Terminal-Universe is a framework that converts large collections of terminal-based agent trajectories into reusable, executable environments. By replaying recorded file operations and filling missing files with a completion agent, it reconstructs the original workspace and generates new tasks, scaling them in breadth (cross-workspace queries) and depth (multi-round interactions). The resulting 37.3k task-sufficient environments enable significant performance gains when fine‑tuning language models on terminal‑centric benchmarks.

The paper introduces the Agent-Editing World Model (AEWM), a new approach that models how reasoning and actions influence future task progress instead of simulating tool responses. AEWM includes an Action Judge that classifies decisions as Critical, Exploratory, or Noisy, and a State Revision mechanism that edits noisy reasoning–action continuations from the same observed history. The integrated system, EditAct, directly updates the underlying state during real execution, leading to significant performance gains across multiple benchmarks and agent backbones.

arXiv:2608. 05466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-quality long-horizon training data for terminal agents is expensive to produce, often costing hundreds to thousands of dollars per task, because each task must keep the instruction, environment, reference solution, and verifier mutually consistent.

arXiv:2606. 11520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training capable OS agents requires data that simultaneously captures structured user intents, multi-turn task delegation, and grounded tool execution--properties absent from existing datasets.

arXiv:2607. 13034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly automate multi-step engineering and informatics workflows, yet they rarely ask how much effort a task actually requires.

arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.
