arXiv:2602. 11351v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Proactive large language model (LLM) agents aim to actively plan, query, and interact over multiple turns, enabling efficient task completion beyond passive instruction following and making them essential for real-world, user-centric applications.

arXiv:2511. 04500v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as decision-making agents in high-stakes domains and as imitators of human behavior in the social and behavioral sciences.

arXiv:2605. 22240v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Proactive task-oriented dialogue (TOD), such as outbound sales, demands a persuasive agent that actively probes the user's concerns and steers the conversation toward acceptance within a bounded number of turns.

arXiv:2607. 24780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating frontier LLMs is challenging: static benchmarks suffer from contamination and saturation -- leaving users unable to distinguish top models and developers blind to specific failure modes -- while human preference is subjective.

arXiv:2606. 02965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Benchmarks for autonomous agents measure whether agents complete tasks, yet this framing is systematically blind to whether an agent should have proceeded at all.

arXiv:2603. 00656v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Real-world user requests to LLM agents are often underspecified.

arXiv:2606. 08200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating LLM-powered interactive social agents is challenging because socially relevant behaviors depend not only on isolated outputs, but also on prior interactions, social roles, and downstream actions.

arXiv:2606. 14199v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed as human simulators for interactive evaluation and social simulation.

arXiv:2607. 16610v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon AI agents are becoming increasingly capable, yet their interaction with users remains surprisingly thin.
By Chen Chen, Zhehuai Chen
arXiv:2606. 16307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training tool-augmented LLM agents requires large corpora of multi-turn, tool-grounded conversational data that is expensive to annotate, privacy-constrained in production settings, and largely absent from public datasets.

arXiv:2607. 16204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent growth in reinforcement learning (RL) has surfaced a need for diverse, specialized training environments.

arXiv:2607. 10059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for autonomous tasks, yet existing evaluations mostly focus on task success rather than whether agents know when to abstain.
