WorkFactory: probe and repair professional-task environments before collecting demonstrations. Authors construct 112,686 tasks across 612 occupations; WorkPilot-35B-A3B rises from 879 to 1565 Elo on GDPval-AA v2.1. Read it for executable task design; total construction cost is unspecified in the abstract. → WorkFactory — executable tasks before expert demonstrations (source)

A-RSI: refresh training tasks when learning signals weaken, using program-derived answers instead of majority labels. The reported suite average rises from 57.77 to 61.05 with 800 fresh tasks. Read it for separating refresh decisions from answer checks; the abstract leaves audit coverage and total compute unclear. → A-RSI — refreshing training tasks without using test scores (source)
