☕️📝 Paper Link 📝☕️ https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.24597 Abstract: Qwen-AgentWorld introduces a new class of language world models designed to simulate how environments respond to an agent's actions, enabling agents to reason about future states before interacting with the real world. Rather than focusing solely on decision-making, the framework teaches language models to predict state transitions across seven interactive domains, including software engineering, terminal environments, web browsing, operating systems, Android, search, and MCP tool use, using over 10 million real interaction trajectories. The paper presents a three-stage training pipeline (continual pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning) alongside AgentWorldBench, a benchmark for evaluating simulation fidelity. Beyond building a strong world model, the authors demonstrate two complementary applications: using the model as a scalable, controllable environment simulator for reinforcement learning, and using world-model training as a foundation that improves downstream agent performance across a…
