assessment. In six post-cutoff datasets, GUIDE maintained robust end-to-end performance on unseen evidence. Prospective real-world validation showed that GUIDE reduced expert workload and produced more clinically acceptable recommendations than the original decade-old guideline (mean score, 3.73 vs. 1.53; agreement, 66.7% vs. 13.3%), with outcomes comparable to human-only updating (P = 0.588) but substantially less time and effort. GUIDE offers a practical framework for timely, trustworthy, expert-centric guideline development and validates computationally augmented consensus.

Heterogeneous Agentic Coevolution

Recent advances in self-improving LLM agents have demonstrated the potential of AI systems that drive their own intelligence. However, many domain-specific applications rely on specialized foundation models that possess strong domain expertise but remain dependent on human-designed improvements. Extending recursive self-improvement to these models presents a key challenge: as a specialist improves, the strategies used to advance it must also adapt. To address this challenge, we propose Heterogeneous Agentic CoEvolution (HACE), a framework that jointly evolves specialized foundation models and LLM agents through reciprocal learning. HACE improves the specialist through supervised learning while training the agent with on-policy reinforced self-training, guided by verified performance gains on the current specialist. The agent's exploration, in turn, informs subsequent specialist training, enabling both models to adapt to each other's progress. To sustain this reciprocal learning, HACE further employs evolutionary search to optimize their interaction harness, adapting how the models exchange information and select training experiences as their capabilities evolve. We evaluate HACE across three challenging domains: recommendation systems, protein function prediction in biology, and crystal stability prediction in material discovery. We show that HACE outperforms the evaluated self-improving methods on the primary task metrics across all three domains. These results shed light on heterogeneous coevolution as a universal approach to improving specialized foundation models through reciprocal interaction with a learning agent.

Self-Compacting Language Model Agents

Long agent traces composed of chains of thought and tool calls accumulate stale content that anchor subsequent generations, and eventually outgrow the context window. Existing scaffolds mitigate it with fixed-interval compaction triggered at a token threshold. Such triggers pay no heed to trajectory structure, risking discard of partial results mid-derivation or mid-search. We propose SELFCOMPACT, a scaffold that allows the…
