Large language model (LLM)-based agents have demonstrated strong capabilities on complex tasks. They typically perform reasoning before each action throughout an interaction trajectory. However, reasoning may not be necessary at every turn, as reasoning produced earlier can continue to support subsequent actions. A key …

Recent efforts to scale tool-use post-training have largely centered on the synthesis of executable environments, which constitute only one component of a broader agentic interaction system comprising the environment, task, agent harness, and evaluator. Scaling environments in isolation, however, does not guarantee com …

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 …
