StarDojo: Benchmarking Open-Ended Behaviors of Agentic Multimodal LLMs in Production-Living Simulations with Stardew Valley

arXiv:2507. 07445v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous agents navigating human society must master both production activities and social interactions, yet existing benchmarks rarely evaluate these skills simultaneously.

A Machine-Verified Proof of a Quantum-Optimization Conjecture

arXiv:2606. 29687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We report a machine-verified resolution of a problem open for over a decade in quantum optimization: the Farhi, Goldstone and Gutmann (FGG) conjecture that depth-$p$ Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) on the ring of disagrees attains approximation ratio $(2p+1)/(2p+2)$ exactly.

When Stopping Fails: Rethinking Minimal Risk Conditions through Human-Interactive Autonomous Driving for Safe Transportation Systems

arXiv:2606. 29115v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly deployed in urban environments, yet their safety frameworks remain primarily designed around collision avoidance and minimal risk condition (MRC) behaviors such as slowing or stopping when uncertainty arises.

LEDGER: Scaling Agentic Document Editing with Dependency-aware Graph Retrieval

arXiv:2606. 28379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce LEDGER to tackle the novel context engineering challenge of agentic document editing, where localized edits to long, structured documents must be applied efficiently without breaking cross-references or semantic consistency.
