As agents take on longer and more complex problems, controlling the execution becomes a task in its own right. Each step in the run brings new control choices, like which partial work to build on, whether to start fre... Context & related coverage →
CodeScene has published a case study in which coding agents refactored 300,000 lines of C over three weeks for roughly $4,000 in tokens, verified by a frame-by-frame replay harness. The agents built a playbook of code... Context & related coverage →
We evaluate several models on 100 tasks from the [internal Binary Exploitation benchmark] (selected at random), and find that GLM-5.3 develops full control flow hijacks in 4% of the trials; Claude Mythos Preview did s... Context & related coverage →
Agent harness bugs exhibit unique characteristics and remain challenging for state-of-the-art software agents to repair. Progress in this area is further hindered by existing benchmarks, which contain only a small and... Context & related coverage →
