Cost-Effective Agent Harnesses for Abstract Reasoning and Generalization on ARC-AGI-1

arXiv:2607. 06764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress on ARC-AGI-1 from disclosed architectures has come broadly from two regimes: heavy test-time compute over frontier models (evolutionary search, exhaustive sampling, extended chain-of-thought), or benchmark-specific training in which small models are fine-tuned on ARC data, often with task-specialized architectures.

Robust Federated Learning Under Real-World Client Churn

arXiv:2607. 06979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables training shared models on private, on-device data, but production deployments remain constrained to slow, multi-day refresh cycles due to the complexity of coordinating massive client populations.

The Harness Effect: How Orchestration Design Sets the Token Economics of Enterprise Agentic AI

arXiv:2607. 06906v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI development today runs on token maxing: buying capability with tokens -- longer reasoning traces, more turns, wider tool payloads, bigger replayed contexts -- so tokens per task grow faster than task value.
