Agent-G2 ALFWorld 1.5B

Agent-G2 ALFWorld 1.5B is an ALFWorld-specialized language-agent checkpoint initialized from Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct and post-trained with Agent-G2: Gaussian Guidance for Agentic Reinforcement Learning.

Agent-G2 samples an expert-prefix depth for each task from an adaptive Gaussian distribution. The distribution is updated from rollout statistics already collected for policy optimization, without additional probe rollouts or a learned depth predictor.

Important: This checkpoint is designed for research in the sandboxed ALFWorld text environment. It is not a general-purpose chat model or a controller for a physical robot.

Model Details

Item Description
Base model Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct
Architecture Qwen2ForCausalLM
Checkpoint format BF16 Safetensors
Configured context length 32,768 tokens
Target environment ALFWorld / ALFRED text environment
Post-training Agent-G2 with GRPO
Language English
Required output format <think>...</think><action>...</action>

Although the tokenizer metadata contains a larger generic maximum length, the model configuration declares 32,768 positions and the released training recipe uses at most 4,096 prompt tokens plus 512 response tokens.

Evaluation

The Agent-G2 project reports the following ALFWorld success rates for this 1.5B checkpoint:

Task group Success rate
Pick 96.8%
Look 100.0%
Clean 100.0%
Heat 92.9%
Cool 84.2%
Pick Two 94.7%
All tasks 95.3%

Expert-prefix guidance is enabled during training but disabled during validation in the released configuration (gmsv.apply_on_validation=false). The reported results therefore do not require an expert trajectory at inference time.

These results are reported by the Agent-G2 repository and have not been independently reproduced in this model card. Evaluation variance is not currently available. Results may vary with the ALFWorld version, task split, prompt template, action history, random seed, and decoding configuration.

Intended Use

This checkpoint is intended for:

  • reproducing Agent-G2 results in the ALFWorld text environment;
  • research on long-horizon language agents and agentic reinforcement learning;
  • studying adaptive expert-prefix guidance;
  • evaluating action selection over an environment-provided admissible action set.

For faithful evaluation, use the ALFWorld environment, prompt template, action parser, and rollout loop provided by the Agent-G2 repository. A standalone generation only demonstrates that the checkpoint loads successfully; it does not reproduce the interactive benchmark.

Environment Interface

At every environment step, provide the task, current observation, recent history, and admissible actions. The released parser expects English output containing reasoning and one action selected from the current admissible set:

<think>Reason about the observation and admissible actions.</think>
<action>put apple 1 in/on fridge 1</action>

Missing tags or outputs containing Chinese characters are marked invalid by the released ALFWorld parser. The action inside <action>...</action> must match an action that the environment currently allows.

Quick Start

pip install -U transformers accelerate torch

The following example performs one ALFWorld-style generation step. Replace the placeholders with state supplied by the environment:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "xiamoent/Agent-G2-alfworld-1.5b"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto",
)
model.eval()

task_description = "<ALFWorld task>"
current_observation = "<current observation>"
admissible_actions = ["<admissible action 1>", "<admissible action 2>"]
actions_text = ", ".join(admissible_actions)

prompt = f"""
You are an expert agent operating in the ALFRED Embodied Environment.
Your task is to: {task_description}
Your current observation is: {current_observation}
Your admissible actions of the current situation are: [{actions_text}].

Now take one action. Enclose your reasoning within <think> </think> tags, then
present one admissible action within <action> </action> tags.
""".strip()

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

with torch.inference_mode():
    output_ids = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=512,
        do_sample=True,
        temperature=0.4,
        top_p=0.8,
        top_k=20,
        repetition_penalty=1.1,
    )

new_tokens = output_ids[0, inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]
response = tokenizer.decode(new_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

The released checkpoint's generation_config.json defaults to temperature 0.7. The example uses temperature 0.4 to match the released validation configuration.

Training

Agent-G2 uses expert ALFWorld trajectories as prefix guidance during training, followed by policy rollouts and GRPO updates. The guidance depth is sampled per task from a Gaussian distribution estimated online from existing rollout statistics. Prefix guidance is a training mechanism; it is not required for validation or deployment.

The expert-prefix store contains 3,553 ALFWorld trajectories with action lengths from 3 to 15. The released training recipe specifies:

Configuration Value
Learning rate 1e-6
Training batch size 16
Rollouts per task 8
Maximum prompt length 4096
Maximum response length 512
Maximum ALFWorld steps 20
KL-loss coefficient 0.01
Invalid-action penalty 0.1
Configured training epochs 300
Released compute configuration One node with 8 GPUs

See the paper-locked run_alfworld.sh for the complete recipe. The public repository does not identify the exact checkpoint step or selection rule used for this Hub upload, so the table documents the released recipe rather than claiming that this artifact is the final epoch checkpoint.

Limitations

  • The model is specialized for the text-based ALFWorld environment and may not generalize to other simulators or physical environments.
  • It can produce malformed or inadmissible actions; environment-side validation is required.
  • Performance is sensitive to prompt formatting, observation history, decoding settings, random seed, and environment configuration.
  • The reported evaluation does not include variance across repeated runs.
  • The model may inherit factual errors, biases, and other limitations from the base model and training data.
  • This checkpoint should not directly control physical systems or be used for consequential real-world actions without independent safety mechanisms.
