על ומתחת לסולם ההפשטה: מיומנויות מבוססות קוד לסוכני שפה

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.31076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language agents struggle to act and learn in environments that require long sequences of low-level actions. Code-based abstractions can make these agents more productive by letting them invoke reusable skills instead of repeatedly selecting individual actions. The code handles recurring local decisions, while the language model decides which skills to use and how to combine them. Yet abstractions are leaky, and situations beyond a skill's capabilities may require a return to primitive actions. Motivated by this tradeoff between productivity and flexibility, we systematically study how code-based action abstraction affects the performance, inference cost, and learning of language agents. We study this in NetHack, a challenging, long-horizon ga
