↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AIWhen Should Forecasting Agents Reason? Behavioral Stress Tests for Reliability RoutingForecasting agents increasingly combine language-model reasoning, retrieval, ensembling, and calibration, but it remains unclear when each behavior should be trusted. We study this question on ForecastBench-style binary forecasting tasks, treating the choice to retrieve, reason, defer to a market prior, or use a histo…
↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AITW3Cast: A Frozen Router of Lightly Fine-Tuned Foundation Models for Time-Series Forecasting on GIFT-Eval, Selected Entirely on the Training SplitTW3Cast is a time-series forecasting system that reaches position 3 of 130 entries on the GIFT-Eval benchmark by mean MASE rank, as of 2026-09-14. The two entries above it belong to the leaderboard's agentic category, multi-step systems that use agents or language models to reason about, generate or select forecasts.…
↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AIPAWS: Policy-driven Agentic World SimulationPolicy interventions propagate through public communication, institutional decisions, and stakeholder responses, yet datasets for financial multi-agent simulation rarely connect these processes to temporally aligned historical evidence. We introduce PAWS, a Policy-driven Agentic World Simulation dataset covering 36 ve…
↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AIPistis Technical ReportWe introduce the Pistis model family, comprising 27B- and 9B-parameter multimodal large language models built on Qwen3.6 and Qwen3.5, respectively, and developed through a general and scalable post-training framework. The framework first establishes a strong foundation through large-scale multimodal supervised fine-tu…
↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AIBaseCamp --- An Agentic AI Framework for Automating DNA Sequencing Data PipelinesDNA sequencing pipelines, spanning quality control, alignment, variant calling, and annotation, are now reliably executed by workflow management systems that orchestrate established bioinformatics tools at scale. What remains manual is the decision layer surrounding that execution: selecting quality thresholds appropr…
↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AIDEEPO: Dual-Entropy Enhanced Policy Optimization for Hallucination in MLLMsReinforcement learning (RL) is widely used to sharpen reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), yet its effect on hallucination is uneven. We trace this to two weak points in the \emph{correction chain} from reward to parameter update. At the rollout level, hard queries---those with high semantic entropy-…
↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AITWIST: A Proposed Benchmark for Intervention Quality in Conversational Memory, with a Human-Validated Draft-AlignmentLong-conversation memory benchmarks increasingly test recall and prompted knowledge updates, and recent work studies evolving user beliefs and memory state. TWIST is a proposed benchmark suite for a complementary, unmeasured property: intervention quality -- whether a deployed memory system, exercised through its own…
↗Sep 25, 2026arXiv cs.AIAdversarial Closed-Loop Curriculum for Evolving Role-Playing AgentsRole-playing agents based on large language models have been widely applied in areas such as personalized assistance and social simulation. Recent RL methods typically train on a fixed scenario pool collected before learning begins. This creates a distributional bottleneck: as the agent improves, the scenarios where i…

↗Sep 24, 2026arXiv cs.AISilent Failures in Agent-Tool Interaction: An Audit of ToolUniverseAgentic AI systems are increasingly adopting automated pipelines that integrate multiple tools. While prior research and benchmarks have studied about task success and task completion of these agentic systems, the research about agent to tool interaction, specifically in biology agentic workflow is limited. This study…
↗Sep 24, 2026arXiv cs.AIHarness as a Language: A Minimalist Agent Framework With Maximal ExpressivityModern language-model agents are built around the \textit{agent loop}, where the LLM is placed in an environment exposing a set of tools, and the LLM has full control over the workflow by alternating between tool calls and observing their output. However, certain workflows currently require additional engineering beyo…
↗Sep 24, 2026arXiv cs.AITwinCheck: Evidence-Grounded Negative-Twin Verification for Stateful Tool AgentsA single locally plausible tool call can derail an otherwise successful agent trajectory. Suspicion alone does not justify intervention, because the replacement itself can introduce the very failure verification is meant to prevent. We introduce TwinCheck, an inference-time verification policy that considers replaceme…

Predicting Objective Conflict and Covering Trade-offs in Steerable Pluralistic AlignmentPeople hold diverse, sometimes conflicting values, so no single aligned model can satisfy everyone. Pluralistic alignment therefore calls for steerable models that can balance competing objectives differently. Multi-Objective Direct Preference Optimization (MODPO) does this by using an objective weight to span a conti…
