Inducing Reward
arXiv:2608.13564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating language-model agents at scale increasingly relies on a second language model as an automatic judge, because the gold signal, an executable environment reward, is expensive, slow, or unavailable at deployment time. Such a judge is a reward-free proxy whose value depends on whether it can be trusted, yet existing judges either hand-write the scoring rubric, as in G-Eval, or fine-tune the judge's weights, and both tend to credit fluent but unsuccessful trajectories as successes. We instead induce the text of an agent-judging rubric from a small set of ground-truth-labeled trajectories, grounding it in true outcomes. We present RubricForge, which evolves a judge rubric by reflective evolution against labeled trajectories to maximize agreement with thesource：arXiv
Depth
arXiv:2608.13565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures scale large language models (LLMs) while preserving computational efficiency through sparse activation. Despite their widespread adoption, the relative importance of individual MoE layers remains insufficiently characterized, particularly for model compression. This paper presents a systematic layer-wise sensitivity analysis of the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model (40 MoE layers, 256 experts per layer, top-8 routing) using magnitude-based expert masking on the XLCoST cross-lingual code translation benchmark. We conduct a multi-phase study spanning 100, 300, and 500 prompt evaluation scales across three H100 GPU servers. Our central finding is that layer sensitivity is strongly depth-dependent: early layers (0-9) and middle layers (10-29) are highly fragile to expert masking, while late layers (30-39), and especially very-late layers (35-39),source：arXiv
Modular Cognitive Architecture Emerges in Large Language Models
arXiv:2608.13567v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The human brain exhibits a striking degree of functional specialization, with distinct networks supporting language, formal reasoning, reasoning about other minds, and reasoning about the physical world. Is this modular organization a fundamental principle of how intelligent systems must be built, or an evolutionary accident specific to biological brains? Here, we test whether a similar organization emerges in Large Language Models–another class of intelligent systems created through a very different optimization process. Using circuit analyses across N=46 tasks spanning four cognitive domains (language, formal reasoning, social reasoning, physical reasoning), we find that LLMs develop a modular architecture that mirrors the human brain: tasks drawing on the same network in humans recruit overlapping neurons in LLMs,source：arXiv
