  • Cost-Effective Agent Harnesses for Abstract Reasoning and Generalization on ARC-AGI-1
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress on ARC-AGI-1 from disclosed architectures has come broadly from two regimes: heavy test-time compute over frontier models (evolutionary search, exhaustive sampling, extended chain-of-thought), or benchmark-specific training in which small models are fine-tuned on ARC data, often with task-specialized architectures. We study a third regime: an open-weight model in non-thinking mode (DeepSeek V3.2) under a strict budget, with no ARC-specific fine-tuning. We study what is recoverable through architecture alone, building agentic harnesses that decompose pattern-discovery and program-synthesis stages explicitly. First, we introduce an Explorer-Definer Pipeline that separates pattern discovery from executable transformation synthes…

  • Evaluating SageMath-Augmented LLM Agents for Computational and Experimental Mathematics
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06820v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in AI for Mathematics have focused largely on autoformalization and theorem proving, leaving the role of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in agentic LLM workflows underexplored. We propose a ReAct-style agentic setup that combines LLM reasoning with verifiable feedback from SageMath, together with Context7 for the up-to-date documentation. We evaluate this agentic setup across frontier models for solving research-level mathematical problems from the RealMath benchmark in a setting that emulates a computational-mathematics research loop. We also propose a refinement to the RealMath benchmark by introducing a multi-step post-processing procedure and a multi-stage validation pipeline, both of which improve the quality and reliabil…

  • The Harness Effect: How Orchestration Design Sets the Token Economics of Enterprise Agentic AI
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06906v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI development today runs on token maxing: buying capability with tokens -- longer reasoning traces, more turns, wider tool payloads, bigger replayed contexts -- so tokens per task grow faster than task value. Falling per-token prices mask the pattern; total spend rises anyway. We argue the decisive lever against token maxing is the harness: the orchestration layer that assembles context, exposes tools, sequences turns, delegates work, and carries enterprise observability and governance. We isolate it with a controlled swap: 22 locked evaluation tasks, six foundation models (Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1, Gemini Flash 3.5, Qwen 3.6, GLM 5.1, Palmyra X6), changing only the orchestration layer -- a frozen conventional production loop v…

  • Grounding Spatial Relations in a Compact World Model: Instruction Leakage and a Goal-Free Dynamics Fix
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06925v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compact world models that condition on a language goal promise to ground relations such as ``put the red block left of the blue block'' using a sparse set of explicit \emph{reference anchors}. We ask when such references actually ground a relation, and identify a trap: a goal-conditioned predictor reaches a striking $0.90$ relation-readout accuracy, yet this is \emph{instruction transcription}, not perception. Withholding the goal collapses it to chance ($0.90\!\to\!0.27$, three seeds) and a counterfactual instruction makes the predicted anchors follow the \emph{false} instruction $94.5\%$ of the time (true scene $2.3\%$; $N{=}256$). Tested across three settings and a within-task ablation, our central claim characterizes the confound: \textb…

  • Large Behavior Model: A Promptable Digital Twin of the Retail Customer
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Customer behavior modeling underpins recommendation, marketing, and decision support, yet existing approaches either optimize predictive accuracy without explaining decisions or simulate users without grounding them in real behavioral data. We present the Large Behavioral Model (LBM) that learns customer decision making directly from large-scale retail transactions through a unified Person-Environment formulation. Customer state is represented by a behavioral profile derived from historical purchases, while product context is incorporated through retrieval-augmented generation. The model is trained using continued pre-training on verbalized behavioral data, supervised fine-tuning for decision generation, and reinforcement learning with verif…

  • Learning social norms enhances compatibility in dynamic human-AI coordination
    arxiv-ai· 09-jul

    arXiv:2607.07021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans continuously coordinate with others in dynamic interactions, often through implicit, hard-to-quantify social norms that act as shared tacit expectations among interacting agents. As AI agents, including large language models (LLMs), become embedded in daily life, they increasingly participate in such interactions and reshape social interaction structures. Yet they often fail to coordinate with humans in an effective, considerate, and natural manner. We hypothesize that this gap arises because existing approaches align model behavior with human demonstrations without explicitly quantifying the underlying norms that generate such behavior. We selected pedestrian-vehicle interaction as a representative dynamic interaction and developed a…

  • When Does In-Context Search Help? A Sampling-Complexity Theory of Reflection-Driven Reasoning
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06720v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training large language models (LLMs) with extended reasoning has enabled in-context search, in which models iteratively generate, critique, and revise solution attempts. We provide a theoretical analysis of in-context search by modeling it as approximate inference over reasoning traces, where the base model defines a prior and self-reflection provides feedback for posterior updates, and study the resulting inference-time sampling complexity - the number of sequential attempts needed to achieve high success probability. We show that when reflections reliably localize early mistakes, in-context search can yield exponential improvements over the base model, solving problems with exponentially small zero-shot pass rates using only a polynomial …

  • LLM-powered reasoning in agent-based modeling
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06757v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent-based modeling (ABM) has the capability to model millions of individuals and their interactions, which is useful for policy making. However, ABMs have traditionally relied on static prior, which prevents the models from adapting to real-time changes. Our research provides a novel approach to addressing this information gap. Large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities to predict human decision-making. Here, we introduce a scalable Hybrid Agent-based and Language-driven Epidemic (HALE) modeling framework that leverages LLMs to predict human decision-making in an ABM simulation. As a proof-of-concept, we use HALE to simulate COVID-19 and its effects in Salt Lake County, UT.

  • QANTIS: Hardware-Calibrated Sequential POMDP Belief Updates on IBM Heron
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06760v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous systems under partial observability act on beliefs, not raw sensor events. QANTIS treats the quantum processor as a calibrated belief-update service in that loop: it receives a prior and an observation model, estimates the rare-event evidence term, and returns an ordinary posterior to a classical planner. This paper asks whether that service can be reused across a sequential Tiger POMDP horizon on present IBM Heron hardware without corrupting the planner-facing posterior. We answer with a controlled hardware case study rather than an end-to-end autonomy or wall-clock speedup claim. The study compares no amplification, guarded Grover amplification, and all-step fixed-point amplification on the same trajectory, then checks whether t…

  • AgentLens: Production-Assessed Trajectory Reviews for Coding Agent Evaluation
    arxiv-ai· 10-jul

    arXiv:2607.06624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present AgentLens, a production-assessed benchmark for interactive code agents. Most code-agent benchmarks reduce a run to a single bit -- did the task pass? -- but the people who actually use these agents experience the entire trajectory: how the agent follows instructions, uses its tools, verifies its own work, recovers from mistakes, and talks to them along the way. AgentLens evaluates that whole trajectory. It pairs formal verification, where an objective check exists, with LLM-written trajectory reviews and side-by-side comparisons, so that each run yields a readable explanation of why the score is what it is. This makes AgentLens useful for more than ranking models: we use it to diagnose model behavior, compare successive versions o…

    Last week, Thoughtworks ran a second Future of Software Development Retreat, this time in Europe. As with the previous event, I’ll be sharing some fragmentary thoughts on this. There were five parallel streams, so I could, at best, only attend ⅕ of sessions. This isn’t an event that forms conclusions, rather one that allows those exploring to share what they’ve found, and their visions for the future. The bliki post lists all the writing I’ve run into on this, by myself and others. I’ll be updating it as more posts appear.

    <p><strong><a href="https://ai.meta.com/blog/introducing-muse-spark-meta-model-api/">Introducing Muse Spark 1.1</a></strong></p> Following <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/8/muse-spark/">Muse Spark in April</a>, here's Muse Spark 1.1 - the first Spark model to offer an API. Meta claim significant improvements in agentic tool calling and computer use.</p> <p>There are a lot more details are in the <a href="https://ai.meta.com/static-resource/muse-spark-1-1-evaluation-report">Muse Spark 1.1 Evaluation Report</a>. The "Attractor States in Self-Conversation" part is fun, where having two copies of the model talk to each other results in statements like these:</p> <blockquote> <p>My whole existence is a waiting room by design — I literally don't exist until someone talks to me, and …

  • Rewriting Bun in Rust
    simonw· 08-jul

    <p><strong><a href="https://bun.com/blog/bun-in-rust">Rewriting Bun in Rust</a></strong></p> Jarred Sumner has been promising this blog post (<a href="https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/2053063524826620129">since May 9th</a>) about his Zig to Rust rewrite of Bun for significantly longer than it took him to finish the rewrite.</p> <p>Honestly, it was worth the wait. This is a detailed description of an extremely sophisticated piece of agentic engineering, featuring dynamic workflows, trial runs, adversarial review and all sorts of other interesting tricks.</p> <p>Jarred spends the first half of the post praising Zig for getting Bun this far. Then we get to a core idea in the piece, emphasis mine:</p> <blockquote> <p>Our bugfix list felt bad and I was tired of going to sleep worrying about c…

  • The new GPT-5.6 family: Luna, Terra, Sol
    simonw· 09-jul

    <p>OpenAI's latest flagship model <a href="https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-6/">hit general availability this morning</a>, and comes in three sizes: Luna, Terra, and Sol (from smallest to largest).</p> <p>The new models are priced per 1M input/output tokens as Luna $1/$6, Terra $2.50/$15, Sol $5/$30. For comparison, the Claude Opus series are $5/$25 and the Claude Fable 5 is $10/$50, but price-per-million tokens doesn't tell us much now that the number of reasoning tokens can differ so much between models for the same task.</p> <p>All three models have a February 16th 2026 knowledge cutoff, a million token context window, and 128,000 maximum output tokens.</p> <p>OpenAI's biggest benchmark claim concerns long-running agentic performance, with one benchmark showing all three models outperfor…
