    CoMAP: Co-Evolving World Models and Agent Policies for LLM Agents

    -cross Abstract: Equipping language agents with world models enables them to anticipate environment dynamics and evaluate candidate actions before execution. However, existing textual world models are typically fixed after training, preventing them from adapting to the on-policy state-action distributions induced by an evolving agent. Meanwhile, agent-improvement methods often rely on external rewards or verifiers, limiting their applicability in realistic interactive environments. In this paper, we propose COMAP, a novel framework that co-evolves textual world models and agent policies through closed-loop interaction. At each decision step, the world model predicts future state feedback for candidate actions, and the agent performs future-aware reflection by estimating the reliability of this feedback and refining its action accordingly. The resulting on-policy trajectories are then used to update the world model via self-distillation, allowing it to better match the agent's evolving interaction distribution. Across embodied task planning, Web navigation, and tool-use benchmarks, COMAP consistently outperforms competitive baselines, e.g., +16.75% relative improvement with Qwen3-4B. Further analyses show that the co-evolutionary loop improves the world model's prediction accuracy over time and leads to more effective long-horizon decision-making.

Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv

It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

It clears the bar without leading strongly on any one factor. A middling score is not a claim that the story is important — only that nothing about it is weak.

Link-outLink-out, because it scores 0.40, below the 0.50 bar for a write-up. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Blended score 0.398 — every figure below is computed, none of it is editorial.
FactorWeightScore ContributionWhere it came from
Corroboration 0.35 0.39 +0.135 34% 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.
Source trustleads 0.25 0.85 +0.212 53% arXiv is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened

Equipping language agents with world models enables them to anticipate environment dynamics and evaluate candidate actions before execution. However, existing textual world models are typically fixed after training, preventing them from adapting to the on-policy state-action distributions induced by an evolving agent. Meanwhile, agent-improvement methods often rely on external rewards or verifiers, limiting their applicability in realistic interactive environments. In this paper, we propose COMAP, a novel framework that co-evolves textual world models and agent policies through closed-loop interaction.
