Abstract

Experienced professionals know more than just facts and conclusions. They know which cues matter, why a judgment is reasonable, and which action to take. Routine work records often leave out this tacit knowledge, making it difficult for Large Language Model (LLM) agents to use professional experience effectively. We introduce KUPAS MASTER, an experience engineering platform built around nine-layer cognitive corpus construction. It turns heterogeneous work records and practitioner interviews into traceable, reusable experience corpora for agents. Six case elements preserve the task process: context, cues, judgment, action, boundaries, and outcomes. Nine-layer cognitive corpus construction organizes tacit experience along nine extraction dimensions and stores the resulting assets in six libraries: rules, constraints, best practices, negative examples, corner cases, and skills. Semantic alignment, individual experience distillation, organizational consolidation, and cross-review preserve source evidence, conditions of use, and unresolved disagreements. The platform packages these assets into callable skills with explicit inputs, steps, dependencies, and stopping conditions, connecting experience collection to task execution and evaluation feedback. Using authorized samples from 20 randomly selected practitioners, the platform processed 1,576 source files into 23,024 individual experience records and 13,113 organizational assets. The evaluation spans multiple professional domains. Under common task inputs and scoring criteria, the base model, raw corpus retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and KUPAS MASTER agent scored 70.63, 79.75, and 89.58, respectively. The KUPAS MASTER agent improved on raw-corpus RAG in all seven scoring dimensions. The platform provides a practical path from individual tacit experience to organizational knowledge and agent capabilities.

Hierarchical Reasoning Model

Reasoning, the process of devising and executing complex goal-oriented action sequences, remains a critical challenge in AI. Current large language models (LLMs) primarily employ Chain-of-Thought (CoT) techniques, which suffer from brittle task decomposition, extensive data requirements, and high latency. Inspired by the hierarchical and multi-timescale processing in the human brain, we propose the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM), a novel recurrent architecture that attains significant computational depth while maintaining both training stability and efficiency. HRM executes sequential reasoning tasks in a single forward pass without explicit supervision of the intermediate process, through two interdependent recurrent modules: a high-level module responsible for slow, abstract planning, and a low-level module handling rapid, detailed computations. With only 27 million parameters, HRM achieves exceptional performance on complex reasoning tasks using only 1000 training samples. The model operates without pre-training or CoT data, yet achieves nearly perfect performance on challenging tasks including complex Sudoku puzzles and optimal path finding in large mazes. Furthermore, HRM outperforms much larger models with significantly longer context windows on the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC), a key benchmark for measuring artificial general intelligence capabilities. These results underscore HRM's potential as a transformative advancement toward universal computation and general-purpose reasoning systems.

A memory-based active inference model of DishBrain-like adaptive behaviour

Recent and rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) make it increasingly important to understand the foundations of adaptive behaviour in autonomous agents, especially for building safe and efficient systems. While artificial neural networks have dominated the development of AI, recent work has begun to explore living biological neuronal networks as an alternative substrate for computation. These systems promise remarkable data and sample efficiency and rich dynamics, and may also inspire explainable and biologically plausible models. Here, we develop an experiment-informed active inference framework to model decision-making in closed-loop agents that mirror experimental setups using biological neurons. Using a generative model whose dimensions are matched to an experiment protocol, we systematically compare three decision-making schemes within this common generative model. Under matched episode counts (i.e. total data available for learning) to the in-vitro experiment, our simulations show that agents with short memory horizons reach a level of performance close to that of mouse and human cortical cultures (DishBrain platform), whereas longer memory horizons depart from it substantially. Increasing the planning horizon, by contrast, confers no comparable benefit. Because all model parameters are explicit, we can also track the quantities in our generative model that accompany this improvement, such as the risk term and the entropy of the transition and state-action mappings. Together, these results illustrate how active inference offers a formal language for comparing decision-making schemes in similar closed-loop control environments.

A Quantitative Study of Sustained Focus in Large Language Models via Repetitive Deterministic Prediction Tasks

We investigate the performance of large language models (LLMs) on repetitive deterministic prediction tasks and study how the sequence accuracy rate (SAR) scales with output length. Each such task involves the repetition of the same operation $N$ times. Examples of such tasks include letter replacement in letter strings following a given rule, integer addition, and multiplication of string operators in many-body quantum mechanics. If the LLM performs the task by a simple repetition algorithm, the success rate would follow an exponential decay with sequence length. In contrast, our experiments on leading LLMs reveal a crossover that is sharper than exponential: $-\log\mathrm{SAR}$ grows super-linearly with $N$, and accuracy collapses around a characteristic length $N_*$, the accuracy cliff that separates reliable from unreliable generation. The hypothesis of independent per-step errors is rejected for every model and task we studied. The crossover is well described by a double-exponential accumulation law, $\mathrm{SAR}=\exp(-β_0 Nα^{N-1})$, whose crossover scale $N_*$ does not depend on the functional form chosen to fit it. To interpret this behaviour we introduce a minimal effective model in which step-correctness variables interact through dense random couplings and compete with an external field set by the prompt. Solved by direct enumeration, the model reproduces the super-linear error accumulation and the accuracy cliff qualitatively, and it assigns to each model--task pair two interpretable parameters, an intrinsic error rate and an error-accumulation factor.
