The paper introduces an agentic forecasting environment built on 2,100+ resolved Polymarket questions, where a language model (Qwen3.5-35B-A3B) learns to gather evidence during rollout via web search, page reading, and financial time series, all filtered to avoid post‑cutoff leaks. Training with single‑epoch GRPO and a Brier‑score reward improves calibration by 30‑40% and reduces search attempts, while the trained policy outperforms four frontier models in evidence‑based forecasting, achieving lower soft‑Brier scores at roughly 5% of the inference cost. The authors release the environment, dataset, and per‑rollout records as a reusable harness for temporal forecasting agents.

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.

CAST is a critique‑aware training framework that transforms sparse task outcomes into action‑level supervision for both critique learning and policy optimization. By analyzing agent trajectories, CAST synthesizes structured rationales that explain action validity under partial observability, enabling the creation of richer training data. Fine‑tuned Qwen3‑family models trained with CAST show significant reliability gains, outperforming GPT‑OSS‑120B by over 10% on Retail tasks and improving Telehealth performance by 9% in an out‑of‑domain setting.
