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

(5 papers most relevant to agents / reasoning / LLM training & inference)

Agentic Societies Need a Social Harness | cs.MA | Tapan Chugh, Vidushi Singh Experiments show that in agentic societies, even honest and capable agents often fail to reach satisfactory outcomes under existing harnesses and messaging primitives; faulty or malicious agents can exploit "speech" communication loopholes to drag down collaboration and distort results. The authors argue that beyond each agent's private harness, a "social harness" layer is needed, architecturally providing (i) direct prevention of certain failure classes, (ii) runtime detection of invalid messages, and (iii) post-hoc accountability.
ScienceBuddy: Recursive-in-Recursive Self-Improvement for Interactive Scientific Agents | cs.AI | Shuhan Xue, Jianyuan Zhong An interactive research workbench that turns a researcher's requests, feedback, and execution evidence into continuously learning tasks and grading criteria. The core is "recursion within recursion" self-improvement: an inner loop evolves the harness while the model is frozen, and an outer loop trains the model under the improved harness — the two feed each other.
When Should LLMs Abstain? Chain-of-Self-Questioning for Selective Risk Control | cs.CL | Ali Şenol A prompt-only CoSQ framework that ties "whether to answer" to an explicit self-assessment of the information required. On TruthfulQA, Grounded-CoSQ cuts the ungrounded-error rate from 13.1% to 8.9% (a relative −32.1%) and raises accuracy from 86.9% to 89.7%, applying across all 11 open and hosted model families.
JustFit: 200K-Token LLM Serving on a 24 GiB Laptop with Just-in-Time State Management | cs.AI | Yuhua Chen An MLX inference runtime that uses compressed KV execution (KVExec), component-resident paging (PhaseSwap), and state-preserving switching (StateTrans) for just-in-time state management, decoupled from weight quantization. On a 24 GiB M4 Pro running Qwen3.8-27B MXFP4, single-request context rises from a 30,720 baseline to 212,992 positions (6.93x), answering 29 of 30 AIME 2026 problems correctly.
Coupled Calibration and Learning: Mitigating Teacher Bias in LLM Distillation | cs.LG | Haichen Hu, Yuheng Zhang Direct imitation distills a teacher's systematic bias along with everything else, which is especially severe under covariate shift with no target-domain reward feedback. CCL uses token-level branching to couple teacher calibration with student updates, uses only source-question reward feedback, and proves that the expected average KL between student and oracle student converges to 0 at a polynomial rate.

@karminski-牙医 (09/17 08:15) — Responding to "if Intel PMem were used for LLM KVCache it'd revive the business": in practice write speed is poor, it can't even beat enterprise SSDs, and there are NUMA issues too.

@Mango_芒果哥 (09/17 08:02) — Opinion: an LLM isn't a brain — it has no persistent storage and loses memory when a session ends, so don't over-rely on connected results either.
