Is monolithic scaling the only path to AGI? This paper challenges the dogma that purely scaling a single model is enough to achieve universal super-intelligence. Instead, we identify Agentic AI as the necessary evolution for handling complex, real-world task distributions to achieve AGI in the human…
Deploying Large Language Models to data-scarce programming domains poses significant challenges, particularly for kernel synthesis on emerging Domain-Specific Architectures where a "Data Wall" limits available training data. While models excel on data-rich platforms like CUDA, they suffer catastroph…
Reinforcement Learning has revolutionized decision-making processes in dynamic environments, yet it often struggles with autonomously detecting and achieving goals without clear feedback signals. For example, in a Source Term Estimation problem, the lack of precise environmental information makes it…
Evaluating the performance of LLMs in multi-turn human-agent interactions presents significant challenges, particularly due to the complexity and variability of user behavior. In this paper, we introduce HammerBench, a novel benchmark framework for assessing LLMs’ function-calling capabilities in re…
Standing-up control is crucial for humanoid robots, with the potential for integration into current locomotion and loco-manipulation systems. Existing approaches are either limited to simulations that neglect hardware constraints or rely on predefined ground-specific motion trajectories, failing to…
Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have enabled the development of mobile agents that can understand visual inputs and follow user instructions, unlocking new possibilities for automating complex tasks on mobile devices. However, applying these models to real-world mobile sc…
Large language models have demonstrated impressive value in performing as autonomous agents when equipped with external tools and API calls. Nonetheless, effectively harnessing their potential for executing complex tasks crucially relies on enhancements in their function-calling capabilities. This p…
Driven by inherent uncertainty and the sim-to-real gap, robust reinforcement learning (RL) seeks to improve resilience against the complexity and variability in agent-environment sequential interactions. Despite the existence of a large number of RL benchmarks, there is a lack of standardized benchm…
Recent works like Tree-of-Thought (ToT) and Reasoning via Planning (RAP) aim to augment the multi-step reasoning capabilities of LLMs by using tree-search algorithms. These methods rely on prompting a pre-trained model to serve as a value function and focus on problems with low search depth. As a re…
Language models as intelligent agents push the boundaries of sequential decision-making agents but struggle with limited knowledge of environmental dynamics and exponentially huge action space. Recent efforts like GLAM and TWOSOME manually constrain the action space to a restricted subset and employ…
Large sequence models (SM) such as GPT series and BERT have displayed outstanding performance and generalization capabilities in natural language process, vision and recently reinforcement learning. A natural follow-up question is how to abstract multi-agent decision making also as an sequence model…
Trust region methods rigorously enabled reinforcement learning (RL) agents to learn monotonically improving policies, leading to superior performance on a variety of tasks. Unfortunately, when it comes to multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), the property of monotonic improvement may not simpl…
Policy gradient (PG) methods are popular reinforcement learning (RL) methods where a baseline is often applied to reduce the variance of gradient estimates. In multi-agent RL (MARL), although the PG theorem can be naturally extended, the effectiveness of multi-agent PG (MAPG) methods degrades as th…
