A compact directly-follows automaton recovered from execution traces unifies workflow memory, next-step prediction, failure prediction, and runtime monitoring across 12 datasets and 8 domains.</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Agents</category><category>Interpretability</category><category>Alignment</category></item><item><title>OptimismBench: Forecasting Bias and the Alignment Effect in Language Model Judgment</title><link>https://seongland.com/article/optimismbench/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seongland.com/article/optimismbench/</guid><description>Ask a model for the probability something succeeds, then for the probability it fails. The two numbers rarely sum to 100, and the gap leans one way. An interactive look at directional bias in language model probability judgment.</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Confidence</category><category>Alignment</category></item><item><title>PaaT: Probe as a Tool for Proprioceptive Language Agents</title><link>https://seongland.com/article/paat/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seongland.com/article/paat/</guid><description>Language agents read every external tool result but are blind to their own internal state. PaaT exposes activation-derived safety probes as an agent-callable read_probe tool — and the same probe flips sign depending on whether the agent chooses to look or the system injects it.</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Agents</category><category>Interpretability</category><category>Alignment</category></item><item><title>AgentRoom: Concurrent Multi-Agent Coding in a CRDT-Backed Shared Workspace</title><link>https://seongland.com/article/agentroom/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seongland.com/article/agentroom/</guid><description>When agents work the same task, they can&apos;t communicate in real time.
