3. Agentic ESOpt: Fine-Tuning Long-Horizon LLM Agents with Minimal GPU Requirements
arXiv:2608.17310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been promising in single-turn LLM fine-tuning. However, long-horizon agentic reasoning introduces increasingly branching interactions and sparse rewards, exposing several limitations of RL: its heavyweight backpropag...

5. Adversarial Review: Structured Disagreement for Grounded Agentic Code Review
arXiv:2608.18167v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early multi-agent LLM systems often used role-separated teams, yet scaling agent count yields diminishing returns on repository-level coding tasks. Recent alternatives treat agents as passive tools (subagents), yet this removes the benefits of agen...

6. OraclePhys: A Systematic Framework for LLM Fine-Tuning on Structural Mechanics
arXiv:2608.17162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What a language model internalizes from fine-tuning is usually diagnosed after the fact. We make it an experimental variable. OraclePhys is a systematic fine-tuning framework with three components: OraclePhys-Bench, an exactly-graded structural-mec...

7. TrojanGYM: A Detector-in-the-Loop LLM for Adaptive RTL Hardware Trojan Insertion
arXiv:2601.17178v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hardware Trojans (HTs) remain a critical threat because learning-based detectors often overfit to narrow trigger/payload patterns and small, stylized benchmarks. We introduce TrojanGYM, an agentic, LLM-driven framework that automatically ...

8. What Can Artificial Intelligence Learn from Medicine? Generative Analogies and Reliable Machine Learning Systems
arXiv:2608.18186v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In the past few years, machine learning (ML) has been widely (and to an extent, successfully) implemented in medicine. However, uncertainties surrounding ML have made it difficult to establish the bases of its epistemic and methodological warrant...
