arXiv:2609.24744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language agents solve complex tasks through plans and actions. A single step the world refuses puts the goal out of reach, and what the agent does next...
World Models in Pieces: Structural Certification for General Agents
arXiv:2606. 24842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the big-world regime, agents cannot be universally capable and their ability is inevitably specialized across a world model in pieces.

LLM-BabyBench: Can Language Models Plan in Worlds They Can Simulate?
LLM‑BabyBench transforms the BabyAI gridworld into a fully observable, purely textual setting that isolates planning as the sole source of failure. By serialising the entire grid, providing formal instructions, and validating actions deterministically, the benchmark introduces the PPD suite—Predict, Plan, and Decompose tasks—each scored with metrics that separate mission understanding from sequencing. Across a range of large language models, simulation accuracy is high while planning success drops sharply beyond a model‑specific horizon, revealing that plan length—not grid size—drives failure and that models often commit to a single corridor‑shaped route without backtracking.

SAGE: Subgoal-Conditioned Action Generation for Latent World Model Planning
arXiv:2607. 17973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models have emerged as a powerful planning paradigm by learning action-conditioned predictive dynamics and using them as internal simulators to imagine and evaluate candidate action sequences.

Training the Orchestrator: A Supervised Approach to End-to-End PDDL Planning with LLM Agents
Translating natural-language planning intent into verified plans is a longstanding challenge: people communicate goals in language, while classical planners require formal PDDL specifications. Recent agentic frameworks bridge this gap by orchestrating a pool of specialized repair agents inside a verifier-checked refinement loop, but the orchestrator at the centre is itself a prompted frontier LLM, paying a frontier-LLM API call at every refinement step.

Explore More, Drift Less: Outcome-Only Reinforcement Learning Can Suffice for Long-Horizon Interactive Agents
The paper proposes CANOPY, a minimalist reinforcement learning protocol that addresses two common pitfalls—signal starvation and policy drift—in outcome‑only RL for long‑horizon interactive tasks. By scaling same‑task exploration, keeping updates on‑policy, and anchoring updates with KL divergence, CANOPY enables a Qwen3‑14B agent to achieve top leaderboard results on the AppWorld coding benchmark without auxiliary supervision or elaborate scaffolding. The approach also improves performance on SWE‑bench for a Qwen3.5‑9B model.

Beyond Prediction: Steering VLM Agents with Retrospective World Modeling
The paper introduces Retrospective World Modeling, a new paradigm for vision‑language‑model (VLM) agents that allows them to reason backward by estimating which action most likely caused a state transition. It proposes the Self‑Consistency Reward (SCR), an intrinsic signal that measures how well a policy action aligns with this retrospective explanation, providing dense transition‑level feedback. Experiments demonstrate that incorporating SCR improves policy robustness and generalization compared to purely prospective world‑modeling approaches.
