arXiv:2608. 05784v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents pay full frontier inference to re-derive routines their user has already performed, because an agent's memory today records what the user said, not what the user did.

arXiv:2608. 06020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Economic World Models (EWMs) are generative economic models that simulate how economies evolve from within by modeling heterogeneous agents, their beliefs and actions, and the market and institutional mechanisms through which their interactions produce aggregate outcomes.

arXiv:2604. 09297v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agent skills are increasingly used to configure coding agents for software engineering (SE) tasks, yet current practice treats them as static, hand-crafted assets, or evolved on pass rate alone.

arXiv:2608. 05716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The transition from block-based to text-based programming requires learners to convert visible program structures into abstract textual expressions, which may create a cognitive gap between understanding computational concepts and expressing them in Python syntax.

arXiv:2603. 19229v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: There are two major categories of embodied navigation: Vision-Language Navigation (VLN), where agents navigate by following natural language instructions; and Object-Goal Navigation (OGN), where agents navigate to a specified target object.

arXiv:2608. 05439v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Translating natural language instructions into machine-interpretable formal specifications enables robots and autonomous systems to plan, reason, and formally verify their behavior.

arXiv:2608. 05790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: General-purpose large language model agents have achieved strong performance on tool-augmented tasks, yet they rely on assumptions break down in blockchain environments.

arXiv:2608. 05876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: User requests serve as research specifications for deep research agents, shaping what evidence to seek and how to synthesize it.
By Soojin Yoon, Dongha Lee
arXiv:2608. 05778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prompt-side playbooks can improve tool-using language agents without retraining, but their portability beyond the source setting is unclear.
By Weihong Lin, Lin Sun, Xiangzheng Zhang
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.

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.
