In open-ended environments, exploration is fundamental for autonomous agents, yet current language model agents struggle with this. Effective exploration requires memory, but retaining raw interaction histories is computationally expensive over long trajectories. While latent memory offers a solution to compress interaction histories, its training lacks reliable supervisory signals. We introduce Joint Agent Memory and Exploration Learning (JAMEL), a framework that trains agentic memory and exploration policy together through novelty-driven interaction. We observe that memory and exploration form a mutually dependent loop: sustained exploration requires memory to distinguish exhausted behaviors from unseen ones, while novelty-seeking interaction provides the supervision needed to make memory useful for future exploration. By utilizing deterministic and persistent novelty signals such as code coverage in the GUI domain, we provide natural, annotation-free supervision for the memory modul

On-policy distillation (OPD) has become a central post-training tool for large language models (LLMs), providing dense per-token teacher supervision along the student's own rollouts. In this work, we identify a common structural cause underlying OPD, which we call prefix failure. Under prefix failure, dense per-token supervision induces a bimodal teacher mixture and fragmented gradients that token-level loss truncation or reweighting fail to address. This observation motivates us to move beyond token-level loss interventions toward trajectory-level output corrections. We thus propose Trajectory-Refined Distillation (TRD), a trajectory-level correction method that revises the student's rollout under the teacher guidance while within on-policy support. By correcting problematic prefixes before distillation, TRD mitigates prefix failure at its source. Moreover, TRD improves the exploration by exposing the student to alternative valid derivations under teacher guidance, even when the origi

Large Language Models (LLMs) must continuously learn and update knowledge to remain effective in dynamic real-world environments. While Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is widely used for such memory updates, existing studies mainly rely on qualitative downstream evaluations, leaving the quantitative capacity limits and underlying dynamics of exact parametric memory largely unexplored. To bridge this gap, we employ LoRA as a controlled memory capacity probe within the latent space to systematically quantify exact parametric memory. We introduce the Parametric Memory Law, a robust power law linking loss reduction Delta L to effective parameters and sequence length. At the token level, fine-grained analysis reveals a deterministic phase transition, demonstrating that a prediction probability of p > 0.5 constitutes a sufficient condition for verbatim recall under greedy decoding. Driven by these insights, we introduce MemFT, a threshold-guided optimization strategy that dynamically redistribute

벤치마크만으론 부족하다: 운영 환경의 에이전트 모델 런타임 평가를 위한 RAMP

LLM agents are rapidly evolving from coding assistants into autonomous software engineering systems. However, existing evaluation methodologies remain largely centered on static, isolated, and short-horizon benchmarks that fail to capture the dynamic complexity of real-world production workflows. As a result, benchmark performance may poorly reflect practical capability under realistic runtime environments involving long execution chains, tool interactions, dependency management, and iterative feedback loops. We thus present RAMP, a production-grounded infrastructure for assessing long-horizon software engineering agents. Built upon the YatCC integrated platform, RAMP provides a unified runtime assessment architecture through standardized orchestration and execution interfaces. RAMP introduces realistic compiler-construction workloads with serial dependencies and complex toolchain interactions, together with a staged recovery mechanism for analyzing execution behavior under partial wor

We address the problem of tactile localization, where the goal is to identify image regions that share the same material properties as a tactile input. Existing visuo-tactile methods rely on global alignment and thus fail to capture the fine-grained local correspondences required for this task. The challenge is amplified by existing datasets, which predominantly contain close-up, low-diversity images. We propose a model that learns local visuo-tactile alignment via dense cross-modal feature interactions, producing tactile saliency maps for touch-conditioned material segmentation. To overcome dataset constraints, we introduce: (i) in-the-wild multi-material scene images that expand visual diversity, and (ii) a material-diversity pairing strategy that aligns each tactile sample with visually varied yet tactilely consistent images, improving contextual localization and robustness to weak signals. We also construct two new tactile-grounded material segmentation datasets for quantitative ev

Joint image-feature generative modeling has recently emerged as an effective strategy for improving diffusion training by coupling low-level VAE latents with high-level semantic features extracted from pre-trained visual encoders. However, existing approaches rely on a fixed representation space, constructed independently of the generative objective and kept unchanged during training. We argue that the representation space guiding diffusion should itself adapt to the generative task. To this end, we propose Coevolving Representation Diffusion (CoReDi), a framework in which the semantic representation space evolves during training by learning a lightweight linear projection jointly with the diffusion model. While naively optimizing this projection leads to degenerate solutions, we show that stable coevolution can be achieved through a combination of stop-gradient targets, normalization, and targeted regularization that prevents feature collapse. This formulation enables the semantic spa

LLM-based multi-agent systems are increasingly deployed on long-horizon tasks, but a single decisive error is often accepted by downstream agents and cascades into trajectory-level failure. Existing work frames this as post-hoc failure attribution, diagnosing the responsible agent and step after the trajectory has ended. However, this paradigm forfeits any opportunity to intervene while trajectory is still unfolding. In this work, we introduce AgentForesight, a framework that reframes this problem as online auditing: at each step of an unfolding trajectory, an auditor observes only the current prefix and must either continue the run or alarm at the earliest decisive error, without access to future steps. To this end, we curate AFTraj-2K, a corpus of agentic trajectories across Coding, Math, and Agentic domains, in which safe trajectories are retained under a strict curation pipeline and unsafe trajectories are annotated at the step of their decisive error via consensus among multiple L

TRON: 시각 추론 RL 위한 규칙 검증형 온라인 환경

Reinforcement learning (RL) for visual reasoning needs scalable, verifiable, and controllable training signals. Existing visual RL post-training trains on static curated datasets, with fixed image-question-answer samples bounded by their collection budget. In this work, we introduce TRON (Targeted, Rule-verifiable Online eNvironments), an online environment substrate: a training rollout is generated on demand by a controllable generator-verifier program that samples a fresh latent visual state, renders an image, asks a question, and exactly verifies the answer. A single run can therefore draw an unbounded stream of fresh instances at the difficulty level required by the current curriculum. The current TRON suite contains 520 environments organized into five ability buckets (spatial, mathematical, diagram, pattern/logic, and counting); the same substrate supports both a single full model trained on all buckets and per-bucket ability-specialist models, with no additional data collection.

Mixture-of-Experts models, now popular for scaling capacity at fixed inference speed, switch experts at nearly every token. Once a model outgrows available GPU memory, this churn can render optimizations like offloading and pre-fetching ineffective. We make the case that the options framework in reinforcement learning is a perfect match to tackle this problem, and argue for temporally extended mixture-of-experts layers. Building on the option-critic framework with deliberation costs, we add a controller to each layer that learns when to switch expert sets and which to load. By applying this to gpt-oss-20b with low-rank adapters and a self-distillation reward, our method reduces switch rates from over 50% to below 5% while retaining up to 90% of base-model accuracy on MATH, MMLU, and MMMLU. This shows that even existing pre-trained models can be converted to temporally extended MoEs with lightweight training, with the deliberation cost allowing model trainers to trade off switching rate

As agent capabilities advance, existing benchmarks, such as τ^2-Bench, are becoming increasingly saturated. Yet constructing new benchmark tasks remains complex, costly, and labor-intensive. Moreover, the standard approach, in which scenarios are first written in natural language and then mapped to tool sequences, captures only a narrow subset of the tool-use patterns agents exercise. In this paper, we address these problems by reversing the task construction process. We propose TASTE: Task Synthesis from Tool Sequence Evolution, an automatic method that generates challenging tasks with broader tool-use coverage. TASTE utilizes an Adaptive Contrastive n-gram model trained on LLM-judged validity signals. This enables sampling valid tool sequences that cover a vast range of tool combinations. TASTE then selects representative sequences from the pool via clustering, instantiates them into complete benchmark tasks, and refines them through iterative difficulty evolution. Using TASTE, we co

Search agents are often trained as policies over growing transcripts: the model must decide how to search while also remembering what it has seen, which evidence is useful, which constraints remain open, and which claims have actually been checked. We argue that this formulation puts too much routine state management inside the policy: reinforcement learning is forced to optimize both semantic search decisions and recoverable bookkeeping that the environment can maintain more reliably. We introduce Harness-1, a 20B search agent (retrieval subagent) trained with reinforcement learning inside a stateful search harness. The harness maintains environment-side working memory, including a candidate pool, an importance-tagged curated set, compact evidence links, verification records, compressed and deduplicated observations, and budget-aware context rendering. The policy retains the semantic decisions: what to search, which documents to keep or discard, what to verify, and when to stop. Acros

Economy of Minds: 경제적 상호작용에서 떠오르는 멀티에이전트 지능

How can a population of agents self-orchestrate and self-adapt into stronger collective intelligence without centralized control? Inspired by Friedrich Hayek's economic theory of decentralized coordination in markets, we study this question through an agent economy in which agents compete via auctions for the right to act, exchange payments, and accumulate wealth from environmental rewards. These simple economic signals induce decentralized credit assignment, driving planning without global orchestration or explicit communication protocols. The population evolves through economic selection: effective agents accumulate wealth and are mutated via exploitation, while ineffective ones go bankrupt and are replaced via exploration. We show that, initialized with weak agents, the economy produces emergent multi-step reasoning strategies and outperforms stronger monolithic baselines across five agentic tasks, including mathematical reasoning, financial research, scientific research, accelerato

SpatialAct: 3D 장면에서 VLM 에이전트의 공간 추론-행동 역량 분석

Humans can effortlessly perceive spatial layouts, form cognitive representations, reason about spatial relations, and translate such reasoning into actions in everyday 3D environments. Although recent vision-language models (VLMs) have shown promising performance on observation-conditioned spatial perception and reasoning tasks, it remains unclear whether they can build coherent spatial understanding, act upon it, and refine their actions through multi-turn feedback. To study this problem, we introduce SpatialAct, a simulator-grounded benchmark for probing action-conditioned spatial reasoning in 3D scenes. Starting from the most challenging setting, Multi-turn Interactive Refinement, we further design its decomposed counterpart, Single-step Error Detection and Fix, together with five fundamental spatial ability tasks to diagnose the underlying causes of model failures. Experiments reveal a clear reasoning-to-action gap: current VLMs can perform well on isolated spatial reasoning tasks,

Real-world document question answering is challenging. Analysts must synthesize evidence across multiple documents and different parts of each document. However, any fixed LLM context window can be exceeded as document collections grow. A common workaround is to decompose documents into chunks and assemble answers from chunk-level outputs, but this introduces an aggregation bottleneck: as the number of chunks grows, systems must still combine and reason over an increasingly large body of extracted evidence. We present SLIDERS, a framework for question answering over long document collections through structured reasoning. SLIDERS extracts salient information into a relational database, enabling scalable reasoning over persistent structured state via SQL rather than concatenated text. To make this locally extracted representation globally coherent, SLIDERS introduces a data reconciliation stage that leverages provenance, extraction rationales, and metadata to detect and repair duplicated

덧셈의 형태: LLM 속 산술의 기하학적 구조

Large Language Models exhibit paradoxical fragility in fundamental arithmetic, implying a disconnect between internal computation and discrete output. By analyzing the residual stream geometry during multi-operand addition, we identify the Iso-Raw-Sum Trajectory (IRST), a geometric structure where representations are anchored by semantic digits and modulated by continuous carry fibers. We propose the Noisy Quantization Model to explain this geometry, framing arithmetic errors as Geometric Slippages caused by internal neural noise pushing a continuous, latent Carry Potential across quantization thresholds. This geometric framework further elucidates Probe Versatility, explaining how lightweight probes can disentangle coexisting latent signals (such as ground truth versus hallucination) from a single activation vector. Finally, we validate these insights through a geometric consistency check method that effectively detects and corrects these quantization failures during inference. Our co

Humanoid robots promise general-purpose assistance, yet real-world humanoid loco-manipulation remains challenging because it requires whole-body stability, dexterous hands, and contact-aware perception under frequent contact changes. In this work, we study dexterous, contact-rich humanoid loco-manipulation. We first develop an RL-based whole-body controller that provides stable lower-body and torso execution during complex manipulation. Built on this controller, we develop a whole-body humanoid data collection system that combines VR-based teleoperation with human-to-humanoid motion mapping, enabling efficient collection of real-world demonstrations. We then propose Humanoid Transformer with Touch Dreaming (HTD), a multimodal encoder--decoder Transformer that models touch as a core modality alongside multi-view vision and proprioception. HTD is trained in a single stage with behavioral cloning augmented by touch dreaming: in addition to predicting action chunks, the policy predicts fut

도구가 실패할 때: LLM 에이전트의 동적 재계획·이상 복구 벤치마크

Existing benchmarks evaluate Tool-Integrated Reasoning (TIR) in LLMs on idealized ''happy paths'', largely overlooking real-world tool failures. We introduce ToolMaze, a benchmark for dynamic path discovery and error recovery in TIR agents. To separate systematic replanning from blind trial-and-error, ToolMaze adopts a two-dimensional design: DAG-based topological complexity and a 2 times 2 taxonomy of tool perturbations (explicit/implicit, transient/permanent). Evaluations show that perturbations degrade performance across nearly all models, with the sharpest drops under implicit semantic failures. Driven by systemic over-trust in corrupted outputs, Perturbation Recovery Rate (PRR) plummets by around 37\% in these scenarios, while complex topologies trap agents in futile trial-and-error loops. Crucially, agentic fault-tolerance improves with model scale 3.66times slower than basic task execution, highlighting dynamic replanning as a distinct bottleneck unaddressed by model scaling or

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become the central paradigm in artificial intelligence, yet the core computational primitive of attention has remained structurally unchanged. Local Linear Attention (LLA) is an attention mechanism derived from nonparametric statistics in the test-time regression framework. In contrast to prior research on efficient attention variants, LLA upgrades the local constant estimate in softmax attention to a local linear estimate, yielding provably superior bias-variance tradeoffs for associative memory. However, LLA has not been scaled in LLM pretraining due to computational and numerical stability concerns. We introduce Parallax, a parameterized Local Linear Attention that is scalable for LLMs. Parallax eliminates the numerical solver in LLA and learns an extra query-like projector that probes the KV covariance. We place Parallax within a family of attention mechanisms connected by the bandwidth, the probe construction and the affine structure. We propose a

Imaginative Perception Tokens, 멀티모달 언어 모델의 공간 추론 강화

Vision language models (VLMs) excel at many tasks but still struggle with spatial reasoning when critical information is not directly observable. Many such problems require imaginative perception: inferring what would be seen from an unseen viewpoint, tracing paths through occluded spaces, or integrating partial observations into a coherent spatial representation. We introduce Imaginative Perception Tokens (IPT), intermediate perceptual representations that externalize what a VLM would perceive under alternative spatial configurations while remaining consistent with the observed input. To study this capability, we formulate three tasks, Perspective Taking (PET), Path Tracing (PT), and Multiview Counting (MVC), and construct datasets of approximately 20K examples with ground truth imaginations, answers, and evaluation benchmarks. Using the unified VLM BAGEL as the backbone, IPT supervision consistently improves spatial reasoning and often outperforms textual chain of thought training,

온폴리시 증류로 구현한 데이터 효율적 자기회귀-디퓨전 언어 모델

We study the transformation of autoregressive models (ARLMs) into diffusion language models (DLMs). Rather than pretraining from scratch, prior work replaces the causal attention in ARLMs with bidirectional attention and then trains the resulting model using a DLM objective. However, these approaches incur two distribution shifts. First, transitioning from a next-token prediction objective to a DLM objective can discard knowledge acquired by the ARLM during training. Second, standard DLMs suffer from a train-inference mismatch, as the training loss is defined on randomly masked sequences rather than the trajectories encountered at inference produced by confidence-based decoding. To address both challenges, we introduce an On-Policy Diffusion Language Model (OPDLM) in which On-Policy Distillation (OPD) is employed for ARLM-to-DLM transformation. Specifically, OPDLM is trained via self-OPD, where the student, an ARLM with bidirectional attention, generates its own trajectories, and the t

여론 시뮬레이션을 위한 매개변수 기반 사회적 정체성 주입과 다양화

Large language models (LLMs) have recently been adopted as synthetic agents for public opinion simulation, offering a promising alternative to costly and slow human surveys. Despite their scalability, current LLM-based simulation methods fail to capture social diversity, producing flattened inter-group differences and overly homogeneous responses across demographic groups. We identify this limitation as a Diversity Collapse phenomenon in LLM hidden representations, where distinct social identities become increasingly indistinguishable across layers. Motivated by this observation, we propose Parametric Social Identity Injection (PSII), a general framework that injects explicit, parametric representations of demographic attributes and value orientations directly into intermediate hidden states of LLMs. Unlike prompt-based persona conditioning, PSII enables fine-grained and controllable identity modulation at the representation level.

Foundation features from self-supervised vision models and text-to-image diffusion models have proven effective for semantic correspondence estimation. However, because these features are learned primarily from 2D image objectives, they lack explicit 3D awareness and often confuse symmetric object sides, repeated parts, and visually similar structures that are distinct in 3D. We introduce a 3D-aware post-training framework that goes beyond available 2D foundation features by incorporating priors from 3D foundation models. Given an image, our method uses SAM3D to estimate object geometry and pose, and refines the pose through render-and-compare optimization. Subsequently, we render PartField descriptors from the reconstructed geometry into the image plane based on the estimated object pose. The resulting geometry-aware feature maps complement DINO and Stable Diffusion features, while geodesic distances on the reconstructed shapes enable reliable filtering of candidate correspondences.

Large language models have achieved significant reasoning improvements through reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). Yet as model capabilities grow, constructing high-quality reward signals becomes increasingly difficult, making it essential to understand when RLVR can succeed under weaker forms of supervision. We conduct a systematic empirical study across diverse model families and reasoning domains under three weak supervision settings: scarce data, noisy rewards, and self-supervised proxy rewards. We find that generalization is governed by training reward saturation dynamics: models that generalize exhibit a prolonged pre-saturation phase during which training reward and downstream performance climb together, while models that saturate rapidly memorize rather than learn. We identify reasoning faithfulness, defined as the extent to which intermediate steps logically support the final answer, as the pre-RL property that predicts which regime a model falls into, while

As LLM agents transition from short, static problem solving to executing complex, long-horizon tasks in dynamic environments, the ability to handle user interruptions, such as adding requirement or revising goals, during mid-task execution is becoming a core requirement for realistic deployment. However, existing benchmarks largely assume uninterrupted agent behavior or study interruptions only in short, unconstrained language tasks. In this paper, we present the first systematic study of interruptible agents in long-horizon, environmentally grounded web navigation tasks, where actions induce persistent state changes. We formalize three realistic interruption types, including addition, revision, and retraction, and introduce InterruptBench, a benchmark derived from WebArena-Lite that synthesizes high-quality interruption scenarios under strict semantic constraints. Using a unified interruption simulation framework, we evaluate six strong LLM backbones across single- and multi-turn inte

버블 깨기: 가중치 불일치를 제한한 비동기 파이프라인 병렬 학습

Pipeline parallelism is essential for training large neural networks, but existing schedules trade off throughput, memory, and optimization consistency. Synchronous pipelines preserve forward/backward weight consistency but suffer from bubbles; asynchronous pipelines remove bubbles but introduce weight-version mismatch, typically requiring weight stashing, prediction, or correction mechanisms. We introduce PACI (Pipeline Asynchronous training with Controlled Inconsistency), a bubble-free asynchronous pipeline method that bounds forward/backward version drift without weight stashing, prediction, additional parameter copies, or global synchronization. The key idea is to use local gradient accumulation as a version-control mechanism: by slowing parameter-version evolution relative to pipeline delay, PACI limits the number of optimizer updates crossed by any micro-batch while preserving steady-state utilization. In GPT-style language-model pretraining, PACI matches the stability and final

LLM-based agents score well on search benchmarks, yet real users consistently find results unsatisfying, revealing a persistent evaluation-experience gap. We attribute this gap to existing benchmarks' reliance on over-specified queries, single-turn interactions, and fixed-schema evaluation, none of which reflect real search behavior where users and agents collaboratively refine vague intent through multi-turn dialogue. We term this paradigm VibeSearch and introduce VibeSearchBench, a benchmark comprising 200 manually curated bilingual (Chinese and English) tasks across 20 domains, split into VibeSearch-Pro (professional) and VibeSearch-Daily (daily-life) subsets. Each task pairs a user persona with a schema-free ground-truth knowledge graph, and is evaluated through a progressive-disclosure user simulator and a graph-matching evaluation framework. We benchmark seven frontier models under both the ReAct framework and the OpenClaw agent harness. Results show that all models remain substa

Modern retrieval systems, whether lexical or semantic, expose a corpus through a fixed similarity interface that compresses access into a single top-k retrieval step before reasoning. This abstraction is efficient, but for agentic search, it becomes a bottleneck: exact lexical constraints, sparse clue conjunctions, local context checks, and multi-step hypothesis refinement are difficult to implement by calling a conventional off-the-shelf retriever, and evidence filtered out early cannot be recovered by stronger downstream reasoning. Agentic tasks further exacerbate this limitation because they require agents to orchestrate multiple steps, including discovering intermediate entities, combining weak clues, and revising the plan after observing partial evidence. To tackle the limitation, we study direct corpus interaction (DCI), where an agent searches the raw corpus directly with general-purpose terminal tools (e.g., grep, file reads, shell commands, lightweight scripts), without any em

Large language models inevitably retain sensitive information, defined as inputs that may induce harmful generations, due to training on massive web corpora, raising concerns for privacy and safety. Existing machine unlearning methods primarily rely on retraining or aggressive fine-tuning, which are either computationally expensive or prone to degrading related knowledge and overall model utility. In this work, we reformulate machine unlearning as a precise knowledge re-mapping problem via model editing. We propose ZeroUnlearn, a few-shot unlearning framework. It overwrites sensitive inputs by mapping them to a neutral target state and removing their original representations. ZeroUnlearn enforces representational orthogonality through a multiplicative parameter update with a closed-form solution, enabling efficient and targeted unlearning. We further extend ZeroUnlearn to a gradient-based variant for multi-sample unlearning. Experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms existin

Test-Time Scaling (TTS) enhances the reasoning capabilities of large language models by allocating additional inference compute to explore the solution space. However, existing parallel TTS methods typically keep branches isolated during search: intermediate discoveries remain branch-private and cannot guide other branches in time. This information isolation causes substantial redundant exploration, as branches repeatedly rediscover information already found elsewhere and require more search steps to collect complete decision information needed to reach correct answers. To bridge this gap, we propose Collaborative Parallel Thinking (CPT), a training-free inference framework that enables search-time information sharing across parallel branches. CPT extracts compact intermediate information from ongoing branches, maintains a deduplicated query-level information pool, and broadcasts pool entries through the input context, allowing each branch in subsequent search steps to reuse discoverie

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as interactive agents, but optimizing them for long-horizon decision making remains difficult because current methods are largely purely reactive, which weakens both exploration and credit assignment over extended trajectories. In this work, we present Strategic Trajectory Abstraction (StraTA), a simple framework that introduces an explicit trajectory-level strategy into agentic reinforcement learning (RL). StraTA samples a compact strategy from the initial task state, conditions subsequent actions on that strategy, and trains strategy generation and action execution jointly with a hierarchical GRPO-style rollout design, further enhanced by diverse strategy rollout and critical self-judgment. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and SciWorld show that StraTA consistently improves both sample efficiency and final performance over strong baselines.
