AI Papers Week in Review: June 8–14, 2026 Jun 14, 2026 2816 This week (Jun 8–14, 2026) the show kept circling one uncomfortable idea: the bottleneck for modern AI agents is usually not the model's raw intelligence but the scaffolding, verifiers, and reward signals we wrap around it. Several papers showed you can leave a frozen model untouched and win huge gains by fixing the plumbing — diagnosing broken harnesses, formally verifying workflows, learning the
