Doomed from the Start: Early Abort of LLM Agent Episodes via a Recall-Controlled Probe Cascade

Large language model (LLM) agents solving multi-step tasks frequently commit to trajectories that are doomed to fail, yet continue to consume substantial inference compute before the failure becomes observable. We show that failure is predictable early from the agent's internal representations: lightweight per-round probes on hidden activations anticipate eventual episode failure as early as the first interaction round, where scorers reading only the agent's observable behavior are barely better than chance.

Conservative Meta-Agent Search: Architecture Adaptation under Non-Stationarity

The paper introduces Conservative Meta-Agent Search (CMAS), a method for adapting agent architectures in non‑stationary environments. CMAS retrieves archived designs, proposes typed graph edits, and evaluates them through paired shadow replay with variance‑penalized scoring and a simulated canary stage before promotion. Using the MetaInvest‑Bench simulator, CMAS reduces surrogate dynamic‑oracle regret and improves held‑out utility across 96 financial streams, while maintaining low false‑promotion rates and modest inference cost.
