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.

Despite their strong reasoning capabilities and extensive world knowledge, Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently generate plans that violate task constraints, undermining their reliability in real-world applications. This deficiency arises from a lack of systematic mechanisms to incorporate constraint information during the generation process.
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.

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:2608. 20237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) combine linguistic reasoning with visual perception, yet their ability to perform visual spatial planning under explicit or previously unseen rule constraints remains underexplored.

GRASP is a multi-stage planning framework that improves the reliability of large language models on complex tasks. It separates planning into three specialized modules—GenPlan for global macro-guidelines, RevPlan for exploring localized strategies, and VerPlan for multi-criteria evaluation—allowing context isolation and strict macro-regularization. Experiments show GRASP outperforms direct LLM planners by significant margins on datasets such as Natural Plan Calendar Scheduling, ZebraLogic, and SciBench Math, and it mitigates performance collapse in multi-task and dual-task settings.
