Forage V2: Knowledge Evolution and Transfer in Autonomous Agent Organizations

Autonomous agents operating in open-world tasks -- where the completion boundary is not given in advance -- face denominator blindness: they systematically underestimate the scope of the target space. Forage V1 addressed this through co-evolving evaluation (an independent Evaluator discovers what "complete" means) and method isolation (Evaluator and Planner cannot see each other's code). V2 extends the architecture from a single expedition to a learning organization: experience accumulates across runs, transfers across model capabilities, and institutional safeguards prevent knowledge degradation. We demonstrate two claims across three task types (web scraping, API queries, mathematical reasoning). Knowledge accumulation: over six runs, knowledge entries grow from 0 to 54, and denominator estimates stabilize as domain understanding deepens. Knowledge transfer: a weaker agent (Sonnet) seeded with a stronger agent's (Opus) knowledge narrows a 6.6pp coverage gap to 1.1pp, halves cost (9.40 to 5.13 USD), converges in half the rounds (mean 4.5 vs. 7.0), and three independent seeded runs arrive at exactly the same denominator estimate (266), suggesting organizational knowledge calibrates evaluation itself. V2's contribution is architectural: it designs institutions -- audit separation, contract protocols, organizational memory -- that make any agent more reliable upon entry. The accumulated experience is organizational, model-agnostic, and transferable, stored as readable documents that any future agent inherits regardless of provider or capability level.

Large Language Models at Work in China's Labor Market

This paper explores the potential impacts of large language models (LLMs) on the Chinese labor market. We analyze occupational exposure to LLM capabilities by incorporating human expertise and LLM classifications, following the methodology of Eloundou et al. (2023). The results indicate a positive correlation between occupational exposure and both wage levels and experience premiums at the occupation level. This suggests that higher-paying and experience-intensive jobs may face greater exposure risks from LLM-powered software. We then aggregate occupational exposure at the industry level to obtain industrial exposure scores. Both occupational and industrial exposure scores align with expert assessments. Our empirical analysis also demonstrates a distinct impact of LLMs, which deviates from the routinization hypothesis. We present a stylized theoretical framework to better understand this deviation from previous digital technologies. By incorporating entropy-based information theory into the task-based framework, we propose an AI learning theory that reveals a different pattern of LLM impacts compared to the routinization hypothesis.

Deep Learning for Multi-Country GDP Prediction: A Study of Model Performance and Data Impact

GDP is a vital measure of a country's economic health, reflecting the total value of goods and services produced. Forecasting GDP growth is essential for economic planning, as it helps governments, businesses, and investors anticipate trends, make informed decisions, and promote stability and growth. While most previous works focus on the prediction of the GDP growth rate for a single country or by machine learning methods, in this paper we give a comprehensive study on the GDP growth forecasting in the multi-country scenario by deep learning algorithms. For the prediction of the GDP growth where only GDP growth values are used, linear regression is generally better than deep learning algorithms. However, for the regression and the prediction of the GDP growth with selected economic indicators, deep learning algorithms could be superior to linear regression. We also investigate the influence of the novel data -- the light intensity data on the prediction of the GDP growth, and numerical experiments indicate that they do not necessarily improve the prediction performance.

Low-cost high-efficiency solar steam generation by wick material with graphite micro/nano particles

Generating water steam by solar energy is a significant process for many fields. In this paper, a low-cost high-efficiency wick type steam generator is proposed. It's based on the heat localization and thin-film evaporation. The measurements show that the energy efficiency is 84 % at 1 kw/m2. Besides, the dependence of efficiency on particle concentration and size are discussed. The optimal particle concentration is found at 60 g/m2, and a smaller particle size gives higher efficiency. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical prediction based on thin-film evaporation theory. Our study offers a new in-depth understanding of low-cost high-efficiency solar steam generation.
