AI with Authority, from Application to Silicon

For sixty years, machine verification has been a major cost overhead, affordable only for exceptional artifacts. Here we report that generative AI inverts this relationship: at AI speed, machine verification is not only economical but essential to productivity --- it is the incorruptible referee that lets one person safely direct autonomous machine work at scale. In five weeks, one researcher on consumer AI subscriptions directed a small fleet of AI agents from application code, through a verified compiler and executive, to a RISC-V processor taped out on a community silicon shuttle; no proof passed through human review, and no RTL was written by a human. The working discipline --- the Salt method --- rests on a proof kernel no hallucinated proof can pass: mathematical claims travel between agents as kernel-checked artifacts, and human attention is reserved for statements, designs, and rulings. Verification is stated link by link, from the Lean 4 kernel to SAT-checked equivalence at the silicon boundary. We publish the complete accounting: theorem provenance, a pre-registered token meter, floor-bounded human time, and an error ledger whose catch numbering runs to #256 --- a monotone counter over the mathematics campaign's append-only flags ledger, maintained 2026-07-07 to 2026-07-20 (one number, #79, was never assigned; later catches are recorded un-numbered) --- against zero incorrect proofs reaching the record.

Asymmetric Capacity Allocation in Self-Refinement Pipelines

Self-refinement, typically structured as generation, critique, and revision, is a widely adopted paradigm for improving LLM generation and serves as a core mechanism in many LLM agents. While the three stages involve different cognitive demands, most existing approaches conveniently treat the model size as an implementation detail rather than a subject of study, which may lead to a waste of resources. Little work has systematically examined how model size affects each stage or whether effective self-refinement requires equally capable models for generation, critique, and revision. We present the first stage-wise model size study of the self-refinement pipeline on 5 benchmarks from different domains using 6 model sizes of Qwen3 and 4 model sizes of Gemma 3. We conclude that larger generators and refiners generally improve the pipeline, whereas an undersized refiner can even harm performance. Second, performance is highly insensitive to the size of the critic, although including even a small critic consistently outperforms omitting critique altogether. Our findings demonstrate that model capacity should not be allocated uniformly across self-refinement pipelines. Instead, different stages exhibit distinct size scaling characteristics, providing practical guidance for designing more computationally efficient multi-stage language model systems.

AUSO: Action-Level Unified Skill Optimization from Internalization to Utilization

Skills play different roles as an agent's policy evolves: they should first provide learnable knowledge, then support capability formation, and finally be invoked only when they improve individual decisions. Existing methods rarely model this lifecycle. They either keep skills outside the model, fully internalize them, or select among internalization and utilization objectives through noisy task-level success rates. Such designs fragment training and assign uniform importance to actions within the same trajectory, even though skill guidance may help some decisions while distracting others. To solve these problems, we introduce AUSO (Action-level Unified Skill Optimization), which unifies skill learning and skill use through a progressive, action-aware optimization process. At the beginning of training, AUSO jointly learns from teacher guidance and environmental outcomes, enabling the policy to acquire foundational skills without losing task-oriented feedback. It subsequently emphasizes outcome-based policy optimization to consolidate autonomous problem-solving ability. As the policy matures, AUSO evaluates each sampled action under both skill-conditioned and skill-free contexts. The resulting action-level information signal is coupled with the trajectory outcome advantage, allowing beneficial skill-sensitive actions to receive stronger updates and harmful ones to be suppressed. Therefore, skills gradually transition from an external source of supervision into decision knowledge whose utilization is adapted to its action-level benefit, while reinforcement learning remains the shared backbone across all stages. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and SearchQA show that AUSO consistently improves agent performance and out-of-distribution generalization over competitive baselines.
