Enabling agents to learn from experience and internalize it into their policy has become a central problem in self-evolving AI. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) offers an effective pathway by using a privileged self-teacher to provide dense supervision on the student's own trajectories; however, existing methods still rely heavily on designer-specified privileged artifacts (e.
The field of bioinformatics struggles with legacy code - old code that is commonly used but may no longer have a maintainer, or may be written in an now-unfamiliar language (e. g.
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models promise to bring end-to-end reasoning to autonomous driving, but their computational cost remains far too high for real-time control. The core challenge is structural: VLA inference is not a single bottleneck but a cascade of four.
Compositional reliability bounds for multi-agent systems multiply component reliabilities, a step licensed by a conditional-independence assumption that is routinely stated and rarely tested. We test it.
Autonomous driving requires planning under both semantic constraints and predictive dynamics. Existing end-to-end driving approaches, however, typically emphasize only one side of this requirement: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models exploit VLM priors for semantic reasoning, while World Action Models (WAMs) provide future-aware prediction through generative world modeling.

arXiv:2608. 11252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems routinely transport conclusions across biological, clinical and financial contexts, and the emerging safeguard is local verification: checking at each step that the entity is representable in the chosen tool, that parameters are compatible, and that outputs cohere with the plan.

arXiv:2608. 11241v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying LLM agents into industrial recommender operations exposes a three-way tension we frame as the autonomy-determinism-efficiency trilemma: general autonomy (interpreting operator intent, generating glue code zero-shot), industrial determinism (schema-conforming feature extraction, non-crashing A/B, zero compliance-path hallucination), and end-to-end efficiency.
