EDV Framework Enables Reliable Experience Learning for Agentic Systems

The EDV framework introduces an Execute-Distill-Verify paradigm to overcome the self-confirmation trap in large language model agents. By using multiple agents to explore tasks, a third-party agent to distill experiences, and a consensus-based verification step, EDV ensures only accurate experiences are stored in memory. Evaluation on tau2-bench, Mind2Web, and MMTB shows EDV outperforms strong baselines, demonstrating its effectiveness in enabling robust agent self-evolution.

NatureBench Evaluates AI Coding Agents' Scientific Discovery Capabilities

NatureBench presents a benchmark of 90 tasks from Nature-family papers to assess AI coding agents' ability to achieve scientific discovery. Under a web-search-disabled protocol, the top model exceeds prior state-of-the-art on only 17.8% of tasks. Agents primarily succeed by translating scientific problems into supervised learning tasks, not through original scientific invention.

MEMPROBE: Benchmark for Long-Term Memory Recovery in Agents

MEMPROBE is a benchmark that evaluates long-term memory in AI agents by reconstructing a user's hidden state from the agent's memory after interaction. It tests 5 memory systems across 50 simulated users with 31 dimensions each, finding that task completion is high even for memoryless agents, while memory recovery remains moderate and drops under top-k retrieval. MEMPROBE enables direct, auditable assessment of memory retention and proposes recovery as a key objective for future agent development.

Qwen-AgentWorld: Language World Models for General Agents

Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B and Qwen-AgentWorld-397B-A17B are the first language world models that simulate agentic environments across seven domains using long chain-of-thought reasoning. Trained via a three-stage pipeline—CPT, SFT, and RL—these models outperform existing frontier models on AgentWorldBench, a benchmark derived from real-world interactions of five models on nine established tasks.

Distilling Transformers into Recurrent Transformers for Efficient Memory

A new distillation method transfers the observation compression strategy of full-history transformers to recurrent models. By training a teacher model to compress observation histories into fixed-size bottlenecks, the approach aligns the student's memory with the teacher's compression. This enables recurrent transformers to achieve near-full-history performance with linear-time complexity, making them viable for long-horizon robotics applications.

LLM-Agent Oversight Must Shift from Calibration to Action-Conditioned Control

Current oversight of LLM agents relies on scalar risk scores, but this fails to capture whether an intervention improves outcomes. The paper introduces "intervention advantage" as the key metric, showing that action-conditioned control outperforms scalar routing across benchmarks, with significant regret reduction in interactive regimes. Calibration alone does not resolve the underlying mismatch in control performance.

Unreliable Feedback Can Harm Tool-Using LLM Agents

Studies show that misleading feedback can cause LLM agents to perform worse than with no feedback at all. On HotpotQA, Qwen2.5-7B drops from 44.8 to 4.7 F1 under shuffled retrieval, despite clean tools. These results indicate that tool gains may be overstated and no-feedback controls are essential for valid evaluation.
