CARGO is a framework for evaluating agentic AI systems in production that addresses the problem of reference-instance divergence (RID), where reference-based judges penalize correct answers that involve different entity identifiers. It treats retrieved references as procedural exemplars, grounds judgments in the live instance’s context, assigns a three-way status to claims, and gates evaluation by retrieval confidence. Using the CARGO-Bench diagnostic suite, CARGO eliminates false penalties and improves discrimination while revealing a limitation in detecting procedural corruptions.

The paper introduces study contracts that bind declared experimental choices, run obligations, and claim scope to recorded execution evidence, aiming to distinguish contract-relative verification from scientific truth. A diagnostic using eight self‑authored clean/mutated pairs shows that a deterministic checker can detect all registered mutations when the fault‑specific rule is applied to approved and executed objects. In a broader test involving eighteen judge aliases and 144 mutated evaluation cases, 104 cases received defect flags, while the rest were abstentions or failures, illustrating the challenges of an information‑asymmetric development setting.

EvolveTrade is a self‑evolving framework that treats the system prompt of a tool‑using LLM trading agent as a text‑parameterized policy. After each update interval, a Policy Agent revises this policy using accumulated decision traces and portfolio feedback while keeping the backbone LLM fixed, allowing the agent to refine its information‑acquisition and portfolio‑construction procedures over time. Experiments across multiple market regimes and two LLM backbones show that EvolveTrade often improves Sharpe Ratio and Cumulative Return over fixed‑policy baselines, with behavioral analyses indicating increased code‑mediated analysis and regime‑relevant computations.

The paper proposes study contracts that bind experimental choices, run obligations, and claim scope to recorded execution evidence, aiming to distinguish contract-relative verification from scientific truth. A diagnostic with eight clean/mutated pairs shows that a deterministic checker can detect all registered mutations, while a broader test on 18 judge aliases flagged 104 of 144 mutated cases, with remaining cases abstaining or failing. The results highlight an information-asymmetric development setting and suggest further tests—full-information comparisons, legitimate-adaptation controls, and closed-loop agent evaluations—to assess whether contract checks improve compliant completion under optimization.

arXiv:2606. 08285v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) and agentic systems are increasingly proposed for financial trading, yet their reported performance remains difficult to compare because studies vary in data provenance, temporal split discipline, execution timing, turnover treatment, and transaction-cost modeling.

The paper introduces AgentX-Model, a dual‑agent framework that links proposal development with model experimentation in industrial recommender systems. The Research Agent drafts proposals from literature and prior findings, while the Model Agent runs multi‑round experiments, returning code, metrics, and open questions. The framework iteratively selects starting implementations and formulates new research questions, organizing work into Reproduce, Follow‑up, Composition, and Diagnose actions. Across production evaluations, most experiments exceeded business baselines, with recent A/B tests showing significant gains in acquisition efficiency, advertising spend, and watch time while reducing computational cost.
