Agents and Tokens: Multi-Agent Autonomous Reasoning over a Hydrodynamic Token Store

The paper introduces a framework that compresses coastal hydrodynamic data—tide levels, non‑tidal residuals, and surface wind speeds—into compact token grids using vector‑quantized variational autoencoders. These tokens enable multi‑agent autonomous reasoning systems to traverse and analyze six months of coastal data in seconds, outperforming traditional raw archive access. The approach demonstrates that agents can perform complex spatiotemporal analyses and answer under‑specified queries efficiently on both on‑prem and off‑prem platforms.

OceanGym: A Benchmark Environment for Underwater Embodied Agents

OceanGym is the first comprehensive benchmark for underwater embodied agents, featuring eight realistic task domains and a unified agent framework powered by Multi‑modal Large Language Models (MLLMs). It challenges agents to process optical and sonar data, navigate complex environments, and achieve long‑horizon goals amid low visibility and dynamic currents. Experiments show significant performance gaps between current MLLM agents and human experts, underscoring the difficulty of perception, planning, and adaptability in ocean settings.

Neptune: An AI model for Global Ocean Subseasonal Prediction

Neptune is an end‑to‑end data‑driven framework that emulates global ocean and sea‑ice states for subseasonal‑to‑seasonal (S2S) forecasting up to 60 days. It combines Convolutional Neural Networks and Spherical Fourier Neural Operators to capture both local features and global cross‑scale interactions, producing daily outputs for temperature, salinity, currents, sea‑surface height, and sea‑ice metrics at 1° and 0.25° resolution. Evaluated against metrics such as RMSE, CRPS, ACC, and climate indices (ENSO, IOD), Neptune reproduces the spatio‑temporal evolution of oceanic fields and remains stable over long timescales.

BG4Sea: Biogeochemical Seasonal Forecastability via Progressive Information Scaling

arXiv:2607. 16731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Marine biogeochemical forecasting is increasingly important for managing marine ecosystems and the carbon cycle, yet global, seasonal forecast products lag far behind physical oceanography, held back by the complexity of the processes involved and by data scarcity.

TIDES: Implicit Time-Awareness in Selective State Space Models

TIDES is a new selective state space model that keeps the learned step size equal to the physical time gap, enabling it to handle irregular timestamps while maintaining per‑token expressivity. By moving input dependence from the step size to the diagonal state matrix, TIDES combines the strengths of selective SSMs like Mamba and continuous‑time SSMs like S5. Experiments on a novel Fading Flash benchmark and large‑scale datasets show that TIDES outperforms or matches state‑of‑the‑art models on irregular time‑series tasks.

KairosAgent: Agentic Time Series Forecasting with Fused Semantic Reasoning

KairosAgent is an agentic framework that combines a large language model (LLM) reasoner with a time series foundation model (TSFM) forecaster to tackle cross‑domain multimodal time series forecasting. It dynamically invokes analytical tools to improve the LLM’s numerical comprehension and semantic reasoning, then fuses the reasoning outcomes into the TSFM pipeline for more accurate predictions. The approach is further enhanced by a curated large‑scale trajectory corpus and a reinforcement learning paradigm with multi‑turn refinement and turn‑level credit assignment, achieving superior zero‑shot forecasting performance.
