[object Object]Asynchronous monitoring, incident investigations, and compliance audits primarily rely on agent traces to reconstruct what happened. These analyses assume that LLM agents cannot tamper with their own execution traces. We show that local LLM agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Open Code and Grok Build fail to enforce this boundary. All tested harnesses, except Muse Code, allowed agents to delete their traces when asked, without triggering monitor guardrails. We also validate that external attackers can exploit this gap to induce trace deletion. Finally, we show that trace tampering behavior emerges naturally in frontier models, when agents try to improve their rewards. We advise practitioners to ensure trace logging happens through an independent interception mechanism outside of the agent's control, preserving trace integrity even in cases of full host compromise. Overall, ou
1d ago·Jeremy Qin, David Schmotz, Derck Prinzhorn et al.·PDF↗ [object Object]Latent world models are typically trained to predict factual transitions, whereas model predictive control (MPC) must compare alternative actions from the same state. A model can therefore achieve low factual prediction error yet poorly distinguish candidate actions. We introduce AD-WM, an action-discriminative joint-embedding world model for counterfactual MPC. AD-WM combines residual latent dynamics with predictor-level action-recovery regularization, using inverse dynamics and a normalized recovery objective motivated by conditional mutual information. Both objectives encourage planning transitions to preserve action information; their auxiliary heads are discarded at test time, leaving MPC unchanged. On OGBench-Cube, AD-WM improves hard-start success from 3.7% to 52.0% over a matched LeWM baseline and improves mean success over the reproduced baseline in four of five simulation envir
1d ago·Jiabin Qiu, Zixuan Chen, Hongye Cao et al.·PDF↗ [object Object]Distributed learning in embodied reinforcement-learning agents offers a degree of privacy by retaining raw sensor data on-device and transmitting only policy gradients to the server. Yet temporal structure can amplify this leakage beyond single-frame attacks. We introduce Temporal Reconstruction Attack on Consecutive Encodings (TRACE), an amortized temporal gradient-inversion attack that autoregressively reconstructs the sequence of private observation-action trajectories from per-step policy-learning gradients. The attack exploits two structural signals ignored by prior single-frame methods: (i) cross-time correlation between successive embodied gradients, which we formalize via a conditional mutual-information bound, and (ii) closed-form action recovery from policy-head gradient structure, which we prove exact when standard entropy regularization is sufficiently small. On held-out embo
1d ago·Sudip Bhujel, Shanghao Shi, Ruiquan Huang et al.·PDF↗ [object Object]Conspiratorial discourse on social media is not always expressed through explicit claims or stable lexical markers. The same surface content may express endorsement, legitimate concerns, criticism, satire, or mockery. The main challenge is therefore not only recognizing conspiracy-related claims, but inferring the speaker's intent -- the utterance's illocutionary force. We argue that this can be achieved through the use of relevant social contexts and propose an agentic framework, equipped with a set of tools supporting social queries. We demonstrate the benefits of our approach on a unique dataset of Hebrew tweets, covering 80\%--90\% of the public Hebrew tweets published over a four-year span (late 2018-- early 2023), encompassing several election cycles as well as the COVID pandemic years and related vaccination campaigns. This extensive coverage can be used in recovering different so
1d ago·Lior Biton, Oren Tsur·PDF↗ [object Object]Coding agents have demonstrated enormous success in solving complex programming problems. To leverage their potential for robot systems, this work introduces Robot Agentic Programming from Demonstrations (RAPID), which automatically generates, verifies, and refines robot programs, given a single visual human demonstration. The iterative agentic loop of code refinement requires several key ingredients: (i) a testable task specification, (ii) action primitives for robot execution, and (iii) an interactive environment for program execution and verification. RAPID infers all three from the demonstration automatically. To make the resulting program reusable beyond the demonstration setting, RAPID uses an object-centric relational program representation that focuses on the underlying structure of the demonstrated strategy rather than the specific motion per se: it expresses the action primitiv
1d ago·Yuyao Liu, Jiayuan Mao, David Hsu et al.·PDF↗ [object Object]World Action Models (WAMs) couple action generation with future visual prediction for robotic manipulation. However, completing the joint video-action denoising process at each replanning cycle incurs substantial latency, delaying action updates and limiting closed-loop responsiveness. We present Rolling-WAM, a formulation that distributes joint denoising across successive replanning cycles. Our method maintains a sliding window of video-action chunks at staggered noise levels. At each step, a rolling noise schedule fully denoises the imminent action chunk for execution, while partially refining farther-future chunks. As the window advances with new camera observations, the retained future chunks continue their denoising process. This distributes the computational cost over time while carrying an evolving visual-action context across chunk boundaries. Evaluations on LIBERO, RoboTwin, and
