arXiv:2608. 05466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-quality long-horizon training data for terminal agents is expensive to produce, often costing hundreds to thousands of dollars per task, because each task must keep the instruction, environment, reference solution, and verifier mutually consistent.
arXiv:2607. 08964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents have become capable of autonomously completing short, well-specified tasks.
arXiv:2606. 18284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The limiting resource for training agents via reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly frontier task supply: valid, solvable tasks just difficult enough to train the current model.
arXiv:2607. 14186v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthesizing training data to scale agent capabilities in LLM post-training is bottlenecked by substrate-bound task synthesis: tasks are generated from fixed tools, repositories, or skill graphs, so expanding coverage requires manual substrate engineering, transferring to a new domain demands bespoke infrastructure, and the resulting distributions inherit substrate biases rather than reflecting real-world demand.
arXiv:2605. 14084v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Code agents must both reason over long-horizon repository state and obey strict tool-use protocols.
arXiv:2604. 00392v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agents that synthesize their own tools ship a second artifact alongside each answer: a software library that future tasks reuse, compose, and depend on.
arXiv:2607. 20499v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models generate plausible backend code, but a single-pass paradigm provides no guarantee of correctness or runtime reliability.
arXiv:2606. 02908v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn user-facing agents must infer user intent from incomplete requests, collect missing information through dialogue and tools, and execute valid actions.
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.
arXiv:2608. 15089v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents can fail even when their underlying models can solve the constituent steps.
arXiv:2606. 10064v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Small-model agentic post-training is bottlenecked less by the algorithm than by the trajectory substrate it consumes.
arXiv:2608. 06352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training terminal agents requires executable and verifiable tasks that are not merely solvable, but appropriately challenging for learning.
arXiv:2606. 03892v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training LLMs to orchestrate multi-step tool calls is held back by three coupled obstacles: realistic stateful execution environments are costly to build, synthetic training queries are often detached from the server's actual state (so the generated tool calls fail to execute), and recall-based RL rewards incentivize verbose tool-calling patterns.
