Evolving Generalist Virtual Agents with Generative and Associative Memory

AAAI 2026technical

Generalist Virtual Agents (GVAs) powered by Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) exhibit impressive capabilities. However, their long-term learning is hampered by a core limitation: a failure to evolve beyond existing trajectories. This stems from memory systems that treat experiences as isolate
