I built a "Traffic Light" system for AI Agents so they don't corrupt each other (Open Source)

"Hey everyone, I’m a backend developer with a background in fintech. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with multi-agent systems, and one major issue I kept running into was **collision**. When you have multiple agents (or even one agent doing complex tasks) accessing the same files, APIs, or context,..."

We benchmarked AI agent memory over 10 simulated months. Every system degrades after ~200 sessions.

"We've been building an open-source memory system for Claude Code and wanted to know: how well does agent memory actually hold up over months of real use? Existing benchmarks like LongMemEval test \~40 sessions. That's a weekend of heavy use. So we built MemoryStress: 583 facts, 1,000 sessions, 300 ..."

"Sorry, I Didn't Catch That": How Speech Models Miss What Matters Most

"Despite speech recognition systems achieving low word error rates on standard benchmarks, they often fail on short, high-stakes utterances in real-world deployments. Here, we study this failure mode in a high-stakes task: the transcription of U.S. street names as spoken by U.S. participants. We eval..."

Agentic Test-Time Scaling for WebAgents

"Test-time scaling has become a standard way to improve performance and boost reliability of neural network models. However, its behavior on agentic, multi-step tasks remains less well-understood: small per-step errors can compound over long horizons; and we find that naive policies that uniformly in..."

MonarchRT: Efficient Attention for Real-Time Video Generation

"Real-time video generation with Diffusion Transformers is bottlenecked by the quadratic cost of 3D self-attention, especially in real-time regimes that are both few-step and autoregressive, where errors compound across time and each denoising step must carry substantially more information. In this s..."

CM2: Reinforcement Learning with Checklist Rewards for Multi-Turn and Multi-Step Agentic Tool Use

"AI agents are increasingly used to solve real-world tasks by reasoning over multi-turn user interactions and invoking external tools. However, applying reinforcement learning to such settings remains difficult: realistic objectives often lack verifiable rewards and instead emphasize open-ended behav..."
