Terminal-agent capability depends jointly on model weights and the runtime harness that formats prompts, binds tools, and handles error recovery. Existing harness-model co-evolution approaches improve both components, yet often treat trajectories produced during harness search as an undifferentiated replay buffer. This …

Links are disjoint unions of circles smoothly embedded in $S^3$. We use reinforcement learning and Bayesian optimisation to obtain new upper bounds on several link invariants that are not known to be algorithmically computable: the slice genus and the unknotting number for links, and the strong slice genus for algebrai …

Open-source web agents are now strong enough to execute realistic browser tasks, but training them with reinforcement learning still depends on weak supervision: binary task success is too sparse for credit assignment, while frontier-language-model judges are too expensive to call at every step and cannot be assumed av …

Long-horizon coding agents need timely corrections, yet feedback can be ineffective or even harmful when it misjudges ongoing work or fails to address the underlying problem. Existing critics focus on evaluating trajectories and generating feedback, but rarely track what happens after feedback is delivered. We present …
