From Model Scaling to System Scaling: Scaling the Harness in Agentic AI

"This paper studies the next major bottleneck in agentic AI as system scaling, not only model scaling: the design of auditable, persistent, modular, and verifiable architectures around foundation models. We refer to this shift as scaling the harness: treating the structured execution layer around a f..."

LLMs as Noisy Channels: A Shannon Perspective on Model Capacity and Scaling Laws

"Existing scaling laws for Large Language Models (LLMs), predominantly monotonic power laws, fail to explain emerging non-monotonic phenomena such as catastrophic overtraining and quantization-induced degradation, where performance deteriorates despite increased compute. We propose the Shannon Scal..."

Retrying vs Resampling in AI Control

"AI coding scaffolds like Claude Code and Codex use \textit{retrying}: blocking actions flagged as risky and continuing the trajectory. We study retrying from an AI control perspective, which treats the model as potentially adversarial. We find that while retrying reduces honest suspicion scores, the..."

Agentic Proving for Program Verification

"Agentic systems have recently emerged as state-of-the-art approaches for automated theorem proving in formal mathematics. To assess how far these capabilities extend to program verification, we evaluate Claude Code in an agentic proving framework on CLEVER, a Lean 4 benchmark for verifiable code gen..."

Building Conifer, an open-source local inference runtime (free + open source)

"Team of 5 from Princeton, and we got funding to build a local inference engine for Apple Silicon - rust, hand written kernels - and we're at the point where working with \~100 people will expose bugs/what people want tool-wise. All of this is free open source - will remain so. We're ahead of llama/..."

AI-Assisted Systematization for Evaluating GenAI Systems

"Evaluating generative AI (GenAI) systems is challenging because many targets of evaluation are broad, contested concepts, such as "reasoning," "fairness," or "creativity." When these concepts are left underspecified, it becomes unclear what should be measured or how evaluation results should be inte..."

Automated Benchmark Auditing for AI Agents and Large Language Models

"Modern AI benchmarks operate at a complexity that outpaces traditional verification methods. Tasks authored by domain experts often contain implicit assumptions, incomplete environment specifications, and brittle evaluation logic that human annotation cannot reliably catch. We introduce Auto Benchma..."

VeriTrace: Evolving Mental Models for Deep Research Agents

"Deep research agents face vast, interdependent, and pervasively uncertain information. Existing systems explore what evolving intermediate representations should look like, but leave their evolution to the LLM's implicit reasoning. Without explicit regulation, the intermediate layer is easily contam..."

CausaLab: A Scalable Environment for Interactive Causal Discovery Toward AI Scientists

Unlike prior evaluations, CausaLab evaluates both whether an agent can solve a problem using causal evidence and whether its answer is supported by a correct hypothesis about the underlying causa..."

DiscoverPhysics: Benchmarking LLMs for Out-of-the-Box Scientific Thinking

"Frontier LLMs now perform strongly across a wide range of physics evaluations, but it is hard to disentangle genuine reasoning from recall of established science. We introduce DiscoverPhysics, an interactive benchmark that asks a LLM agent to discover the laws of motion of a simulated world whose ph..."

SkillOpt: Executive Strategy for Self-Evolving Agent Skills

"Agent skills today are hand-crafted, generated one-shot, or evolved through loosely controlled self-revision, none of which behaves like a deep-learning optimizer for the skill, and none of which reliably improves over its starting point under feedback. We argue the skill should instead be trained a..."

AI agents need audit trails more than they need more autonomy

"A lot of people talk about AI agents like the main goal is making them more independent. But the more I think about it, the bigger issue is probably visibility. If an AI is only answering a question, it is easy to judge the result. But once it starts doing things across websites, accounts, forms, su..."

Claw-Anything: Benchmarking Always-On Personal Assistants with Broader Access to User's Digital World

Yet current systems operate over only narrow slices of that world, limiting context-sensitive reasoning and effective assistance. Existing benchmarks..."

It's the humans, not the data: Geopolitical bias in LLMs originates in post-training, amplified by the language of the prompt

"It has generally been assumed that geopolitical bias in language models originates from the training data used during the pre-training phase. We tested seven open-weight LLM pairs consisting of the base model (pre-training only) and the chat model (pre-training and post-training) from seven labs on..."

From Raw Experience to Skill Consumption: A Systematic Study of Model-Generated Agent Skills

In particular, \emph{domain-level} and \emph{model-generated} skills are especially promising. They offer fast adaptation within a domain by encoding domain-specific recur..."
