arXiv:2606. 03685v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) improves end-to-end classical planning in large language models (LLMs), but do these models also learn to represent and reason about the planning problems they are solving?

arXiv:2606. 09028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models are increasingly used for control and goal-conditioned planning, yet assessing whether their learned representations are useful for planning usually requires slow, planner-coupled simulator evaluation with CEM or similar planners.

GAVEL is a framework that uses an explicit graph world model to verify and repair long‑horizon plans generated by large language models (LLMs). The graph encodes object relations, action pre‑conditions and effects, and probabilistic beliefs about unobserved object locations, allowing the system to predict action outcomes, detect violations, and repair them before execution. In experiments on BEHAVIOR‑1K, GAVEL boosts single‑task success from 41.2 % to 91.8 % and multi‑task success from 19.9 % to 92.6 %, while also reducing travel distance by about 5.4 % compared with a static variant.

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.

PlannerForge is a unified LLM‑agent framework that covers the entire scenario‑based testing pipeline for autonomous driving systems, from scenario generation to ADS assessment, and adds ADS enhancement and benchmarking stages. It was evaluated with ten off‑the‑shelf LLMs across all tasks and five prompt conditions, achieving best‑per‑task scores between 0.88 and 1.00 and matching commercial APIs with open‑source models such as Qwen3.6:35B. The end‑to‑end chaining retains 83% of seed queries for commercial backends and 78% for open‑source, outperforming existing tools like Scenario Factory 2.0 and BM25 in natural‑language generation, attribute realization, and physically valid edits.
whyItMatters":"PlannerForge demonstrates that a single LLM‑based system can streamline and improve the fragmented scenario‑based testing workflow for autonomous driving, achieving high performance without domain‑specific fine‑tuning."

arXiv:2607. 00627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are powerful pattern-completion systems, but their default operating mode - predicting the next token from a static context - does not reliably produce persistent, manipulable representations of an external world.
