    It is well-known that RANDAO manipulation is possible in Ethereum if an adversary controls the proposers assigned to the last slots in an epoch. We provide a methodology to compute, for any fraction α of stake owned by an adversary, the maximum fraction f(α) of rounds that a strategic adversary can propose. We further implement our methodology and compute f(⋅) for all α. For example, we conclude that an optimal strategic participant with 5% of the stake can propose a 5.048% fraction of rounds, 10% of the stake can propose a 10.19% fraction of rounds, and 20% of the stake can propose a 20.68% fraction of rounds.

  2. Planning is a critical aspect of multi-step reasoning, yet it remains challenging for large language models (LLMs). In this work, we use pathfinding in graphs as a sandbox for understanding and improving the planning abilities of LLMs. Our results show that while conventional autoregressive training generalizes poorly, an anchoring strategy, whereby a model first predicts a small subset of intermediate nodes along the path, significantly improves the path finding performance. We confirm these gains on two families of graphs with markedly different structures and provide preliminary heuristics for selecting effective anchor nodes, offering guidance for more realistic settings.
