PASK: Toward Intent-Aware Proactive Agents with Long-Term MemoryZhifei Xie, Zongzheng Hu, Fangda Ye et al.
Proactivity is a core expectation for AGI. Prior work remains largely confined to laboratory settings, leaving a clear gap in real-world proactive agent: depth, complexity, ambiguity, precision and real-time constraints. We study this setting, where useful intervention requires inferring latent needs from ongoing context and grounding actions in evolving user memory under latency and long-horizon constraints. We first propose DD-MM-PAS (Demand Detection, Memory Modeling, Proactive Agent System) as a general paradigm for streaming proactive AI agent. We instantiate this paradigm in Pask, with streaming IntentFlow model for DD, a hybrid memory (workspace, user, global) for long-term MM, PAS infra framework and introduce how these components form a closed loop. We also introduce LatentNeeds-Bench, a real-world benchmark built from user-consented data and refined through thousands of rounds of human editing. Experiments show that IntentFlow matches leading Gemini3-Flash models under latency constraints, while identifying deeper user intent.
Multi-agent Architecture Search via Agentic SupernetGuibin Zhang, Luyang Niu, Junfeng Fang et al.
Large Language Model (LLM)-empowered multi-agent systems extend the cognitive boundaries of individual agents through disciplined collaboration and interaction, while constructing these systems often requires labor-intensive manual designs. Despite the availability of methods to automate the design of agentic workflows, they typically seek to identify a static, complex, one-size-fits-all system, which, however, fails to dynamically allocate inference resources based on the difficulty and domain of each query. To address this challenge, we shift away from the pursuit of a monolithic agentic system, instead optimizing the \textbf{agentic supernet}, a probabilistic and continuous distribution of agentic architectures. We introduce MaAS, an automated framework that samples query-dependent agentic systems from the supernet, delivering high-quality solutions and tailored resource allocation (\textit{e.g.}, LLM calls, tool calls, token cost). Comprehensive evaluation across six benchmarks demonstrates that MaAS \textbf{(I)} requires only $6\sim45\%$ of the inference costs of existing handcrafted or automated multi-agent systems, \textbf{(II)} surpasses them by $0.54\%\sim11.82\%$, and \textbf{(III)} enjoys superior cross-dataset and cross-LLM-backbone transferability.
