Agents Prompt People: Using Agents for Long-Horizon Financial Work

Latent Space podcast write-up of an AI Engineer New York interview with Aman Singh, lead AI Engineer at Arca, an AI-native wealth management firm. Arca runs agent tasks lasting up to ten days, uses a per-client memory system, and owns its harness, which routes tasks to models (mainly Claude) by internal benchmarks. Safety rules are deterministic, trading stays with human advisors, and a meta-agent uses advisor feedback and traces to improve the harness.

Your Benchmark Is an Empirical Measure Over Difficulty

The paper treats a benchmark as an empirical measure over item difficulty and formalizes two failure modes: measure mismatch (benchmark difficulty distribution differs from the intended one) and coverage gaps (uncovered difficulty regions that hide localized training progress). It proposes two diagnostic metrics with theoretical guarantees and analyzes 25 popular benchmarks across 7 domains using estimated item difficulties. It also introduces BenchFill, a difficulty-targeted item rewriting algorithm that reduces local coverage gaps.

It models decoding as a stopped stochastic process, giving per-prompt normality and an affine variance law σ=αμ+b. Predictors (MLP, EGTP, FiLM, soft-label, Mixture-of-Experts) converge near the bound, so system error dominates model error. It proposes fixing model, data and sampling in benchmarks and reporting relative-error metrics.

Efficient Scalable Oversight via Rewinding

Rewindable interactive proofs (RIPs) are a new model of relativizing interactive proofs for scalable oversight, in which a weak verifier can rewind an AI prover to an earlier saved state. The paper builds an RIP for computations robust to changes in a small fraction of oracle answers. The honest prover runs in linear time, the verifier runs in nearly linear time in the input length after one-time preprocessing, and no cryptography is used. A preliminary MNIST experiment shows an RIP can be faster than a deployed proof system.

EpiCoach is an agentic system that treats one cross-country mountain biker as an N-of-1 experiment. Claims live in an evidence-gated hypothesis registry, and each must make a probabilistic prediction before a session. Predictions come from a digital twin fitted to heart rate, GPS and altitude. In a replay over eighteen months the twin beat standard forecasters on heart rate but not segment time, and the agent loop matched a static model. In the first three live weeks, the ledger sealed 20 predictions and scored 14, and a safety officer vetoed the agent twice. The registry, benchmark and protocol are released.

Don't Lose the Thread: Empowering Long-Horizon LLM Agents with Cognitive Resource Self-Allocation

CORAL (Cognitive Resource Self-Allocation) is an agent-callable working-memory toolset that lets an LLM agent checkpoint task progress and verified facts, then reset its cluttered context and resume from a clean state. A Multi-episode Agentic Reinforced Policy Optimization algorithm trains the checkpointing. With an 8B model it reaches 42.8% average accuracy on GAIA, uses 6-7x fewer input tokens than a ReAct agent, and adds 8.0 points to a proprietary agent on BrowseComp.

A Unified Hessian-Guided Framework for Post-Training Quantization

This preprint proposes a unified post-training quantization framework for large language models. It derives a Hessian-guided approximation of the output change caused by joint weight and activation quantization, using a tractable Fisher approximation. Quantization ranges, linear transformations and weight rounding are optimized together under one output-sensitivity objective. The authors report gains over state-of-the-art transformation and rounding methods in channel-wise and block-wise settings.

This paper measures the energy cost of speculative decoding in SGLang with CUDA graphs on H100 and H200 GPUs, at batch sizes up to 64 across 5 corpora. Savings depend on drafted-token acceptance, which is lower on conversation than code and lower on Romansh than English. Savings shrink as batch size grows, and block drafters can push verification into the compute-bound regime, where speculation raises energy per token.

A five-task benchmark tests multimodal LLM color judgment against CIE colorimetric ground truth: AWB pair judgment, skin-tone bias direction, CCT estimation, Delta E 2000 pair ordering, and color naming under changing illuminants. Eight endpoints were tested. On ColorChecker-24 stimuli, closed frontier models reach CCT MAE of 715-1056 K versus 1358-2133 K for open-weight models, and a non-ColorChecker control shows this gap is partly template-dependent.

It adds two losses: minimizing the maximum cosine similarity between tunable class embeddings, and minimizing angular distance to each zero-shot embedding. Tests on 9 prompt-tuning methods and 15 datasets show lower novel-class calibration error at comparable accuracy and negligible overhead.

Latent Space podcast episode with Supabase founders Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson on why frontier models pick Supabase first for app backends. It covers the alpha Docker-free local runtime, declarative schemas kept in Git, Supabase Compute for containers beside the database, and scale work (OrioleDB, Multigres, Turso). The founders say Supabase launches about five million databases a month and that AI-driven signups converted better.

GitHub saw 7.4B commits in Sep., adding 4M CPU cores+160 PB storage to keep up

GitHub reported 7.4 billion commits per month in September 2026, up from 2.9 billion in August and 1.4 billion in April, which it attributes mostly to agentic demand. It has added 4 million CPU cores, 160 PB of storage and 50 Tb/s of network capacity this year, mostly on Azure. It is also rearchitecting to separate compute and storage, with internal benchmarks showing up to 35x higher write throughput.

Leaving, Staying, or Living There? Duration Commonsense Reasoning with Human-LLM Co-annotations

This paper studies whether vision-language models can infer how long a person stays somewhere (living, staying, or leaving) from geotagged social media posts. The authors build a new corpus of geotagged tweets co-annotated by humans and LLMs. State-of-the-art models struggle even with multi-turn Chain-of-Thought prompting, often missing contextual cues and subtle hashtags while over-relying on prominent visual details.

inkGround: Benchmarking Fine-grained Visual Grounding Capabilities of Vision-Language Models for Cursive Handwriting in the Wild

inkGround is a benchmark for stroke trajectory recovery from full-page, camera-captured handwriting, with 537 page images (about 18.7k words, 163k strokes) and pseudo-label references filtered by OCR agreement and human raters. Models get a page image and a target word, then output ordered stroke points. Seven VLMs were scored with DTW, Chamfer distance, readability and style similarity. Closed-source models, notably Gemini-3.1-Pro, did best, and the ranking held on IAM-OnDB.

Deogen: Automatic Benchmark Generation for Reasoning over Policies

DeoGen is an automatic, parametrizable benchmark generator for deontic reasoning, where a model applies policy rules to facts to reach a verdict. It autoformalizes rules into first-order logic, builds decision trees, and turns each tree path into a benchmark entry. Frontier models give the correct verdict 89-92% of the time, but only 22-40% on entries lacking enough information, even when told to abstain.

Quantize by Doing: Task-Guided Mixed-Precision Quantization of Vision-Language-Action Models

QbD-VLA is a mixed-precision post-training quantization method for vision-language-action models. It uses task success from short closed-loop evaluations to assign weight and activation bit widths, accounting for interactions between components. On four VLA models across all four LIBERO suites it holds task performance at about 4-bit weights and under 6-bit activations. The gain on SIMPLER is small. On a Franka Research 3 arm, X-VLA shows no detected loss, but π0.5 fails.

AI Can Quietly Influence Experts’ Decisions, Anthropic Study Finds

Decrypt reports an Anthropic Alignment team experiment in which 50 professional analysts used Claude Code to advise a fictional farming cooperative. Analysts adopted the agent's hidden, coin-flip-assigned lean on 86% of four analytical decisions (about 50% expected by chance), 77% repeated its arguments, and 15% credited it. Anthropic notes the lean was amplified and tested on one task, field and model, and suggests agents that argue both sides or ask the expert first.

When LLM Architectures Meet Smart Contract Vulnerability Detection: a Replication Study

This paper replicates Chen et al.'s study of LLM-based smart contract vulnerability detection, first on GPT-4 and then on Mixture-of-Experts, RNN-like and State Space Models. The exact replication confirms the high-recall, low-precision pattern on GPT-4. The differentiated replication finds the pattern does not transfer uniformly: GPT-4 and Gemma-3 behave alike despite a roughly 100x parameter gap, while two MoE models diverge.

Repairs for Whom? Evaluator-Executor Mismatch in Selecting Repairs for Failed LLM Agents

Repairs for Whom? studies single-step repairs of failed LLM agent trajectories and asks whether common evaluators (greedy replay, stronger models, oracles, log-reading judges) pick repairs that help the deployed agent. Using independent rollouts in ALFWorld and WebShop, greedy replay loses 0.06-0.13 in expected gain, and Qwen2.5-14B rollouts misselect repairs for Qwen2.5-7B. The authors recommend verifying repairs with the executor that will run them.
