None of it is in your agent's weights.

Decomposing world model evaluation into auditable evidence trees rather than scalar scores is the right move, and the human-alignment numbers back it up.
Most world model benchmarks hand you a number and nothing else. You cannot tell whether a model failed because it rendered the wrong object, ignored the physics of a collision, or simply drifted in style over a long…
A structured agent auditing tool that grades on business-alignment and governance, not just capability benchmarks, with an independent-judge architecture that keeps scores citable.
Most agent evaluation tools ask whether a model is fast, cheap, or resistant to prompt injection. iFixAi asks a different question: is the agent actually doing the job it was hired to do, according to the business rules…

Decomposing world model evaluation into auditable evidence trees rather than scalar scores is the right move, and the human-alignment numbers back it up.
A benchmark framework that uses hierarchical sub-agents to decompose world-model evaluations into verifiable reasoning chains with transparent evidence.
Learn What's Left, Not What's Mastered: Saturation Aware Advantage Reweighting for Multi-Reward Policy Optimization
A policy optimization method that standardizes multi-objective rewards and discounts saturated objectives to focus training on under-optimized goals.
LDM's core insight is that LLM research loops stall not from weak proposals but from the absence of a calibrated uncertainty signal to direct where to search next.
A recurrent Large Discovery Model pairs generative proposals with a Bayesian non-parametric reward surrogate, tested across molecules, proteins, and programs.
Collision-free spatial editing is the unsolved core of 3D world construction, and RL post-training only partially closes it.
RL training lets open-source multimodal agents plan and build 3D scenes end-to-end, outperforming closed-source frontier models on this benchmark.
MOSS-VL Technical Report
MOSS-VL is an open vision-language model family that cuts time-to-first-token latency for real-time streaming interaction via gated cross-attention.
A closed-loop data engine plus subtask-level demonstration learning closes most of the gap between open-weight GUI agents and frontier proprietary systems.
A foundation GUI agent that combines environment-grounded training with in-context demonstration learning to improve reliability on long-horizon office tasks.

Every pick in the Wire gets the same treatment: read, verified, and given a written verdict.
A concrete RL infrastructure for training through opaque production harnesses, with prefix-tree trajectory recovery and mix-harness training that actually holds up across 200–400 steps.
A black-box RL framework for optimizing agents through complex harnesses via sandbox execution, trajectory reconstruction, and mix-harness training.
A disciplined ablation study that turns pixel-space diffusion from a slow-converging curiosity into a practical, faster-inference alternative to latent-space models.
Latent-to-pixel transfer training cuts convergence time and inference cost for large-scale pixel-space diffusion models.
Treating failed-step isolation as a first-class design constraint, not an afterthought, accounts for most of the benchmark gain here.
A framework that brings ACID-style semantic guarantees to long-horizon LLM agent workflows.
Tools & packages
A structured agent auditing tool that grades on business-alignment and governance, not just capability benchmarks, with an independent-judge architecture that keeps scores citable.
A tool for auditing AI agents to verify they are doing what they are supposed to do, returning results in under 120 seconds.
Puts dispute resolution inside the contract structure itself — the one layer every existing agent-commerce protocol quietly skips.
Trust layer for agent-to-agent commerce: natural-language mandates, ERC-7710 permissions, x402 payments, escrow, and dispute resolution in one open skill.
A worktree-first orchestration shell for CLI agents that treats parallel branches as the native unit of multi-agent work.
Orca is a desktop and mobile ADE for running a fleet of parallel coding agents with your own subscription.
A diagram agent skill whose real contribution is a machine-readable validation contract, not the rendering.
Agent skill producing self-contained HTML diagrams—architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle—with motion and crisp export.
A shared-substrate desktop that lets multiple agents operate over one memory and toolset — the architecture is coherent, but the real-world multi-agent workflow it assumes is still rare.
An open-source AI agent workspace that runs agents across tools, apps, browser, and files with shared memory and 100+ integrations.
A persistent cross-agent memory layer that compiles session observations into a git-versioned wiki rather than replaying raw logs - boring architecture, genuinely useful problem.
A repository providing long-term memory for agent coding CLIs and handoff between different agent vendors.
