Collaborative Human-Agent Protocol (CHAP)

Arsalan Shahid, Gordon Suttie, Philip Black

his paper introduces the Collaborative Human-Agent Protocol (CHAP), a new standard for managing complex, multi-agent and human collaborations. CHAP defines a shared workspace to facilitate seamless interaction and coordination between humans and AI agents, particularly in operational roles involving critical decision-making. Its core contribution is to provide a structured framework for these interactions, moving beyond current ad-hoc methods and enabling more robust and traceable human-AI teamwork.

Three waves in the evolution of agentic systems. Wave I centred on isolated conversational assistants. Wave II added planning, memory, tool use, and early multi-agent orchestration. Wave III centres on shared human-agent workspaces where humans, agents, and services collaborate under explicit policy and shared audit.

Activation-conditioned instruction set retrieval. A frozen target model ℳ \( \mathcal{M} \) generates a response, and we extract a window of T T residual-stream hidden states from layer ℓ \( \ell \) , forming the activation snapshot H ℓ H_{\( \ell \)} . A learned projection maps these states into the model’s embedding space, where they are consumed as a soft prefix by the interpreter \( \phi \) (PRISM). The interpreter reuses ℳ \( \mathcal{M} \) ’s base weights with LoRA adapters and decodes a bullet list ℐ ^ \( \hat \){\( \mathcal{I} \)} of recovered instructions. During RL training, an LLM judge scores candidate lists for coverage of reference instructions and hallucinated bullets.

PRISM: Recovering Instruction Sets from Language Model Activations

Gilad Gressel, Rahul Pankajakshan et al.

PRISM recovers the set of active instructions guiding a language model's behavior by decoding its internal activations. Its core method involves training an activation-conditioned interpreter using GRPO to directly predict instruction sets, rewarding accurate …

SearchSwarm: Towards Delegation Intelligence in Agentic LLMs for Long-Horizon Deep Research

Pu Ning, Quan Chen et al.

This paper introduces SearchSwarm, a method for enabling "delegation intelligence" in LLM agents for long-horizon research tasks. The core method involves a main agent decomposing tasks and delegating subtasks to subagents, which return summarized results to c…

SecureClaw: Clawing Back Control of LLM Agents

Yuhan Ma, Stefan Schmid

SecureClaw introduces a dual-boundary architecture to secure LLM agents. It protects against unauthorized actions by requiring a PREVIEW-COMMIT protocol for state-changing writes, allowing only a trusted executor to commit actions. Sensitive data is protected …

Rethinking the Divergence Regularization in LLM RL

Jiarui Yao, Xiangxin Zhou et al.

This paper proposes Divergence Regularized Policy Optimization (DRPO) to improve the stability of Reinforcement Learning for Large Language Models (LLMs). DRPO replaces the hard masking used in previous methods with a smooth, advantage-weighted quadratic regul…

Per-token gradient weights of different algorithms as a function of the current probability π ​ ( y t | s t ) \( \pi \)(y_{t}|s_{t}) and behavior probability μ ​ ( y t | s t ) \( \mu \)(y_{t}|s_{t}) . For SPO, ϵ = 1 \( \epsilon \)=1 ; for DRPO, δ = 1 \( \delta \)=1 ; for PPO, ε low = 0.2 \( \varepsilon_{\rm low} \)=0.2 and ε high = 0.28 \( \varepsilon_{\rm high} \)=0.28 ; for DPPO, δ = 0.2 \( \delta \)=0.2 . SPO’s weight grows without bound as μ ​ ( y t | s t ) → 0 \( \mu \)(y_{t}|s_{t})\( \to \) 0 , while the weight of DRPO remains bounded for all tokens.
