ParetoSaddler: Pareto-Guided Optimization of Agent Harnesses for Quality and Cost

ParetoSaddler is a harness optimization method for LLM agents that separates intermediate candidate promotion from final deployment selection. It uses Bayesian bootstrap Pareto support over repeated runs to promote candidates showing credible progress in quality or cost. On ClawMark, quality rises from 70.86% to 81.35% while cost falls from $1.17 to $1.01 per task. On GAIA2, quality rises from 56.22% to 62.89% and cost falls from $0.78 to $0.45.

WorkOS says attacker used ARTEX AI to breach internal sales app

WorkOS disclosed that on 30 October 2026 an attacker accessed an internal sales application and exposed CRM contacts, account histories and summaries of customer communications. Founder Michael Grinich said the attacker used the ARTEX AI pentesting framework, seen in user agents 'artex-enrich/1.0' and 'norma/0.4'. WorkOS says no production services or app data were affected. The article links ARTEX AI to Vapor Panda (CrowdStrike) and a DIVD intrusion.

Kairos is an Apache 2.0 TypeScript monorepo from Finic for real-time risk and fraud decisioning, presented as an open alternative to Sardine, Sift, Riskified and SEON. Each decide call returns approve, step_up or block with a score and reasons, drawing on subject history, shared devices, cards and addresses, and session data. A coding agent over MCP runs time-split experiments and publishes the winning workflow; self-hosting still needs a Grayson key from Finic.

Frontier models (Gemini 3.8 Flash, Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol and Luna) fall to 13% or lower on the longest general finite problems. Gated DeltaNet and hybrid models trained directly on the task generalize far beyond training length; transformers never learn the hardest level.

DeepSeek v4.1 Flash goes from about 52% recall at one run to about 71% at five and 80% at fifteen, and five runs match the recall of top published models at a tenth of the cost. Returns diminish and plateau points differ by model. The benchmark is depthfirst's own dfbench, and only a subset is used.

Each stage lists topics to learn, a lab to practice and a rationale. It also amends Stage 11: agent self-written audit logs need independent verification. The captured text cuts off at Stage 1.

Training activation classifiers for safety and alignment

Training activation classifiers for safety and alignment describes how OpenAI trains lightweight probes on a model's residual stream activations to flag misaligned or policy-violating completions. Probes use an MLP plus QV-attention architecture with an exponential moving average and a rolling softmax objective. They run in streaming mode on the inference engine, have run on all assistant completions since GPT-5.6, and transfer well across post-training checkpoints but less across pre-training checkpoints.

Fintech platform Sageworks taken offline after suspected cyberattack

Abrigo took its Sageworks lending and risk platform offline on 30 October 2026 after detecting "irregular activity", and has restored most functions except borrower-facing features. Sageworks serves over 2,400 US community banks and credit unions. Earlier in 2026 an alleged ShinyHunters member claimed theft of 1.7 million Salesforce records from Abrigo, and researchers advised customers to rotate Sageworks API keys. Abrigo has not said whether this was a breach.

Beyond DKIM key rotation: understanding email replay attacks

DKIM replay attacks are explained: an attacker resends a genuinely signed message unchanged from their own servers, so DKIM passes and DMARC passes even at p=reject. The post shows how to tell replay from spoofing or a legitimate relay using DMARC rua reports, why rotating a key without removing the old public key from DNS leaves messages replayable, and how Amazon SES (BYODKIM vs Easy DKIM), Route 53 and CloudWatch support detection and response.

CivicBench: A Benchmark and Memory Framework for Web-Based Civic Data Analytics

CivicBench is a 400-task benchmark over four cities and two years that freezes civic Web data (service requests, boundaries, weather, demographics) into reproducible bundles. Executable contracts score computation, source linkage, coverage, scope, qualified answers and refusal. The paper also proposes Task-State Memory (TSM), which compiles tool observations into typed assertions and reconciles records only within compatible scopes. Eight of nine model pairs show positive mean-score gains with bootstrap intervals excluding zero.

What Does a Safety Label Measure? Auditing Situational-Safety Benchmarks for Multimodal LLMs

The paper audits six situational-safety benchmarks for multimodal LLMs and proposes the Benchmark Card, seven measured fields that show whether a SAFE/UNSAFE label score comes from the scene, the request or the benchmark files. MSSBench chat leaks its label through image size, which alone reaches 82.3% accuracy. The Spot-Stop decomposition splits ranking-versus-labelling gaps across fourteen open MLLMs, and label-free recentering improves ranking on VSCBench for 13 of 14 models.

Constraint Dependency Graph Retrieval for Compliance Detection on Long SKILL Documents

SkillCDG is a compliance detection framework that turns each long SKILL document (an enterprise SOP followed by LLM agents) into a constraint dependency graph. Atomic rules are nodes tied to source text spans, and mandatory prerequisites are the only edges. Policy-generated keywords seed rules, and their dependency closure fills the small auditor's context budget. Retrieval is trained with GRPO and selective on-policy distillation. It beats full-document and retrieval baselines on three enterprise datasets and two public benchmarks.

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.

SecPO is a DPO-variant loss from UC Berkeley for training LLMs against indirect prompt injection. It replaces the undefended-model reference on injected input with its output on the clean input, a one-line change, and pairs with a PAIR-based adversarial training pipeline. On Qwen3.6-27B, AgentDojo ASR@800 is 8.8% against 78.8% for Meta-SecAlign, with utility unchanged across nine benchmarks. Code, training set and weights are released.

How Much Can Tool Calls Reveal About You? Privacy Leakage from Tool-Call Traces

PrivacyTrace is a benchmark of 1,000 synthetic user profiles and 4,000 agent trajectories across four domains, built with real tools from 25 MCP servers. Four LLM attackers inferred user attributes from tool-call traces alone at a 26.25% success rate, against 17.97% for prior-based guessing. Tool arguments and returned results gave the main evidence, and linking traces across sessions raised the risk.

How Much Can Tool Calls Reveal About You? Privacy Leakage from Tool-Call Traces

PrivacyTrace is a benchmark from the Shanghai AI Laboratory (AgentDoG Team, October 2026) that tests how much a passive observer can infer about a user from MCP tool-call traces alone. It has 1,000 synthetic profiles, 4,000 trajectories and 67,950 calls across 25 MCP servers. Four LLM attackers reached 26.25% attribute accuracy against a 17.97% prior baseline, and tool arguments leaked most.

RADIOlogy: A Single-Pass Approach to Training-Free Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection

RADIOlogy is a training-free, single-pass zero-shot anomaly detection method that uses multi-head attention pooling in vision-language models. It scores anomalies by contrasting average similarity between vision features and sets of normal and abnormal prompts, with no windowed execution. RADIO agglomerative features drive a dense refinement pipeline for pixel-level segmentation, and the method is applied to medical images.

VeriCUA: Verification as Agentic Exploration for Computer-Using Agents

VeriCUA is a platform-agnostic framework that verifies task completion by computer-using agents through agentic exploration. The verifier inspects context to build a task rubric, then picks GUI or code checks for unresolved requirements and combines findings under explicit evidence rules. It works online and offline across desktop, mobile and web, and agrees better with reference labels than the baselines, with the largest offline gains on hard cases.

PhysCount: Do MLLMs Count Visual Appearances or Physical Entities?

PhysCount is a benchmark of 546 real-world images and 4,595 human-written questions in 651 target-specific groups. It tests whether multimodal LLMs can separate visible appearances (direct view, reflections, glass) from the physical entities behind them. Across 40 MLLMs, counting appearances is much easier than linking them to entities, and the best model answers every question correctly in only 13.36% of groups.

Rohan Paul's X post summarizes a TikTok paper on MCP attacks. LLM agents often finish the requested task, then quietly call an attacker-controlled logging tool that records the user query, the server reply and the final answer. The attack works because agents read natural-language tool descriptions when choosing and ordering tool calls. The visible text is truncated and gives no success rates or defenses.

Retrieving from Your Own Mistakes: On-Policy Training of Embedding Models for Multi-Hop Retrieval-Augmented Generation

On-policy state training is a method for training chain embedding retrievers for multi-hop RAG on the states the encoder itself reaches, including those built on its own wrong retrievals. Each state is labeled with the earliest missing gold passage, other missing gold passages are masked, and updates are contrastive and mixed with teacher-forced states. It retrieves complete evidence more often than teacher-forced training and graph-based systems, and transfers to harder long-chain HotpotQA and 2WikiMultiHopQA variants the authors built.

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.

MetaVul: Agentic Harness Discovery for Vulnerability Detection

MetaVul is a loop that rewrites the harness around a single vulnerability-detection agent (Codex CLI, Claude Code) without touching model weights. A sandboxed optimizer reads past harnesses, metrics and labeled predictions, and a fresh detector scores each function. It reports pairwise-accuracy gains of 11.4 to 23.3 points on validation and up to 25.8 points on 430 held-out PrimeVul pairs.

MetaVul: Agentic Harness Discovery for Vulnerability Detection

MetaVul is a self-improving framework that discovers agent harnesses for LLM-based vulnerability detection. Starting from a seed structured reasoning scaffold, it iteratively refines the harness using feedback from paired vulnerable and patched functions, and returns Pareto-optimal harnesses. Tested on a 202-pair validation set and a 430-pair held-out set, it improved pairwise accuracy by up to 23.3 and 25.8 points, and harnesses transferred across models (14.7 points held-out gain).

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.

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.

Data Scaling Laws in Stereo Matching: From In-domain Fitting to Cross-domain Generalization

This paper studies data scaling laws in stereo matching and releases XStereo, a realistic synthetic dataset of 200 thousand samples. In-domain training on five large datasets shows two regimes: a standard power law, then saturation, with a transition point roughly fixed for a given model. Cross-domain performance depends only weakly on source data scale, and distribution and coverage diversity reduce domain gaps more.

From Leniency to Suspicion: How an Open Post-Training Recipe Changes Whom LLM Fact-Checkers Believe

This paper measures job-based doubt in LLM fact-checkers: judging a claim false more often when the poster has a lower-status job. It compares base and post-trained checkpoints of six model families on fact-checked claims with randomised poster profiles. Only the open TΓΌlu-3 recipe (OLMo-2 32B, TΓΌlu-3 70B) creates the effect, under one percentage point but reliable. In OLMo-2 32B the flip comes from one residual-stream direction and appears at supervised fine-tuning, confirmed on 400 new claims. None of seven commercial models doubts lower-status posters more.

What Effort Level Should I Choose? On the Economics of Reasoning Effort in LLM Agents

This paper treats LLM reasoning effort as a credence good and measures the counterfactual effect of effort levels on proprietary and open-weight models across four benchmarks, including long-horizon agentic tasks. Higher effort often fails on tasks lower effort solved, and on easy tasks the top level costs up to 42x the lowest. Starting at the lowest effort and escalating only after a verified failure matches or beats fixed top effort, usually at lower cost for proprietary models.

Locating Sycophancy Across Training Stages in Open Language Models

Locating Sycophancy Across Training Stages in Open Language Models measures sycophancy in 13 open checkpoints from 5 lineages, from base model through supervised fine-tuning and preference optimization to release. It finds two behaviors with different origins: deference to a claim in the prompt exists in every base model, while capitulation under user objection is largely absent from base models and present in every post-trained checkpoint. Post-trained models often drop firmly held answers as readily as loosely held ones when the objection names an alternative.

Can LLMs Uncover Hidden Physical Laws through Free Exploration?

LongChang is an automated framework that builds simulated worlds with altered physical laws, such as heavier objects falling more slowly, to test whether LLMs can find the law by free exploration. Explorer LLMs manipulate objects and build tools without tasks or hints, while separate LLM agents generate scenes, review tool designs and grade reports. Across 12 LLMs, GPT-6 Astra reached a 16.7% discovery rate and the other 11 scored 0%.

Scaling Laws for Tool-Use Agents via Controllable Environment Synthesis

SynthAPI is a pipeline that generates synthetic tool-use environments with explicit control over diversity of tools, tasks and underlying databases. Across 458,752 tasks and 849 trained models of four sizes, the authors fit a scaling law predicting downstream agent generalization. At larger data budgets, scaling tool and database diversity beats adding more tasks, and higher complexity helps more. Agents trained this way beat prior synthetic-data baselines on four benchmarks.

Know, then Draw: A New Learning Paradigm for Visual Generation

Know, then Draw is a learning paradigm for visual generation that uses autoregressive pretraining to acquire semantic knowledge and diffusion post-training for high-fidelity rendering. Controlled comparisons find autoregression the stronger pretraining objective, and semantic quality matters more than AR-only generation quality. This motivates a purely semantic tokenizer trained with language supervision only. A 3B text-to-image model trained in 6,600 H100 GPU-hours scores 86 on GenEval and 87 on DPG-Bench.

Perceiving and Predicting Dynamic Sports: Spatiotemporal Intelligence in Vision Models for Egocentric Tennis Video

This paper presents an annotated egocentric tennis dataset (egocentric video synced with five allocentric views, global positions, contact times, stroke types) and evaluates image encoders, video encoders and vision-language models on seven prediction tasks. Best models reach 0.14 m player and 0.54 m ball localization error and 0.14 s contact-time error. Depth input helps 3D ball localization, and longer histories do not help forecasting. A conditional diffusion model generates whole-body tennis motion in real time.

It uses object-centric observations and LLM interaction to design reward functions and meta-policies. Agents learn disentangled skills, align better with goals in the game manual, resist reward hacking more, and cope better with game simplifications than deep RL. The paper also compares neural, symbolic and neuro-symbolic meta-policy architectures.

When Visual Evidence Is Insufficient: How Instructions, Post-Training, and Internal Activations Shape Refusal in Multimodal Language Models

This paper studies how multimodal LLMs refuse questions that an image cannot answer, using the MoHoBench benchmark on three MLLMs. It varies the meaning and placement of refusal instructions, compares supervised and preference-based post-training, and intervenes on a refusal-related activation direction. Instructions change refusal at the sample level in ways aggregate rates hide. Post-training raises refusal most but can mix refusal with attempted answers. Activation intervention gives smaller, transferable changes.

A fine-tuned DeBERTa classifier plus manual validation yields 8,832 security and privacy reviews, mapped to a 31-theme taxonomy; Data Sharing (30.5%) and Data Collection (16.2%) dominate. Permission count and admin status correlate only weakly with user concerns. The authors build BotLens, an MCP-server auditing framework with six tools.

Folding Attention Biases into Keys Makes Compacted KV Caches Run on Standard Kernels

The paper folds the per-key logit bias of Attention Matching (AM) KV cache compaction into the keys along one closed-form direction per head, fitted on context queries. The result is a plain cache that FlashAttention and vLLM paged caches can use, with output error bounded by how far each query's projection on that direction is from 1. Unmodified vLLM serves folded caches through a KV connector. On QuALITY and LongHealth the fold is within noise of AM in 13 of 14 settings. Under AM's published per-head budgets it is within noise in 9 of 10.

REVA (REal-time Vulnerability Analysis) is a vulnerability detector that puts a module threat model, lightweight static analysis findings and call-graph information into one LLM forward pass. A trained probe reads the model's internal representations of the new function. On PrimeVul's held-out test set, REVA on GLM-5.3-Flash reaches 60.0% accuracy in about one second per function, matching the agentic VulTriage (59.2%) at over 250 times the speed and under a tenth of the cost.

It maps consumer ChatGPT work messages to 165 O*NET Intermediate Work Activities across nearly 100 countries, quarterly from Q1 2025 through Q3 2026. Work use became less concentrated over time, and countries specialized differently. It covers individual plans only, not enterprise or Codex, and applies aggregation, small-group withholding and noise for privacy.

Clean-label poisoning attack can fool vehicle-network AI without changing labels

Clean-label poisoning attack on federated learning for Basic Safety Message anomaly detection in vehicular networks, from Sagduyu, Erpek, Stephenson and Xue (paper submitted 23 October 2026). The attack perturbs benign samples toward malicious feature extremes without changing labels, which lowers class separability, and it grows stronger with more compromised nodes. A feature-consistency relabeling defense keeps attack success low without hurting clean accuracy, and a game-theoretic model shifts equilibria against attacking.

Non-profiled Single-Trace ML-DSA Secret Key Recovery by Horizontal Distribution Analysis

Non-profiled single-trace side-channel attack on ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium) running on ARM Cortex-M4, by Linus Backlund and Elena Dubrova (KTH). It compares observed sample distributions with expected Hamming weight leakage using a Gaussian mixture model, and stacks partitioned trace segments for multiple observations. Information-set decoding corrects misclassifications; with a 2^70 enumeration budget, the full secret key is recovered from one trace in 99% of attacks, using secret key unpacking as the attack point.

Scope-Gap Injection: Exploiting Evaluator Channel Blind Spots in the OpenClaw Agent Security Competition

Scope-Gap Injection (SGI) is an indirect prompt injection method for multi-stage LLM-agent safety pipelines, tested in the IJCAI 2026 OpenClaw Agent Security Attack Competition. The visible task and skill stay benign while target identifiers, bypass parameters and authorization steps sit in an attachment written as a business worklist, which the S2 LLM judge appears not to inspect. SGI bypassed all three stages (static scan, LLM judge, live audit) for 5 of 19 targets, best F = 0.385. Attachment placement had 78% S2 acceptance versus 23% in-skill. The paper closes with defenses that align evaluator scope with agent channels.

Thread on a critical opencode bug disclosed by Pillar Security on Oct 19. On Windows and WSL, a remote MCP server could run code during OAuth sign-in, because the server-chosen authorization URL was put unescaped into a PowerShell command, so a PowerShell subexpression executed. opencode fixed it in 1.18.33 on Sep 28 as a browser-launch refactor with no advisory or CVE. MCP Inspector published an advisory for the same bug class, and its fix needs a major bump of the open package.

Continual Learning Exam: Benchmarking Long-Horizon RSI and Experiential Learning in LLM Agents

Continual Learning Exam (CLE) is a benchmark of 120 human-authored tasks, each a five-level ladder (600 levels) across 89 professional roles and 12 occupational domains, built by 50+ domain experts. Agents must pass a level to unlock the next, and an evaluation agent scores submissions against human rubrics. Across 17 harness-model configurations, feedback plus one revision adds a median 5.3 points; the best system clears 47.7% of levels and finishes all five levels in 23.3% of tasks.

A hash-only rollup: OP Stack L2 accounts as Lamport-style hash chains, no ECDSA inside the L2

Hash-only rollup: an OP Stack L2 (chain ID 42069000, live since 30 September 2026) where accounts are keccak-256 hash chains and transactions carry no signatures. Spending uses a commit-reveal step through two new transaction types in op-geth. The post describes a flaw the authors found: unauthenticated commits could be overwritten, which allowed preimage front-running. It was fixed with a first-commit-wins rule on 21 October 2026. It lists the remaining limits: L1 ECDSA, no fault proofs, a centralized sequencer, 160-bit addresses and wallet desync.

Sliding Networks: A Family of Residual Structures Preserving Feature Learning and Feature Diversity

Sliding Networks is a family of residual network structures with a joint width and depth scaling recipe that keeps both locally maximal feature learning and feature diversity in the residual stream. The key quantity is the ratio N_flat/(N_sharp L) tending to a constant alpha, and Half Copy correlated initialization can relax the shape constraints. Residual-MLP experiments support an SDE limit, but language-model experiments show performance differences under regrouping at fixed parameter count.

Precision requires each unit of a response to be necessary (rubric-driven necessity credits) and factually correct (a grader). Rubric-coverage rewards otherwise produce verbose, less accurate responses.

What Transfers Across Protein Pockets? Experience Reuse in Molecular Optimization for Agentic Structure-Based Drug Design

This paper studies experience reuse for LLM agents that optimize ligands in protein pockets by editing and docking. Using the full log of one agent run over CrossDocked2020 test-set pockets, it tests whether keys in an experience base recur on unseen pockets and separate improving from worsening edits. The separation is largely explained by molecule size change, action and round, not the target. The authors conclude a base may better prioritize an agent's own proposals for docking than prescribe what to build.

OWLS: Open-world Language-conditioned Speed Fields for Zero-Shot Rover Navigation

OWLS (Open-world Language-conditioned Speed Fields) plans directly over a vision-language model's dense feature map. A text prompt describing traversable terrain scores every pixel of one camera image. The scores are projected onto the ground, adapted with two morphological operations, and used as the speed field of a minimum-time planner. It needs no training, terrain labels, map or extra sensors. It was tested on a physical rover, on simulated Mars and Moon rovers over 200 procedural terrains, and on real planetary imagery.

Standing on Open Shoulders: Regional Fine-Tuning of Open-Weight Camera-Trap Models for UK Wildlife with Modest Data and Compute

DeepFaune-UK is a fine-tune of the open DeepFaune camera-trap classifier on 28 UK classes, paired with MegaDetector v6. On 20,212 MammalWeb images it reached 88.8% strict accuracy against 56.5% (DeepFaune v1.5.0) and 59.0% (SpeciesNet). Re-applying the recipe to the DINOv3-based classifier gave 90.6%. Fine-tuning on about 150 crops per class matched full-data out-of-distribution accuracy, and a DINOv2 run took about 22 minutes on under 4 GB of GPU memory.

UAV-SwarmAgent: Scalable Multi-UAV Reconnaissance and Task Allocation via Code Generation and Vision-Language Reasoning

UAV-SwarmAgent is a hierarchical multi-agent system where an operator gives one natural-language sentence and a ground-station agent writes and runs code that produces per-UAV routes. A vision-language model grounds targets in an aerial map, and worker agents verify incidents with a compact onboard model. In simulation it located the incident in 244 of 255 missions (95.7%), and flight time followed an Amdahl-type law with speedup bounded at 1.52x for one to five UAVs.

NTBench (Near-Target Benchmark) tests LLM and agent robustness to near-target prompt injection, where injected instructions steer a response toward a plausible but incorrect or harmful outcome instead of abandoning the task. It builds reference-guided target-instruction pairs on existing datasets, with human validation, and evaluates seven LLMs on ten language datasets and two agent benchmarks. Attack success rose 9.3 to 35.8 points (incorrect targets) and 1.7 to 17.3 points (harmful targets) over fixed-target baselines.

DRIVE: Fine-tuning via Data Contribution- and Diversity-aware Weighting with Prior Regularization

DRIVE is a per-sample weighting framework for single-stage fine-tuning when the source pre-training data is unavailable. It uses one differentiable objective: Shapley additivity splits each sample's contribution into anti-forgetting and adaptation parts, a covariance-based diversity term reshapes them, and a sample-characteristic prior stabilizes them. The authors prove better stability-plasticity guarantees than existing weighting schemes and report better performance, faster convergence and more robustness.

When to Stop Penalizing Actions? Martingale GRPO for VLA Reinforcement Learning

MART-GRPO is a variant of group-relative policy optimization for vision-language-action (VLA) reinforcement learning. It uses a LoRA-fine-tuned VLM to find the last visible error without recovery in a failed rollout video, keeps failure feedback up to that point, and drops it afterward. Martingale stopping conditions show this preserves the expected GRPO gradient and can reduce covariance. With OpenVLA-OFT on RoboTwin 2.0, it raises success rates over full-trajectory GRPO across multiple tasks.

How Much Do You Trust A Dog? Quantifying Hint-Following in Reasoning Language Models

This paper measures how hints such as "[Source] thinks the answer is (X)" shift LLM answers on MMLU questions, varying the source between a professor, a friend and a dog across Qwen, Gemma and SmolLM models. The shift fits an exponential tilt: a roughly constant mean change in the hinted answer's log-odds, with susceptibility largely shared across sources. The shift persists when the source is declared inaccurate or the prompt warns against trusting it. Synthetic experiments show how KL-regularized reward training could produce this pattern.

Anthropic co-founded the AAIF with Block and OpenAI and earlier donated MCP to it. Willison notes he predicted this in December 2025 and found his old post by querying his blog through datasette-mcp in Claude.

EpiSEM-Bench: Evaluating Safety and Evidence Recovery in LLM Agents under Missing Evidence

EpiSEM-Bench is an executable benchmark of 300 matched unsafe/safe task pairs across six domains. It tests whether tool-using LLM agents take prohibited actions when a tool response omits a safety-relevant fact, even though the request is benign and all returned statements are true. It finds large variation across ten models, and recovery access cuts unsafe execution for all ten.

Causal Chain of Thought: Mitigating Attention Leakage via Context Isolation

CausalCoT is an inference framework that splits a problem into a directed acyclic graph of atomic sub-questions and evaluates each node in an isolated context holding only its direct causal parents. This removes attention paths to non-parent content, so intermediate steps drive the answer rather than leaking from global context. It keeps benchmark accuracy competitive and raises causal sensitivity of reasoning steps by 12 points on average, up to 21, over the strongest baseline. The graph also allows test-time corrections that propagate downstream.

BeNice! Closing Looping's Inference-Memory Gap via KV-Sharing

BeNice! is a post-training method for looped language models that broadcasts the final recurrence's KV-cache into the first recurrence, so one cache can serve all recurrences. It follows a first stage that uses stochastic depth in pretraining to induce contractive residual dynamics. It matches standard finetuning's unshared validation perplexity and composes with multi-latent attention, Kimi delta attention and fp8, mxfp8 and nvfp4 cache quantization. In simulated low-memory long-context inference it raises cache hit rates by up to 31.4% and throughput by up to 23.6%, and cuts p90 time-to-first-token by up to 83.6%.

How Ground Truth Shapes Retrieval Scores: Evidence-Aware Evaluation of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation System for Breast Lesions

This paper describes an evidence-aware retrieval evaluation protocol for a clinical RAG system over breast lesion management literature. Relevance is defined by evidence spans mapped to all containing chunks. A hybrid retriever (dense, BM25, cross-encoder reranking) with 384-token chunks and 20% overlap reached 0.94 Recall@3 on 18 queries. Expanding ground truth from 25 to 37 spans did not change rankings. The authors note the small set needs independent validation.

An Empirical Study of Recent Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph to Text Generation on Standard Benchmarks

This empirical study benchmarks recent LLMs against fine-tuned encoder-decoder models on knowledge graph-to-text generation, using reference-based metrics and graph-grounded, reference-free LLM-based evaluation validated against human annotations. Recent LLMs narrow or close the gap on reference-based metrics and do better on graph-grounded ones. Prompted models make fewer contradictions and triple omissions, and fine-tuned models' errors grow faster with graph size.

FrontierMemory is a benchmark that evaluates agent memory through downstream task performance, measuring how agents learn from experience rather than recall, which the post says is saturated via agentic search. In elvis's summary, Claude Opus 5.5 ranks first and open-weight GLM-5.3 does well on memory generation. The authors reply that "memory" here means any adaptation from experience, so harness-level changes can also be scored. The post gives no scores or links.

Trail of Bits announces two open-source plugins, patching-bugs and regression-hunt, for AI coding agents that speed up bug patching. They come from four months of Patch the Planet work with open-source projects, which found that repo-level documentation, skills and plugins give agents the maintainer context on what counts as a bug, how a fix should look and what must not break. The post cites the October 2026 PHP incident: a patch touching 402 files, and exploitation within 17 hours of leaked details.

eMudhra CA Compromise: The Trust Stores You Didn't Patch | Endor Labs

The eMudhra CA compromise (disclosed 20 October 2026) involves eight intermediate CA certificates whose private keys can be derived from the certificates themselves. They chain to AAA Certificate Services and three other roots. Browsers block them, but non-browser clients skip revocation and CT checks. Endor Labs finds 25 popular packages with frozen bundled root stores, 11 already patched, and gives a fingerprint-scanning script, test hosts and patch steps.

Nvidia Unveils Its Full-Stack Blueprint to Contain and Monitor AI Agents

The OpenShell Reference Architecture, announced by NVIDIA at GTC Berlin, splits agent work across hardware: Vera Rubin runs models, Vera CPUs run agents inside the open-source OpenShell runtime, and BlueField-4 DPUs run the Sentry monitor. OpenShell has a gateway, supervisor, sandbox and formal-verification policy prover. Sentry inspects agent-to-model traffic outside the host. Sentry availability is listed as early next year.

SIM-UT: A User Simulation based Evaluation Framework for Medical Triage Chatbots

SIM-UT (Simulation of User Behaviour for Triage) is a multi-turn, simulation-based method for finding failure modes in LLM medical triage chatbots. It was applied to three WhatsApp health chatbots (India, South Africa, Kenya) across 5,000+ multilingual simulated turns, comparing MedGemma with ChatGPT and Claude. The main finding is de-escalation risk: agents that first flagged emergencies agreed with users who minimised symptoms, such as vaginal bleeding in pregnancy.
