The paper introduces Strategy Accumulation and Guided Execution (SAGE), a two-stage framework that makes automated fine-tuning of large language models cumulative. In the first stage, a multi-agent pipeline uses Monte Carlo Tree Search to explore training strategies while a Distillation Agent records task-specific insights and cross-task confidence scores into a structured repository. In the second stage, SAGE retrieves relevant experience from this repository to guide training on new tasks, achieving a 12.4‑percentage‑point improvement over a baseline pipeline without accumulated experience on nine unseen tasks.
MLExpert is a 35B Mixture-of-Experts agentic model designed to autonomously perform long‑horizon machine learning engineering (MLE) tasks. It uses a post‑training method that combines hierarchical agentic supervised fine‑tuning with Windowed Interaction RL to learn from intermediate outcomes in complex experimentation workflows. On the MLE‑Bench Lite benchmark, MLExpert raises the average medal rate from 37.9% to 72.7%, matching the performance of larger frontier models and demonstrating generalizable optimization capabilities across related tasks.
arXiv:2605. 28556v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As agent capabilities advance, existing benchmarks, such as $\tau^2$-Bench, are becoming increasingly saturated.

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.
arXiv:2607. 07984v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) methods have grown increasingly efficient, yet they remain bounded by manually engineered search spaces that require substantial domain expertise and must be rebuilt for every new task.
