AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.

Hypergraph-based Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Incremental Refinement

arXiv:2608. 16628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (M-RAG) systems are fundamentally limited by the binary connectivity paradigm of traditional simple graphs, which fails to capture the intricate, high-order correlations among heterogeneous entities, such as the N-ary relationships between a visual chart, its scattered textual descriptions, and underlying numerical data.

FabriMAE I Trust Myself? Self-Evaluating VLA Action Generation with Markov Attention Entropy

arXiv:2608. 16697v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) integrate visual perception, language instruction, and action generation into end-to-end policies across heterogeneous architectures.

SMOPD: Selective Token-Entropy Masking for Dirty-History Multi-Turn On-Policy Self-Distillation

arXiv:2608. 14647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dirty-history rollouts make multi-turn on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) brittle: once a student emits an erroneous intermediate reply, later turns are conditioned on that reply, and uniform distillation can spend loss on tokens that carry little corrective signal.

Cross-Modal Ultrasound-MRI Learning for Fetal Brain Ventricular Volumetry and Abnormality Screening

arXiv:2608. 14763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Assessment of ventriculomegaly (VM) on fetal brain ultrasound relies primarily on measuring lateral ventricular atrial width on standard planes, which is operator-dependent and may not fully reflect the overall ventricular enlargement.

Handoff-H1: An Orchestrated Vision-Agent System for Material Quantity Takeoff from Construction Blueprints

arXiv:2608. 15032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Converting a set of architectural blueprints into a complete material quantity takeoff requires visual perception across drawing sheets, dimensional and multi-hop reasoning, and grounding in construction conventions that the drawings never state.

From LLM Inference to Agentic Workloads: Characterization and Implications for Serving Systems

arXiv:2608. 15127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic applications are shifting AI serving from isolated model inference to long-running workloads in which LLMs coordinate tools, environments, and persistent state.
