Does Scaling Toward AGI Depend on What System-1 Lets System-2 Execute?

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper investigates whether scaling artificial general intelligence (AGI) can be achieved more efficiently by co‑designing a lightweight, semantically aware predictor (System‑1) with a resource‑intensive executive (System‑2). It introduces a conditional interaction loop—predict, gate, execute, update—where System‑1 estimates the utility of candidate actions and only allows System‑2 to execute those that meet an adaptive threshold. The authors show that, under ideal conditions, this approach can reduce execution compute by a factor related to the density of utility‑relevant interactions, and they argue that this density (ρu) is a measurable coordinate of scaling efficiency, making informative compute a better metric than total compute.

The paper investigates whether scaling toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) can be achieved by co‑designing a lightweight, semantically aware predictor (System‑1) with a resource‑intensive executive (System‑2). It introduces a conditional interaction loop where System‑1 estimates the utility of candidate actions, System‑2 executes those that pass an adaptive threshold, and the outcomes update System‑1. The study shows that, under ideal conditions, this approach can reduce execution compute by a factor related to the density of utility‑relevant interactions, and it proposes that this density is a key metric for scaling efficiency.

Cost-Effective Agent Harnesses for Abstract Reasoning and Generalization on ARC-AGI-1

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.

How Data Scales in Agentic Reinforcement Learning: Laws and Synthesis Strategies

The paper investigates how data should be scaled in agentic reinforcement learning, where data is now a structured design space of tasks, environments, and trajectories. By fitting per‑axis scaling laws across various large language models and RL algorithms, the authors find that environment diversity has the strongest impact, followed by task and trajectory diversity. Using these laws, they price synthesis methods, identify critical synthetic‑to‑real ratios, and formulate a compute‑optimal budget allocation that can improve efficiency by up to 1.7× compared to the common practice of scaling trajectories alone.

ATLAS: Agentic Test-time Learning-to-Allocate Scaling

arXiv:2606. 01667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling has become a major way to improve large language model reasoning, but its orchestration has remained designer-engineered: a fixed sample budget, a fixed refinement loop, a fixed scoring rule, or a fixed search policy decides how compute is spent, leaving the model in charge of solving but not of orchestration.
