EnvACE: Internalizing Environment Dynamics via World Rehearsal for Agentic Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2608. 06197v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training large language model agents for long-horizon tool use typically relies on interactions with real or synthesized executable environments, whose construction and verification are costly, or on external simulators that are difficult to ground.

HarnessOpt-Bench: Evaluating LLMs at Harness Optimization

arXiv:2608. 06301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLMs are increasingly deployed within agentic systems, their capabilities depend not only on the model weights but also on the harness: the prompts, tools, control flow, memory, and orchestration code surrounding them.

EvoHarness-RL: Learning Self-Evolving Runtime Harness for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

arXiv:2608. 05446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents increasingly rely on external execution support to maintain state, track progress, invoke tools, verify outcomes, and reuse experience across interactions.

WorldClaw: Agentic 3D Open-World Generation at Scale

arXiv:2608. 05248v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generating large-scale, freely explorable 3D worlds from open-ended text remains challenging because a system must jointly maintain global spatial coherence, rich local content, and explicit assets suitable for downstream editing and reuse.

DoctorAgents: an agentic framework to iteratively refine AutoML pipeline for small clinical temporal data

arXiv:2608. 05375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical machine learning (ML) has the potential to support high-stakes medical decision-making, but reliable deployment is often constrained by scarce, heterogeneous, and temporal complexity.
