PANDO: Efficient Multimodal AI Agents via Online Skill Distillation

PANDO introduces an efficient multimodal AI agent framework that improves performance while reducing computational costs through online skill distillation, achieving 58.3% success on VisualWebArena tasks with 58-61% fewer tokens than competing approaches. The system addresses inefficiencies in web agent design by maintaining a skill library and employing hierarchical routing, visual compression, and cache-aware prompting without requiring expensive pre-evaluation.

SEA-Eval: A Benchmark for Evaluating Self-Evolving Agents Beyond Episodic Assessment

Researchers introduce SEA-Eval, a new benchmark for evaluating self-evolving AI agents that go beyond single-task execution by measuring how agents improve across sequential tasks and accumulate experience over time. The benchmark reveals significant inefficiencies in current state-of-the-art frameworks, exposing up to 31.2x differences in token consumption despite identical success rates, highlighting a critical bottleneck in agent development.

From raw interaction to reusable knowledge: Rethinking memory for AI agents

Microsoft Research highlights a counterintuitive problem where giving AI agents more memory actually reduces their effectiveness. As interaction logs accumulate, they become large, filled with irrelevant content, and difficult to search through, making it harder for agents to find relevant information for current tasks.
