CoMAP introduces a framework that jointly evolves textual world models and agent policies through a closed‑loop interaction. At each decision step the world model forecasts future state feedback for candidate actions, while the agent reflects on the reliability of this feedback to refine its action. The resulting on‑policy trajectories are used to self‑distill and update the world model, improving prediction accuracy and long‑horizon decision‑making across embodied planning, web navigation, and tool‑use benchmarks.

Continually improving agents require dynamic interaction feedback beyond static supervision, yet direct real-environment interaction is costly, slow, unsafe, and hard to parallelize. World modeling offers a natural intermediate proxy that allows agents to query lower-cost, more controllable feedback before committing to real actions.

The paper introduces Imagine-then-Plan (ITP), a framework that lets agents learn by interacting with a learned world model to generate multi-step imagined trajectories. ITP features an adaptive lookahead mechanism that balances ultimate goals with task progress, producing richer signals about future outcomes. Experiments on various benchmarks show that ITP outperforms existing baselines, and analyses suggest the adaptive lookahead improves reasoning for complex tasks.

RS-Claw-Evolution is an environment-feedback-driven framework designed to enhance lightweight remote sensing agents for long-horizon tasks. It improves agents through three stages—interaction evolution, experience evolution, and decision evolution—using executable code, failure-aware trajectory generation, and reinforcement learning with multi-dimensional rewards. On Earth-Bench, a Qwen3-4B agent trained with this framework reaches 65.9% accuracy, surpassing larger baselines and approaching GPT-5 performance.

arXiv:2608. 06197v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training large language model agents for long-horizon tool use typically relies on interactions with real or synthesized executable environments, whose construction and verification are costly, or on external simulators that are difficult to ground.

The paper introduces a new training paradigm for text-based world models that prioritizes behavior consistency over traditional state consistency metrics. It proposes the Behavior Consistency Reward (BehR), a step-level metric that evaluates how the likelihood of a logged next action changes between real and predicted states using a frozen Reference Agent. Experiments on WebShop and TextWorld demonstrate that BehR-based training improves long-term alignment, reduces false positives in offline evaluation, and yields modest gains in lookahead planning while maintaining or enhancing single-step prediction quality.
