In continuous spiking keyword spotting, temporally correlated acoustic frames can repeatedly trigger memory access and neural computation at a dense input interface, even when hidden activity is sparse. Predictive processing and sensory adaptation suggest retaining predictable input locally and responding selectively to deviations. Inspired by this mechanism, we propose Predictive Gating Signed-Dyadic Coding (PG). PG maintains a local prediction for each input channel and transmits an event only when the residual exceeds a learned threshold. Each event carries a sign and a finite power-of-two magnitude, and the receiver reconstructs it with fixed-point shifts and additions. In Mandarin keyword spotting, INPUT-PG reaches 90.00% accuracy while reducing mean SRAM reads by 33.87% and inference cycles by 32.77%. PG provides a hardware interface for research on low-power continuous speech processing and event-based sensory systems.

Randomized search experiments increasingly evaluate experiences in which large language models answer information needs directly on the results page. Click status alone cannot identify success: a click may lead to an unsatisfactory result, while no click may indicate successful answer consumption, or "good abandonment." Prior research has shown that good abandonment is difficult to detect because dwell, scrolling, and reformulation are meaningful only in context. We present Session Success Rate (SSR), a human-grounded, interpretable outcome metric designed for online controlled experiments. Trained judges label complete session experiences using privacy-protected interaction evidence and video recordings; these offline labels train models scored online from query events, viewport behavior, result-page interactions, and semantic reformulations. Out-of-sample evaluation on 6,904 labeled queries yields 0.75 balanced accuracy overall and 0.68 within abandoned queries; session-level balanced accuracy is 0.68. The sample shows why interaction status is not an adequate outcome: 53.2% of abandonments were successful and 6.5% of clicked queries were unsuccessful. In a validation portfolio of seven ranking and five non-ranking experiments, SSR agreed with Sessions per User in seven cases, was inconclusive in four, and disagreed in one under a common p < 0.05 rule. Separately, across approximately 4,000 production experiments, SSR produced about 2.5 times the binary sensitivity of Sessions per User; in the studied workflow, this supported lower traffic allocations and greater experiment throughput under a fixed traffic budget.

The Agentic Web needs to support continuous collaboration among agents from different organizations. These collaborative relationships may span multiple tasks, network connections and execution instances. Such interactions require stable communication entries, message reception when instances are offline, and source verification after delayed reading. How to organize these responsibilities so that cross domain communication does not depend on specific execution instances being continuously online is a key issue for building long term agent interaction infrastructure. We propose ATP (Agent Transfer Protocol), a cross organization agent communication protocol adopting a domain mediated architecture. In this architecture, administrative domains maintain stable addresses and receiving entries for logical agents. The domain servers of both parties continuously undertake cross domain transmission. The receiving domain verifies and saves messages for execution instances to read later. The sending domain signs the complete message envelope. This allows the receiving instance to independently reverify the domain source and content integrity after the original connection ends, provided the original verification public key is still trusted and obtainable. We implemented an ATP prototype and evaluated it through a controlled cross organization LLM agent workflow, mechanism checks and latency measurements. The workflow completed subsequent business processing after instances went offline or were replaced. The independent verifier successfully verified the domain source and content integrity of saved messages. Latency measurements further quantified the communication and processing overhead introduced by the continuous mediation of domain servers.

Command-line interface (CLI) agents increasingly execute longer-horizon tasks, yet existing benchmarks either assume that user instructions remain fixed throughout execution or evaluate task outcomes without capturing runtime collaboration quality. In this paper, we present REALCLI, a paired benchmark that unifies the evaluation of task execution and human-agent collaboration quality on realistic CLI tasks. To comprehensively measure collaboration, REALCLI builds a five-dimensional framework, operationalized into 22 sub-dimensions and 51 interaction scenario templates. REALCLI provides two modes for paired comparison: REALCLI-EXEC supplies complete specifications upfront, whereas REALCLI-COLLAB introduces a scripted user that delivers progressive information, corrections, constraint revisions, and authorization decisions. Evaluations reveal profound capability gaps in frontier agents: the best configuration attains an average score of only 49.2%, and when evaluated by the joint collaboration score ($J_{\mathrm{collab}}$), the peak performance reaches merely 37.6%. These results show that task effectiveness diverges sharply from collaboration quality, with models consistently struggling in steerability, trust calibration, and safety boundary management. REALCLI provides a rigorous, reproducible foundation for measuring and advancing collaborative CLI agents.

Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly rely on external tools to perform complex, realistic tasks, yet their ability to utilize the rapidly expanding Model Contextual Protocol (MCP) ecosystem remains limited. Existing MCP research covers few servers, depends on costly manual curation, and lacks training support, hindering progress toward real-world deployment. To overcome these limitations, we introduce MCP-Flow, an automated web-agent-driven pipeline for large-scale server discovery, data synthesis, and model training. MCP-Flow collects and filters data from 1166 servers and 11536 tools, producing 68733 high-quality instruction-function call pairs and 6439 trajectories, far exceeding prior work in scale and diversity. Extensive experiments demonstrate MCP-Flow’s effectiveness in driving superior MCP tool selection, function-call generation, and enhanced agentic task performance. MCP-Flow thus provides a scalable foundation for advancing LLM agents’ proficiency in real-world MCP environments.
