Foundation Protocol: A Coordination Layer for Agentic Society
Bang Liu, Yongfeng Gu, Jiayi Zhang +26
Autonomous agents are moving from tools into a layer of social infrastructure: they browse, purchase, deploy software, manage systems, and increasingly interact with one another. A…
Latent Action Reparameterization for Efficient Agent Inference
Wenhao Huang, Qingwen Zeng, Qiyue Chen +11
Large language model (LLM) agents often rely on long sequences of low-level textual actions, resulting in large effective decision horizons and high inference cost. While prior wor…
Scalable Environments Drive Generalizable Agents
Jiayi Zhang, Fanqi Kong, Guibin Zhang +7
Generalizable agents should adapt to diverse tasks and unseen environments beyond their training distribution. This position paper argues that such generalization requires environm…
Harnessing Agentic Evolution
Jiayi Zhang, Yongfeng Gu, Jianhao Ruan +10
Agentic evolution has emerged as a powerful paradigm for improving programs, workflows, and scientific solutions by iteratively generating candidates, evaluating them, and using fe…
StepOPSD: Step-Aware Online Preference Self-Distillation for Agent Reinforcement Learning
Yanfei Zhang, Xu Lin, Chenglin Wu
Reinforcement learning for multi-turn agents suffers from a credit-assignment mismatch: rewards are sparse and trajectory-level, while success often hinges on a few local decisions…
Understanding and Mitigating Premature Confidence for Better LLM Reasoning
Jingchu Gai, Guanning Zeng, Christina Baek +4
Long chains of thought (CoT) from current language models frequently contain logical gaps and unjustified leaps, limiting the gains from additional test-time compute. Improving rea…
The Latent Space: Foundation, Evolution, Mechanism, Ability, and Outlook
Xinlei Yu, Zhangquan Chen, Yongbo He +36
Latent space is rapidly emerging as a native substrate for language-based models. While modern systems are still commonly understood through explicit token-level generation, an inc…
InfoPO: Information-Driven Policy Optimization for User-Centric Agents
Fanqi Kong, Jiayi Zhang, Mingyi Deng +3
Real-world user requests to LLM agents are often underspecified. Agents must interact to acquire missing information and make correct downstream decisions. However, current multi-t…
AutoWebWorld: Synthesizing Infinite Verifiable Web Environments via Finite State Machines
Yifan Wu, Yiran Peng, Yiyu Chen +12
The performance of autonomous Web GUI agents heavily relies on the quality and quantity of their training data. However, a fundamental bottleneck persists: collecting interaction t…
AOrchestra: Automating Sub-Agent Creation for Agentic Orchestration
Jianhao Ruan, Zhihao Xu, Yiran Peng +9
Language agents have shown strong promise for task automation. Realizing this promise for increasingly complex, long-horizon tasks has driven the rise of a sub-agent-as-tools parad…
AutoEnv: Automated Environments for Measuring Cross-Environment Agent Learning
Jiayi Zhang, Yiran Peng, Fanqi Kong +12
Humans naturally adapt to diverse environments by learning underlying rules across worlds with different dynamics, observations, and reward structures. In contrast, existing agents…
ReCode: Unify Plan and Action for Universal Granularity Control
Zhaoyang Yu, Jiayi Zhang, Huixue Su +9
Real-world tasks require decisions at varying granularities, and humans excel at this by leveraging a unified cognitive representation where planning is fundamentally understood as…
Advances and Challenges in Foundation Agents: From Brain-Inspired Intelligence to Evolutionary, Collaborative, and Safe Systems
Bang Liu, Xinfeng Li, Jiayi Zhang +45
The advent of large language models (LLMs) has catalyzed a transformative shift in artificial intelligence, paving the way for advanced intelligent agents capable of sophisticated…
