Embodied agents in open-ended environments such as Minecraft increasingly adopt planner–controller architectures, with large language models acting as high-level planners. While planning has advanced rapidly, control remains underexplored. Existing systems commonly rely on a monolithic policy to...

Post-training quantization has emerged as a widely adopted technique for compressing and accelerating the inference of Large Language Models (LLMs). The primary challenges in LLMs quantization stem from activation outliers, which significantly degrade model performance especially at lower bit pre...

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made rapid progress, yet their reasoning ability often lags behind strong text-only LLMs. Bridging this gap typically requires large-scale multimodal reasoning data or reinforcement learning, incurring substantial cost. An appealing alternative is par...

Evolutionary agentic systems intensify the trade-off between computational efficiency and reasoning capability by repeatedly invoking large language models (LLMs) during inference. This setting raises a central question: how can an agent dynamically select an LLM that is sufficiently capable for...
