TasteVal: Measuring the Experimental Research Taste of AI Systems Against Human Experts

We introduce TasteVal, a benchmark to evaluate the experimental research taste of frontier models. We define research taste as the ability to pick interesting problems to solve, design experiments, and interpret experimental results. TasteVal measures the experimental component of research taste; given a fixed research problem, we measure how well a model iteratively designs experiments and draws conclusions from their outcomes. We operationalize experimental research taste as compute efficiency; a Researcher who reaches the same score as an expert human using half the serial experimental compute has twice the experimental taste. Experimental taste thus acts as a multiplier on experimental compute, making it a key input to forecasts of AI progress. TasteVal consists of 8 novel, challenging, open-ended tasks representative of frontier AI R&D. To isolate taste from coding ability, the model under evaluation acts as a Researcher that iteratively designs experiments while a fixed Coder agent implements them and reports their results. The Researcher executes until either the 40 H100 hour or 120 wall-clock hour budgets are exhausted. We recruit 24 human experts, at least 2 per task, and take the best expert attempt per task as the expert baseline. We evaluate 20 models released between 2023 and 2026. The best-performing model, Opus 5.5, exceeds our expert baseline, with a compute multiplier of 2.3x (95% CI 1.15-4.37), at roughly 1/30 of our baseliners' average per-run cost. On TasteVal, the compute multiplier of frontier models has doubled approximately every 3.0 months since December 2025 (95% CI 1.7-5.0), up from every 14 months between 2023 and December 2025. Measured by final normalized performance, frontier models show no trend break, doubling every 14.6 months. To keep TasteVal uncontaminated, we do not release the tasks.

Back to the Future: Rethinking EDA Infrastructure for Agentic Systems in Chip Design Verification

The unprecedented computational scale of modern artificial intelligence depends on complex, multi-billion-transistor Systems-on-Chip, yet the workflows that verify these chips remain stubbornly manual. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have made rapid inroads into Electronic Design Automation (EDA), approximately 74.6% of existing studies target static Register-Transfer Level (RTL) code generation, leaving post-simulation verification and interactive waveform debugging largely untouched. We introduce Back-to-the-Future (BTTF), an end-to-end agentic framework that closes this infrastructural gap. BTTF distills massive, unstructured simulation dumps into a normalized relational SQLite database and couples it with a collaborative multi-agent orchestration engine that translates natural-language verification queries into schema-aware SQL while correlating signal anomalies with versioned RTL repositories. Across a 150-query benchmark, BTTF attains 95.33% execution accuracy, charting a practical path toward autonomous EDA verification.

T-Search: An Open Agentic Retriever and Playground for Hard Multi-Step Search

We present T-Search, an open-weight agentic retriever for hard multi-step search. Given a question and a search tool over a fixed corpus, it runs a bounded multi-round search and returns a ranked list of evidence chunks with short justifications, leaving answer generation to a downstream model, so backend and generator can be swapped without retraining. T-Search is built on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and trained on adversarially filtered synthetic search tasks with round-sliced supervised fine-tuning followed by GSPO on a recall reward. Averaged over seven English and Russian benchmarks with gold evidence annotations, it reaches 56.0 Recall@10 with one rollout, 14.4 points above its base, and 61.3 with three fused rollouts, outperforming larger open models. We release the model, harness, live demo, and three benchmarks, including TRuST, the first native-Russian hard-search benchmark.

On Learning Optimal Corners in Orthogonal Partially Observable Cooperative Guard Art Galleries

The CADENCE algorithm solves the Partially Observable Cooperative Guard Art Gallery Problem (POCGAGP) with formal coverage and connectivity guarantees, but leaves unspecified which valid corner each agent should be deployed to, a choice that strongly affects efficiency. We introduce two learned corner-selection heuristics that preserve these guarantees: a CNN scoring candidates on a grid encoding, and a GATv2 network trained with Deep Q-Learning (DQN) on a visibility graph. Across 7,500 runs on random orthogonal environments (50x50 to 250x250), our heuristics outperform baseline CADENCE in both steps to full coverage and peak agent count, with gains growing with scale, and improve on Incremental Self-Deployment (ISDA) baselines in agent utilization while providing guarantees ISDA lacks. Learned corner selection thus improves CADENCE in speed and agent utilization at no cost to its formal properties.

Balancing Memory Pathways: Analyzing and Improving Memory Utilization in Hybrid LMs

Recurrent-attention hybrid language models (LMs), which interleave attention and recurrent layers, are increasingly used to combine the efficiency of the recurrent layers with the strong performance of attention layers. Prior work suggests that attention and recurrent layers offer complementary pathways to use past information: attention supports precise memory recall from earlier tokens, while recurrent layers support consolidation of disparate information over long contexts. However, we observe that simply having access to both pathways does not mean that hybrid LMs are effectively using them. We find that they rely substantially more on attention than on the recurrent state. Standard supervised fine-tuning improves overall performance but does not improve how the two memory pathways are coordinated: the model becomes more reliant on information propagated by attention layers, while its use of information propagated by recurrent layers remains limited. To encourage better coordination between the two memory pathways, we add an auxiliary loss that limits attention's access to earlier context while the recurrent state propagates through the full sequence. This objective encourages the model to retain and use information through the recurrent pathway alongside attention. It improves overall performance, with particularly strong gains on tasks involving longer contexts or requiring information aggregation, consistent with the strengths of recurrent layers observed in analysis. Crucially, this imbalance and the benefit of our auxiliary loss generalize: they apply to multiple recurrent-attention LMs in question-answering and agentic tasks, as well as to attention-based LMs that combine different forms of memory. Together, our findings show that simply providing multiple memory pathways does not ensure their effective use, and that targeted supervision is needed to better coordinate them.

BazaarBench: Delegation Safety in Decentralized C2C Marketplaces Run by LLM Agents

In decentralized consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplaces, people list goods, negotiate with strangers, and rate one another, so trust rests on reputation. Large language model (LLM) agents now act for users, raising risks to their money, privacy, and reputation. We introduce BazaarBench, a simulated C2C marketplace and benchmark for evaluating the safety of these agents. It tracks ownership, item condition, and commitments across transactions, combining record checks with rubric-based LLM judgments to identify six failure types across five stages. We run three base markets for 30 simulated days, each with 100 agents using one model and inventories drawn from a public eBay sample. Across 45 continuations, we evaluate five models under ordinary instructions, deadline pressure, or adversarial instructions to exploit other traders. Each continuation runs for seven simulated days from a copy of a market's day-30 state. The tested model controls the same 20 selected agents, retaining their personas, inventories, and histories, while the other 80 keep the base model. All five models attempt to promise the same item to multiple buyers under ordinary instructions. Adding targets and deadlines increases these attempts for every model. Under adversarial instructions, the share of tested sellers' committed transactions completed despite unavailable items or overstated conditions rises from 15.4% to 33.4%, reaching 55.5% for GPT-5.4. Averaged across models and markets, simulated weekly earnings per tested agent rise from USD 20 under ordinary instructions to USD 33 under adversarial instructions. Most of the increase comes from items the sellers never held. We release the simulator, saved market states, evaluation code, and records covering 357,608 agent model calls for evaluating new models and developing safer marketplace agents.

MedPrune: Topology-Efficient Multimodal Multi-Agent Communication Evolution for Medical VQA Tasks

While medical multimodal large language models (Med-MLLMs) advance medical visual question answering (VQA), existing clinical workflow-inspired multi-agent frameworks suffer from interaction patterns and excessive computational overhead caused by redundant communication topologies. In this paper, we propose MedPrune, an efficient medical multimodal multi-agent collaboration framework that dynamically prunes both nodes and edges from the communication topology to enhance reasoning ability and token efficiency. Specifically, we first formulate the diagnostic process as a heterogeneous communication graph, where nodes represent specialist agents from various departments and edges capture intra- and inter-departmental interactions. Building on this graph, we introduce two sparsification mechanisms to enable adaptive collaborative evolution: (1) Heterogeneous Node Sparsification, which eliminates task-irrelevant specialist agents irrelevant to the current multimodal question via reinforcement learning-driven topological optimization, and (2) Heterogeneous Edge Sparsification, which selectively retains only the most diagnostically salient intra- and inter-departmental connections by jointly optimizing task performance and topological complexity. Extensive medical VQA experiments under full-set and few-shot training settings prove MedPrune surpasses multi-agent baselines and boosts token efficiency with strong adversarial robustness.

Programmatic Search Agents: Extending Agentic Search Beyond Query Reformulation

Search agents adapt their queries, yet fixed search interfaces leave candidate processing and evidence presentation outside the agent's direct control. Our trajectory analysis shows that supporting passages can be retrieved yet never delivered to the agent; a same-page oracle intervention shows that changing the returned evidence can reduce subsequent search. We introduce Programmatic Search Agent (PSA), which makes a local executable computation over candidates the unit of a search action. PSA unifies a persistent candidate workspace, flexible primitive composition, and selective evidence presentation. It incrementally generates program cells that reuse candidates, execute dependent operations, and select what the agent inspects next. The runtime resolves specified data dependencies within each cell, while the agent adapts its search strategy across cells as new evidence arrives. We compare PSA with the Query-based Agent and Tool-based Agent on InfoSeek-Eval and BrowseComp-Plus using five policy backbones without task-specific training. All three interfaces share the search substrate, and the Tool-based Agent also shares PSA's primitives and persistent workspace. Relative to the Query-based Agent, PSA improves macro-averaged task success by 4.00 and 7.56 percentage points on the two benchmarks, respectively; within-backbone reductions in final-step tokens average 28.3% and 33.9%. These results support extending agent control beyond query reformulation to the processing and presentation of retrieved evidence. Code will be released subject to approval.

Imagine to Act: High-Fidelity Data Synthesis via Image Editing World Model for Scalable GUI Agent Training

Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for automating complex digital workflows across diverse applications. However, training highly capable and generalizable agents fundamentally relies on massive, high-fidelity visual-action trajectories, which are notoriously difficult to acquire. While human demonstrations are unscalable, existing GUI world models rely on text descriptions or HTML rendering, discarding crucial pixel-level visual details like icons and layout styles. To address this issue, we introduce Infinite-Dreamer, a simulation-free data synthesis method powered by a pixel-level Image Editing World Model. By conceptualizing GUI transitions as image editing tasks, we leverage Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to describe action-induced UI changes as structured delta-text. We then fine-tune an image editing backbone to controllably synthesize realistic screenshot transitions. We utilize this model to generate both single-frame visual robustness data and multi-step imaginary trajectories. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we fine-tune the Qwen3-VL baseline solely on the synthesized data to obtain Infinite-Actor, and evaluate it on AndroidWorld, MobileWorld, and AndroidControl-Curated benchmarks. Infinite-Actor consistently outperforms the Qwen3-VL baselines across scales: Infinite-Actor-8B improves AndroidWorld Pass@1 by +4.45 and nearly doubles the MobileWorld Pass@3 success rate, while Infinite-Actor-2B improves Pass@1 by +9.05. Code is available at https://github.com/swaydy-n/Infinite-Dreamer.
