Story

Agentic Code Reasoning has the model state explicit premises, trace concrete execution paths, and derive a formal conclusion instead of eyeballing correctness. It pushed patch-equivalence accuracy from 78% to 88% on curated cases and 93% on real agent-generated patches. Use it anywhere the answer must actually hold, not just look plausible. (arXiv)
