What Is a Skill Worth? Structure-Aware Shapley Valuation of Agent Skills
Researchers introduced SkillSV, a structure-aware Shapley valuation framework to assign credit to internal components (e.g., rules, scripts, heuristics) of AI agent skills—enabling more faithful, actionable, and explainable skill analysis under fixed agents and task distributions.

Learning Stateful Predictive Knowledge From Experience
A new research paper proposes Stateful Knowledge Learning (SKL) as a method for LLM agents to extract predictive, state-anchored knowledge from experience—moving beyond brittle trajectory-level reflection—and shows performance gains across WebShop, ScienceWorld, and ChessPuzzles.

Are Arithmetic Heuristic Neurons Form-Invariant? A Mechanistic Analysis of Symbols, Text, and Code in LLMs
A mechanistic interpretability study finds that arithmetic reasoning in Llama-3 models relies on a small, shared set of neurons across symbolic math, word problems, and Python code — suggesting failures stem from inconsistent activation states rather than format-specific circuitry.
