When Does Critique Improve AI-Assisted Theoretical Physics? SCALAR: Structured Critic--Actor Loop for Agentic Reasoning

arXiv:2605. 06772v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) show increasing promise on research-level physics reasoning tasks and agentic AI becomes more common, a practical question emerges: How does the interaction between researchers and agents affect the results?

Infra-Bayesian Reinforcement Learning Agents Outperform Classical RL For Worst-Case Robustness

arXiv:2605. 23146v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Classical reinforcement learning assumes the agent interacts with a fixed environment whose behavior does not depend on the agent's policy.

A Gateway Architecture for Enterprise MCP Authentication: Unifying Heterogeneous Auth, Identity Delegation, and the User / Non-User Persona Problem

arXiv:2608. 10760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the de-facto interface for connecting LLM agents to enterprise tools, and adoption has been explosive: within a year, large organizations went from zero to dozens of internally built MCP servers.
