AnyAct: Universal Action for Self-Evolving Agents
AnyAct introduces a universal action layer that consolidates diverse tool capabilities into a self‑evolving action space for AI agents operating in open‑world environments. It tackles the scale dilemma, tool non‑stationarity, and heterogeneous feedback by using hierarchical progressive retrieval and test‑time reliability evolution, while a heterogeneous observation grounding module unifies multi‑modal feedback. Evaluations on LiveMCPBench and the newly created OSMCP benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance, with significant gains in task success rate and reduced execution steps, especially for models with limited native capabilities.

UniACE: A Unified Framework for Evaluating LLM Agentic Capabilities
UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.

Evolving Self-tuning Benchmarks for Long-Horizon Tool Use
The paper introduces TURTLE, an Unsupervised Environment Design framework that evolves tool‑use tasks for AI assistants by using a proposer, solver, and feedback generator powered by large language models. TURTLE automatically generates self‑tuning, long‑horizon benchmarks that increase task difficulty, diversity, and failure modes across multiple applications. Experiments on AppWorld, τ‑Bench, and AutomationBench demonstrate significant gains in hard task percentages and broader reasoning challenges.

Composing Task-specific Agent Harnesses at Test Time with Reusable Primitives
The paper introduces Harness Primitives—reusable agent harness mechanisms mined from failed task trajectories—and a framework called STITCH that selects and composes these primitives into task‑specific harnesses at test time. This approach avoids generating or debugging harness code for each task, achieving up to 12‑point gains in task success over fixed harness baselines and outperforming human‑designed harnesses like Codex CLI. STITCH also demonstrates minimal test‑time overhead (2.7%) and scales efficiently with the size of the primitive library.
