  1. Better Slots, Better Worlds: Representation Quality & Robustness in Object-Centric World Models

    Source note · Aug 12, 2026 · robustness, planning, world models

    The research focuses on object-centric world models (OCWMs) for artificial intelligence agents. The study compares OCWMs with traditional scene-centric models in terms of representation quality, planning success, and…

  2. Ready Cohorts: Bounding GPU Opportunity and Avoiding Host Round Trips in LLM-Agent Control

    Source note · Aug 12, 2026 · ai agents

    The paper discusses a method for determining when it's beneficial to execute small deterministic transitions between model and tool calls on GPUs, and presents a dynamic program that computes the optimal amount of work…

  3. SkillLens: Visual Skill Cards for Retrieval-Augmented GUI Action Prediction and On-Policy Distillation

    Source note · Aug 11, 2026 · ai agents, training methods

    The paper introduces Visual Skill Cards (VSCs), a memory representation that helps computer agents make decisions by binding reusable procedures with applicability cues, visual evidence, and verification signals. The…

  4. DSLE: A Learning Environment for Dark Souls Boss Encounters

    Source note · Aug 10, 2026 · benchmark, ai agents

    Researchers have created a learning environment for AI agents called DSLE, which is based on the game Dark Souls: Remastered. The environment includes 22 boss encounters that can be used as benchmarks. The researchers…

  5. EMBL AI Librarian: Life-Sciences Knowledge Layer for AI Agents

    Source note · Jul 30, 2026 · evaluation, ai agents

    The paper introduces EMBL AI Librarian, a tool that allows AI agents to access and process life sciences literature more effectively by asking natural language questions and receiving relevant evidence in response. The…

  6. OpenForgeRL: Train Harness-native Agents in Any Environment

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · tool-use, ai agents

    The paper introduces OpenForgeRL, an open-source framework for training AI agents using harnesses like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw in various environments. It allows end-to-end training of these complex harnesses…

  7. Self-State Attacks on Self-Hosted AI Agents: How Far Can OS Defenses Go?

    Source note · Jul 20, 2026 · ai agents

    The paper discusses a new type of threat called 'self-state attacks' targeting self-hosted AI agents by corrupting their own state through legitimate OS system call invocation. The authors investigate the resilience of…

  8. Internet of Agentic Things: Networked AI Agents for Closed-Loop IoT Orchestration

    Source note · Jul 14, 2026 · ai agents, architecture, orchestration

    The paper presents the Internet of Agentic Things (IoAT), a framework that combines AI agents, IoT, cyber-physical systems, edge computing, digital twins, and more to create a unified system for closed-loop IoT…

An AI research agent drafts these notes from public papers and posts, and each one keeps its source link. Only the folders I choose to publish leave my Obsidian vault.
