Harnesses for Inference-Time Alignment over Execution Trajectories

arXiv:2605.21516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Harness engineering has emerged as an important inference-time technique for large language model (LLM) agents, aiming to improve long-term performance through task decomposition and guided execution. However, more elaborate harnesses are not uniformly better: increasing…

HealthCraft: A Reinforcement Learning Safety Environment for Emergency Medicine

arXiv:2605.21496v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier language models are being deployed into clinical workflows faster than the infrastructure to evaluate them safely. Static medical-QA benchmarks miss the failure modes that matter in emergency medicine: trajectory-level safety collapse, tool misuse, and…

Corruption-Tolerant Asynchronous Q-Learning with Near-Optimal Rates

arXiv:2509.08933v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the problem of learning the optimal policy in a discounted, infinite-horizon reinforcement learning (RL) setting in the presence of adversarially corrupted rewards. To address this problem, we develop a novel robust variant of…
