The paper introduces ActObs, a supervised fine‑tuning method that, unlike standard approaches, also predicts environment observations in agent trajectories. While both ActObs and action‑only training perform similarly after initial fine‑tuning, ActObs diverges during subsequent reinforcement learning, yielding higher pass@k scores on several benchmarks and better cross‑domain task performance. The authors attribute this advantage to ActObs’s joint supervision, which preserves observation gradients and prevents the policy from over‑specializing on actions alone.

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.

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.
