EnvCraft: Synthesizing Executable Environments in Agentic RL for Claw-like Agent

Abstract

The paradigm of LLMs has rapidly shifted from passive language interfaces to autonomous Claw-like agents that execute long-horizon tasks across stateful workspaces. While Agentic Reinforcement Learning (Agentic RL) provides a promising path to optimize these agents, its scaling is heavily bottlenecked by the severe scarcity of interactive training environments. Existing synthetic environments are strictly limited to tool-calling endpoints, rendering them insufficient for accommodating the end-to-end real-world demands of claw-like agents. To bridge this gap, we introduce EnvCraft, an automated framework for synthesizing executable environments and scalable training data. Specifically, EnvCraft employs an environment synthesis engine to build sandbox-isolated workspaces, alongside a topology-aware data generation engine to produce coherent task trajectories. Overall, we synthesize 139 interactive environments comprising approximately 20K complex tasks for Agentic RL training. Experiments on Qwen3/3.5 models (8B-32B) show that our method yields gains of up to +11.9% on Claw-style benchmarks and +8.0% on general tool-use benchmarks, with concurrent reductions in inference token cost. The results confirm that synthesized executable environments provide robust and generalizable learning signals for training.

CyrillicQA: The Influence of Phonetically Encoded Secret Language on LLM Performance

Due to the selection of their training data, large language models (LLMs) perform best on standard-language inputs from languages using the Latin alphabet with large speaker populations, while disadvantaging other language varieties. Nevertheless, they can also be a versatile tool for preserving precisely such endangered languages. But do they also possess the necessary creativity and capacity for abstraction to decode phonetically encoded language the same way humans do?

When Robots Mishear Us: Mapping the Safety Risks of Voice-Controlled Embodied AI

We investigate whether automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors in user input can lead to unsafe outputs from Embodied AI (EAI) models. We find that ASR errors can lead to harmful instructions being accepted and executed by EAI models, thereby reducing safety. We simulate ASR errors and combine them with existing safety benchmarks (SafeAgentBench and POEX) to evaluate how different errors affect embodied AI safety. We find that some of them preserve semantic structure but increase harmful ambiguity, while others weaken the model refusal behaviour and allow unsafe plans to be generated and executed. We show that in some cases automatic correction of ASR errors can reduce the risk, but this is not always effective. Overall, we show that ASR errors lead to significant safety risks for embodied AI.

AI Alignment through a Game-theoretic Lens: A Survey

As large language models and increasingly capable AI agents are deployed in high-risk settings, aligning them with complex human values has become a central challenge. Existing alignment methods, while effective in improving helpfulness, harmlessness, and controllability, often struggle to capture real-world preferences that are context-dependent, non-transitive, and shaped by dynamic multi-party interactions. This survey reviews AI alignment through a game-theoretic lens. Specifically, it organizes recent progress around key game-theoretic elements and synthesizes the literature along three challenges: preference diversity, alignment priority, and temporal dynamics. This perspective clarifies where current alignment methods genuinely benefit from game-theoretic analysis, where the framework is looser, and what challenges remain in building robust, adaptive, and verifiable AI systems.
