Although reinforcement learning (RL) post-training repairs the localized segmental errors of zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS), arriving at a working recipe still relies on tedious manual tuning, and whether LLM agents can take over this research pipeline is unclear. We investigate this question with AgenticTTS-Forge, a c …

Rapid progress in Large Language Models (LLMs) is saturating static benchmarks faster than they can be designed. While existing automated evolution frameworks attempt to generate harder questions by perturbing individual tasks, they remain constrained by rigid, hard-coded generation rules. Moving beyond the evolution o …

Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enables language models to adapt retrieval based on previously retrieved evidence, but it remains unclear whether such adaptive orchestration consistently outperforms well-designed static pipelines. We conduct a controlled comparison of agentic and static RAG for Taiwanese h …
