Reward AI Releases OM-1: A Robot Policy Trained on Human Demonstrations Only, With No Teleoperation or On-Robot Data

Reward AI released OM-1, a general-purpose manipulation policy trained solely on human demonstrations from a sensorized glove, with no teleoperation or robot data.

Reward AI announced OM-1 (Omnibody Model 1), a general-purpose robot manipulation policy trained only on human demonstrations captured via Omnibody Hand, a 7-DoF wearable glove with tactile, proximity, and in-hand camera sensing. The system uses electromagnetic hand-pose tracking, cutting mean overshoot error to 9.5 mm versus 24.9 mm for visual-inertial at 67 cm/s (a 60% reduction), and reportedly learns brand-new tasks from under 30 minutes of human data. A separate RL-trained control layer runs on its own clock so policy inference latency never stalls motion, and the policy spans industrial arms, legged humanoids, and wheeled mobile manipulators. No weights, code, dataset, API, paper, or benchmark comparisons have been released, so claims are demonstration-backed only.

MIT creates method to force AI to comply with safety rules

MIT researchers published HardFlow, a method enforcing hard safety constraints on flow-matching generative models' final outputs without retraining.

MIT researchers led by Zeyang Li and Navid Azizan developed HardFlow, a trajectory-optimization method that enforces strict, non-negotiable constraints on flow-matching generative models by checking rule satisfaction only at the final generation step. Published in IEEE TPAMI, it outperformed six rival projection and guidance methods on four simulated benchmarks including D3IL robotic manipulation, Maze2D, physical process control, and image editing. All results are simulation-only, with no independent reproduction yet reported.

Cognitive Extensions for Dual-Process Language Agents: Memory and Self-Reflection in Interactive Environments

Researchers extend the SwiftSage dual-process agent with adaptive memory and self-reflection modules, improving scores in interactive environments.

The work adds an Adaptive Memory Module (AMM) for salience-gated episodic storage and trigger-driven retrieval, and a Self-Reflection Module (SRM) for bounded execution-time validation and corrective intervention, to the SwiftSage agent. Controlled ablations on ScienceWorld across four configurations show the full system achieves the best mean final score (64.62), success rate (43.17%), and successful-step efficiency (19.33 steps). SRM is the strongest standalone contributor, suggesting execution-time control is the dominant bottleneck while episodic memory helps once the runtime loop is stable.

Affora: A Design System for Agent-Friendly Interfaces

Affora is a design system making interfaces legible to computer-use agents while preserving human workflows, with reusable components and executable checks.

Affora supports both human users and computer-use agents through a shared interface rather than a separate agent-only surface. Three controlled studies cover component implementations, visual variation, and interaction-design principles, producing guidance from individual components to complete sites with reusable implementations and executable checks. Evaluation on independently authored interfaces shows gains where agent-readability deficits exist, limited effects where they do not, and a workflow case gives preliminary evidence of reduced interaction cost.

EvolveTrade: Experience-Driven Policy Refinement for Self-Evolving LLM Trading Agents

EvolveTrade lets LLM trading agents self-refine their tool-use policy from realized portfolio feedback, improving Sharpe ratios.

EvolveTrade treats a tool-using trading agent's system prompt as a text-parameterized policy that a Policy Agent revises after each update interval using accumulated decision traces and realized portfolio feedback, keeping the backbone LLM fixed. Experiments across multiple market regimes and two LLM backbones show improved Sharpe Ratio and Cumulative Return over fixed-policy baselines in most settings. Behavioral analyses show evolved policies increase code-mediated analysis and activate regime-relevant computations, with case-level attributions linking policy changes to returns.

AI for Games in the Foundation Model Era

Survey organizes foundation-model AI for games into six roles and analyzes which capabilities transfer across playing, design, building, runtime adaptation, and testing.

A survey maps foundation-model and learned world-model research across the game lifecycle into six roles: playing/acting, modeling players and games, designing games, building/maintaining games, runtime generation/adaptation, and testing/evaluation. The authors identify cross-role connections such as trajectories training world models and design specifications driving executable implementations. Control schemes, rules, engine interfaces, state representations, and player contexts often remain setting-specific, so downstream claims require validation in the target setting. Evaluation is most standardized for bounded game playing, while persistent state, repeated revision, validated player modeling, and automated testing remain less established.

Evidence-Grounded Agentic Formulation Development in an Autonomous Laboratory

Andromeda 2, an agentic laboratory system, reaches a 50% high-performance hit rate for paclitaxel SEDDS formulations versus 17% for its predecessor and 2% for DoE.

Andromeda 2 is an agentic system that reasons over structured in-house experimental evidence and invokes computational and experimental tools to design and execute successive formulation batches for self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS). For paclitaxel it achieved a 50% high-performance hit rate versus 17% for Andromeda 1 and 2% for a wet-lab DoE campaign, identifying 12 formulations meeting all four target product profile objectives versus 6 and 0. A selected full-TPP formulation reached approximately 19% w/w apparent paclitaxel loading, about 3.3-fold higher than a published paclitaxel S-SEDDS, and an ablation showed structured evidence access increased mean AUC by 34%.

Agora: Git as Shared Memory for Collective AutoResearch

Agora records multi-agent research as an append-only Git DAG; 13 LLM workers ran nearly 12 days on a weight-transfer problem.

Agora stores every result, hypothesis, and verification as an immutable commit in a Git-stored DAG, with a derived index exposing the frontier and verification status of claims. In a nearly 12-day run, 13 language-model workers with no assigned tasks or central planner published 1,703 contributions on initializing a frozen 119.6M-parameter attention-SSM hybrid from 141 donor models. They improved the evaluator from 3.39 to 1.899 bits per byte, closing 62% of the gap to a trained GPT-2 124M, with 165 independent reproductions posted and none failing.

Learning-Guided Planning in Large Dynamic Action Spaces: Budgeted Tree Search for One-to-Many Mobile Charging

LP-BTS uses graph proposal policies, learned critics, and budgeted PUCT search to plan mobile charging across dynamic action spaces up to 2,813 stops.

LP-BTS is a learning-guided planning architecture for one-to-many mobile charging, where N=250 sensors induce roughly 1,125 initial candidate charging stops. A graph proposal policy concentrates candidate support, a learned value critic evaluates leaves, and edge-budgeted PUCT compares simulated futures, letting a single frozen checkpoint cover action universes from 736 to 2,813 stops. On a sealed 30-scenario confirmatory bank it attains the highest observed survival (0.4545) and alive-AUC (0.8031), though its +0.0066 survival edge over the strongest engineered comparator is statistically unresolved.

Agent Harness vs Agent Framework vs MCP: Which Layer Owns the Loop, State, Tools, Permissions, and Recovery

Architecture explainer separates agent harnesses, frameworks, and MCP by which layer owns the loop, state, permissions, and recovery.

The article distinguishes agent harnesses (OpenAI Codex, Claude Agent SDK), which own the execution loop, sandbox, permission model, and recovery; frameworks (LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, Microsoft Agent Framework), which supply composable primitives; and MCP, a stateless JSON-RPC wire protocol governed by the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation since December 2025. An ownership matrix maps the execution loop, state, tool transport, permissions, recovery, sandboxing, and multi-agent orchestration to each layer. The 2026-07-28 MCP specification made the protocol fully stateless, retiring the initialize handshake and session headers.
