arXiv:2606. 31422v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Language agents acting over long horizons must maintain beliefs about tool states, object locations, graph edges, and subgoal dependencies.
arXiv:2606. 31422v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon language agents do not only choose actions; they carry a private model of the world from one decision to the next.
arXiv:2606. 02372v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Equipping language agents with world models enables them to anticipate environment dynamics and evaluate candidate actions before execution.
CoMAP introduces a framework that jointly evolves textual world models and agent policies through a closed‑loop interaction. At each decision step the world model forecasts future state feedback for candidate actions, while the agent reflects on the reliability of this feedback to refine its action. The resulting on‑policy trajectories are used to self‑distill and update the world model, improving prediction accuracy and long‑horizon decision‑making across embodied planning, web navigation, and tool‑use 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:2609.00455v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are being used as policies for autonomous decision-making and planning in many domains. Despite their strong reasoning cap...
