SWE-MiniSandbox: Container-Free Reinforcement Learning for Building Software Engineering Agents

arXiv:2602.11210v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a key paradigm for training software engineering (SWE) agents, but existing pipelines typically rely on per-task containers for isolation. At scale, pre-built container images incur substantial storage overhead, slow environment setup, and require container-management privileges. We propose SWE-MiniSandbox, a lightweight, container-free method that enables scalable RL training of SWE agents without...

Ultra-Fast Implementation of Multivariate GWAS in Genomic SEM Using Flexible Analytic Estimation

Many medical, physiological, and psychiatric traits and disorders are highly polygenic and exhibit complex patterns of genetic sharing and differentiation. In 2018, we introduced Genomic Structural Equation Modelling (Genomic SEM) as a formal framework and free, open source, R-based software for modelling the multivariate genetic architecture of both continuous and binary Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) phenotypes, interrogating their joint and distinct functional genomic pathways, and...

Nobody needs Mythos or 0-days to build a chaos-causing computer worm – free open source models work just fine

There's a lot of fear surrounding the bug-finding capabilities of super-advanced AI models like Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's GPT 5.5-Cyber. But attackers are already using free, publicly available LLMs to hijack networks and worm through software supply chains at a much lower cost – to them at least. The latest example comes from University of Toronto researchers, who used an unnamed, publicly available open-weight model released in 2025 to develop a computer worm that they claim spread...
