arXiv:2606. 04970v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We envision a proactive multi-modal assistant system which gives users real-time step-by-step guidance on a procedural task, autonomously deciding \textit{when} to interrupt, and \textit{how} to coach.
arXiv:2609. 03241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A reasoning model can improve from its own on-policy experience, but this inner loop is fragile: terminal verifiers provide reliable yet sparse supervision, while dense same-model guidance can reinforce false confidence or overconcentrate learning on a narrow solution mode.
FLARE introduces a dense supervision paradigm for long‑horizon coding agents, leveraging a Generative Reward Model (GRM) trained via the RADAR diagnostic framework. The GRM provides real‑time, step‑level risk feedback, enabling FLARE to act as an active scaffold that intercepts high‑risk steps during inference and supplies structured signals for post‑training fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments show FLARE outperforms existing methods, achieving a 5× reduction in token consumption and significant performance gains in both supervised fine‑tuning and RL settings.

The paper introduces PARTS, a real‑world subtask reinforcement learning framework that fine‑tunes a pretrained robot policy by focusing on critical bottleneck subtasks while keeping the base policy frozen. It uses agent‑generated selectors and success verifiers to provide local rewards, enabling learning even when full‑task successes are rare. Experiments on bimanual YAM and single‑arm Franka robots show that PARTS raises complete‑task success from 32% to 61% and from 50% to 95%, respectively, with only tens of minutes of real‑world RL rollouts and minimal human intervention.
arXiv:2608. 07449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents increasingly adapt to recurring tasks by accumulating procedural knowledge in skills.
Terminal‑RSI is a new framework for terminal agents that alternates Recursive Self‑Rewrite (RSR) of verified trajectories with Recursive Policy‑Refine (RPR) that inherits a critic. It introduces TB‑GAE for token‑specific baselines, Family Dense Reward (FDR) and Success‑Prioritized Reward (SPR) to calibrate progress, and uses a warm‑up critic, recursive handoff, and stage‑specific learning rates to coordinate the two refinement phases. The five‑stage pipeline applied to Qwen3.8‑27B produces Terminal‑RSI‑27B, achieving 19.84 % on Terminal‑Bench 4.0, 86.52 % on Terminal‑Bench 2.1, 16.95 % on Terminal‑Bench 3.0, and 79.00 % on Terminal‑Bench Hard, while improving process reward and strict completion on LHTB.
