arXiv:2503.03505v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advancements in Large Language Model~(LLM)-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have demonstrated remarkable potential for tackling complex decision-making tasks. However, existing frameworks inevitably rely on serialized execution paradigms, where agents must complete sequential LLM planning before taking action. This fundamental constraint severely limits real-time responsiveness and adaptation, which is crucial in dynamic environments with ever-changing scenarios like Minecraft. In this paper, we propose a novel parallelized planning-acting framework for LLM-based MAS, featuring a dual-thread architecture with interruptible execution to enable concurrent planning and acting. Specifically, our framework comprises two core threads: (1) a planning thread driven by a centralized memory system, maintaining synchronization of environmental states and agent communication to support dynamic decision-making; and (2) an acting thread equipped with a comprehensive skill library, enabling automated task execution through recursive decomposition. Extensive experiments on Minecraft demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

arXiv:2506.18485v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards~(RLVR) has emerged as a powerful learn-to-reason paradigm for large reasoning models to tackle complex tasks. However, the current RLVR paradigm is still not efficient enough, as it works in a trial-and-error manner. To perform better, the model needs to explore the reward space by numerously generating responses and learn from fragmented reward signals, blind to the overall reward patterns. Fortunately, verifiable rewards make the natural language description of the reward function possible, and meanwhile, LLMs have demonstrated strong in-context learning ability. This motivates us to explore if large reasoning models can benefit from a \textbf{motivation} of the task, \textit{i.e.}, awareness of the reward function, during the reinforcement finetuning process, as we humans sometimes do when learning. In this paper, we introduce \textit{\textbf{M}otivation-\textbf{e}nhanced \textbf{R}einforcement \textbf{F}inetuning}~(\textbf{MeRF}), an intuitive yet effective method enhancing reinforcement finetuning of LLMs by involving \emph{``telling LLMs rules of the game''}. Specifically, \textbf{MeRF} directly injects the reward specification into the prompt, which serves as an in-context motivation for the model to be aware of the optimization objective. This simple modification leverages the in-context learning ability of LLMs, aligning generation with optimization, thereby incentivizing the model to generate desired outputs from both inner motivation and external reward. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that \textbf{MeRF} achieves substantial performance gains over the RLVR baseline. Moreover, ablation studies show that MeRF performs better with greater consistency between the in-context motivation and the external reward function, while the model also demonstrates an ability to adapt to misleading motivations through reinforcement finetuning.
