    AgentGarten enables evolving agents via code-driven worlds and neural rendering

    AgentGarten couples explicit simulators with a shared neural renderer trained by Adversarial Forcing to create real-time interactive environments. Pretrained agents learn efficiently from rendered observations, improving through playbooks across rounds, achieving tool-use strategies in just a few games.

    Learn2Play Bench tests LLM agents' ability to learn novel rules from interaction

    Learn2Play Bench introduces text-based games with hidden, unfamiliar rules to evaluate how well LLM agents learn from experience without weight updates. Experiments show raw memory retention aids learning, humans outperform agents by exploring more, and agent harnesses impact performance and cost.
