- ByteDance presents STEPS, a self-triggered, agentic push recommendation system.
- The system decides both whether to send a notification and when to re-invoke itself, forming a closed loop that balances responsiveness and compute efficiency.
- It is already deployed on Douyin, serving 1B+ users.
- The paper frames push delivery as a complex action-space problem under system constraints and proposes two decision-transformer-based agents: one for planning and one for execution.
