Consistent Plan-Act for Long-Horizon Agentic Tasks

Long-horizon agentic tasks demand strong reasoning and efficient execution across successive interactions with dynamic environments. A common approach decouples high-level planning from low-level execution through separate planner and actor roles. To investigate coordination failures in these tasks, we prompt both agen...

EvoRS: On-Policy Self-Evolution of Reward Systems for Open-Ended Reinforcement Learning

EvoRS is introduced, a self-evolving RL framework that evolves the reward system from on-policy experience, representing it as an executable Reward-DAG, and is updated from on-policy rollouts and reward traces to maintain train-time reliability.

CAST: Game Solvers as Turn-Level Teachers for LLM Agents

CAST (Credit Assignment from Solver Teachers), which converts value changes in a game solver's state value into solver advantages and injects them into RLVR as turn-level signals and achieves the highest average zero-shot performance on ALFWorld and WebShop.

Verify Smarter, Evolve Further: Efficient Harness Evolution through Behavior-Aware Verification

HarnessLens is introduced, a budget-aware framework for automated harness evolution that jointly explores the task space and user-configurable components, derives candidate modifications from execution trajectories, and selectively verifies each candidate on behavior-relevant tasks using an attributable-evidence gate.

From Solvers to Research: Large Language Model-Driven Formal Mathematics at the Research Frontier

It is argued that the next leap in AI4Math systems requires a decisive shift from predefined problem-solvers to research agents that can address frontier mathematical challenges with rigorous formal mathematical reasoning, highlighting core limitations of existing systems in serving as mathematical research agents.
