Parthenon Law: A Self-Evolving Legal-Agent Framework

arXiv:2606. 04602v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As agents grow more capable, legal-domain LLM agents promise to turn document-heavy matters into reviewable work products -- yet reliable deployment faces three obstacles: no large-scale evidence on how today's strongest model-and-harness combinations behave on end-to-end legal matters; no agent architecture adapted to the legal vertical, only general-purpose harnesses; and, in a setting that keeps shifting with new facts, authorities, and deadlines, no mechanism for systems to learn from their own outcomes.

Deliberate Evolution: Agentic Reasoning for Sample-Efficient Symbolic Regression with LLMs

arXiv:2606. 04360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic regression (SR) discovers compact mathematical expressions from data, yet recent LLM-based evolutionary methods remain sample-inefficient because they rely mainly on scalar feedback such as MSE.

DAR: Deontic Reasoning with Agentic Harnesses

arXiv:2606. 05009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deontic reasoning is the task of answering questions by applying explicit rules and policies to case-specific facts, for example computing tax liability under a statute or determining the outcome of an immigration appeal.

AutoLab: Can Frontier Models Solve Long-Horizon Auto Research and Engineering Tasks?

arXiv:2606. 05080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific and engineering progress is fundamentally a long-horizon iterative process: proposing changes, running experiments, measuring outcomes, and continuously refining artifacts.
