The Comprehension-Gated Agent Economy: A Robustness-First Architecture for AI Economic Agency
arXiv:2603.15639v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are increasingly granted economic agency (executing trades, managing budgets, negotiating contracts, and spawning sub-agents), yet current frameworks gate this agency on capability benchmarks that are empirically uncorrelated with operational robustness. We introduce the...
MoLoRA: Composable Specialization via Per-Token Adapter Routing
arXiv:2603.15965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-adapter serving systems route entire sequences to a single adapter, forcing a choice when requests span multiple domains.
