CalibForge: Adversarial Solver Calibration for Scaling Learnable Terminal Tasks
Training terminal agents requires executable and verifiable tasks that are not merely solvable, but appropriately challenging for learning. Executable validation establishes feasibility, yet does not reveal how a task behaves relative to a given solver setting. In this paper, we present CalibForge, an autonomous terminal-task synthesis system that uses verified solver behavior to revise candidate tasks through adversarial solver calibration. Multi-solver calibration targets disagreement within a heterogeneous solver pool, whereas contrastive solver calibration targets a designated strong-pass/weak-fail relation; both operationalize a solver-relative learnable zone anchored in demonstrated solvability. Using CalibForge, we construct 5,431 calibrated terminal tasks. Our ablations show that both strategies yield more effective supervision than authoring and validation alone or ordinary single-solver feedback. Models trained on the full collection achieve 32.58% and 47.57% on Terminal-Bench 2.0. The largest improvements over the corresponding base model reach 24.71 percentage points on Terminal-Bench 2.0, 27.68 points on SWE-bench Pro, and 30.04 points on Doc2Repo. Together, these results support solver-relative learnability as a practical target for constructing effective and transferable agent training data.
Unified Synthesis of Compositional Speech and Sound from Free-Form Text Prompts
Audio generation has made significant progress, yet synthesizing unified audio where speech and sounds are naturally composited remains a challenge. Current methods either rely on disjoint pipelines, which fail to capture fine-grained interactions, or require structured inputs and external text rewriting, which limits the flexibility of free-form text prompts. In this paper, we introduce a new task: Free-Form-Text-Prompt-to-Unified-Audio generation, which aims to directly synthesize unified audio containing speech, sound, and their composites from unconstrained natural language. To address this task, we propose PlanAudio, a unified, autoregressive LLM-based framework. First, it simplifies the model architecture by leveraging intrinsic LLM reasoning capability instead of traditional text encoders. Second, it introduces a semantic latent chain-of-thought mechanism, an implicit planning mechanism that bridges high-level semantic understanding and low-level acoustic synthesis. Furthermore, we create PlanAudio-Bench, a specialized benchmark for evaluating composite audio scenarios. We perform evaluations in the scenarios of speech, sound, and their composites. The results demonstrate that PlanAudio generally outperforms the existing pipeline and unified baselines, while staying competitive with models designed for a single scenario. Our analysis further reveals the superiority of semantic latent CoT over other CoT mechanisms and highlights the importance of continuous multi-scenario training curricula.
