arXiv:2606. 03544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving language agents are typically evaluated in isolation: an agent attempts a task, receives feedback, and iteratively refines its own behavior.

arXiv:2606. 03461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stronger code agents are commonly assumed to be superior teachers for post-training, yet this assumption remains poorly disentangled from task difficulty, harness design, and student capacity.

arXiv:2509. 08726v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper focuses on the decentralized stochastic optimization problem $f(\mathbf{x})=\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^m f_i(\mathbf{x})$ over a connected network of $n$ agents, where each local function has the form of $f_i(\mathbf{x}) = {\mathbb E}\left[F(\mathbf{x};{\boldsymbol \xi}_i)\right]$ which satisfies the $(L_0,L_1)$-smooth condition but possibly nonconvex and each random variable ${\boldsymbol \xi}_i$ follows distribution ${\mathcal D}_i$.
