Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents significantly extend the utility of LLMs by interacting with dynamic environments. However, enabling agents to continually learn new tasks without catastrophic forgetting remains a critical challenge, known as the stability–plasticity dilemma.In this work, we argue that this dilemma fundamentally arises from the failure to explicitly distinguish between common knowledge shared across tasks and conflicting knowledge introduced by task-specific interference. To address this, we propose Agent-Dice, a parameter fusion framework based on directional consensus evaluation.Concretely, Agent-Dice disentangles knowledge updates through a two-stage process: geometric consensus filtering to prune conflicting gradients, and curvature-based importance weighting to amplify shared semantics.We provide a rigorous theoretical analysis that establishes the validity of the proposed fusion scheme and offers insight into the origins of the stability–plasticity dilemma. Extensive experiments on GUI agents and tool-use agent domains demonstrate that Agent-Dice exhibits outstanding continual learning performance with minimal computational overhead and parameter updates.

Diffusion large language models (DLLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive (AR) generation, uniquely offering token-level probabilities under bidirectional context. However, the semantics of their native uncertainty estimates remain underexplored. In this work, we uncover a calibration paradox inherent to the bidirectional generation mechanism of state-of-the-art DLLMs. Concretely, we demonstrate that diffusion confidence is structurally distinct from AR likelihood. Notably, LLaDA-8B is highly miscalibrated (31.2% ECE) on mathematical reasoning benchmarks, yet possesses superior discriminative power (0.826 AUROC), significantly outperforming comparable AR baselines in single-pass settings (0.611 AUROC). We diagnose that this paradox arises because diffusion confidence functions less like a probability of correctness and more like a proxy for structural consistency enabled by the model’s bidirectional access to the entire solution path. We further show that lightweight post-hoc calibration can reconcile this gap, reducing ECE by over 60% while preserving the strong ranking signal. Our findings suggest that DLLMs offer a unique, cost-efficient uncertainty signal for reasoning tasks that complements expensive AR approaches.

Graphical user interface (GUI) agents are increasingly used to execute natural-language instructions on user interfaces, yet real users may issue infeasible instructions due to benign mistakes. A reliable agent should not only know how to act, but also when not to act. In this work, we introduce ConflictGUI, a benchmark covering instruction-internal conflicts and instruction-GUI context conflicts to study conflict-aware termination. Our evaluation reveals severe execution-biased over-compliance: agents that perform well on feasible tasks often continue to execute blindly under conflicting instructions. To mitigate this behavior, we propose ConflictGuard, an inference-time framework that aligns an agent’s feasibility awareness with its action generation. ConflictGuard contains two coupled components: a feasibility verification protocol that guides the agent to assess instruction logic and GUI-side evidence before acting, and a conditional action modulation mechanism that steers agent’s over-compliance into termination-oriented behavior. Experiments across five widely-used agents demonstrate that ConflictGuard improves average conflict task success rate significantly, while preserving normal GUI-task performance. These results validate that a lightweight inference-time intervention can substantially boost GUI Agent’s competence to identify inappropriate execution scenarios and refrain from unnecessary actions.

Existing Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM)-based agents face significant challenges in handling complex GUI (Graphical User Interface) interactions on devices. These challenges arise from the dynamic and structured nature of GUI environments, which integrate text, images, and spatial relationships, as well as the variability in action spaces across different pages and tasks. To address these limitations, we propose MobA, a novel MLLM-based mobile assistant system. MobA introduces an adaptive planning module that incorporates a reflection mechanism for error recovery and dynamically adjusts plans to align with the real environment contexts and action module’s execution capacity. Additionally, a multifaceted memory module provides comprehensive memory support to enhance adaptability and efficiency. We also present MobBench, a dataset designed for complex mobile interactions. Experimental results on MobBench and AndroidArena demonstrate MobA’s ability to handle dynamic GUI environments and perform complex mobile tasks.
