Fast-LeWM: Parallel Action-Prefix Prediction Slashes Latent World Model Planning Costs
Researchers introduce Fast-LeWM, a latent world model that accelerates visual planning by predicting future states from action prefixes in parallel. The approach cuts computational costs and error buildup, outperforming prior one-step transition models.

IBM's open-source CUGA agent harness skips the plumbing, goes straight to the prompt
IBM's open-source CUGA framework flips the typical agent development model on its head by handling orchestration, state management, and planning. Developers are left to write only a tool list and a prompt. Over two dozen single-file apps demonstrate the approach, from a movie recommender to a multi-agent lead-generation system, all deployable in governed production without needing a rewrite.

OPID gives language agents a reward signal dense enough to ditch external memory
OPID extracts hierarchical skill supervision from completed on-policy trajectories, providing dense token-level guidance for language agent training without external memory. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and Search-based QA show improved performance and sample efficiency over outcome-only RL and existing skill-distillation methods.
