Simulated environments enable scalable training data generation for embodied agents, but more data does not necessarily provide what a particular agent needs to learn. Existing environment-generation...

ActiveSaddler introduces automated curriculum learning for harness optimization, treating the evolving training curriculum as a non‑stationary bandit problem. It identifies reusable failure patterns, estimates learning progress for each, and balances revisiting known weaknesses with exploring new scenarios, allowing the curriculum to co‑evolve with the harness. Experiments on GAIA2 and Terminal‑Bench 2.0 show consistent improvements in harness performance, with Pass@1 gains of 4.4 and 7.5 percentage points over fixed‑order baselines.

The paper introduces "environment evolution," a method that incrementally raises the difficulty of interactive environments off‑policy, scheduling their generation across training generations to supply continuous learning signals. It derives three evolution directions tied to a multi‑turn learning objective and implements them via a loop‑engineered multi‑agent harness. Experiments with models such as Hy4 preview, Claude Opus 5, GPT‑5.6 Sol, Qwen3.6‑27B, and Qwen3.6‑35B‑A3B demonstrate that this approach consistently creates harder environments and boosts terminal‑agent performance on Terminal‑Bench 2.1 by 14.4–18.0 percentage points.

EvoBelief is a self‑evolving world model that represents environment knowledge as falsifiable hypotheses, allowing an LLM agent to update its beliefs during deployment. The system generates hypotheses when unexpected outcomes or unknowns arise, validates them through observations and controlled experiments, and then uses the confirmed rules to guide predictions or plans. Across benchmarks such as ALFWorld, MiniGrid, and DiscoveryWorld, EvoBelief improves task performance, revises stale rules, and discovers quantitative laws, outperforming baseline frozen world models.
