A corpus-specific clinical RAG system matches or outperforms newer frontier LLMs on HealthBench

An Agentic Workflow for Legacy HPC Modernization: Converting the Two-Electron-Integral Core of GAMESS

Data Attribution of Emergent Misalignment with Persona Features

Information Abundance Paradox: Long-Context Training Undermines Parametric Knowledge

Actions Speak Louder than Words: Measuring Cross-Lingual Policy Retention in Tool-Using Agents

"When a tool-using agent is given the same task in a different language, does it still take the same steps? Multilingual evaluation rarely asks: it compares final answers and discards the actions. Yet those actions are the product: they fix cost and latency, decide how the system fails, and are the o..."

One Frozen Simulator Is Not Enough: Simulator Collapse in Multi-Agent RL

How to Spend Your Oracle Budget: Practical Guidance for Protein Structure Prediction Models

Why Does CLAUDE.md Keep Growing? Catastrophic Remembering in Agentic Coding
