Experience Compression Spectrum: an architectural framework unifying memory, skills, and rules in LLM agents

Editorial illustration: a continuum of experience compression levels from raw episodes to distilled rules in an LLM agent

The Experience Compression Spectrum is a new architectural framework that positions memory, skills, and rules of LLM agents along a single axis of increasing compression — from episodic memory (5–20×) through procedural skills (50–500×) to declarative rules (1000×+). The analysis reveals that existing systems operate at fixed compression levels and that memory and skills do not communicate with each other.

WORC: strengthening the weakest agents in multi-agent systems achieves 82.2% accuracy on reasoning benchmarks

Editorial illustration: a chain of AI agents where the weakest link is strengthened with additional compute resources

WORC (Weak-Link Optimization for Reasoning and Collaboration) is a new framework that, instead of optimising the strongest agents, identifies and strengthens weak links in multi-agent LLM systems. Using meta-learning and swarm intelligence, it finds underperformers and allocates additional reasoning resources to them. The result: 82.2% average accuracy on reasoning benchmarks and improved stability across architectures.

AgentV-RL introduces a tool-augmented verifier with forward and backward agents — 4B model outperforms SOTA reward model by 25.2%

Editorial illustration: two AI verification agents — one looking forward, one looking backward — analysing a reasoning chain

AgentV-RL is a new framework for scaling reward modelling through an agentic verifier that uses multi-turn tool-augmented deliberation. Two complementary agents — forward (from premises to conclusion) and backward (from conclusion to premises) — validate reasoning. Through RL with proactive exploration, the 4B variant outperforms state-of-the-art outcome reward models by 25.2%.

ASMR-Bench: benchmark for sabotage detection in ML research shows Gemini 3.1 Pro AUROC 0.77 and only 42% fix rate

Editorial illustration: an auditor with a magnifying glass examining ML code where one component has been subtly altered

ASMR-Bench (Auditing for Sabotage in ML Research) is a new security benchmark comprising 9 ML research projects and their deliberately corrupted variants that produce misleading results. The best result — AUROC 0.77 and a top-1 fix rate of 42% — was achieved by Gemini 3.1 Pro, meaning even the best AI auditors fail to detect sabotage in more than half of cases. LLM-generated sabotages are weaker than human ones.
