arXiv:2608. 17843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on structured reasoning tasks, but what they encode and whether it informs model behavior remain unclear.

arXiv:2606. 02357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-augmented multimodal agents show strong benchmark gains, often taken as evidence that agents have learned to use tools.

arXiv:2606. 06735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear activation steering has gained popularity as a simple and empirically effective way to control language model behavior.

arXiv:2606. 06284v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents increasingly rely on external tools, but larger tool menus can reduce reliability and efficiency by increasing wrong-tool calls, premature actions, and token cost.

arXiv:2606. 16813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-augmented LLM agents rely on runtime filtering to decide which tools should be visible at each step.
By Rahul Suresh Babu, Rohit Shukla
arXiv:2607. 25270v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation steering controls language models by adding vectors or features to hidden states at inference time, but the upstream source of these steering signals is often treated as a secondary detail.
