From Economic Agents to Agentic Economies: A Systems Blueprint for Economic World Models

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.

SkillMOO: Multi-Objective Optimization of Agent Skills for Software Engineering

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.

Refining Over Resampling: Test-Time Self-Correction for LLM Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 05643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling improves LLM reasoning by using additional inference compute, but wider sampling alone can suffer from diminishing returns: new rollouts often repeat existing answer patterns instead of adding useful reasoning diversity.

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.
