While autonomous software engineering (SWE) agents are reshaping programming paradigms, they currently suffer from a “closed-world” limitation: they attempt to fix bugs from scratch or solely using information from the current repository, ignoring the immense historical human experience available on platforms like GitHub. Accessing this open-world experience is hindered by the unstructured and fragmented nature of real-world issue-tracking data. In this paper, we introduce MemGovern, a framework designed to govern and transform raw GitHub data into actionable experiential memory for agents. MemGovern employs experience governance to convert human experience into agent-friendly experience cards and introduces an agentic experience search strategy that enables logic-driven retrieval of human expertise. By producing 135K governed experience cards, MemGovern achieves a significant performance boost, improving resolution rates on the SWE-bench benchmark by 4.65%. As a plug-in approach, MemGovern provides a solution for agent-friendly memory infrastructure.

Self-evolution methods enhance code generation through iterative ”generate-verify-refine” cycles, yet existing approaches suffer from low exploration efficiency, failing to discover algorithmically superior solutions within limited budgets. We identify the root cause as the lack of systematic controllability: execution feedback is not reliably converted into targeted search decisions across route planning, edit granularity, and experience reuse. We propose Controlled Self-Evolution (CSE), a framework that couples three components into an integrated control architecture. Diversified Planning Initialization provides route diversity through structurally distinct algorithmic strategies. Modular Evolution provides feedback attribution and module-level editing by decomposing programs into functional modules and applying targeted mutation and compositional crossover. Hierarchical Evolution Memory maintains search state within tasks and distills reusable optimization patterns across tasks. Experiments on EffiBench-X demonstrate that CSE consistently outperforms all baselines across various LLM backbones. Further analysis reveals non-additive synergy among control layers, confirming that CSE’s effectiveness arises from component coupling rather than independent contributions.

AI coding has emerged as a core application of large language models (LLMs), evolving from single-file coding tasks towards complex software engineering (SWE) scenarios. Recent advances in agents have enabled multi-file, multi-language, and dependency-aware AI coding, significantly expanding the scope of AI-assisted software development. While a variety of benchmarks have been proposed to evaluate coding capabilities in general-purpose or GPU coding ecosystems such as CUDA and ROCm, systematic evaluation for Huawei Ascend CANN remains largely underexplored. In this work, we propose LiveCANNBench, an SWE-level benchmark designed for AI coding in the CANN software stack. LiveCANNBench is constructed from real-world CANN repositories and consists of over 400 task instances spanning multi-file, multi-language, and execution-aware coding challenges. Unlike existing static benchmarks that primarily focus on kernel-level code generation, LiveCANNBench adopts a live benchmarking paradigm, effectively mitigating data leakage and enabling more reliable evaluation of modern coding agents.

With the rise of the Agent Web and Model Context Protocol (MCP), the agent ecosystem is evolving into an open collaborative network, exponentially increasing accessible tools. However, current architectures face severe scalability and generality bottlenecks. To address this, we propose ACE-Router, a pipeline for training history-aware routers to empower precise navigation in large-scale ecosystems. By leveraging a dependency-rich candidate Graph to synthesize multi-turn trajectories, we effectively train routers with dynamic context understanding to create the plug-and-play Light Routing Agent. Experiments on the real-world benchmarks MCP-Universe and MCP-Mark demonstrate superior performance. Notably, ACE-Router exhibits critical properties for the future Agent Web: it not only generalizes to multi-agent collaboration with minimal adaptation but also maintains exceptional robustness against noise and scales effectively to massive candidate spaces. These findings provide a strong empirical foundation for universal orchestration in open-ended ecosystems.Our code is available at https://github.com/euyis1019/ACE-Router.

Existing long-horizon memory benchmarks mostly use multi-turn dialogues or synthetic user histories, which makes retrieval performance an imperfect proxy for person understanding. We present Knowme-Bench, a publicly releasable benchmark built from long-form autobiographical narratives, where actions, context, and inner thoughts provide dense evidence for inferring stable motivations and decision principles. Knowme-Bench reconstructs each narrative into a flashback-aware, time-anchored stream and evaluates models with evidence-linked questions spanning factual recall, subjective state attribution, and principle-level reasoning. Across diverse narrative sources, retrieval-augmented systems mainly improve factual accuracy, while errors persist on temporally grounded explanations and higher-level inferences, highlighting the need for memory mechanisms beyond retrieval.
