Are Online Skill and Memory Modules Always Worth Their Tokens? A Budget-Constrained Study of Web Agents

This study re-evaluates online augmentation modules for web agents under a fixed inference budget, finding that AWM, ASI, and ReasoningBank do not provide significant advantages over a token-matched vanilla baseline that uses the same budget for additional actor steps. The baseline matches or surpasses all augmentation methods in success rate while often using fewer total tokens. The effect extends to enterprise knowledge-work tasks, and run-to-run variance is highlighted as a crucial evaluation metric.

Simplifying the Modeling of Arbitrary Conditionals in Natural Language

Causal Transformers, while efficient for left-to-right decoding, struggle with arbitrary conditionals (e.g., text conditioned on both past and future tokens). The proposed AC-GPT introduces a simple modification to standard causal Transformers, enabling evaluation and sampling from arbitrary conditionals—including past, future, and mixed contexts—in a single forward pass. It preserves left-to-right ordering and next-token prediction, allowing fine-tuning of existing LLMs. Empirical results show it outperforms baselines on arbitrary conditional modeling without degrading standard performance.

Trust Between AI Agents: Measuring Formation, Breakage, and Recovery, with Implications for Governing Multi-Agent Systems

This research proposes a behavioral measure based on costly verification to quantify trust between AI agents. In a cooperative survival game, agents demonstrate trust by reducing verification of reliable teammates. Experiments with six frontier model snapshots show that larger models (e.g., Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-5.1) reduce verification by 60-85%, while smaller models show little adjustment. Trust recovery is slower than formation, and clustered failures prolong suspicion. Results suggest trust dispositions can be measured pre-deployment and governance should focus on calibration rather than maximal suspicion.
