Harness-1 is a 20B RL search agent that hands working memory to the environment, hitting 0.730 average curated recall and beating the next open subagent by +11.4 points.

SWE-Explore isolates the repo-exploration stage of coding agents over 848 issues. Agentic explorers crush BM25 (HitFile 0.65 vs 0.08), but line-level recall stalls at 0.15-0.20, and that gap is what limits repairs.

This survey reframes code not as a thing agents generate but as the executable substrate they run on, mapping 40-plus systems across three layers — interface, mechanisms, multi-agent scaling — plus seven open problems.
Multimodal Models · University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Crafter wraps an image model in five cooperating agents and scores 50.34 on PaperBanana-Bench vs 11.13 for the raw backbone — then CraftEditor turns the raster output into editable SVG you can actually fix.
Long Context · University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Ctx2Skill is a self-play framework that discovers natural-language skills from a long context with no human labels or external rewards, lifting GPT-4.1 from 11.1% to 16.5% and GPT-5.1 from 21.2% to 25.8% on CL-bench.
AI Agents · University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Eywa lets an LLM agent invoke domain models like Chronos and TabPFN through a learned interface instead of serializing data into text. On EywaBench it lifts utility from 0.6154 to 0.6558 while cutting ~30% tokens.
