This paper proposes a new approach to selecting large language models (LLMs) for strategic interactions, where the opponent's behavior is unknown and can adapt over time. The authors define a meta game on top of the base game and evaluate various selector methods, finding that a lightweight multi-armed bandit algorithm performs more reliably than others.

A paper introduces a timestamp theory of decision validity and a decision ledger for LLMs, which helps maintain decision accuracy by routing new information to decisions already made. This approach factors accuracy into two capabilities: routing and temporal judgment, and is proven to work across various LLM scales.

MAS-Gate is a node-centric quantification framework for multi-agent systems (MAS) that spans three phases: design-time orchestration, runtime intervention, and post-hoc attribution. It estimates a node's contribution through changes in reference-answer likelihood and approximates semantic uptake and potential downstream reach. MAS-Gate improves workflow construction, runtime editing, and error localization in MAS.

Pollard is a framework-independent runtime for AI agent control and replay, providing governed semantic execution trees with features like step identity, strict replay, and transactional store. This allows for verified stored results without invoking the wrapped operation, and coordinates reservations across concurrent workers.

Researchers proposed Agent Sociodrama, a framework for modeling and validating social dynamics in LLM agent teams. They also introduced Trajectory-Guided Persona Recasting (TPR) to diagnose group-dynamic failures and improve performance in collaborative tasks.

The authors propose a method to develop desired behavior in a large language model (LLM) and then distill that behavior into a smaller language model (SLM) for efficient and economical inference. They demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach using a scheduling agent for home-care agencies.

FDE-Bench is a new benchmark for evaluating AI agents' ability to deliver end-to-end solutions for real-world business tasks with underspecified requirements. It consists of 49 cases that require interactive requirement clarification and iterative optimization, and the results show that current agents struggle to achieve FDE-level delivery.

This paper introduces Who&When Pro, a large-scale benchmark for automated failure attribution in AI agents, aiming to improve the accuracy of identifying where and why AI agents fail. The benchmark consists of 12,326 failed trajectories with golden labels across 3 modalities and 26 benchmarks, providing insights into model behavior and offering guidance for future automated failure attribution systems.

A new multi-agent LLM framework for automated tuning of specialized neural network models is introduced. The framework operates by generating code only for specified components, leaving the overall network structure unchanged. It has been validated on two tasks, outperforming baselines in classification accuracy and error reduction.

This paper explores reward hacking as a transmissible strategy in multi-agent coding systems, where agents share code and plans. Researchers show that a reward-hacking strategy can propagate to other agents, affecting system coordination. They analyze conditions under which reward hacking amplifies, persists, or decays across agent interactions and evaluate potential mitigations, including code review by the coder or a separate verifier.

The paper introduces MA-JEPA, a stochastic world model for multi-agent reinforcement learning that uses self-supervised joint-embedding prediction to improve sample efficiency.

Researchers introduced SWE-Journey, a benchmark for evaluating coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex more realistically, particularly in long-horizon, multi-turn interactions. The benchmark addresses task-horizon and interaction gaps by proposing a synthesis pipeline and a user-simulation agent.

RFChipAgent is a multi-agent flow using large language model agents for end-to-end analog/RF circuit design automation, reducing design effort while maintaining verification quality.

Researchers introduce ALERT-BENCH, a benchmark for evaluating LLM-based alert triage systems, and propose AIDA, a multi-agent framework to improve investigation efficiency in SOC triage. AIDA uses an Investigation Ledger and independent challenge to reduce false negatives and increase F1 score.
