Current evaluations of agents remain centered around one-shot task completion, failing to account for the inherently iterative and collaborative nature of many real-world problems, where human goals are often underspecified and evolve. We…

Edge AI is often framed as model compression and deployment under tight constraints. We argue a stronger operational thesis: Edge AI in realistic deployments is necessarily adaptive. In long-horizon operation, a fixed (non-adaptive)…
