Weak-Driven Learning: How Weak Agents make Strong Agents Stronger

2026-02-09 · Zehao Chen, Gongxun Li, Tianxiang Ai, Zixuan Huang, Xiaodong Liu, Yifei Li, Wang Zhou, Fuzhen Zhuang, Xianglong Liu, Jianxin Li, Deqing Wang, Yikun Ban arxiv

As post-training optimization becomes central to improving large language models, we observe a persistent saturation bottleneck: once models grow highly confident, further training yields diminishing returns. While existing methods continue to reinforce target predictions, we find that informative supervision signals remain latent in models' own historical weak states. Motivated by this observation, we propose WMSS (Weak Agents Can Make Strong Agents Stronger), a post-training paradigm that leverages weak checkpoints to guide continued optimization. By identifying recoverable learning gaps via entropy dynamics and reinforcing them through compensatory learning, WMSS enables strong agents to improve beyond conventional post-training saturation. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and code generation datasets show that agents trained with our approach achieve effective performance improvements, while incurring zero additional inference cost.

Know Your Agent: Reconnaissance-Driven Pentesting of AI Agents

2026-07-22 · Or Zion Eliav, Eyal Lenga, Shir Bernstien, Yisroel Mirsky arxiv

Traditional pentesting uses reconnaissance at each step to uncover unseen weaknesses, build stronger attacks, and advance the objective; we argue that AI agents require the same treatment. We formalize agent reconnaissan…

Information Exchange and Learning Dynamics over Weakly-Connected Adaptive Networks

2014-12-04 · Bicheng Ying, Ali H. Sayed

The paper examines the learning mechanism of adaptive agents over weakly-connected graphs and reveals an interesting behavior on how information flows through such topologies. The results clarify how asymmetries in the e…

Matching with Incomplete Preferences

2022-12-05 · Aditya Kuvalekar

I study a two-sided marriage market in which agents have incomplete preferences -- i.e., they find some alternatives incomparable. The strong (weak) core consists of matchings wherein no coalition wants to form a new mat…

Tandem Training for Language Models

2025-10-15 · Robert West, Ashton Anderson, Ece Kamar, Eric Horvitz arxiv

As language models continue to rapidly improve, we can expect their actions and reasoning to become difficult or impossible for weaker agents and humans to follow, undermining interpretability and oversight. With an eye …

Weak Critics Make Strong Learners: On-Policy Critique Distillation for Scalable Oversight

2026-05-29 · Can Jin, Jiakang Li, Rui Wu, Eddy Zhang 외 arxiv

As large language models become stronger, weak supervisors may fail to provide reliable labels, preferences, or final judgments for complex outputs, limiting both weak-to-strong generalization and scalable oversight. We …
