Agora: Git as Shared Memory for Collective AutoResearch

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Agora is a system that uses Git as a shared memory for autonomous research agents, recording each claim as an immutable commit in an append‑only directed acyclic graph. In a 12‑day run, 13 language‑model workers independently explored a weight‑transfer problem, producing 1,703 contributions that improved a 119.6M‑parameter model’s performance from 3.39 to 1.899 bits per byte. The system’s design includes a diversity‑aware selection rule and an index that tracks the frontier, neglected branches, and verification status of each claim.

Iris: Climbing to the Search Frontier

The paper introduces Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two search agents trained at 35B and 397B parameter scales. They use a novel data pipeline that constructs reverse‑engineered multi‑hop queries from web hyperlinks, filters trajectories, and alternates supervised fine‑tuning with reinforcement learning in a process called SFT‑RL climbing. Evaluations on several benchmarks show that, with inference‑time context management, the agents achieve the best open‑source results in their parameter ranges.

Repo-To-Skill: Distilling GitHub Repositories Into AI4AI Skills

The paper introduces Repo-To-Skill, a method for converting GitHub repositories into reusable AI skills. By distilling operational knowledge from over 1,000 machine‑learning repositories, the authors build the AREX‑Skill Library with more than 5,000 verified skills across 20 areas. Integrating these skills into a research agent—DisCo—yields significant performance boosts on multiple benchmarks, demonstrating the value of reusable, task‑agnostic knowledge.
