ParaAgent: Reinforcing Parallel Acting in Open-World Tool Environments
Language model agents are increasingly deployed in open-world tool environments, which require balancing exploring unknown capabilities and exploiting known ones. Existing methods face a performance-efficiency tradeoff: they either rigidly decouple exploration and execution or interleave them without coordination. We argue that the key lies not in whether to decouple or interleave them, but in how to coordinate them across granularities. We introduce ParaAct, a structured parallel-action loop that combines phase-level Exploration $\rightleftharpoons$ Execution with action-level parallelism. To learn this loop, ParaAgent combines multi-agent cold-start demonstrations with reinforcement lea...
