Researchers from the Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) and Carnegie Mellon University developed SR²AM, an AI agent architecture that decomposes decision-making into self-regulation, simulative planning, and reactive execution. This approach enabled SR²AM-v1.0-30B to achieve an overall Pass@1 score of 71.3, competitive with much larger models, while consuming 25.8–95.3% fewer reasoning tokens than other 30-32B agentic LLMs.

Key insights

  • Decomposing agentic reasoning into distinct, self-regulated planning, simulative reasoning, and reactive execution systems provides superior accuracy-efficiency tradeoffs.
  • A learned 'configurator' (System III) can dynamically decide when and how deeply to engage in planning, avoiding the inefficiency of constant deliberation.
  • Grounded deliberation in future-state prediction via a world model offers a unified and explicit planning structure applicable across diverse tasks without domain-specific engineering.
