AI agents get a ready-made library for native mobile UI

Appllama-skills turn a curated collection of top-grossing app screens into prompts an AI agent can use to design and render fully-functional React Native screens. The generated screens follow Apple design guidelines, include assets, motion, and are verified in a simulator loop.

Why it matters. Mobile developers and AI-tool builders can instantly prototype high-quality app screens without hand-crafting UI code.

MCP & SkillsLLMsAgents

Today in one paragraph. Today's batch shows AI slipping into everyday chores, from code reviews to voice assistants. For instance, tstack lets an autonomous AI agent fetch, test and merge pull requests without human clicks, while other tools add art to vocab apps, clean Android ads, and shrink LLMs to 4-bit.

    DiscoDemo: Discovering Efficient and Diverse Robot Demonstrations for Imitation Learning

    Behavior cloning for robotic manipulation is highly sensitive to the coverage of its training data, yet collecting diverse successful demonstrations remains costly. We study reinforcement learning (RL) not as a deployable controller, but as a data generator for downstream visuomotor imitation learni

    Continual Learning Exam: Benchmarking Long-Horizon RSI and Experiential Learning in LLM Agents

    Continual learning is the ability of LLM agents to improve over time by acquiring, refining, and applying knowledge from experience while retaining useful prior knowledge. It is essential for agents learning over long time horizons, yet current evaluations largely assess individual task performance

    InteractiveWorld: A Verifiable Human-Centric Environment for Building Better Interactive MLLM Assistants

    People have long dreamed of an assistant that is always there to guide them and remind what they forget, from new dishes to lost keys. Powered by multimodal large language models (MLLMs), egocentric AI assistants on wearable devices are bringing this dream within reach: they see what the user sees a

  4. Paper

    Trial by Trace: Benchmarking AI Agent Harnesses for Reliability and Failure Attribution

    LLM agents are increasingly used to solve real-world problems, and their effectiveness depends on both the underlying models and the harnesses that support their operation. However, most existing benchmarks focus on model capabilities and overall agent performance, with limited attention to the eval

  5. Paper

    World-in-Context: Interactive Video World Modeling with In-Context Conditioning

    Interactive video world models require coordinated control over viewing perspectives, character actions, and camera motion. Existing methods typically leave view modes implicit in text captions, conflate action with camera motion, and inject controls through fragmented architectural pathways that ca

  6. Paper

    Function-Space Temporal Self-Distillation for Policy Optimization

    Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) improves reasoning in language models, but scalar outcomes provide coarse supervision over response trajectories. Self-distillation offers denser token-level guidance by comparing an unassisted policy with a feedback-informed self-teacher, yet th

    How Much Feedback Is Needed to Break Template Protection? The Geometric Vulnerability of Biometric Authentication

    Biometric authentication systems increasingly use privacy-preserving mechanisms to protect sensitive templates. However, the authentication interface itself may still leak information that enables reconstruction attacks. Prior attacks exploit released similarity scores, whereas more advanced systems

    Trajectory2Gym: Decision-Grounded Compositional Interaction Synthesis for Tool-Use Agents

    Successful tool-use trajectories are not necessarily useful supervision. Even successful interactions may underrepresent multi-step dependencies or contain actions that are unjustified by the information visible to the agent at decision time. We identify two coupled requirements for effective trajec

    Steering Black-Box Large Language Model Agents with Pitfall Anticipation World Model

    Frontier black-box Large Language Model (LLM) agents are proficient at long-horizon reasoning and precise action generation. However, when it comes to a specific agentic task, they have no internalized knowledge of how that particular environment unfolds. A world model offers a natural remedy, provi
