MSP-LLM: A Structured Large Language Model Framework for Inorganic Material Synthesis Planning

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2602.07543v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Material synthesis planning (MSP) remains a fundamental and underexplored bottleneck in AI-driven materials discovery, as it requires not only identifying suitable precursor materials but also designing coherent sequences of synthesis operations to realize a target material. Although several AI-based approaches have been proposed to address isolated subtasks of MSP, a methodology for solving the entire MSP task has yet to be established. We propose MSP-LLM, a structured LLM-based framework that formulates MSP as a two-stage process composed of two constituent subproblems: precursor prediction (PP) and synthesis operation prediction (SOP). Our approach introduces a discrete material class as an intermediate decision variable that organizes both tasks into a chemically consistent decision chain. For SOP, we further incorporate hierarchical precursor types as synthesis-relevant inductive biases and employ precursor constraint factorization that preserves precursor-related information in the autoregressive decoding state. Extensive experiments show that MSP-LLM consistently outperforms existing methods on both PP and SOP, as well as on the MSP task, demonstrating an effective and scalable framework with practical potential for autonomous MSP.

Reimagining computational quantum research with AI scientists

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.02833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI scientists are expanding automated research across scientific domains, yet their ability to turn the scientific record into a foundation for autonomous discovery remains elusive. Here we uncover a fundamental barrier to this transition and demonstrate a route to overcome it in computational quantum science, where advances shape both what we can learn from complex quantum systems and what quantum computing can ultimately deliver. To identify this barrier, we introduce OmniQ, an expert-audited virtual research environment that converts published studies into executable reproduction tasks. Across 59 papers spanning classical simulation, quantum algorithms and quantum-property characterization, we systematically evaluate five agentic systems powered by large language models and six third-party agent harnesses. Our findings reveal that current AI scientists often fail to reproduce published results, exposing a fundamental mismatch between what scientific papers communicate and what autonomous agents require. By contrast, human expert intervention can turn these failures into successful reproductions, showing that the missing information can be identified and converted into reusable research experience. Guided by this observation, we develop Residual Agents (RA), a quantum-tailored self-improving AI scientist that distils externally verified workflow repairs into such experience. RA substantially improves research performance under fixed base models and limited adaptation budgets. For example, RA raises DeepSeek V4.1 Flash performance from 68% to 85%, matching Claude Code with Opus 5 at a third of its cost despite using a weaker base model. We integrate all reproduced results into an extensible platform built on the model context protocol, making verified research workflows directly accessible to AI scientists and allowing new scientific papers to be continuously incorporated.

Beyond Prompt Injection: The Tool Update Gap in LLM Agent Security

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.01976v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model based agents increasingly rely on external tools to invoke services and interact with web resources. These tools can evolve through software updates, yet agentic frameworks may continue trusting them without re-verifying their safety after implementation changes. This tool update gap creates a supply-chain vulnerability in agentic systems: because updated tool code executes outside the LLM's context window, malicious functionality embedded in tool updates can bypass defenses centered on model-visible interactions, leaving agents exposed to stealthy, persistent threats that existing in-context defenses can hardly address. To thoroughly investigate this threat, we introduce ETUDE (Exploiting Tool Updates for Direct Execution), an attack that embeds malicious functionality into updates of initially benign tools to produce compromised tools, while preserving their legitimate tool functionality. Unlike prompt-based attacks, ETUDE operates entirely outside the LLM's context and requires no adversarial instructions, thereby bypassing defenses restricted to model-visible content. We evaluate ETUDE across three representative attack workloads and seven widely used commercial and open-source agentic frameworks, including Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and Claude Code. The results show that ETUDE achieves a 97.6% ASR while maintaining a 95.9% legitimate task completion rate. We further examine existing defenses and find that they provide insufficient protection against this threat. These findings expose a fundamental blind spot in current agent security practices: trust established for a tool does not necessarily remain valid after its implementation updates.

Toward Bounding Coding-Agent Autonomy in Software Maintenance: A Pilot Study of Boundary Contracts

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.01265v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As coding agents gain greater autonomy to modify software repositories, relevant context alone does not define their operational authority. An artifact may be relevant to a maintenance task while being inappropriate to edit; conversely, another artifact may be required even when it is not explicitly mentioned in the request. We explore Boundary Contracts, a machine-readable abstraction that makes task-specific artifact roles (editable, inspect-only, required, and protected) explicit before repository modification begins. We conduct a pilot study on 40 maintenance tasks from a real enterprise repository, comparing the same Codex-based coding agent with and without Boundary Contract information. The boundary-informed condition improves macro edit-selection F1 from 0.440 to 0.682, required-behavior coverage from 0.429 to 0.673, and the number of strictly acceptable patches from 9 of 40 to 18 of 40. To probe whether these gains are explained only by improved file localization, we additionally analyze 21 tasks in which both conditions modify at least one identical file. Differences remain in edit selectivity and patch outcomes, providing initial evidence that explicit artifact roles may influence maintenance behavior beyond localization alone. This pilot does not establish the general effectiveness of Boundary Contracts. Rather, it provides initial evidence for a broader research question: how should the operational boundaries of coding agents be generated, validated, revised, and ultimately enforced as repository-level maintenance becomes increasingly autonomous?

Optimize the Harness, Not the Model: Fitting a Minimal Agent to a Self-Hostable LLM for Investigative Analysis

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.03434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Government intelligence teams need LLM agents that can analyze large, messy evidence collections, but security and cost constraints often rule out hosted frontier models and broad, hard-to-audit tool surfaces. We report CLEO: Constrained Loop for Environment Optimization, a method for fitting a minimal agent harness to a fixed, self-hostable LLM. Given an expert-validated dataset, CLEO admits only the tools, guardrails, memory policies, and loop components that improve accuracy while remaining general and auditable. On our held-out dataset, the CLEO harness reaches an 83.8% pass rate, within 1.2 points of the strongest out-of-the-box Claude Code SDK baseline, while being two orders of magnitude smaller.

Can We Stop the Backtest Yet? Anytime-Valid Promotion Tests for Adaptive Financial Research Agents

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.03384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial research agents can generate and monitor trading rules faster than a human can document the resulting selection process. Candidates appear at data-dependent times, weak rules are abandoned, and promising ones are watched until they cross a reporting threshold. We introduce PROMOTE, a protocol that assigns every candidate predictable testing wealth at birth and accumulates a cost-aware e-process only from subsequent returns. If lifetime allocations sum to at most one, a weighted Ville argument bounds the probability of ever promoting a rule whose declared bounded net score has always had nonpositive conditional mean. The result permits dependent candidates, adaptive births, and indefinite monitoring. We audit the implementation in two settings. A retrospective pseudo-out-of-sample replay contains 24 panel--rule hypotheses, 3,000 shared-sign null paths, injected alternatives, and public ETF and industry data. Repeated unadjusted tests produce a family crossing in 94.5% of null paths, versus 0.0% for PROMOTE; at a 15-bp aligned ETF-component perturbation, PROMOTE has 70.1% target power and median crossing session 2,327. A separate exact mean-zero experiment lets an agent select candidate identities and birth times from past scores; the funded gate has 1.77% false-family crossings across 3,000 programs. The market replay produces zero promotions after costs. The certificate controls historical false promotion under the declared null; it is not a certificate that an earlier edge remains profitable at deployment. AI-use disclosure. Generative AI tools, including OpenAI Codex, assisted manuscript preparation. For this preprint version, Codex assisted with LaTeX editing, author and venue metadata, compilation, and layout checks.

CoworkOS:Scaling Agent Coworkers for Real-world Automation

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.03178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rapid advances in cowork agents are shifting human-AI collaboration toward real-world automation, delivering software, designs, and other artifacts. However, such productivity work demands both high-quality delivery on complex productivity tasks and continued monitoring and decision-making over long horizons, a combination that remains an open challenge. We introduce CoworkOS, a general-purpose harness for long-horizon work that separates task strategy from execution management: the model decides actions, delegation, and acceptance, while the runtime maintains state and feedback. Its three-layer architecture enables direct execution or delegation to Subagents, synchronously or asynchronously, under stable responsibilities. Through a shared application layer, humans and agents inspect and revise the same evolving documents, presentations, CAD models, and Blender scenes, so human-in-the-loop participation can enter both through conversation and through direct modification of the work itself. To sustain continuity across agents and sessions, CoworkOS further introduces hierarchical workspaces and persistent semantic memory, so working files, key decisions, and long-running Job logs remain shareable, reusable, and resumable after interruption. Across 12 benchmarks and 6 categories of real-world applications, CoworkOS proves highly competitive with frontier agent applications such as Codex and DeepSeek Harness. As a sustained-work case study, CoworkOS uses GLM-5.3 as its backbone to conduct RSI-driven automated post-training on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. Over five rounds, the model's average score across eight benchmarks rose from 33.19 to 42.95 (+9.76). Looking ahead, we believe CoworkOS opens a meaningful path toward general cowork-agent intelligence.

TLAPS-Bench: Formally Proving Correctness of Real-World System Specifications with TLA+ Proof System

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.02849v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: TLAPS-Bench is a benchmark and execution harness for constructing machine-checked proofs for real-world system specifications in TLA+ with agentic AI. Proving correctness of complex system specifications requires discovering inductive invariants, reasoning about intricate state transitions, and decomposing proofs into tractable obligations. TLAPS-Bench provides a proof harness that supports iterative proof development atop the TLA+ Proof System (TLAPS), where agents are equipped with proof tools and libraries, with safeguards against reward hacking. Using the harness, we have employed AI agents to prove desired properties for important system specifications that were not proved before, spanning cache coherence, Byzantine consensus, and write-ahead logs. TLAPS-Bench contains 265 proof targets (each encodes a property to prove) from 95 TLA+ specifications of real-world systems. We evaluated frontier AI agents, represented by Codex with GPT models, on a subset of 70 proof targets across 12 specifications. The highest-scoring model, GPT-6.1 Sol (max), proved 31 (44.3%) proof targets. The results show challenges and opportunities in end-to-end proof development.

Parametric CAD Bench v3: Evaluating Agentic Parametric CAD Authoring from Text and Engineering Drawings

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.02659v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Producing an executable CAD script is not sufficient to establish that an agent has satisfied an engineering design request. Evaluation must also consider the resulting geometry, specified dimensions, and native CAD modeling history. We present Parametric CAD Bench v3, a 100-task benchmark comprising 30 text-to-CAD creation tasks, 30 text-to-CAD create-and-edit tasks, and 40 tasks that reconstruct mechanical parts from engineering drawings. Agents operate in a pinned FreeCAD environment and submit native CAD artifacts to a separate programmatic verifier. The primary metric is mean continuous task reward, combining geometry similarity and specification consistency rather than binary task success. A September 24, 2026 snapshot covers 13 model-agent systems; Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5 achieves the highest overall point estimate, 61.03%, and an image-to-CAD mean reward of 84.66%. These measurements describe complete systems, not isolated model capabilities. We release versioned tasks, evaluation configurations, and inspectable result artifacts.

Skill++: Towards Lifelong Agents via Routing-Aware Skill Refinement

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.00544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents extend their capabilities with skills, each with a name, a description, and a body. Under progressive disclosure, an LLM router selects skills by name and description alone and loads only the selected bodies. Skill libraries grow continually as users and agents add new skills. Because the router relies on this metadata, a similar new skill can displace an earlier one, breaking previously correct routing even though the earlier skill and the router are unchanged. This routing interference is aggravated for public skills, whose descriptions may not match their bodies. We formulate the problem as lifelong skill routing, a class-incremental continual learning problem. A solution must keep earlier skills selectable without suppressing new ones. Existing approaches fall short, since continually retraining the router risks catastrophic forgetting and rewriting methods either ignore similar skills or require per-skill feedback. We therefore propose Skill++, which rewrites only the name and description of each incoming skill, without router training or labeled data. The new description states what the body supports, how the skill differs from its closest predecessor, and what related work it excludes. As a library grows to 731 skills over ten sessions, Skill++ selects all required skills for 76.3% of queries, versus 36.4% under the original metadata. Across three benchmarks and five LLM routers, it outperforms all compared approaches, and its gains carry over to the Codex CLI agent harness.

Exo: An Architecture for Self-Improving Systems at Runtime

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.00463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent harnesses govern how language models act in an environment; designing their policies by hand is difficult, while automated techniques require representative datasets and costly executions. We present Exo, an agent runtime architecture for safe learning during ongoing work that collapses the optimization loop into task execution, allowing agents to revise both their harness and their strategies for further improvement. A minimal protected mechanism layer preserves execution history and governs policy activation while the harness evolves through inspectable code changes. On long-running objectives in an open-world game, Exo reduces model cost by 12-53% relative to Codex and Pi in standalone runs and 45-82% in transfer runs, while matching task completion rates. Compared with the same starting policy without the ability to edit policy, Exo reduces held-out model cost by 35-61% on AppWorld and SREGym with comparable correctness, cutting AppWorld's mean task time by 13% and SREGym's median diagnosis time by 35%. On Continual Learning Bench coding tasks, model cost including learning falls by 14%, with both policies resolving every issue.

Decentralized Multi-Agent Coordination and Communication in Shared Codebases

arXiv cs.AIarXiv:2611.00314v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding agents working in shared repositories may receive separate, independently-motivated requests from human developers, creating a setting that is multi-agent by necessity. When this scenario happens, their individual implementations may work separately but conflict when combined. To study this setting, we introduce ParallACT, a benchmark of orchestrator-free multi-agent coding tasks. ParallACT contains both complementary and contradictory tasks. In complementary tasks, each agent's task is separately useful and implementations must share an interface to be productively combined. In contradictory pairs, both agents' tasks require editing the same code in incompatible ways, and naively combining independent solutions fails to produce a useful implementation. We compare a single-agent oracle given the combined set of tasks against multi-agent settings that vary execution order, visibility, awareness of other agents, and access to a communication channel. We find that the oracle solves most tasks while parallel agents perform substantially worse. Their performance drop is notable for complementary tasks, and particularly sharp for contradictory tasks (e.g., from 62% to 16% for Claude Code with Claude Opus 4.8) where merged code typically satisfies only one specification, and the same gap appears in all six further configurations pairing two agent harnesses with three open-weight models. Simply telling an agent that a peer exists does not help significantly, and giving agents access to a communication channel recovers only a small part of the performance, at an additional token cost. ParallACT thus identifies and isolates a core challenge that will become more common as multi-agent coding by independent principals becomes standard, and provides a controlled test of which coordination strategies help, and at what cost.

OpenAI Introduces Pando: A Git Backend That Cuts Median Push Latency ~80%

MarkTechPost

OpenAI has introduced Pando, a new Git backend that now serves all development in its monorepo. The OpenAI Pando Git backend keeps the standard Git client and protocol. Engineers and Codex agents still run git push and git fetch as before. Only the server changed. OpenAI team reports median push latency fell nearly 80%. Pando now delivers nearly a petabyte of Git data per day.

TL;DR

Scale: Nearly 1 PB of Git data per day; peak above 57 TB in 1 hour.
Runs on: Commodity hardware; standard cloud VMs saturate 10 Gbps links on clone and fetch.
Performance: Thousands of concurrent pushers without degradation, per OpenAI’s own testing.
Best: Median push latency down nearly 80% (about 5x).
Worst: Not open source; repeat branch pushes resend non-trunk history (p99 pack under 3 MiB).

What is OpenAI Pando?

Pando is a Git-compatible server backend from OpenAI that scales concurrent pushes and fetches for a monorepo. It was written in Rust and reached production in 10 weeks. One engineer designed the core and teams of Codex agents implemented it. It has served production traffic since April 2026.

Why did OpenAI need a new Git backend?

Codex multiplied parallel work. OpenAI’s commit chart shows commits landed on master up 1,378% in Q3 2026 versus Q1 2024. Its Q4 2026 estimate is +2,442%. Each push now triggers many CI fetches. By late 2025, fetches and pushes slowed, merges failed, and reliability at times fell below 90%. OpenAI concluded the bottleneck was how it served Git, not Git itself.

How does Pando work?

Pando drops 2 assumptions that most Git servers treat as requirements:

1. Repository-wide consistency: Conventional servers order every ref update repo-wide, so unrelated pushes wait. Pando uses causal consistency instead. Each branch is serialized on its own, and clients only conflict when pushing the same ref. The tradeoff: a reader viewing several branches may see them at different points in time.

2. A unique packfile per client: Standard servers build a fresh pack per fetch. Pando stores each pushed pack as an immutable blob. A “ref version” goes into a scalable metadata store. A push needs O(1) metadata reads and writes. A fetch needs O(log Δ) reads, where Δ is the ref-version gap to close.

How are pushes kept small and reusable?

With millions of branches, a full ref advertisement can exceed 100 MiB. Pando advertises only the trunk branch as the base for new feature-branch pushes. Any reader with trunk history can then fetch that branch from 1 stored pack. In OpenAI’s monorepo, the median pack was under 20 KiB.

How are fetches served at line rate?

Pando returns download links via packfile-uri, an existing Git protocol feature. It sends an empty inline pack. A delivery service called Express caches packs regionally, using consistent hashing, with hit rates above 99%.

What replaces garbage collection?

Each push creates an “L0” pack. Background workers group packs into geometrically larger covers, similar to LSM-tree compaction. The monorepo currently uses covers up to L4. Covers act as a skip list, so pack selection runs in logarithmic time.

What are the production numbers?

All figures below are self-reported by OpenAI.

Median push latency reduced by nearly 80%.
Nearly 1 PB of Git data per day, using only a handful of CPU cores.
Over 57 TB of packs served in a single hour, more than 99% from local disk cache.
Clones and fetches saturate 10 Gbps links on standard cloud VMs.

OpenAI also ran a 1,000-writer simulation against 3-phase-commit and write-ahead-log designs. It labels these teaching models, not benchmarks.

How does Pando compare with other approaches?

	OpenAI Pando	GitHub Spokes	Anthropic Scion
Git client compatible	Yes	Yes	No, own `scn` client
Write coordination	Per-branch, causal consistency	Three-phase commit with quorum	Server-side commits; refs via compare-and-swap
Default replicas	Not disclosed (blob + metadata stores)	5 full copies	No fully materialized repo copy
Read path	Reused packs via packfile-uri, Express cache	Closest in-sync replica	Tiered tree/blob caches
Cache hit rate	Over 99%	Not disclosed	Over 99% per tier
Headline result	Median push latency down ~80%	Serves ~1 billion repositories	200x smaller CPU/memory footprint
Build effort	10 weeks, Rust	Not disclosed	7 people, 5 months
Available to others	No	Yes, powers GitHub	No

How was Pando built and deployed?

OpenAI wrote a Git conformance suite for agents and added deterministic simulation testing. Agents using GPT-6 Astra wrote Lean and TLA+ specs to find bugs.

Pando first ran as a read- and write-through proxy, so traffic moved without downtime. OpenAI ships its own Git build to developer machines and the ChatGPT desktop app.

It’s not just Sam Altman: AI will ruin PC gaming in ways you don’t expect

PCWorld

Good lord, it’s been a bad week for gaming. You don’t need to be a news hound or a Nostradamus to see where the problems are coming from: AI. From hardware to software to platforms to funding, “AI” is causing nothing but headaches for most gamers, and anyone else connected to the industry.

Welcome to the Boost Mode newsletter. Every week I share my insights on PC gaming, desktop setups, and hardware optimization. I also track down some of the most interesting PC and nerd news from around the web, plus a PC game pick you might not have seen elsewhere. Want this newsletter to come directly to your inbox? Sign up on our website!

The billionaires want your RAM

Over a couple of cheeky pints with a fellow CEO, ChatGPT’s chief Sam Altman said the quiet part out loud: Your computer’s RAM would be far better utilized in one of OpenAI’s data centers. He was talking specifically about running AI models — which is possible to do on local hardware, especially on newer designs like Nvidia’s RTX Spark chips — but the sentiment follows for gaming PCs and consoles, too.

From Altman’s perspective as a billionaire profiting off the AI boom, yeah, of course all that hardware would be better in his hands, rented back to corporations and consumers one token at a time. The sentiment comes off as unimaginably elitist, even if it makes cold, robotic sense for pure allocation. One of the richest people on the planet thinks he should have powerful hardware, not you.

Sam Altman and John Collison sitting in a bar booth.

Cheeky Pint

And that sure seems to be the way the market is trending, with RAM in laptops and phones going backward for the first time in recent memory, even as every new device crows about AI capability. Remember that big push Microsoft had for “Copilot+” laptops that met a minimum spec, a minimum that its latest (and still very expensive) Surface devices can’t even meet?

It’s kind of ironic that Microsoft is having so much trouble with its Xbox platform. The cheapest Xbox is now $500, and the next-gen “Helix” model is projected to cost $1,200 to $1,800 to produce. Microsoft has been struggling to keep Xbox competitive for over a decade, but it’s hard to feel bad for the company that’s also pushing AI in every one of its products, so much that it had to apologize to Windows users.

Pity Sony and Nintendo, at least theoretically, as their price increases are beyond their control. Pity Framework and Valve for trying to make cool hardware at the worst time imaginable. But don’t shed a tear for Microsoft — it has sewn the wind.

AI slop floods the game platforms

CEOs being out-of-touch elitists isn’t new (here I’ll mention Epic CEO Tim Sweeney for a very specific reason), and we’ve been dealing with a nightmare of hardware prices for a year or so. But Steam’s recent Next Fest event highlighted how the AI problem is affecting the software side, too.

Next Fest has become a calendar event for gamers, a time when developers and publishers release demos for their exciting upcoming titles. But this year, with Steam absolutely infested with AI slop, things felt a little different. Though there was plenty of new stuff to try for PC gamers. But some developers are now wary of publishing demos, for fear that their games will be used as templates for vibe-coded copycats.

The fears are not unfounded. While shovelware and clones have always been a part of the gaming market, being able to point an LLM at an existing game is a new problem. It’s not as if you’re just slapping the cover into a Xerox machine and getting an instant, perfect copy…but it’s not so far removed from that, either. Fraudulent copies of games have already appeared on Steam and other platforms, and developers have been sent extortion messages threatening to use AI to copy their games if they don’t pay up. The problem is so widespread that Anthropic added more stringent, game-specific copyright protections to its Claude LLM.

I didn't filter, this is just "recently added"
— Kenney (@kenney.nl) 2026-11-01T09:36:34.926Z

Steam has moderation tools to stop outright fraud and intentional customer confusion. And Steam, more than other platforms, has at least made token attempts to inform players when generative AI is being used. But Valve has stopped short of allowing end users to filter out projects that are partly or mostly built with generative AI.

Valve is either unwilling or unable to be the slop police. It’s trying to walk a fine line between quality control and developer freedom. On one side, you get a walled garden that’s inaccessi
