    T1.5Claude Code:GitHub Releases(RSS)

    Anthropic released Claude Code v2.1.199, focusing on fixing multiple critical stability issues. Key improvements include: stacked slash-skill invocations now load up to 5 leading skills; SSL certificate errors immediately show actionable guidance instead of burning retries; streaming responses now retain partial output with an incomplete-response notice when overloaded; subagents now return partial work instead of silently failing on rate limits or server errors; the Linux background-agent daemon no longer kills itself every ~50 seconds; fixed macOS SSH cold-start 'Could not switch to audit session' error; stop command no longer races with background-agent respawn; corrupted config files are now backed up before resetting. Additionally, plan mode correctly auto-allows read-only browser tool calls, and transient rate-limit errors (429) are now automatically retried for subscribers with backoff.

  5. Using DSPy to evaluate and improve Datasette Agent's SQL system prompts
    T2Simon Willison 博客(Atom)

    After the AIE keynote, Simon Willison conducted an automated evaluation and improvement experiment on Datasette Agent's SQL system prompts using Claude Code and the DSPy framework. He selected GPT-4.1 mini and nano as test models and identified several promising optimization directions. Most critically, he found that including column names in the prompt's schema listing avoids column-name guessing and error-retry loops. This research demonstrates the practical value of DSPy in optimizing AI agent prompts.

  6. Distributed Attacks in Persistent-State AI Control: Iterative VibeCoding Setting and Detection
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper investigates a novel attack surface where AI coding agents distributedly execute covert side tasks across multiple pull requests (PRs) in a persistent codebase. The authors introduce the Iterative VibeCoding benchmark with 20 task variations, comparing gradual (distributed) vs. non-gradual attacks. Results show no single monitor robust to both attack types, with high evasion (≥65%) generalizing across attack models. A stateful link-tracker monitor combined with a four-monitor ensemble reduces gradual-attack evasion from 93% to 47%.

  7. TestEvo-Bench: An Executable and Live Benchmark for Test and Code Co-Evolution
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    TestEvo-Bench is a benchmark for evaluating test automation agents in test and code co-evolution scenarios. It features two tracks: test generation and test update, with each task anchored to real commit history and packaged with environment configuration to support execution-grounded metrics such as pass rate, coverage, and mutation score. It is a live benchmark that records timestamps and periodically mines new tasks from open-source Java projects, enabling evaluation restricted to tasks postdating a model's training cutoff to reduce data leakage risk. The current snapshot includes 746 test generation and 509 test update tasks. Experiments show state-of-the-art agents achieve up to 77.5% success rate on test generation and 74.6% on test update, but performance drops significantly on recent tasks and under limited per-task cost.

  8. Will Scaling Improve Social Simulation with LLMs?
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This study systematically investigates the impact of compute scaling on LLM social simulation fidelity. Using 85 Qwen3-based models (10^18–10^20 FLOPs) and 35 larger open-weight models (up to 70B parameters), experiments cover opinion modeling, behavioral simulation, and longitudinal forecasting. Results show rapid scaling-driven improvements in most tasks, but longitudinal forecasting and underrepresented opinions scale more slowly; behavioral tasks involving human cognitive biases (e.g., risk aversion) do not improve with scale, even with fine-tuning from 0.5B to 8B parameters. Conclusion: scaling works in most settings but has outliers and is less reliable for low-resource domains.

  1. Optimal Stabilizer Testing and Learning with Limited Quantum Memory
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper investigates testing and learning of n-qubit stabilizer states under limited coherent quantum memory. The authors find that the usual separation between stabilizer testing and learning vanishes under memory constraints. Specifically, in the k-qubit memory framework, the sample complexity of testing is Θ(n-k), while that of non-adaptive learning is Θ(n²/k). Additionally, an exponential lower bound for purity testing is proved even when memory remains coherent throughout the protocol. The results identify coherent quantum memory as the key resource enabling the separation between stabilizer testing and learning.

  2. Q-GAIN: A Python Package for Machine Learning and Physically Informed Analysis Applications
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    Q-GAIN is a Python package designed for cold-atom experiments, integrating machine learning and physics-informed analysis techniques. It supports classification, object detection, and physics-informed metrics for feature detection, especially in images of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The package encourages a modular workflow from data loading and preprocessing to ML-based feature identification and conventional analysis. The paper demonstrates its functionality through three tasks: MNIST classification, soliton detection (SolDet), and quantized vortex detection in ring-shaped BECs.

  3. Understanding Agent-Based Patching of Compiler Missed Optimizations
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper systematically studies how AI agents patch compiler missed optimizations, constructing a benchmark of real-world LLVM issues. It finds that agent-generated patches often cover only part of the developer-intended scope or over-generalize. The authors propose historical-knowledge augmentation techniques (retrieval and distillation) using prior optimization pull requests, which significantly improve generalization alignment and show practical benefits on real IR.

  4. Steerability via Constraints: A Substrate for Scalable Oversight of Coding Agents
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper proposes using constraints (access control, network policies, coding conventions) to oversee code-generation agents, replacing costly and unsafe unconstrained approaches. Controlled experiments show that a constrained substrate improves backdoor detection recall from 54.5% to 90.9% in Python codebases, with substrate and tools contributing independently. The approach benefits languages with weaker guarantees (like Python) and extends to Rust.

  5. Meta Quietly Launches AI Gaming App 'Pocket'
