arXiv:2605. 09692v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous language agents increasingly expose traces, memories, plans and constraints, but existing evaluations rarely test whether these state variables are bound to final actions.
arXiv:2606. 15733v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instruction-tuned language models can answer the same causal-reasoning question differently after its English variable names are replaced by type-preserving placeholders, although the structural causal model and the gold answer are unchanged.
arXiv:2607. 11388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) have enabled increasingly capable digital agents for computer use.
arXiv:2607. 03502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier LLMs can perform multi-step reasoning over content-free filler tokens like dots or counting sequences, producing correct answers with no visible chain-of-thought (CoT).
Removing the left context from a causal language model reveals a useful kind of boundary: an edge where the model processes the same right-hand tokens with little change. We turn this observation into prefix-removal probing and introduce Right Reset (RR), which measures preservation of the right-hand hidden-state trajectory.
Large language model agents are commonly trained through reinforcement learning with sparse trajectory-level rewards, which offer limited guidance on how strongly individual tokens should be updated. On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD) addresses this by re-scoring generated tokens under a privileged replay view to obtain dense, token-level supervision.
