 ### Why this list exists
 
 Hundreds of papers are published on arXiv every week, and a growing number of them touch on AI agents. We go through them all, filter the ones that are directly relevant to the AI agent ecosystem, and categorize them so you don't have to. This list only includes papers published from January 2026 onward.
