Even the best reasoning models hit an accuracy collapse beyond a certain problem complexity. Giving an LRM the exact solution algorithm doesn't fix it either. This new work, BIGMAS, improves LLM agents by taking inspiration from the human brain. BIGMAS outperforms both ReAct

Extracting Agent Skills from Open-Source Code Repositories
By
–
GitHub already has millions of repos full of procedural knowledge. The work introduces a framework for extracting agent skills directly from open-source repos. The pipeline analyzes repo structure, identifies procedural knowledge through dense retrieval, and translates it into

RL Fine-tuning Generalization Challenges for LLM Agents
By
–
New research on LLM Agent Generalization. RL fine-tuning makes agents strong in familiar environments, but it struggles to transfer across unseen ones. This paper systematically studies RL generalization for LLM agents across three axes: within-environment transfer across task

IBM Research Self-Improving Agents Framework Addresses Amnesia Problem
By
–
New research from IBM Research on Self-Improving Agents. Agents have "amnesia." An agent that struggles with a particular API authentication flow today will struggle with the same flow tomorrow unless manually updated. This paper introduces a framework for automatically

Online Reinforcement Learning for Agents: New Research Approach
By
–
Interesting new paper on online RL for agents. Most agent training still treats deployment and learning as separate phases. Serve the model first, collect data later, fine-tune offline. But every agent interaction already contains a learning signal. This paper introduces

Reasoning-Aware Retrieval Enhances Deep Research Agent Performance
By
–
Reasoning-Aware Retrieval for Deep Research Agents Deep research agents generate explicit reasoning before every search call. These reasoning traces encode rich signals about search intent and problem-solving context. Yet no existing retriever learns to exploit them
