BackendForge: Benchmarking Agentic End-to-End Code Generation with Backend Services

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in agentic coding settings, where they can inspect files, execute commands, run tests, observe failures, and iteratively revise code. This shift raises a central evaluation question: can an agentic LLM generate an end-to-end software artifact that is both deployable and behaviorally correct under execution?

To Answer or to Abstain: Mitigating Search-Agent Hallucinations via Abstention-Aware Reinforcement Learning

Recent advances in equipping Large Language Models (LLMs) with search tools and outcome-reward reinforcement learning (RL) have achieved new state-of-the-art results on open-domain QA tasks. However, we argue that current training paradigms harbor a critical vulnerability: they predominantly reward correct answers but fail to penalize fabricated ones when retrieval fails, thereby implicitly exacerbating hallucinations.

Large language model agents accelerate inverse design of metal-organic frameworks for gas separation

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a highly modular platform for adsorptive gas separation, yet their vast reticular design space makes inverse design difficult under simultaneous constraints of chemical validity, separation performance, and structural diversity. Here, we present LEMO Agent, a large-language-model agent framework for closed-loop inverse design of gas-separation MOFs in MOFid space.

Cross-Layer Misalignment Detection in Agent Skills: A Progressive Loading-Aware Contrastive Learning Approach

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly extended through Agent Skills, reusable artifacts that package natural-language metadata, procedural instructions, and execution-time resources for runtime use. As open-source skill marketplaces expand, users and agents increasingly rely on brief metadata to select third-party skills, making it difficult to detect inconsistencies between a skill's description and its true behavior, a problem we call cross-layer misalignment.

Towards Autonomous and Auditable Medical Imaging Model Development

Large language model (LLM) agents are beginning to automate machine learning engineering (MLE) by coupling planning, code execution, debugging, and empirical feedback. Translating this capability to medical imaging remains difficult because each task imposes modality-specific experimentation and strict requirements for validation protocols and prediction artifacts.

GRASP: GRanularity-Aware Search Policy for Agentic RAG

Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) extends static RAG by allowing language models to iteratively reason, generate search queries, retrieve evidence, and predict answers. However, it remains challenging for models to decide when to retrieve, whether to use lexical matching or semantic similarity, and how to control context granularity to prevent irrelevant tokens from interfering with agent reasoning.

An LLM-powered Agentic Recommendation System for Connected TV Content Discovery

Recommendation systems, from traditional multi-stage to recent unified generative architectures, face challenges in incorporating diverse contextual signals, such as trending topics, breaking news, cultural events, and cross-surface user activities, into their ranking pipelines. These systems are designed to consume structured behavioral signals with consistent schemas, and lack the reasoning capability to naturally process unstructured or heterogeneously formatted contextual information.

RouteRec: Strict Evaluation of Recommender-Agent Selection and Aggregation

Recommender systems increasingly face a choice among heterogeneous agents -- collaborative filters, sequential models, content-based retrievers, and LLM-based rerankers -- yet no single agent is uniformly best. We study this choice as task-aware agent ranking under cost constraints using RouteRec, a framework that compares request-level hard selection with item-level learned aggregation over four traditional recommender agents and one LLM reranker agent.

VEXAIoT: Autonomous IoT Vulnerability EXploitation using AI Agents

Internet of Things (IoT) systems are inherently vulnerable due to constrained hardware, outdated firmware, and insecure default configurations, creating a need for scalable and adaptive security testing approaches. While recent adoptions of Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated promise in penetration testing and Capture-the-Flag (CTF) environments, their application to IoT specific vulnerabilities remains unexplored.

MasFACT: Continual Multi-Agent Topology Learning via Geometry-Aware Posterior Transfer

arXiv:2605. 17361v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent systems (MAS) powered by large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for complex problem solving, where performance critically depends on the underlying inter-agent communication topology.

Game Theory Driven Multi-Agent Framework Mitigates Language Model Hallucination

arXiv:2607. 08403v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The application of lightweight Large Language Models in rule-based scientific domains remains severely limited by their tendency to mimic linguistic patterns rather than reproduce axiomatic reasoning, causing frequent hallucinations.

3100 Opinions on Code Review in an AI World: Building Causal Theory from Practitioner Discourse

arXiv:2607. 07980v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents now author entire pull requests, and practitioners sharply disagree about what this does to code review: whether it becomes the bottleneck, whether human review is still necessary, and whether it quietly erodes the understanding that it once built.
