Together AI has released HybridAgent, an LLM agent that combines latent-space reasoning with text-based actions, along with evaluations and open-source code. The agent is designed to improve reasoning efficiency by thinking in a compressed latent space while still communicating through natural language. The release includes code on GitHub, model collections on Hugging Face, and an arXiv paper with evaluation results.
