Recent work has explored improving agents by jointly evolving their harnesses and models, but often takes a ''potpourri'' approach that bundles together new tools, new decision-making procedures, and model adaptation to the evolved harness under a single notion of agent improvement. In this paper, we instead investigat …
Scientific discovery begins where known problems end. There, AI systems must engage in exploration: framing hypotheses, designing experiments, and iterating on the results. However, evaluating this ability is difficult: (1) how to verify whether a genuinely new hypothesis holds, and (2) how to determine whether a syste …
The widespread adoption of long-horizon agents has made model workloads increasingly input-heavy. Although prior work has substantially reduced the cost of long-context computation, prefill remains computationally expensive, and large KV caches continue to strain HBM and SSD capacity and data-transfer bandwidth. Togeth …
