📄 arXiv Papers — cs.AI / cs.LG / cs.CL

(5 papers most relevant to agents / reasoning / LLM training & inference; this batch came via arXiv's official RSS announcement feed and are all new 9/11 announcements)

Subagents vs Agent Skills: Executing Reusable Knowledge for Long-Horizon Agentic Tasks | cs.AI | Wasu Top Piriyakulkij, Rachel Lawrence Compares "subagents" and "agent skills" as two ways to reuse knowledge, and which is more effective for long-horizon agentic tasks.
The Menu Is an Execution Prior: State-Path Tool Menus for Online Agents | cs.AI | Bo Yan, Weikai Lin Proposes the "tool menu"—a short, ordered subset of tools shown to an agent before execution; when a tool library has thousands of interfaces, the choice itself is a prior.
Do Agents Know When They Succeed? Calibrating Agent Confidence from Internal Representations | cs.AI | Priyanka Mary Mammen, Emil Joswin Calibrates an agent's confidence about whether "this step succeeded" from the model's internal representations, aimed at safety-critical scenarios.
REVA: Reusable Evidence View Aggregation for Context-Efficient RAG Serving | cs.CL | Tuan Nguyen, Qiran Hu For online RAG serving, it uses reusable evidence-view aggregation to lower the overhead of long context.

🎯 One-Line Summary of the Day

"Agents are moving from 'able to run' to 'manageable and reusable'—skills frameworks, subagent visualization, tool menus, and confidence-calibration papers ship together, while on the open-source side DeepSeek V4.1 Flash keeps heating up; meanwhile Anthropic's threat report, an AI-hallucination fine, and the 'distillation' allegation remind us that the other side of capability expansion is the tightening headlock of safety and compliance."
