TACT: Mitigating Overthinking and Overacting in Coding Agents via Activation Steering

概要

arXiv:2605.05980v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When language model agents tackle complex software engineering tasks, they often degrade over long trajectories, which we define as *agent drift*. We focus on two recurring failure modes *overthinking* and *overacting*, i.e., where the agent repeatedl…
