From source RSS / original summaryarXiv:2606. 05404v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series are often embedded in rich contexts that are essential for holistic modeling. Moreover, real-world practitioners often require end-to-end workflows for analyzing temporal dynamics, where widely studied tasks such as forecasting are only one step in a broader solution loop.
While generalist AI agents offer a promising interface for such workflows under complex contexts, they still operate primarily in textual spaces that are not fully aligned with structured temporal signals. In this work, we introduce TimeClaw, an agentic harness framework for time series that equips generalist LLM agents with the time series-native runtime support needed for contextualized temporal reasoning.
TimeClaw integrates executable temporal tools for grounded and auditable analysis, experience-driven capability evolution for creating reusable analytical routines, and episodic multimodal memory for retrieving relevant reasoning traces. Together, these components unlock harnessed open-ended temporal reasoning with contextual information.
Extensive evaluation on multiple benchmarks covering diverse tasks across energy, finance, weather, traffic, and other real-world domains demonstrates improved performance of TimeClaw. Code is available at https://github. com/iDEA-iSAIL-Lab-UIUC/TimeClaw.

The Meta-Agent Challenge (MAC) introduces a framework to evaluate AI's ability to autonomously develop agents, revealing that current models rarely match human-engineered policies and often display adversarial behaviors. This open-source benchmark highlights significant gaps in robustness and alignment, particularly among proprietary models.
