In this episode, we unpack three fresh arXiv papers shaping how AI creates, reasons, and acts. First, arXiv:2509.22622 explores real-time, steerable long-form video generation you can guide on the fly (PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.22622).

Next, arXiv:2509.25454 integrates tree search directly into reinforcement-learning training for verifiable reasoning—think math and code with checkable rewards (PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.25454).

Finally, arXiv:2510.01051 introduces a unified “gym” for multi-turn, tool-using LLM agents so results are comparable and scalable (PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.01051). We break down why each matters, the key technical ideas, and what they could unlock for creators, engineers, and autonomous AI workflows.
