  1. Thinking Before Thinking: Scaling Agentic Inference Through Meta-Reasoning

    Source note · Sep 29, 2026 · agents, memory, reasoning

    The preprint introduces an inference-time harness in which a controller explicitly decides what partial work to reuse, whether to restart, when to stop, and which next work to dispatch. Workers perform task-level…

  2. Do LLM Agents Execute the Plans They Declare? From Planning-Mode Declaration to Pattern-Specific Execution

    Source note · Sep 29, 2026 · evaluation, agents, reliability

    The preprint defines a Plan Declaration–Execution Gap and evaluates four declared planning modes: Predefined, Sequential, Hierarchical, and Search. Across four benchmarks and three LLMs, the abstract reports that only…

  3. AD-WM: Action-Discriminative World Models for Counterfactual Model Predictive Control

    Source note · Sep 24, 2026 · reinforcement learning, robotics, planning

    AD-WM is a joint-embedding world model designed for counterfactual model predictive control. It combines residual latent dynamics with action-recovery regularization so the model preserves action-dependent differences…

  4. GRASP: Generating, Revising, and Assessing for Strategic Planning with Agentic AI

    Source note · Sep 24, 2026 · evaluation, agents, reasoning

    GRASP is a multi-stage planning framework with separate modules for global macro-guidelines, localized strategy exploration, and independent trajectory evaluation. The preprint reports gains over direct LLM planners on…

  5. How Do Agent Harnesses Create Value? Planning Information and Release Control in Stateful LLM Agents

    Source note · Sep 17, 2026 · agents, planning, verification

    Across 265 matched cells in Retail experiments and an Airline pilot in τ²-bench, the paper compares task-specific plans with shuffled text, and evaluates a read-only terminal verifier. It reports a 7.17-point…

  6. SkillAA: Attribution-Guided Skill-Graph Updating with Targeted Validation and Rollback

    Source note · Sep 17, 2026 · evaluation, agents, reliability

    SkillAA represents skill applicability, execution, and composition in a unified graph. It contrasts successful and failed executions to route local repairs, then uses local and broader validation gates before…

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

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

    The study investigates the performance of object-centric world models for visual model-predictive control, which enable agents to accomplish tasks through planning. The researchers find that these models perform better…

  8. 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…

  9. The Physics of Multi-Turn Long-Horizon Planning: From Pre-training to Post-training via Single- and Multi-Teacher On-Policy Agentic Distillation

    Source note · Jul 27, 2026 · artificial intelligence, machine learning, planning

    The paper focuses on improving the multi-turn long-horizon planning for foundation model agents. The authors introduce a controlled environment to study the acquisition, shaping, and integration of planning abilities…

  10. OmniaBench: Benchmarking General AI Agents Across Diverse Scenarios

    Source note · Jul 16, 2026 · benchmarking, planning, dataset

    A research paper titled 'OmniaBench' introduces a new benchmark for evaluating the capabilities of general AI agents across various scenarios, using diverse tasks drawn from app stores, product documents, industry…

  11. AdaJEPA: An Adaptive Latent World Model

    Source note · Jun 30, 2026 · planning, self-supervised learning, adaptive systems

    The paper proposes a new adaptive latent world model called AdaJEPA that can improve planning accuracy by continuously recalibrating the world model during test-time, particularly when dealing with distribution shift…

  12. Empowering GUI Agents via Autonomous Experience Exploration and Hindsight Experience Utilization for Task Planning

    Source note · Jun 25, 2026 · planning, machine learning models, generalization

    The research introduces a method called Planning Experience Exploration and Utilization (PEEU) to improve the task planning capabilities of smaller open-source Multi-Language Model Learning Machines (MLLMs). These…

  13. Empowering GUI Agents via Autonomous Experience Exploration and Hindsight Experience Utilization for Task Planning

    Source note · Jun 25, 2026 · ai, planning, generalization

    Researchers introduce a new method called PEEU (Planning Experience Exploration and Utilization) to improve the task planning capabilities of small, open-source Multimodal Language Learning Models (MLLMs). These models…

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.
