Tool use, function calling, orchestration and the protocols that let models act rather than only answer.
arXiv:2608. 06699v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic multimodal large language models (MLLMs) extend multimodal perception and reasoning with planning, tool use, and interaction in dynamic environments.
arXiv:2608. 06735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved strong results in improving large language models (LLMs) on tasks with stationary, verifiable rewards, such as mathematical reasoning and code execution.
arXiv:2608. 06871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complex systems, core objects of study in artificial life, model diverse phenomena through nonlinear, feedback-driven interactions that produce emergent behavior, with applications from population dynamics and biology to economic policy and strategic decision-making.
arXiv:2608. 06931v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly involved in scientific discovery, yet it remains unclear whether they can support complex real laboratory science.
arXiv:2608. 06949v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prior benchmarking work has shown that a single large language model (LLM), forced to make life-or-death resource-allocation decisions, exhibits measurable demographic bias.
arXiv:2608. 06961v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early-stage molecular design is an iterative process, not just a task of generating molecules.
arXiv:2608. 06706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent world models plan by predicting future states from an action, but when a scene contains motion the agent does not control, they quietly go action-blind: predictions for different actions become indistinguishable even as the training loss keeps improving.
arXiv:2608. 06948v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI models are becoming increasingly adept at understanding and processing spatial information, thereby facilitating agentic problem-solving in spatial tasks and workflows.
arXiv:2608. 06968v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language-model agents act on state encodings of their environment, yet these are treated as interchangeable interfaces.
arXiv:2608. 06953v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent memory systems compress what they store, and compression is built to drop qualifiers, so a claim's epistemic standing tends not to survive being written to memory.
arXiv:2608. 06485v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personality-conditioned LLM agents (PC-Agents) are increasingly used in emotional support, social simulation, and role-playing, motivating the development of lifelong agents that remain coherent over extended interactions.
arXiv:2608. 06865v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The malicious use of generative artificial intelligence to create highly realistic deepfake videos raises serious ethical concerns and poses substantial challenges to AI safety.
arXiv:2608. 07454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The total synthesis of a complex molecule is among the most demanding intellectual and experimental feats in chemistry: a chemist must plan many steps ahead for how to assemble simple building blocks into an intricate target, devise backup strategies, and anticipate procedural challenges.
arXiv:2608. 07126v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most CubeSats, small and low-cost satellites roughly the size of a shoebox, do not survive as long as they were designed to: a study of 178 missions found that only 48-65% remain operational after two years, against a designed lifetime of 2-5 years.
arXiv:2608. 07148v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern manufacturing imposes six coupled demands on adaptive control: local decisions with global consequences, partial observability, nonstationarity, reflex speed response with long horizon effects, delayed and diffuse outcomes, and dynamics that resist explicit modeling.
arXiv:2608. 06397v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic execution seeks to explore feasible program paths, yet a practical run may exhaust its resources while much program behaviour remains unreached.
arXiv:2608. 07196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many methods for automated multi-agent system design optimize prompts and topologies during an initial design stage and then deploy the resulting system unchanged on subsequent samples.
arXiv:2608. 07169v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory systems have shown promise for improving agent performance, but their potential remains largely unexplored for small language models, which struggle to generate sufficient successful trajectories on their own.
arXiv:2608. 07418v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In medical education, physicians convert academic knowledge into clinical expertise through residency: years of training across thousands of encounters, with diverse sources of feedback and progressively greater autonomy.
arXiv:2509. 10317v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The article describes the development of a hybrid social robot control architecture to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches, where behavior scripts manually synchronize the robot's actions and text, and existing methods focus primarily on short dialogue responses.
