Towards a Belief-Based World Model for LLM Agents

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Large language models (LLMs) are being used as policies for autonomous decision-making and planning in many domains. Despite their strong reasoning capabilities, LLMs struggle with long-horizon tasks, especially under partial observability. World models are a promising way to enhance policy performance, both during training and inference. During inference, agents currently use world models to simulate the consequences of candidate actions before committing to an action, which can improve decision-making. However, we argue that simulation alone is an incomplete interface for decision-making und
