From Verification Failures to Reusable Guidance for Coding Agents

The paper presents a method for turning expert diagnoses of verification failures into reusable guidance for coding agents. By combining executable language definitions in the K framework with a set of procedures for constructing specifications, repairing proofs, and auditing their adequacy, the authors achieve a 164/164 success rate on the HumanEval benchmark after two targeted repairs. They further demonstrate that audits can detect defects missed by successful proofs and evaluate the approach on KleverBench and Optimism proofs, highlighting both progress and remaining challenges.

Hermes: Learning Contextual Reasoning Unlocks Test-Time Scaling

Hermes introduces a family of harnesses that give models control over how they allocate and reuse context windows during inference, a capability termed contextual reasoning. The accompanying Hermes‑Learn framework trains models in two stages to develop these decision‑making skills, enabling them to scale performance with additional compute at test time. Experiments show that while large models naturally benefit, smaller open‑source models can close the performance gap through this training, with gains generalizing across benchmarks, extrapolating beyond trained compute, and transferring to other scaling methods.
