Closes #511

Adds a notice in README.md that the EMPO² paper's implementation code is forthcoming in this repository.

Changes

  • README.md — Inserted a new bullet at the top of the ⚡ Articles section (line 49) announcing the Exploratory Memory-Augmented LLM Agent via Hybrid On- and Off-Policy Optimization (EMPO²) arXiv paper and explicitly stating that the corresponding implementation is being prepared and will be released in this repository.

Motivation

The paper references this repository as the home for the open-sourced implementation, but the repo contained no mention of the paper or its code status. This caused confusion for users (e.g., Issue #511) who arrived expecting to find the code and found no indication of whether it had been released or was planned. The added entry sets clear expectations without misrepresenting the current state of the code.

Testing

  • Rendered README.md locally to confirm the new bullet appears correctly formatted under the ⚡ Articles header and is ordered before the existing dated entries.
  • Verified all existing links in the section remain intact and unmodified.

This new Articles entry breaks the established formatting in this section (other bullets include a date and a hyperlink to the referenced post/paper). Consider linking the paper title to its arXiv page and using the same date prefix (or an explicit "TBD" date) so the list stays consistent. Also consider including an ASCII alias like "EMPO^2" alongside "EMPO²" so users searching for the issue/paper name can find it reliably.

Suggested change
- *Exploratory Memory-Augmented LLM Agent via Hybrid On- and Off-Policy Optimization* (EMPO²) arXiv paper. The corresponding implementation code is being prepared and will be released in this repository.
- TBD *Exploratory Memory-Augmented LLM Agent via Hybrid On- and Off-Policy Optimization* (EMPO² / EMPO^2) arXiv paper. The corresponding implementation code is being prepared and will be released in this repository.
