Agents-K1: Towards Agent-native Knowledge Orchestration

Current LLM-based research agents have advanced through agent orchestration, yet largely overlook scientific knowledge orchestration. Existing works often reduce papers to abstracts, surface mentions, and flat \texttt{cites} edges, omitting key entities, claims, evidence, mechanisms, and method lineages essential for scientific reasoning. To this end, we introduce \textbf{Agents-K1}, an end-to-end knowledge orchestration pipeline that converts raw documents into agent-native scientific knowledge graphs. Agents-K1 integrates three components under a unifying theoretical foundation: a multimodal parser whose five-module schema captures entities, multimodal evidence, citations, and typed inter-entity relations across the full paper rather than abstracts alone; a 4B information-extraction backbone trained with GRPO under a rule-based reward; and a graphanything CLI, a tri-source agent interface that unifies web search, multimodal graph retrieval, and cross-document traversal. On top of this, we process 2.46 million scientific papers across six subjects to produce \textbf{Scholar-KG}, of which we release a one-million-paper subset, and the full Scholar-KG is accessible via the SCP link below. The same pipeline can be extended to general-domain corpora and to schema-conformant data synthesis. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Agents-K1 achieves superior performance in scientific information extraction, knowledge graph construction, and multi-hop scientific reasoning.

GRAR: Glass-induced Reflection Artifact Removal in LiDAR Point Clouds

Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) point clouds captured in urban environments frequently suffer from glass-induced reflection artifacts, severely degrading downstream applications. Existing reflection artifact removal methods generally rely on ideal reflection symmetry assumptions, yet their performance is limited by inaccurate glass estimation and insufficient geometric representations. To address these issues, we propose a novel unified framework aimed at robust reflection artifact removal: In the first stage, we leverage a multi-modal vision foundation model to produce initial glass masks, which are then refined using geometric cues to achieve high-precision glass regions, followed by glass completion to recover missing regions caused by no-return measurements on transparent surfaces; In the second stage, we propose a physics-driven descriptor, termed Reflection-aware Local-Global Geometric Similarity (RE-LGGS), which is grounded in actual laser reflection geometry and jointly encodes multi-scale geometric structures and orientation consistency using PCA-based local shape representations, thereby significantly improving robustness against imperfect observations. Extensive experiments on multiple public TLS datasets demonstrate that our framework consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in reflection artifacts removal.

MLEvolve: A Self-Evolving Framework for Automated Machine Learning Algorithm Discovery

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly applied to long-horizon tasks such as scientific discovery and machine learning engineering (MLE), where sustained self-evolution becomes a key capability. However, existing MLE agents suffer from inter-branch information isolation, memoryless search, and lack of hierarchical control, which together hinder long-horizon optimization. We present MLEvolve, an LLM-based self-evolving multi-agent framework for end-to-end machine learning algorithm discovery. By extending tree search to Progressive MCGS, MLEvolve enables cross-branch information flow through graph-based reference edges and gradually shifts the search from broad exploration to focused exploitation with an entropy-inspired progressive schedule. To allow the agent to evolve with accumulated experience, we introduce Retrospective Memory, which combines a cold-start domain knowledge base with a dynamic global memory for task-specific experience retrieval and reuse. For stable long-horizon iteration, we further decouple strategic planning from code generation with adaptive coding modes. Evaluation on MLE-Bench shows that MLEvolve achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple dimensions including average medal rate and valid submission rate under a 12-hour budget (half the standard runtime). Moreover, MLEvolve also outperforms specialized algorithm discovery methods including AlphaEvolve on mathematical algorithm optimization tasks, demonstrating strong cross-domain generalization. Our code is available at https://github.com/InternScience/MLEvolve.

TSQAgent: Rating Time Series Data Quality via Dedicated Agentic Reasoning

Assessing the quality of time series (TS) data is fundamental yet inherently challenging due to the multifaceted nature of quality dimensions. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for TS quality assessment via pairwise comparison and per-dimension evaluation. However, existing approaches rely on manually predefined quality dimensions and purely text-based reasoning, leaving it unknown whether LLMs can identify truly relevant quality dimensions or perform grounded and quantitative quality comparisons. To investigate this, we construct TSQBench, a dedicated benchmark for evaluating LLMs on two progressive capabilities: (i) understanding and identifying relevant quality dimensions, and (ii) performing quality comparison under specific dimensions. Our analysis reveals that current LLMs consistently struggle with both dimension identification and evidence-grounded quality comparison. To address these limitations, we propose TSQAgent, a novel agentic reasoning framework for TS quality rating consisting of three collaborative roles: Perceiver for focused dimension selection, Inspector for dimension-wise quantitative analysis, and Adjudicator that aggregates and refines the final judgment. In particular, we introduce an agentic reasoning strategy that instills the ability to identify and prioritize the most relevant quality dimensions, and further propose an agent workflow equipped with external analytical tools to enable precise quantitative comparisons over selected dimensions. Experiments on both the proposed benchmark and eleven real-world datasets demonstrate that our framework not only substantially improves LLMs' capabilities in quality understanding and quantitative comparison but also effectively translates these improvements into better quality-aware data selection, leading to enhanced downstream performance and data efficiency.

SeClaw: Spec-Driven Security Task Synthesis for Evaluating Autonomous Agents

Autonomous LLM agents increasingly operate in stateful environments where they access tools, files, memory, and external services. While such capabilities enable complex real-world workflows, they also introduce security risks that are difficult to capture with existing evaluations. Current agent security benchmarks often rely on manually curated tasks, provide limited coverage of emerging threats, and focus primarily on final outcomes rather than the execution processes that lead to unsafe behavior. We introduce SeClaw, a framework that combines specification-driven security task synthesis with execution-based security evaluation for Autonomous agents. Spec-driven security task synthesis enables scalable and controllable construction of security tasks from structured risk specifications, while SeClaw docker provides a standardized testbed for evaluating agent behavior under diverse safety-risk scenarios. The benchmark covers risks arising from resources, user tasks, environments, and intrinsic agent behaviors, and supports trajectory-aware assessment of unsafe actions beyond final responses. By bridging systematic task synthesis and reproducible security evaluation, SeClaw provides a practical foundation for measuring, diagnosing, and comparing security failures in autonomous LLM agents. The code is available at https://github.com/seclaw-eval/seclaw-eval.

EvoRubric: Self-Evolving Rubric-Driven RL for Open-Ended Generation

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has significantly advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) in verifiable domains, but aligning models for open-ended generation remains profoundly challenging due to the lack of definitive rewards. Current rubric-based RL methods mitigate this by employing explicit criteria; however, they rely heavily on static, human-annotated rubrics that inevitably cause policy lag, or expensive external proprietary models for dynamic updates. In this paper, we propose EvoRubric, a novel single-policy co-evolutionary RL framework that eliminates the reliance on static criteria and on external rubric generators. By unifying response generation and rubric generation under a single parameterized policy, EvoRubric dynamically alternates between a Reasoner and a Rubric Generator. To prevent reward hacking and ensure the reliability of generated signals, we introduce a multi-level verification pipeline featuring a meta-verifier, zero-variance pruning, and a Leave-One-Out peer consensus mechanism. Validated criteria are dynamically archived into a memory pool, yielding dense, multi-objective rewards to continuously co-optimize both roles. Extensive experiments across Medical, Writing, and Science domains demonstrate that EvoRubric consistently outperforms traditional static and external-LLM-driven alignment methods. Notably, our framework is compatible with human-expert priors. When initialized with expert-annotated rubrics, EvoRubric can further uncover novel, discriminative dimensions, achieving better performance than relying solely on static expert annotations.

AgentSchool: An LLM-Powered Multi-Agent Simulation for Education

Despite the rapid deployment of LLMs into classrooms, validating educational AI remains uniquely intractable: interventions act on developing learners whose cognitive and social trajectories are irreversibly shaped, while real-world trials are slow, ethically constrained, and institutionally locked. LLM-based educational simulators have emerged as a potential remedy, but many still collapse learning into persona-conditioned role-play and, when optimized only to reproduce existing classrooms, can structurally penalize the institutional novelty that pedagogical reform requires. In this work, we introduce AgentSchool, an LLM-driven multi-agent simulator that models learning as state transition rather than prompted behavior. AgentSchool couples cognitively growable student agents -- equipped with weighted subject knowledge graphs, thinking-workflow pools, and explicit misconceptions -- with adaptive teacher agents that plan, scaffold, and reflect along the Zone of Proximal Development, embedded in a configurable scenery generator that situates instruction within both formal and informal learning fields, and a multi-scale simulator that decouples interaction scale, temporal granularity, and simulation duration. Experiments show that structured student agents produce more differentiated mastery and misconception traces than a baseline simulator, while teacher-agent comparisons show backbone-dependent patterns consistent with ZPD-informed adaptation. Further, AgentSchool generates plausible traces of peripheral participation, clique formation, aggressor-induced cohesion, and opinion-leader emergence consistent with classroom social theories. Beyond its role as an educational research instrument, AgentSchool frames education as a socially meaningful testbed for long-horizon memory, multi-agent coordination, and future institutional reasoning under organizational pressure.

AgentDoG 1.5: A Lightweight and Scalable Alignment Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security

Modern open-world agents such as OpenClaw exhibit powerful cross-environment execution capabilities yet introduce broad new safety risk sources. Meanwhile, advanced frontier AI models drastically lower attack barriers, rendering current agent alignment frameworks inadequate for real-world deployment. To tackle these emerging threats, we propose a lightweight and scalable agent safety alignment framework. Specifically, we update the agent safety taxonomy to accommodate emergent risks from Codex and OpenClaw execution scenarios. We further build a taxonomy-guided data engine with influence-function purification to train lightweight AgentDoG 1.5 variants (0.8B, 2B, 4B, and 8B parameters) using only around 1k samples, achieving comparable performance with leading closed-source models (e.g., GPT-5.4). Based on AgentDoG 1.5, we construct a highly efficient agentic safety SFT and RL training environment, which reduces deployment overhead in Docker-level environments by two orders of magnitude. Finally, we deploy AgentDoG 1.5 as a training-free online guardrail for real-time safety moderation. Extensive experimental results indicate that AgentDoG 1.5 achieves state-of-the-art performance in diverse and complex interactive agentic scenarios. All models and datasets are openly released.

DriveWAM: Video Generative Priors Enable Scalable World-Action Modeling for Autonomous Driving

Pretrained foundation models have become an important basis for end-to-end autonomous driving. In contrast to vision-language models pretrained primarily on static image-text pairs, video generative models capture temporal dynamics and motion priors that are naturally suited for driving. We present DriveWAM, a driving world-action model that adapts a pretrained video diffusion transformer into an autoregressive video-action policy. DriveWAM organizes video and action streams into a unified temporal token sequence and trains them under a joint flow-matching objective, preserving the pretrained video-generation architecture while adapting its large-scale video priors to action generation. To incorporate high-level scene understanding, we introduce scene-evolving driving guidance, where a frozen VLM produces chunk-specific semantic intent to guide video-action generation. To keep long-horizon rollout bounded, we further introduce selective KV memory, which maintains bounded modality-aware video and action memory pools through relevance-redundancy cache selection at inference time. Experiments on NAVSIM and the PhysicalAI-Autonomous-Vehicles benchmark show that DriveWAM achieves strong planning performance, and a data-scaling study from 4k to 100k driving clips further confirms the scaling potential of world-action modeling for end-to-end autonomous driving.

Regulating Anatomy-Aware Rewards via Trajectory-Integral Feedback for Volumetric Computed Tomography Analysis

Medical vision-language models (VLMs) have rapidly advanced as general-purpose multimodal assistants, yet their deployment in 3D Computed Tomography (CT) analysis remains constrained by a persistent mismatch between optimization objectives and clinical rigor. Current Reinforcement Learning (RL) paradigms still rely on lexical proxy signals that induce ``\textit{Evaluation Hallucinations}'', where models optimize linguistic fluency rather than factual clinical correctness, leading to diagnostically critical errors. To bridge this gap, we introduce the \textbf{Clinical Abnormality Benchmarking Substrate (CABS)}, a structured system that decomposes radiology reports into verifiable clinical semantic units. Using CABS, we identify a ``\textit{Mechanistic Divergence}'' in standard RL, where surface-similarity rewards drive policy gradients to bypass medical facts. We therefore propose \textbf{Trajectory-Integral Feedback GRPO (TIF-GRPO)}, a novel framework integrating control-theoretic principles into policy optimization. By formulating clinical reasoning as a pseudo-temporal trajectory for anomaly discovery, TIF-GRPO regulates anatomy-aware rewards via an integral feedback loop that penalizes persistent omissions as cumulative state errors and suppresses hallucinations as excessive control effort. Experiments on 3D CT benchmarks demonstrate that our approach significantly enhances abnormality detection and clinical faithfulness, establishing a new paradigm for fine-grained regulation in medical VLMs. Our project is available at \href{https://github.com/ZJU4HealthCare/TIF-GRPO}{GitHub}.
