Research Papers

SCAFFOLD-CEGIS: 43.7% of LLM Code Iteration Chains Have Security Regressions

Reveals the "iterative refinement paradox": as models iteratively improve code for functional correctness, security properties silently degrade. Introduces counterexample-guided synthesis to maintain security invariants. Directly relevant to anyone using AI code iteration workflows. arXiv 2603.08520

Agentic Critical Training: Why Actions Succeed

New training paradigm that teaches agents why actions succeed by contrasting successful against suboptimal alternatives. Treats action quality judgment as a first-class training objective rather than afterthought reflection. arXiv 2603.08706

SplitAgent: Privacy-Preserving Enterprise Agents

Addresses the fundamental privacy dilemma: cloud models need data access but enterprises can't share sensitive information. Splits execution between enterprise-side privacy agents and cloud-side capability agents. Directly relevant to AWS AgentCore and enterprise adoption. arXiv 2603.08221

ATLAS: 4B Model Matches Frontier on Agentic Tasks

Microsoft Research demonstrates a 4B parameter model matching frontier performance via rubric-based RL finetuning. Treats context acquisition and tool selection as learnable behaviors rather than stuffing tools into the prompt. Solves eager tool loading, error compounding, and sparse reward problems. arXiv 2603.06713

SlowBA: Efficiency Backdoor Attacks on GUI Agents

Novel attack class targeting agent efficiency not correctness. Triggers cause excessive reasoning steps, dramatically increasing latency without wrong outputs. Agent appears to work but becomes unusably slow. Extends security concerns to denial-of-service via computational waste. arXiv 2603.08316
