AgentMercury: Your Agent Can Synthesize Verifiable Environments for Business Scenarios at scale

AgentMercury is a scalable framework that synthesizes executable environments from high‑level business scenarios instead of task‑specific benchmarks. It creates a persistent world with entities, services, tools, and invariants, allowing diverse tasks and interaction trajectories to emerge naturally. The authors generated 4,783 environments across 14 industries and 50 countries, and training reinforcement‑learning agents on them improved performance on enterprise workflows and out‑of‑domain benchmarks, while the construction process itself can be learned to increase authoring success.

SKILLER: Language-Level Reinforcement Learning for Reusable Skill Extraction in Small Language Models

Agent skills represent a standardized format for packaging procedural knowledge and domain expertise, serving within agent harness systems as an essential mechanism to continually constrain a language model's behavior space for repeatable, high-quality task execution. However, because strong closed-source models entail high inference costs, current popular agent harnesses, such as Codex and OpenClaw, remain prohibitively expensive when deploying these skills to accomplish real-world tasks.

IAPO: Influence-Aware Policy Optimization for Credit Assignment in Multi-Turn Service Agents

The paper introduces Influence-Aware Policy Optimization (IAPO), a method that models multi‑turn agent rollouts as typed influence‑dependency graphs to better assign credit to actions based on how information and errors flow through user and tool interactions. IAPO transforms the structure of support and failure usage into routing weights that redistribute trajectory‑level advantage, enabling more effective learning from sparse final rewards. Experiments with Qwen3‑4B and Qwen3‑8B on three service‑agent benchmarks show that IAPO outperforms existing multi‑turn reinforcement learning baselines without harming function‑calling performance.
