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:2606. 25207v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) is essential for maximizing machine learning model performance, and its core challenge is sample efficiency: finding strong configurations within a limited budget.

The paper introduces a self‑evolving harness framework where a frozen language‑model agent first solves tasks and then edits its own harness based on run records. Using a 49‑line seed harness, the evolved harness improves average scores on in‑distribution benchmarks by 4.48 points and on out‑of‑distribution benchmarks by 12.64 points, surpassing Codex on the former and matching it on the latter. Continued evolution on a specific out‑of‑distribution benchmark further raises performance, and the study analyzes emergent mechanisms such as output truncation and history compaction.

DAGent introduces an Evaluate‑then‑Grow planning approach for deep research agents, building directed acyclic graphs incrementally based on confidence and uncertainty from completed tasks. The framework includes a hierarchical context layer for efficient query handling and a structural reinforcement learning component, DAGRPO, that rewards topology‑conditioned execution. Experiments on BrowseComp‑Plus, GAIA, and xbench‑DeepSearch show DAGent outperforming strong baselines across multiple backbones and scaling to large language models.
