A Zero-Data Paradigm For Autonomous Llm Agent Evolution Via Tool Interaction, Johny Manuel-Devadoss May 2026

A Zero-Data Paradigm For Autonomous Llm Agent Evolution Via Tool Interaction, Johny Manuel-Devadoss

Defensive Publications Series

Current LLM agents exhibit limited capacity for sustained self-improvement without external data or retraining. Existing approaches—such as reflective memory systems, self-generated tasks, and recursive agent rewriting—demonstrate incremental gains but remain bounded by static representations and brittle feedback loops . This paper introduces Chrono-Semantic Self-Distillation (CSSD), a novel architecture in which agents restructure their internal reasoning space through temporally layered tool interactions, forming emergent meta-representations that function as synthetic priors. The system enables continuous performance improvement without additional datasets, gradient updates, or external supervision.

Framework For Autonomous Agent Resilience Via Self-Correcting Execution Loops, Michael Kochera May 2026

Framework For Autonomous Agent Resilience Via Self-Correcting Execution Loops, Michael Kochera

Defensive Publications Series

Autonomous agents in complex workflows can be unreliable, potentially failing due to semantic errors, for example, incorrect tool usage, model hallucinations, or malformed outputs, which may not be addressed by some system-level fault tolerance methods. A resilient agent framework can introduce self-correction loops at the individual agent-execution level. The framework may operate by intercepting and validating an agent's actions; if a failure is detected, it can provide structured, context-aware feedback, enabling the agent to use in-context learning to self-correct and retry its immediate task. This approach improves the reliability of autonomous agents by helping to resolve semantic errors, reducing a …

Local Replication With Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping, N/A, N/A May 2026

Local Replication With Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping, N/A, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure is directed to multicast scalability in cloud networking environments by shifting packet replication from a central gateway to individual physical hosts. In high-density hosting scenarios where multiple virtual machine (VM) endpoints reside on a single machine, conventional gateway replication saturates shared, single-threaded reorder processors, leading to performance degradation and packet drops. An approach may implement an internet group management protocol (IGMP) snooping agent on each host to intercept join and leave messages, enabling the maintenance of a per-group mapping of local subscribers. This allows the multicast gateway to transmit only a single copy of a packet to …

Tool State Tracking And Steering For Multi-Turn Large Language Model Interactions, Victor Carbune, Florian Hartmann

Defensive Publications Series

Interactions between large language models and external tools in multi-turn conversations often face limitations due to the black-box nature of many tools. Because tool behaviors can change or may not be fully captured during model training, the model may struggle to accurately track tool states or effectively refine outputs across multiple exchanges.

An inference-time technique is disclosed to model tool behavior and track state transitions. The method involves monitoring tool inputs and outputs during a conversation to build a representation of the tool’s state. Reflection steps are integrated into the reasoning process to evaluate how a tool is being invoked …


Asynchronous Execution Of Large Language Model Tool Calls Via Partial Argument Decoding, Florian Hartmann, Victor Carbune May 2026

Asynchronous Execution Of Large Language Model Tool Calls Via Partial Argument Decoding, Florian Hartmann, Victor Carbune

Defensive Publications Series

Tool calls in large language models are traditionally issued only after all arguments are fully decoded. This sequential process results in increased latency, particularly for tools requiring multiple parameters where some arguments are not immediately necessary for initial execution steps. This disclosure describes a method for the asynchronous execution of tool calls through partial argument decoding. Tools are decomposed into sub-tasks to identify the specific order and timing for each argument requirement. The model is trained to generate arguments in this optimized sequence. During inference, tool execution is initiated as soon as the first required arguments are decoded. Parallel processing …
