Stable Agent Protocols and 18% Cheaper Loops
- Separating Control Flow From Prompts Delivers 100% Protocol Validity. Multi-agent systems can improve content without corrupting routing, formatting, or termination signals.
- Language Is Becoming The Control Layer For Video Worlds. H3-World controls characters, cameras, and time spans while training only 0.199% of its parameters.
- A Drone Can Reach Its Target And Still Fail. DroneCATS shows that termination, protocol compliance, and multi-view decisions also determine autonomy.
- Acting Like A Student Does Not Mean Simulating One Accurately. StudentSim separates behavioral fidelity from responsiveness to instruction.
- Looped Layers Save 6.8%–18.0% Of Training Compute Under Matched Budgets. SMELT offers a fairer test of shared layers and sparse experts.
Also Notable
- Bind Cross-Modal Evidence Into Event Memories Before Retrieval. EM²Mem organizes long-video memory around events instead of disconnected frames, subtitles, and summaries.
- Unified Understanding And Generation Do Not Automatically Help Each Other. This controlled study separates cooperation from capacity competition across representations, tasks, and systems.
- One Successful Safety Test Does Not Prove A Deployment Is Safer. The better question is how much harmful assistance an adaptive attacker can eventually obtain.
- Multi-Day Coding Agents Depend On Improvement Loops That Accumulate Without Regressing. Harness-of-Harness studies sustained autonomous planning, implementation, and testing.
- SAR-To-Optical Conversion Must Treat Codec Fidelity As A Design Variable. ReFlowSET improves SAR-to-EO generation through representation alignment.
- Persistent Agents Need Identity, Memory, And Code Outside The Current Runtime. This boundary preserves continuity across model, framework, and server changes.
- Cultural Fine-Tuning Can Raise Average Alignment Scores While Erasing Internal Differences. Evaluation should measure both cultural fit and diversity.
- Short-Drama Evaluation Should Track Errors Across The Full Production Chain. DramaChain Bench covers scripts, storyboards, keyframes, and final shot synthesis.
