Modern agents increasingly rely on memories, tools, and execution logic, so their competence extends beyond model parameters. This shift exposes a limitation of conventional knowledge distillation, which asks how a student model imitates a teacher model. We define Agent Distillation as the persistent transfer of task-s …
We present AREX-2, an effort to advance the self-improving capability of LLM agents, which we define as the ability to iteratively refine a solution at test time. This ability rests on two complementary capabilities: reflection, which produces a solution better than the current one, and long-horizon execution, which ke …
World Action Models (WAMs) enable future-aware control by jointly modeling actions and environment dynamics. However, iterative diffusion or flow inference incurs substantial denoising latency. Prior inference state offers a natural opportunity for acceleration, yet changing planning contexts, observations, and interme …
Images capture the world at one moment, whereas video reveals how it changes. Image self-supervision learns spatial structure from a single moment, while video methods commonly learn temporal relationships inside a representation computed jointly from several frames. We ask whether watching a scene change can instead i …
Memory is critical for AI agents. Many existing agent-memory systems follow an Ahead-of-Time (AOT) design, constructing memory before a specific request arrives. While this reduces online serving cost, such request-agnostic memory construction can discard fine-grained information that later becomes important. To addres …
The widespread adoption of long-horizon agents has made model workloads increasingly input-heavy. Although prior work has substantially reduced the cost of long-context computation, prefill remains computationally expensive, and large KV caches continue to strain HBM and SSD capacity and data-transfer bandwidth. Togeth …
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative approach to elicit autonomous motivation for health behavior change. Generative AI (GenAI) offers new ways to deliver MI via conversational systems, but evidence on their design, assessment, and translation into interventions remains fragmented. This scoping review char …
