Multi-agent LLM systems rely on message passing among specialized agents to accomplish complex tasks. However, an upstream agent may provide useful information or an incorrect answer that causes a downstream agent to override a correct answer supported by its own evidence. Prior work has not clearly separated the benef …

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) trains reasoning models to produce correct answers, but does not ensure that their stated confidence is calibrated. The resulting models are systematically overconfident. Recent methods train calibration inside the RLVR loop by having the model state a numerical con …

Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown increasing potential for medical image understanding, yet their capabilities in ophthalmic imaging remain insufficiently characterized. Existing ophthalmic datasets are typically designed for individual diseases or specialized tasks, making it difficult to systematically evaluat …
