Data Journalist Agent: Transforming Data into Verifiable Multimodal Stories

Turns raw datasets into verifiable multimodal news features via a multi-agent newsroom pipeline. Key innovations: (1) an Inspector that links each claim to data/code/external references for re-execution and audit; (2) multimodal asset generation (interactive maps, audio, visuals) tailored to the story.

Role-Agent: Bootstrapping LLM Agents via Dual-Role Evolution

Lets a single LLM simultaneously act as agent and environment to bootstrap co-evolutional training — using state-prediction process rewards (World-In-Agent) and failure-mode retrieval (Agent-In-World) to reshape training data; reports ~4% average benchmark gain.

SCAIL-2: Unifying Controlled Character Animation with End-to-end In-Context Conditioning

End-to-end framework for controlled character animation that transfers motion from driving videos to reference characters without intermediate pose or background representations. Introduces the MotionPair‑60K end-to-end motion-transfer dataset, in‑context mask conditioning and mode‑specific RoPE for task unification, plus Bias‑Aware DPO to mitigate synthetic-detail errors.

APPO: Agentic Procedural Policy Optimization

Shifts branching and credit assignment in agentic RL from coarse units to fine-grained decision points in generated sequences. Uses a Branching Score combining token uncertainty and policy-induced likelihood gains plus procedure-level advantage scaling; improves performance across 13 benchmarks while keeping efficient tool calls.

Orchestra-o1: Omnimodal Agent Orchestration

Orchestrates teams of sub-agents across text, image, audio and video by modality-aware task decomposition, online sub-agent specialization, and parallel execution; introduces DA-GRPO to train Orchestra-o1-8B and reports a ~10.3% accuracy improvement on the OmniGAIA benchmark.

Agentic Environment Engineering for Large Language Models: A Survey of Environment Modeling, Synthesis, Evaluation, and Application

Survey of methods for engineering interactive environments for LLM-based agents, covering environment modeling, symbolic and neural synthesis, evaluation, and agent–environment co-evolution. Identifies evolution paradigms and future directions like Environment-as-a-Service and multi-agent systems.

Redesign Mixture-of-Experts Routers with Manifold Power Iteration

Proposes a router redesign for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) that aligns each router row with its expert's principal singular direction using Manifold Power Iteration (MPI), improving token–expert affinity. MPI applies a 'power‑then‑retract' step to push router rows toward principal singular vectors while enforcing norm constraints; the paper gives convergence theory and pretraining results on 1B–11B MoE models.

Toward Generalist Autonomous Research via Hypothesis-Tree Refinement

Lets an AI agent propose, run, and evaluate multi-step research experiments using a persistent Hypothesis Tree that links hypotheses, artifacts, evidence, and distilled insights. Combines a long-lived coordinator with short-lived executors to carry lessons across time; evaluated on six ML tasks.

FORT-Searcher: Synthesizing Shortcut-Resistant Search Tasks for Training Deep Search Agents

Synthesizes shortcut-resistant search tasks to train deep search agents by controlling four shortcut risks across entity selection, evidence-graph construction, question formulation, and adversarial refinement. Produces training trajectories with longer pre-answer search and fewer shortcut patterns; code will be released on GitHub.

OmniDirector: General Multi-Shot Camera Cloning without Cross-Paired Data

Encodes and clones camera motion from reference videos to generate multi-shot videos — uses a visual "camera grid" to represent camera parameters, trains on million-scale grid–video pairs, and employs a hierarchical prompt-expansion agent to coordinate camera, subject, and action control for multimodal diffusion models.

EvoArena: Tracking Memory Evolution for Robust LLM Agents in Dynamic Environments

Benchmarks evolving environments as sequences of progressive updates and introduces EvoMem, a patch-based memory that records structured update histories so LLM agents can reason about environment evolution. Demonstrates measurable gains on EvoArena and other benchmarks.

SpatialClaw: Rethinking Action Interface for Agentic Spatial Reasoning

Provides a training-free, code-as-action framework that lets VLM-backed agents write and run stateful Python cells to compose perception and geometry primitives for open-ended 3D/4D spatial reasoning. Demonstrates consistent gains across 20 benchmarks and multiple VLM backbones.
