arXiv:2607. 23982v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cooperation can fail when socially valuable effort is costly, weakly observable, and mainly benefits others.
arXiv:2606. 08875v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing large language models (LLMs) for long-horizon caregiver agents requires balancing delayed task objectives with immediate environment dynamics, such as patient distress and resistance.

arXiv:2607. 22724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Group-based policy optimization has been increasingly used to train large language model (LLM) agents from sparse outcome rewards by comparing trajectories or steps within a group.
arXiv:2606. 32017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic reinforcement learning requires assigning credit to environment-facing actions such as searches, clicks, edits, navigation commands, and object interactions.
arXiv:2603. 06194v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models (LLMs) has shown strong performance in single-turn tasks, but extending it to multi-turn interaction remains challenging due to sparse rewards and poor per-turn credit assignment.
arXiv:2606. 09961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training large language models (LLMs) as autonomous agents via reinforcement learning (RL) has enabled frontier models to achieve superhuman performance in long-horizon tasks.
arXiv:2607. 16204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent growth in reinforcement learning (RL) has surfaced a need for diverse, specialized training environments.
arXiv:2607. 08716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act.
arXiv:2606. 15385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reward hacking, where AI systems exploit misspecified objectives to achieve high reward without satisfying intended goals, remains a central challenge in AI safety.
arXiv:2605. 17877v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A significant hurdle for current LLMs is the execution of complex, multi-stage tasks.
In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act. As trajectories grow, task requirements, environment facts, prior attempts, diagnoses, and open subgoals can be buried in the context window or pushed beyond it, failing to influence decisions when needed.
arXiv:2608. 16156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon large language model (LLM) agents are typically optimized with sparse terminal outcomes, making fine-grained credit assignment across multi-step interactions difficult.
arXiv:2608. 02508v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning-based memory systems for self-evolving LLM agents face two tightly coupled challenges.
