UnverifiedForms of misalignment in coding agents include goal drift, shortcut behavior, scope creep, and opaque decision-making.77% similarUnverifiedThe multi-step chained working mode of edge agents causes single-inference latency to be amplified across multiple steps.75% similarUnverifiedA single execution-type agent exhibits three typical problems during long-running tasks: goal drift, shortcut-taking, and mid-task cessation73% similarVerifiedThe agent architecture uses a "plan-execute-reflect" loop to handle complex tasks, unlike traditional large models that perform single-pass inference.73% similarUnverifiedPrompt drift refers to the phenomenon in which model behavior gradually deviates from the original intent of instructions during long conversations or complex tasks, and is related to the dilution of Transformer attention weights as sequence length increases.72% similar
