⚡ Quick Summary

StraTA (Strategic Trajectory Abstraction) achieves 93.1% on ALFWorld and 84.2% on WebShop by introducing explicit trajectory-level strategy into agentic RL — a significant advance in long-horizon decision making for LLM agents.
KernelBench-X exposes critical failure modes in LLM-generated GPU kernels: 72% failure on Fusion tasks and 0% on Quantization tasks, revealing that task structure matters more than method design for code generation.
GeoStack uses geometric stacking of domain adapters to compose VLM experts without catastrophic forgetting, achieving constant-time O(1) inference regardless of the number of integrated expert modules.
Beyond Semantic Similarity shows that letting LLM agents interact directly with corpora via shell tools (grep, file reads) outperforms embedding-based retrieval on agentic multi-hop search benchmarks.
Prescriptive scaling laws challenge Chinchilla — aggressive weight decay (λ=1.0) reduces the overfitting coefficient by ~70%, providing a scaling-law basis for data-constrained training.
