CORVUS: Context Optimization and Reduction Via Underlying Synchronization for LLM Coding Agents

LLM coding agents operate by constructing trajectories that accumulate reasoning, tool calls, and results to enable multi-step decision-making. However, the conventional append-only trajectory architecture found in practice tightly couples file-read actions with their observations, capturing snapshots that become permanently fixed in the chronological history. As files change through agent edits or concurrent human modifications, these snapshots become stale, causing reasoning errors and causing agents to redundantly re-read files, with each re-read appending yet another copy to the trajectory. To mitigate this, we propose CORVUS, a novel trajectory architecture that decouples file-read actions from their observations by maintaining a synchronized registry of relevant files and injecting only their current contents at each reasoning cycle. This structural change produces significantly lighter-weight trajectories that remain synchronized with the actual codebase state by construction, eliminating redundant file copies and stale snapshots that bloat conventional trajectories. We evaluated CORVUS on SWE- POLYBENCH_VERIFIED and SWE-BENCH PRO across four LLMs, achieving 9-50% reduction in average input tokens per task, 15-32% shorter final prompts, and up to 37% fewer reasoning cycles while maintaining comparable pass rates.

Coherence Collapse: Diagnosing Why Code Agents Fail After Reaching the Right Code

Code agents resolve 65-70% of SWE-bench Verified issues, but Pass@1 cannot tell us why the rest fail, and, as we show, capable-model failures are systematically misdiagnosed without trajectory data. We introduce TRAJEVAL, a training-free decomposition of agent trajectories into reference-patch-aligned search, read, and edit stages, and apply it across 16,758 trajectories spanning three architectures and seven models. The dominant failure of capable models is not localization: 60-69% of failures on SWE-Agent and OpenHands reach and edit the correct functions yet still produce incorrect patches, and the pattern persists for most models on the bash-only LiveSWEAgent. Within this Edit-Quality residual, we identify Coherence Collapse, where the agent reaches correct code and then overwrites or thrashes it, as the largest theme, replicating across SWE-bench Verified and the multilingual PolyBench Verified. In 5 cases, the agent produces a patch bit-identical to the gold reference mid-trajectory and destroys it later; an edit-commit checkpoint recovers all 5 against the SWE-bench Docker harness. A reference-free consensus-driven variant yields a directional +3.0 pp Pass@1 measurement on GPT-5 (p=0.08).

TC-GS: A Faster Gaussian Splatting Module Utilizing Tensor Cores

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) renders pixels by rasterizing Gaussian primitives, where conditional alpha-blending dominates the computational cost in the rendering pipeline. This paper proposes TC-GS, an algorithm-independent universal module that expands the applicability of Tensor Core (TCU) for 3DGS, leading to substantial speedups and seamless integration into existing 3DGS optimization frameworks. The key innovation lies in mapping alpha computation to matrix multiplication, fully utilizing otherwise idle TCUs in existing 3DGS implementations. TC-GS provides plug-and-play acceleration for existing top-tier acceleration algorithms and integrates seamlessly with rendering pipeline designs, such as Gaussian compression and redundancy elimination algorithms. Additionally, we introduce a global-to-local coordinate transformation to mitigate rounding errors from quadratic terms of pixel coordinates caused by Tensor Core half-precision computation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method maintains rendering quality while providing an additional 2.18x speedup over existing Gaussian acceleration algorithms, thereby achieving a total acceleration of up to 5.6x.

PYInfer: Deep Learning Semantic Type Inference for Python Variables

Python type inference is challenging in practice. Due to its dynamic properties and extensive dependencies on third-party libraries without type annotations, the performance of traditional static analysis techniques is limited. Although semantics in source code can help manifest intended usage for variables (thus help infer types), they are usually ignored by existing tools. In this paper, we propose PYInfer, an end-to-end learning-based type inference tool that automatically generates type annotations for Python variables. The key insight is that contextual code semantics is critical in inferring the type for a variable. For each use of a variable, we collect a few tokens within its contextual scope, and design a neural network to predict its type. One challenge is that it is difficult to collect a high-quality human-labeled training dataset for this purpose. To address this issue, we apply an existing static analyzer to generate the ground truth for variables in source code. Our main contribution is a novel approach to statically infer variable types effectively and efficiently. Formulating the type inference as a classification problem, we can handle user-defined types and predict type probabilities for each variable. Our model achieves 91.2% accuracy on classifying 11 basic types in Python and 81.2% accuracy on classifying 500 most common types. Our results substantially outperform the state-of-the-art type annotators. Moreover, PYInfer achieves 5.2X more code coverage and is 187X faster than a state-of-the-art learning-based tool. With similar time consumption, our model annotates 5X more variables than a state-of-the-art static analysis tool. Our model also outperforms a learning-based function-level annotator on annotating types for variables and function arguments. All our tools and datasets are publicly available to facilitate future research in this direction.
