Real-Time Reasoning Agents in Evolving Environments

Understand

Agents in the real world must make not only logical but also timely judgments.

• This requires continuous awareness of the dynamic environment: hazards emerge, opportunities arise, and other agents act, while the agent's reasoning is still unfolding.
• Despite advances in language model reasoning, existing approaches fail to account for this dynamic nature.
• We introduce real-time reasoning as a new problem formulation for agents in evolving environments and build Real-Time Reasoning Gym to demonstrate it.
