Critique of Agent Model
Eric Xing, Mingkai Deng, Jinyu Hou
What is an agent? What constitutes agency? With the rise of Large Language Model (LLM) systems marketed as ``coding agents'', ``AI co-scientists'', and other ``agentic" tools that…
Critique of World Model
Eric Xing, Mingkai Deng, Jinyu Hou
World Model, the algorithmic simulator of the real-world environment which biological agents experience and act upon, has been an emerging topic in recent years due to the rising n…
Efficient Agentic Reasoning Through Self-Regulated Simulative Planning
Mingkai Deng, Jinyu Hou, Lara Sá Neves +4
How should an agent decide when and how to plan? A dominant approach builds agents as reactive policies with adaptive computation (e.g., chain-of-thought), trained end-to-end expec…
General Agentic Planning Through Simulative Reasoning with World Models
Mingkai Deng, Jinyu Hou, Zhiting Hu +1
What does it mean to plan? Current agentic systems, whether scaffolded workflows or end-to-end policies, rely on reactive decision-making: selecting the next action via a fixed pro…
PAN: A World Model for General, Interactable, and Long-Horizon World Simulation
PAN Team, Jiannan Xiang, Yi Gu +31
A world model enables an intelligent agent to imagine, predict, and reason about how the world evolves in response to its actions, and accordingly to plan and strategize. While rec…
