WorkFactory is a scalable framework that transforms professional intents into executable tasks by building an information support graph and using probe executions to detect and repair support failures. The authors generated 112,686 tasks across 612 occupations and fine‑tuned Qwen models (4B, 27B, 35B-A3B) to create the WorkPilot family, which outperforms base models on four professional‑work benchmarks. The study shows that planning and repair reduce task environment defects and improve downstream performance, with diminishing returns observed as model size increases.

arXiv:2606. 17819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills -- structured, reusable knowledge artifacts that augment LLM agent capabilities -- have been rapidly adopted in industry, yet their cross-domain impact and use across commercial and open-source models remain under-studied, and no reusable methodology exists for evaluating an individual skill.

arXiv:2605. 18401v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents generate traces that could become reusable experience, but raw trajectories are noisy, local, and hard to govern.

The paper proposes a method for assessing AI suitability for workplace tasks by profiling both AI agents and tasks along shared cognitive capability dimensions. It uses benchmark performance to infer agent capabilities and expert input to weight task requirements, allowing independent updates as models and roles evolve. The authors validate the approach on synthetic agents, six AI systems, and 410 employees across six domains, showing that AI systems vary more by cognitive dimension than by model family, while workplace tasks share a common cognitive core.

The paper introduces TerminalHorizon, an automated engine that synthesizes long‑horizon trajectories for terminal agents by reconstructing environments from real‑world professional work and progressively expanding tasks to require further exploration and improvement. Using this engine, the authors create 1.5K task environments and fine‑tune Qwen3.5‑27B, producing TerminalHorizon‑27B, which shows significant performance gains across 12 benchmarks in coding, agentic production tasks, and reasoning. Case studies demonstrate the model’s ability to experiment beyond initial solutions, refine methods based on feedback, and preserve effective improvements in final deliverables.
