Key details

  • For SAs evaluation, prior benchmarks mainly focus on specialized tasks that are unlikely to arise in real-world user scenarios.
  • Moreover, their reliance on coarse task-level rubrics often limits evaluation interpretability.
  • To bridge this gap, we introduce DailyReport, an open-ended benchmark to evaluate SA capabilities on daily search tasks.

  • Furthermore, the isolation of conversational sessions combined with weak context matching left open whether LLMs truly lack coherence or whether the conditions needed to detect such coherence were not met.
  • We contrast Big 5 with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which measures intention targeted to a specific behavior and predicts human behavior substantially better than broad traits.
  • We run experiments across four behavioral tasks and 11 frontier LLMs, while also varying session context and identity induction.

  • This repository is closer to a museum exhibit than a product pitch, a crustacean-run artifact kept alive by clawed gajaes, swept and labeled by agents, and automatically maintained according to the harnesses above.
  • As already described in the project philosophy, this is not meant to be hand-operated like a normal product repo.
  • It is an agent-managed exhibit: the harnesses plan, execute, verify, label, and preserve the artifact while the crabs keep the tank running.

Results & evidence

  • No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

DESIGN.md is a new concept introduced by Google Stitch.

Key details

  • Drop one into your project and let coding agents generate a matching UI.
  • Copy a DESIGN.md into your project, tell your AI agent “build me a page that looks like this,” and generate high-quality UI that stays visually consistent with the design language.
  • Built with real design depth — including analyzed patterns, tokens, and rules — for high-quality UI generation, not surface-level outputs.

Key details

  • Yet causal evidence on their effect on software architecture is scarce.
  • Prior causal work has measured code-level outcomes (complexity, static analysis warnings); whether such degradation propagates to architecture-level outcomes remains unknown.
  • We mine 151 open-source Java repositories, 74 with detectable agentic AI adoption (identified via configuration files and Co-Authored-By commit trailers) and 77 propensity-matched controls, across a 13-month per-repository window yielding 1,811 monthly Arca...
  • We estimate the causal effect of adoption on architectural smell density (ASD) with a staggered difference-in-differences design and the Borusyak imputation estimator, applying a causal design recently used for code-level metrics to the architecture level.

  • Total smell counts are essentially unchanged (+1.1%, p = 0.82) while lines of code grow +12.8% (p = 0.003); the resulting 6.7% ASD decline (p = 0.004) is therefore a denominator effect rather than an architectural improvement.
