Agent Systems

Agent systems covers the move from single model prompts to AI that plans, uses tools, and acts across multiple steps. Articles here examine agent architectures, memory, tool use, and the evaluation problems that make autonomous behavior hard to trust. We focus on how these systems are actually built and where current designs still fall short.

The Blessing of Heterogeneity in Federated Q-Learning: Linear Speedup and Beyond.

The Blessing of Heterogeneity in Federated Q-Learning: Linear Speedup and Beyond

A team from Carnegie Mellon University flipped conventional wisdom on its head — proving that agents with different behavior policies don’t just tolerate each other’s differences, they actively benefit from them. And a novel importance-averaging scheme eliminates the last remaining…

Memory Gym: Endless Tasks to Benchmark Memory Capabilities of Agents

A team from TU Dortmund and Universiteit Leiden transformed three 2D partially observable environments into theoretically infinite challenges — and discovered that GRU, a decade-old recurrent cell, consistently and decisively beats Transformer-XL at sustaining memory over long, escalating horizons.

Agentic AI for Personalized Knee Braces: How sEMG, Facial Expressions, and LLMs Combine to Configure Rehab Devices

Donghua University’s five-agent AI system cross-checks muscle signals against facial expressions and verbal reports to configure personalized rehabilitation braces — catching cases where patients exaggerate, suppress, or simply can’t articulate their discomfort accurately. It achieves 0.88 parameter accuracy versus 0.13…
