PatchWorld: Gradient-Free Optimization of Executable World Models

Researchers introduce PatchWorld, a gradient-free framework that converts offline trajectories into executable Python world models for AI agents operating in partially observable environments. The method achieves 76.4% success on planning tasks without requiring LLM calls during prediction, while revealing a fundamental tradeoff between observation accuracy and decision-making utility in executable world models.

Do Agents Think Deeper? A Mechanistic Investigation of Layer-Wise Dynamics in Sequential Planning

Researchers conducted a mechanistic analysis of how large language models allocate computational depth when operating as autonomous agents performing multi-turn planning and tool use. The study reveals that agents progressively recruit deeper layers as task complexity increases, contrasting with prior findings that LLMs underutilize depth in single-turn tasks, suggesting adaptive depth allocation emerges in sequential reasoning scenarios.

CreativityBench: Evaluating Agent Creative Reasoning via Affordance-Based Tool Repurposing

Researchers introduce CreativityBench, a benchmark with 4K entities and 150K+ affordance annotations to evaluate how well large language models can creatively repurpose tools by reasoning about their properties rather than canonical uses. Evaluations across 10 state-of-the-art LLMs reveal significant limitations: models struggle to identify correct parts, affordances, and physical mechanisms needed for non-obvious solutions, with performance gains from scaling and reasoning strategies like Chain-of-Thought proving limited.
