LLM agents in interactive entertainment and social applications, including companions, role-play characters, and persona clones, need decisions grounded in personality and past experiences. We introduce HEART-Bench to evaluate memory-grounded persona-consistent response selection. The benchmark combines 11 Big Five-anchored synthetic characters, each with 1,000 autobiographical memories, and 64 DIAMONDS-guided decision scenarios into 673 multiple-choice questions. Domain experts independently compare candidate responses, with a senior expert resolving disagreements and revising responses when needed; other characters' adjudicated responses to the same scenario serve as distractors. In the main evaluation, models receive character IDs and occupations, scenarios, and options, with retrieved memories added in memory-augmented settings. Detailed personality-and-value profiles are withheld. We evaluate 16 LLMs under No-Retrieval, Naive-RAG, Mem0, and PersonaDB. Accuracy without memories stays near the 25% chance level, and the best memory-augmented configuration reaches 64.9%. On a matched 150-item subset, human annotators reach 80.8%, compared with 64.0% for the best model. Memory-content ablations show the importance of retrieving experiences that match both the target character and the decision context.

Reliable verifiable data has become a key driver of capability gains in modern language models, enabling stable reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards and effective distillation that transfers competence across math, coding, and agentic tasks. Yet constructing generalizable synthetic verifiable data remains difficult due to hallucination-prone generation, and weak or trivial verification artifacts that fail to separate strong from weak solutions. Existing approaches often rely on task-specific heuristics or post-hoc filters that do not transfer across domains and lack a principled, universal evaluator of verifiability. In this work, we introduce an evolutionary, task-agnostic, strategy-guided, executably-checkable data synthesis framework that, from minimal seed supervision, jointly synthesizes problems, diverse candidate solutions, and verification artifacts, and iteratively discovers strategies via a consistency-based evaluator that enforces agreement between human-annotated and strategy-induced checks. This pipeline upgrades filtering into principled synthesis: it reliably assembles coherent, verifiable training instances and generalizes without domain-specific rules. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach under both RLVR and model distillation training paradigms. The results show that training with our synthesized data yields significant improvements on both the LiveCodeBench and AgentBench-OS tasks, highlighting the robust generalization of our framework.

AI 速览：OpenHands是一个开源平台，用于构建和评估能像人类开发者一样编写代码、操作命令行和浏览网页的AI智能体。
Software is one of the most powerful tools that we humans have at our disposal; it allows a skilled programmer to interact with the world in complex and profound ways. At the same time, thanks to improvements in large language models (LLMs), there has also been a rapid development in AI agents that interact with and affect change in their surrounding environments. In this paper, we introduce OpenHands (f.k.a. OpenDevin), a platform for the development of powerful and flexible AI agents that interact with the world in similar ways to those of a human developer: by writing code, interacting with a command line, and browsing the web. We describe how the platform allows for the implementation of new agents, safe interaction with sandboxed environments for code execution, coordination between multiple agents, and incorporation of evaluation benchmarks. Based on our currently incorporated benchmarks, we perform an evaluation of agents over 15 challenging tasks, including software engineering (e.g., SWE-BENCH) and web browsing (e.g., WEBARENA), among others. Released under the permissive MIT license, OpenHands is a community project spanning academia and industry with more than 2.1K contributions from over 188 contributors.
