Loophole: Adversarial Agents To Stress Test Your Morality — Brendan Rappazzo, Morgan Stanley
AI Engineer · 2026-09-14

Loophole turns a natural-language policy into rules, then uses adversarial agents to find forbidden allowances and wrongful refusals. It is a useful pattern for testing agent constitutions.

Tokens Should Have Jobs — Katelyn Lesse & Angela Jiang, Anthropic
AI Engineer · 2026-09-14

On Anthropic's financial-analysis bench, assigning tokens to adviser, grader, or memory roles beat pure execution at a fixed budget. Agent topology may matter as much as token count.

The Spatial Harness: Bringing Agents to the Canvas — Max Drake, tldraw
AI Engineer · 2026-09-10

A spatial agent harness can make parallel work, dependencies, and ownership visible on a shared canvas. Bridging that canvas to coding tools lets its nodes perform real work beyond drawing.

Beyond the Lethal Trifecta: Agentic Commerce on the Open Internet — David Levine, Kiduna Club
AI Engineer · 2026-09-01

This talk proposes legally registered agent organizations, scoped JWT authority, and blockchain audit trails for open-internet commerce; it is an architecture proposal, not validation.

OntoAligner-Ensemble: Voting-Based Fusion across Heterogeneous Ontology Alignment Techniques
arXiv · 2026-08-31

A two-stage ensemble reconciles outputs from string, graph-embedding, and RAG-based ontology aligners. Composition matters: mixed paradigms favor precision, while LLM-only groups more often favor F1.

DIASENTINEL: An Auditable Multi-Agent System for Guideline-Grounded Diabetes Risk Screening
arXiv · 2026-08-31

DIASENTINEL combines deterministic extraction, guideline retrieval, risk prediction, and hybrid verification on-premise. It is a useful architecture reference for auditable agents handling sensitive data.

Tell the Robot What You Want — Sandhya Subramani, AWS
AI Engineer · 2026-08-29

An AWS demo treats a robot as an agent tool: an LLM selects existing hardware policies while separate agents handle thinking, communication, and voice. The live failures expose the safety gap.

From AI-Assisted to AI-Native: Building a Frontier Development Team — Clare Liguori, AWS
AI Engineer · 2026-08-28

Amazon’s pilot suggests coding-agent gains come from redesigning the workflow: prepare agent-readable context, fast local feedback, scoped specs, and parallel work instead of constant chat.

How AI Agents Let GTM Teams Scale — Justin Joyce, Cloudflare
AI Engineer · 2026-08-26

Handover of In-Context Learning State Across Session Boundaries
arXiv · 2026-08-14

Agent handoffs should preserve task-relevant predictive state, not blindly compress the transcript. The paper offers a three-part record for carrying decisions, evidence, and irreducible observations across sessions.

Split the Labor: Separating Evidence Interpretation from Decision Aggregation
arXiv · 2026-08-14

Multi-source agents should separate source interpretation from decision aggregation. A fixed evidence tuple plus calibrated likelihood pooling avoids vote thresholds that drift as more sources arrive.

Computer-use models will agentify the web, not APIs — Dhruv Batra, Yutori
AI Engineer · 2026-08-14

The long-tail web is unlikely to expose clean agent APIs. Browser agents need pixels as ground truth, with code and network access used opportunistically for speed rather than as universal substitutes.

Building a software factory for AI SDK
Vercel · 2026-08-12

Vercel’s AI SDK factory shows a practical scaling pattern: narrow agents produce evidence inside sandboxes while humans retain merge authority and review effort follows risk.

Multiplayer agentic engineering — Arjun Singh, Superconductor
AI Engineer · 2026-08-09

Superconductor’s team workflow keeps agent sessions visible across interfaces, runs them in isolated cloud environments, and benchmarks models on its own codebase before routing work.

Velocity Sickness: What Happens When Your Whole Team Gets 10x Faster — Matt Dailey, Ref.
AI Engineer · 2026-08-09

Faster code generation can overwhelm merge queues and scatter team attention. The talk proposes durable shared plans as agent state, shifting human effort toward decisions and prioritization.

Give every agent in Herdr its own Vercel Sandbox
Vercel · 2026-08-06

Herdr can place each terminal coding agent in a separate Vercel Sandbox, then return its work as an opt-in Git patch instead of letting remote edits touch the local checkout.

AV-AIVAT: 74x Cheaper Agent Evaluation with Certified Anytime-Valid Stopping in Imperfect-Information Games
arXiv · 2026-08-06

AV-AIVAT combines variance reduction with anytime-valid stopping, cutting the game samples needed to compare agents while preserving a recheckable confidence claim.

Benchmarking and Enhancing LLMs for Rule-Intensive Review of National Standard Documents
arXiv · 2026-08-06

A structured multi-agent reviewer closed part of the gap on rule-heavy documents, suggesting explicit taxonomies, specialized skills, and verification beat a single generic review pass.

The State of Model Routing — NVIDIA, Cognition, OpenRouter
AI Engineer · 2026-08-06

Model routing can cut agent costs only when delegation, escalation, and context transfer are designed together; duplicating context across models can erase the savings.

arXiv · 2026-07-30

PAIChecker finds PR–issue mismatch in 13.6% of SWE-bench Verified instances. Benchmark maintainers should validate that the issue, patch, and tests describe the same task before trusting agent scores.

Let's integrate AI Agents in Event-Sourced Systems — Divakar Kumar, FlyersSoft
AI Engineer · 2026-07-30

Add agents beside deterministic fraud systems, not in place of them: project cross-service events into a semantic layer, send only uncertain cases to specialist agents, then emit the verdict back into the saga.

The Physics of Multi-Turn Long-Horizon Planning: From Pre-training to Post-training via Single- and Multi-Teacher On-Policy Agentic Distillation
arXiv · 2026-07-27

Controlled experiments suggest long-horizon agent planning depends on explicit state transitions, some compositional trajectories, and compatible teacher patterns—not atomic skills alone.

The Future of Evals: From LLM as a Judge to Agent as a Judge — Aparna Dhinakaran, Arize AI
AI Engineer · 2026-07-24

Fixed-rubric judges miss failures that emerge across long, variable agent trajectories. Arize argues for adding agent-based analysis while retaining deterministic and LLM-judge evals.

Why We Killed Our Multi-Agent Pipeline — Subbiah Sethuraman and Abhilash Asokan, ZS Associates
AI Engineer · 2026-07-23

A fixed chain of specialist agents lost context and produced incoherent recommendations. The replacement separates deterministic detection, gives one agent end-to-end ownership, and uses subagents only for bounded investigations.

Agent swarms and the new model economics
Cursor · 2026-07-20

Cursor’s SQLite experiment suggests swarm harness design can matter more than model mix: separate planner and worker contexts reduced coordination churn while cheaper workers handled most tokens.

FormalAnalyticGeo: A Neural-Symbolic Based Framework for Multimodal Analytic Geometry Problem Generation
arXiv · 2026-07-14

FormalAnalyticGeo shows a reusable synthetic-data pipeline: agents generate problems, compile them into a formal representation, render exact diagrams, measure answers, and retry failed checks.

pacifio/atlas
GitHub

Atlas links agent sessions to commits and shares local project memory across Claude Code, Codex, and ACP agents. It makes agent provenance queryable, but macOS is the only supported platform.

Building a C compiler with a team of parallel Claudes

Sixteen parallel Opus 4.6 agents wrote a 100k-line Rust C compiler in two weeks (~$20k) that builds Linux 6.9 — the writeup credits test quality and context hygiene, not raw model capability.

Harness design for long-running application development

An Anthropic harness for multi-hour app builds pairs a generator agent with a Playwright-driven evaluator to counter self-grading bias — a $200, 6-hour run versus $9 solo, and it got simpler on Opus 4.6.

The Agentic Web and the Bazaar Era of AI - Ramesh Raskar, MIT Media Lab

Project Nanda proposes open discovery, identity and coordination layers for agents across vendors. Its local simulator lets builders test one protocol layer without building the entire network.

ogulcancelik/herdr

Terminal multiplexer for coding agents: a real terminal per agent across Claude Code, Codex, Copilot and 15+ others, with blocked/working/done state in a sidebar, persistent sessions, and a socket API.

What Does Done Even Mean? Agents and Paperclip's Liveness Model - Dotta, Paperclip

Model “done” as evidence, verification, authority, residual risk and next ownership—not an agent-set Boolean. This separates forward progress from approval in multi-agent workflows.
