MELD: A Protocol for Merging Knowledge Across Distributed Agentic Memories

arXiv:2608. 16357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agents share a transport and can call each other's tools, but they cannot share what they know: no protocol lets two agents' memories reconcile a fact phrased two ways, link related facts held apart, or reconcile contradictory knowledge without silently discarding either claim.

JailbreakSkill: Scaling Automated Red-Teaming with Reusable and Ever-Evolving Skills

arXiv:2608. 16465v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated red-teaming has produced a growing collection of attack strategies, yet they typically remain scattered across prompts and workflows, making them difficult to systematically integrate, reuse, and improve at scale.

A Low-Cost IoT Device for Environmental Monitoring and Embedded Solar Forecasting with On-Device Incremental Learning

arXiv:2608. 14698v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hyperlocal meteorological sensing is essential for accurate solar photovoltaic forecasting, yet professional-grade meteorological stations require investments easily exceeding 1000~USD per node, making distributed deployments economically inaccessible.

Measuring Obedience to Authority Across Large Language Models with the Milgram Paradigm

arXiv:2608. 16177v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents that operate equipment, execute instructions, and act inside institutional hierarchies, raising a question social psychology answered for humans six decades ago: how far will an agent escalate a harmful action when a legitimate authority insists?

ReasonCast: Agentic Demand Forecasting with Selective Semantic Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 15291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Demand forecasting increasingly requires combining two complementary sources of information: historical sales reveal recurring numerical dynamics, while future promotions, holidays, price changes, and platform interventions provide forward-looking knowledge.
