In October 2026 I posted a series of LinkedIn‑style notes documenting rapid advances in LLM agent engineering, covering memory‑efficient RL, multi‑agent pipelines, harness‑aware training, self‑improvement, safety of tool‑augmented multimodal models, and cost‑effective harness optimization.

LoGRA averages 7.2 GiB of training memory, while rank‑256 LoRA needs 13.2 GiB.

Pass@4 is about the same (81.8% and 81.4%), and Pass@1 is about 2 points lower.

Average training memory per GPU drops 45.7% at 7B (31.8 to 17.3 GiB), with peak accuracy close to dense Adam (72.3% and 72.5% Pass@1).

It also trains a 27B model for more than 1,100 steps on a single eight‑GPU node, where dense Adam runs out of memory.

Splitting long‑context work across agents cuts peak KV cache to 14.3 MiB per query, against about 35 MiB for single‑pass and RAG baselines.

The persistent trace‑recall tier adds 0.368 MiB of peak cache and changes accuracy by +0.015, with a confidence interval that crosses zero.

GitSwarm gives hundreds of asynchronous agents one shared Git repository.

On ProgramBench, it scores 79.4%, against 65.1% for a single Codex agent prompted to keep going at a similar budget.

Score keeps rising with more workers, from 73.1% at 100 to 79.4% at 500.

Later workers build on 94.7% of published contributions, and 70.1% of failed research commits are cited by later accepted work.

Qwen3‑14B goes from 22.2% to 54.8% on Spider 2.0‑SQLite when it is trained in the same execution harness it uses at deployment.

Two cycles on Qwen3.6‑27B raise performance per output token from 1.2 to 1.6x on four open‑ended benchmarks.

In NetHack, only Claude Opus 5.5 improves significantly, by 66 normalized points for about $1,073 of learning.

GPT‑5.6 Sol goes from 6.5% to 31.0% when Codex is replaced with the HERMES harness, with the same model and effort setting.

In a manual review of 195 real failures, 67.18% of its fixes were correct.

Refusal failures rise by up to 68.7% relative, and by 17.7% on average.

A harness edit is kept only if it passes self‑tests and adds at least 5 points on the development set.

The student reaches 63.4% on unseen ALFWorld tasks, compared with 47.0% for the best baseline, and exceeds its 8B teacher.

These results guide my decisions on which methods to adopt for future projects.
