arXiv:2607. 10203v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive-compute world models -- early-exit or mixture-of-depths predictors that spend variable depth per step -- assume depth buys better predictions and can be routed adaptively.

arXiv:2607. 06925v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compact world models that condition on a language goal promise to ground relations such as ``put the red block left of the blue block'' using a sparse set of explicit \emph{reference anchors}.

arXiv:2607. 16821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task arithmetic, sequential fine-tuning, activation steering, and first-order random search all operate through relatively small perturbations around an already trained checkpoint, and they rely on different local approximations: individual perturbations should be first-order predictable, task updates should compose with controlled interference, useful tangent structure should be stable and possible to estimate, and weight edits should have counterparts in representation space.

arXiv:2608. 00675v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive models accumulate error over long rollouts, yet at deployment there is no ground truth to measure it against.

arXiv:2607. 28166v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion language models expose a provisional prediction at every denoising step, and on many tasks the candidate answer inside it stabilizes before the step schedule is exhausted.

arXiv:2606. 03003v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A latent world model built from an equivariant encoder $E$ and an equivariant predictor $f$ inherits a provable symmetry of its training loss: when the world's dynamics genuinely carries a group $G$ acting on latents by an orthogonal representation $\rho(g)$, the one-step prediction relMSE is exactly invariant across the whole group, so fitting the dynamics on a restricted slice of orientations mathematically determines it on the entire orbit (j\v{u} y\=i f\v{a}n s\=an).

arXiv:2607. 28074v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer-use agents learn from what their actions change, so training one needs applications it can act on, break and reset.

arXiv:2607. 21273v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Dense per-step supervision is the standard remedy for sparse-reward long-horizon LLM agents: reward the policy for predicting its next observation, which looks provably safe under potential-based shaping.

arXiv:2607. 10362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models are trained to predict future states in a learned representation and are then deployed inside a planner that selects actions by simulating them forward.

Computer-use agents learn from what their actions change, so training one needs applications it can act on, break and reset. The applications that matter most are login-gated and stateful, so synthetic environments stand in for them.
arXiv:2608. 11233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A dense, pretrained language model can be retrofitted with recurrent depth and learn an iterative latent transition that persists after outcome-only annealing.

arXiv:2607. 17136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic computer-use RL is reported in single runs, and those numbers mislead.
