Anthropic Skill scanners passed every check. The malicious code rode in on a test file.

Warning of a new type of supply chain attack that may occur due to the Anthropic Skill scanner's failure to detect malware in test files.

  • Anthropic Skill scanner only scans `SKILL.md` files and ignores `.test.ts` files.
  • The test file is not part of the agent execution surface and is therefore not scanned by the scanner.
  • When installing with the `npx Skills add` command, a malicious `.test.ts` file may be copied to the repository.
  • Testing frameworks such as Jest, Vitest, and Mocha can execute malicious code.
  • In a CI/CD environment, sensitive information such as deployment tokens and cloud credentials can be accessed through `process.env`.
  • This attack vector is similar to the existing npm `postinstall` script exploit, but has greater spread because the skill directory is shared between teams.

CreativityBench: Evaluating Agent Creative Reasoning via Affordance-Based Tool Repurposing

We introduce CreativityBench, a new benchmark for evaluating the creative problem-solving ability of large-scale language models (LLMs), and explore affordance-based reasoning ability through tool recycling.

  • Creative problem solving in LLM, especially the ability to recycle the affordances and properties of tools, has not been well studied.
  • CreativityBench is a benchmark that evaluates the affordance-based creativity of LLM.
  • We built a large knowledge base (KB) containing 4,000 entities and more than 150,000 affordance annotations.
  • We evaluate the model's ability to find physically plausible non-normal solutions through 14,000 grounded operations.
  • State-of-the-art LLMs select plausible objects, but fail to identify the correct components, affordances, and physical mechanisms, resulting in significant performance degradation.
  • Model scaling saturates quickly, strong general inference capabilities do not lead to creative affordance discovery, and inference strategies such as Chain-of-Thought provide only limited benefits.

Stable Agentic Control: Tool-Mediated LLM Architecture for Autonomous Cyber Defense

We propose a reliable agent control architecture combining LLM agents and deterministic tools to meet the operational needs of security operations centers (SOCs) under adversarial pressure.

  • Existing LLM lack agents the formal assurance required for high-risk decision-making systems.
  • The proposed tool-mediated architecture allows the LLM agent to use deterministic tools (Stackelberg optimal response, Bayesian observer update, etc.).
  • We use complex Lyapunov functions machine-verified in Lean 4 to certify controllability, observability from asymmetric sensor data, and input-to-state stability (ISS) robustness under adversarial perturbations.
  • 282 actual enterprise attack graphs confirmed that the claims were valid.
  • The tool-mediated Claude Sonnet 4 controller reduced the attacker's expected gain by 59% compared to the deterministic greedy baseline and showed 0 variance over 40 runs.
  • The Claude Haiku 4.5 controller also converged to sub-optimal game values, but showed that the stability of the architecture does not depend on controller capabilities.

Programmatic Context Augmentation for LLM-based Symbolic Regression

To overcome the scalability and expressiveness limitations of LLM-based evolutionary exploration in symbolic regression (SR), we propose a new LLM-based evolutionary exploration framework that utilizes programmatic context augmentation.

  • Symbolic regression (SR) is the task of discovering a mathematical expression that best describes a dataset, and has limitations in scalability and expressivity.
  • Existing LLM-based SR approaches mainly rely on scalar evaluation metrics such as mean square error, overlooking the rich information inherent in the dataset.
  • The proposed framework integrates programmatic context augmentation to enable code-based interaction with datasets.
  • Through this, in addition to the aggregated evaluation scores, informative signals can be extracted and data analysis can be actively performed.
  • It shows outstanding efficiency and accuracy compared to strong baselines in advanced benchmarks such as LLM-SRBench.

Are you with me? A Framework for Detecting Mental Model Discrepancies in Task-Based Team Dialogues

We propose a framework for detecting and classifying mental model inconsistencies in task-based team conversations, and show that these inconsistency patterns can predict future mental model inconsistencies.

  • Informal updates between team members lead to mental model inconsistencies and negatively impact team performance.
  • Traditional shared mental model (SMM) evaluation methods have difficulty capturing real-time coordination dynamics.
  • The proposed framework identifies and classifies four types of mental model inconsistencies: unsupported beliefs, false beliefs, belief contradictions, and omissions.
  • By analyzing the conversations of 20 dyad teams on a collaborative object identification task, we demonstrate that these discrepancy patterns contain predictive signals.
  • It has differential predictability depending on the type of discrepancy, and the average of the number of past discrepancies achieves meaningful prediction accuracy.

Learning Correct Behavior from Examples: Validating Sequential Execution in Autonomous Agents

As autonomous agents become increasingly sophisticated, validating their sequential behavior presents a significant challenge. Traditional testing approaches require manual specification, exact sequence matching, or thousands of training examples.

  • We present a novel algorithm that automatically learns correct behavior from just 2-10 passing execution traces and validates new executions against this learned model.
  • The system constructs a generalized ground truth model using Prefix Tree Acceptors, merges traces through multi-tiered equivalence detection, and validates new executions via topological subsequence matching.
  • In controlled experiments, our system achieved high accuracy in detecting product bugs and false successes using only 3 training traces.
  • This approach provides explainable validation results with coverage metrics and works across diverse domains including UI testing, code generation, and robotic processes.

MP-ISMoE: Mixed-Precision Interactive Side Mixture-of-Experts for Efficient Transfer Learning

Mixed-Precision Interactive Side Mixture-of-Experts (MP-ISMoE) is a new framework proposed to solve the memory overhead of parameter-efficient transfer learning (PETL) and the performance degradation of memory-efficient transfer learning (METL).

  • PETL has a large memory overhead, and METL has the disadvantage of reduced performance.
  • MP-ISMoE presents a new framework to solve these problems.
  • Quantization errors are reduced by quantizing weights to lower bits through GNP-IQ (Gaussian Noise Perturbed Iterative Quantization).
  • Use Interactive Side Mixture-of-Experts (ISMoE) to scale side networks while maintaining overall memory efficiency.
  • ISMoE interacts with the salient features of the fixed backbone to select optimal experts, suppress knowledge forgetting, and improve performance.
  • We show that MP-ISMoE significantly improves accuracy over state-of-the-art METL approaches on a variety of vision-language and language-only tasks while maintaining similar parameter and memory efficiency.

Continual Distillation of Teachers from Different Domains

We propose a new paradigm called Continual Distillation (CD), which is a method in which a student model sequentially learns from teacher models in various domains without access to previous teacher models.

  • As the scale of deep learning models grows, storage space problems arise.
  • CD is a new paradigm that learns sequentially without access to the previous teacher model.
  • Two challenges of CD are the absence of teacher training data and the diverse expertise of teachers.
  • We show that Unseen Knowledge Transfer (UKT) is possible with external label-free data.
  • Sequential distillation results in Unseen Knowledge Forgetting (UKF), where the knowledge imparted is lost due to later learning from the teacher.
  • To strike a balance between UKT and UKF, we propose the Self External Data Distillation (SE2D) method, which preserves the logit for external data to stabilize learning between heterogeneous teachers.
  • Several benchmark experiments demonstrate that SE2D reduces UKF and improves cross-domain generalization performance.
  • Related code and implementation are publicly available on GitHub.

Free Energy-Driven Reinforcement Learning with Adaptive Advantage Shaping for Unsupervised Reasoning in LLMs

To improve the unsupervised inference ability of LLM, we introduce FREIA, a new RL-based algorithm that addresses the limitations of existing unsupervised RL-based methods, which do not adapt to the evolving inference ability of the model.

  • Unsupervised RL is a promising paradigm to enable self-improvement in LLM.
  • Existing unsupervised RL methods have the limitation of not being able to adapt to changes in the model's inference ability during training.
  • FREIA includes two key innovations: Free Energy-Driven Reward (FER), which balances consensus and exploration with rewards based on the Free Energy Principle, and Adaptive Advantage Shaping (AAS), which adaptively adjusts learning signals based on the statistical properties of sampled rewards.
  • In experiments on 9 datasets and 3 inference tasks, FREIA shows better performance than other unsupervised RL-based baselines.
  • In particular, in mathematical reasoning tasks, we achieve an average of 0.5 to 3.5 points higher performance in Pass@1 scores using the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B model.

Adapt to Thrive! Adaptive Power-Mean Policy Optimization for Improved LLM Reasoning

To improve the reasoning ability of LLM, we propose Adaptive Power-Mean Policy Optimization (APMPO), which overcomes the limitations of the static policy optimization method of existing RLVR (Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards)-based methods.

  • RLVR is an essential paradigm to improve the reasoning ability of LLM.
  • Existing RLVR methods rely on static policy optimization methods that do not match the evolving inference ability of the model.
  • APMPO includes two innovations: Power-Mean Policy Optimization (PMPO) and Feedback-Adaptive Clipping (FAC).
  • PMPO introduces a generalized power-mean objective, allowing adaptive switching from the signal-boosting behavior of the arithmetic mean to the consistency-enhancing behavior of the geometric mean.
  • FAC overcomes the limitations of static mechanisms by adaptively adjusting the clipping boundary based on real-time compensation statistics.
  • APMPO improves learning dynamics and inference performance.
  • Extensive experiments on nine datasets and three inference tasks show that APMPO outperforms the state-of-the-art RLVR-based baseline.
  • When using Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct in the mathematical reasoning benchmark, the average Pass@1 score improves by 3.0 points compared to GRPO.
