Soul Computing: A Theoretical Framework and Technical Architecture for Intelligent Agents with Independent Consciousness

arXiv:2606. 10413v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Breakthroughs in large language models and multimodal generation technologies have propelled the digital reconstruction of human mental traits, emotional patterns, and long-term memory from science fiction toward engineering practice.

Less Context, Better Agents: Efficient Context Engineering for Long-Horizon Tool-Using LLM Agents

arXiv:2606. 10209v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models deployed as autonomous agents for enterprise workflows face a key challenge: verbose tool responses from enterprise systems can cause context overflow, stale-state errors, and high inference cost.

ChartAgent: A Multimodal Agent for Visually Grounded Reasoning in Complex Chart Question Answering

arXiv:2510. 04514v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent multimodal LLMs have shown promise in chart-based visual question answering, but their performance declines sharply on unannotated charts-those requiring precise visual interpretation rather than relying on textual shortcuts.

HIPIF: Hierarchical Planning and Information Folding for Long-Horizon LLM Agent Learning

arXiv:2606. 10507v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities as autonomous agents across a wide range of tasks, their performance often degrades in multi-turn long-horizon agentic tasks.

The Arbiter Agent: Continually Monitoring Multi-Agent Conversations to Detect Emergent Misalignment

arXiv:2606. 10747v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI systems built from multiple language-model agents become more common, they are increasingly used to make decisions together: discussing, negotiating, and acting on shared tasks.

Mind the Gap: Can Frontier LLMs Pass a Standardized Office Proficiency Exam?

arXiv:2606. 10956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The deployment of Large Language Model (LLM) agents for computer automation is accelerating, yet their ability to navigate complex, professional-grade productivity software is largely untested.

Human-AI Coordination Zones: A Framework for Designing Human-in-the-Loop Experiences with Agentic AI

arXiv:2606. 09848v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As generative and agentic AI becomes embedded in everyday products, practitioners face a persistent challenge: how to design human-AI coordination -- the ongoing mutual adjustment between users and AI systems as mediate through interfaces-that supports usability, trust, and safety.

What Matters in Orchestrating Robot Policies: A Systematic Study of Hierarchical VLA Agents

arXiv:2606. 10267v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hierarchical vision-language-action (Hi-VLA) systems have emerged as a promising paradigm for complex robot manipulation, by using high-level VLM planners to decompose tasks into language subgoals executed by low-level VLA controllers.
