Weak-to-Strong GraphRAG Interesting ICLR 2026 submission with some insights on improving GraphRAG systems and making them more feasible in production environments. Graph-based RAG lets LLMs ground responses in structured knowledge graphs. But there's a fundamental mismatch between retrievers and the LLMs they serve. As knowledge graphs become central to RAG systems, aligning retrievers to LLM needs through LLM feedback offers a principled path to better multi-hop reasoning with lower costs. The problem is twofold. First, graph retrievers train on weak supervision like query-answer shortest paths. This misses key reasoning steps and introduces spurious connections. Second, retrieved knowledge comes back unorganized. LLMs are sensitive to context ordering, and messy graph data adds unnecessary complexity. This new research introduces ReG (Refined Graph-based RAG), a framework that uses LLM feedback to align weak retrievers with the LLMs they serve. Graph-based RAG is essentially a black-box combinatorial search. Given a query, find the minimal sufficient subgraph for correct reasoning. The LLM acts as an evaluator. But exhaustively searching this space is computationally intractable. ReG takes a simpler approach. Instead of optimizing over all possible subgraphs, it utilizes LLMs to select more effective reasoning chains from candidate chains extracted from the knowledge graph. The improved supervision trains better retrievers. A structure-aware reorganization module then refactors retrieval results into logically coherent evidence chains. This aligns the presentation to how LLMs actually process information. On CWQ-Sub with GPT-4o, ReG achieves 68.91% Macro-F1 versus SubgraphRAG's 66.48%. On WebQSP-Sub, 80.08% versus 79.4%. The gains hold across multiple LLM backbones. The data efficiency is notable in the reported experimental results. ReG trained on just 5% of data, matches baselines trained on 80%. The refined supervision eliminates noise that larger datasets would otherwise compound. When paired with reasoning LLMs like QwQ-32B, ReG reduces reasoning tokens by up to 30% while improving performance. The structure-aware reorganization prevents the "overthinking" problem where LRMs produce verbose traces in a noisy context. Paper: https://t.co/mF9sLB63JN

First comprehensive framework for how AI agents actually improve through adaptation. While there is a lot of hype about building bigger models, the research reveals a different lever: systematic adaptation of agents and their tools. Researchers from many universities surveyed the rapidly expanding landscape of agentic AI adaptation. What they found: a fragmented field with no unified understanding of how agents learn to use tools, when to adapt the agent versus the tool, and which strategies work for which scenarios. These are all important for building production-ready AI agents. Adaptation in agentic AI follows four distinct paradigms that most practitioners conflate or ignore entirely. The framework organizes all adaptation strategies into two dimensions. > Agent Adaptation (A1, A2): modifying the agent's parameters, representations, or policies. > Tool Adaptation (T1, T2): optimizing external components like retrievers, planners, and memory modules while keeping the agent frozen. Let's discuss each in more detail: A1: Tool Execution Signaled Agent Adaptation. The agent learns from verifiable outcomes produced by tools it invokes. This involves code sandbox results, retrieval relevance scores, and API call outcomes. Methods like Toolformer, ToolLLM, and DeepRetrieval also fall here. The signal comes from whether the tool execution succeeded, not whether the final answer was correct. A2: Agent Output Signaled Agent Adaptation. The agent optimizes based on evaluations of its own final outputs. This includes both tool-free reasoning (DeepSeek-R1, Kimi-1.5) and tool-augmented adaptation (ReTool, Search-R1). The signal comes from answer correctness or preference scores, not intermediate tool calls. T1: Agent-Agnostic Tool Adaptation. This involves tools trained independently of any specific agent, including HuggingGPT, ViperGPT, and classic ML tools that serve as plug-and-play modules. These tools generalize well across different agents but may not be optimized for any particular one. T2: Agent-Supervised Tool Adaptation. Tools adapted using signals from a frozen agent's outputs. Includes reward-driven retriever tuning, adaptive search subagents, and memory-update modules like Reflexion and Memento. The agent stays fixed while tools learn to better support its reasoning. The trade-offs between paradigms are explicit. Cost and flexibility: A1/A2 require substantial compute for training billion-parameter models but offer maximal flexibility. T1/T2 optimize external components at a lower cost but may hit ceilings set by the frozen agent's capabilities. Generalization patterns differ significantly. T1 tools trained on broad distributions generalize well across agents and tasks. A1 methods risk overfitting to specific environments unless carefully regularized. T2 approaches enable independent tool upgrades without agent retraining, facilitating continuous improvement. The researchers identify when each paradigm fits. A1 suits scenarios with verifiable tool outputs like code execution or database queries. A2 works when only the final answer quality matters. T1 applies when tools must serve multiple agents. T2 excels when the agent is fixed, but tool performance is the bottleneck. State-of-the-art systems increasingly combine paradigms. A deep research system might use T1-style pretrained retrievers, T2-style adaptive search agents trained via frozen LLM feedback, and A1-style reasoning agents fine-tuned with execution feedback in a cascaded architecture. Four open challenges remain unsolved: - Co-adaptation: jointly optimizing agents and tools remains underexplored. - Continual adaptation: enabling lifelong learning without catastrophic forgetting. - Safe adaptation: preventing harmful behaviors during optimization. - Efficient adaptation: reducing computational costs while maintaining performance. The choice of adaptation paradigm fundamentally shapes what an agentic system can learn, how fast it improves, and whether improvements transfer across tasks. Teams building production agents need a principled framework for these decisions, not ad-hoc choices.

This weekend, we’re shipping 3,000 Reachy Minis all over the world! To my knowledge, it’s one of the largest shipments of AI robots of the year (or ever?) just in time for Christmas! If you’re in this batch, expect to receive an email in the coming days. Keep in mind that this first version is designed for AI builders, so it’s very bare-bones. At the moment, it has very little software on it, and, like most early hardware, will likely have a fair number of bugs and quirks. Right now, it’s much more of an open-source, DIY robotics platform than a polished consumer robot. The beautiful thing is that we’ve already seen community members managing to hack cool apps and help to improve Reachy Mini a lot! If you’re not in this batch or haven’t bought a Reachy Mini yet, you can expect delivery by the end of January, or roughly 90 days after your purchase (we’re actively working to shorten that timeline). In the meantime, you can start building for current or future Reachy owners using the simulator in the GitHub repo, as all of the software is open-source. Congrats to the @pollenrobotics @huggingface @seeedstudio teams that worked extremely hard to get to this milestone, just 5 months after the beginning of the project! I'm terribly excited to see what you’ll all build with this! Let’s go open and collaborative AI robotics!

Yesterday, we launched PAX SILICA, a partnership built for the AI age. This is the first time countries are organizing around compute, silicon, minerals and manufacturing as shared strategic assets. President Trump, Secretary Rubio and @davidsacks47 understood earlier than anyone that AI is the new backbone of economic power. This declaration operationalizes that insight. Building off of President Trump’s landmark AI Action Plan, this is American AI diplomacy at its best: building flexible coalitions, shaping markets, and putting AMERICA FIRST! 🇺🇸
