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. 06704v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Delegating a web task involves more than asking a question; it requires transferring a policy: what to verify, how to handle uncertainty, which preferences matter, and when to stop.

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.
