Position: It is Time to Virtualize Foundation Models with a Self-evolving Operating System Layer

arXiv:2609.19203v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI applications have shifted from single, monolithic foundation models (FM) to compound agentic systems. Yet today's stacks remain fragmented: even as protocols (e.g., MCP, A2A) ease tool/agent connectivity, each framework embeds an implicit runtime for state, memory, budgets, and guardrails, making behavior non-portable and governance brittle. It mirrors computing before operating systems, when every program re-implemented basic services.

Closed-World Resolution Against Tool Hallucination in LLM Agents

arXiv:2609.19425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-augmented large language model (LLM) agents fail in a way no tool-selection or tool-security method addresses: they call tools that do not exist and pass arguments no schema declares. Existing defenses either pick the right tool (selection) or constrain what an agent may do with real tools (gating), both of which presuppose the emitted call refers to a real tool at all. We show this is a structural blind spot: a hallucinated call is by construction not a decision any gate made, so no gate can reject it. This paper is primarily a measurement

Expressing glycan motifs as a containment order increases sensitivity and uncovers motif redistributions

Glycan motifs are the standard readout of comparative glycomics, and pipelines treat them as independent features. Here, we show they are not. Motifs are partially ordered by substructure containment, so a parent motif's abundance dominates each of its children. We make that order explicit as a directed acyclic graph, which stratifies the multiple-testing family correctly and, together with an empirical-Bayes variance prior taken from each motif's containment neighborhood, raises estimated true positives across 45 glycomics datasets from 300 to 442 (+47%, p = 0.0001) after controlling for perm

DU-NO: A Parameter-Efficient Double U-Shaped Neural Operator for Phase-Resolving Wave Modeling

arXiv:2609.12115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Phase-resolving wave models such as FUNWAVE-TVD are the accuracy standard for nearshore dynamics, resolving the shoaling, refraction, and breaking of individual waves, but their cost rules them out for the ensembles, uncertainty quantification, and real-time warning that operational forecasting demands. Neural operators promise solver-level accuracy at a fraction of that cost, yet on wave-dominated fields the accurate ones are large: hybrid spectral-convolutional operators such as U-FNO (the strongest baseline in our study after DU-NO) buy their

Soft Symbol Grounding for Prototypical Concepts

arXiv:2609.12247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neuro-symbolic models are usually trained with supervision only on final labels, leaving the intermediate concepts unobserved. Since many concept assignments are consistent with a given label, training can predict labels correctly while recovering the wrong concepts, a failure known as a reasoning shortcut. Prototypical networks reduce shortcuts by anchoring each concept to a few labeled examples, but existing methods still couple perception and reasoning through a hand-crafted, task-specific differentiable loss that must be redesigned for every

An interpretable peptide-HLA model emergently learns binding energetics and structure

The range of peptides a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) binds and displays modulates immune response and therefore underpins vaccine design, neoantigen discovery, autoimmunity, transplantation, and hypersensitivity reactions. Modern predictors of peptide-HLA (pMHC) binding and presentation are remarkably accurate, but they are black boxes; their internal computations are opaque and post-hoc explanatory methods lack guarantees of attribution. Here we introduce LAtent Motif INteraction Aggregation (LAMINA), an architecture whose prediction is, by construction, interpretable and attributable. LAMIN
