arXiv:2606.24597v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A world model predicts environment dynamics based on current observations and actions, serving as a core cognitive mechanism for reasoning and planning. In this work, we investigate how world modeling based on language models can further push the boundaries of general agents. (i) We first focus on building foundation models for agentic environment simulation. We introduce Qwen-AgentWorld-35B-A3B and Qwen-AgentWorld-397B-A17B, the first language world models capable of simulating agentic environments covering 7 domains via long chain-of-thought re
Advances in large language models are enabling more sophisticated environment simulation, pushing the boundaries of autonomous agent development.
This work represents a critical step towards more capable and general AI agents, potentially accelerating the automation of complex tasks and reshaping various industries.
AI agents can now be trained and evaluated in more comprehensive and realistic simulated environments, leading to faster development cycles and improved real-world performance.
