LLM agents increasingly take on long-running tasks whose history grows far beyond a single model context window. Existing approaches compress earlier interactions or extract selected information into...
Long-horizon tool agents are bottlenecked by how their context grows toward the limits of the context window. Recent systems make context management agent- or system-controlled, but they either learn a compression policy that discards evidence or manage context in a layer the agent never sees.
KVMem is a KV-context virtualization system that allows large language model agents to maintain workspaces exceeding both GPU key‑value capacity and the model’s native context window. It stores overflowed history as paged KV state across GPU memory, host memory, and NVMe, using lightweight, model‑native attention‑space indexes to retrieve relevant historical blocks. Evaluations on long‑context agent benchmarks show that KVMem improves task utility and inference efficiency, enabling up to one million‑token workspaces on consumer GPUs and achieving interactive responsiveness in local deployments.
arXiv:2607. 20064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon tasks require sustained perception, reasoning, and exploration, and are a persistent challenge for large language model (LLM) agents.
arXiv:2607. 00692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents accumulate tool results, files, plans, and user constraints that are too structured to be treated as a disposable text suffix.
arXiv:2607. 09493v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic LLM systems that generate code through multi-turn tool use face a fundamental context problem: each session starts from zero, discarding the configuration choices, domain constraints, data schemas, and tool-use patterns that made previous sessions productive.
arXiv:2607. 25066v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents accumulate reasoning traces, actions, and tool observations that can eventually exceed a model's fixed context window.
arXiv:2608. 19652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM-based agents are deployed for longer and higher-stakes tasks, their memory systems continue to have crucial gaps.
arXiv:2606. 16707v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A personalized AI agent needs a user memory: a persistent model of who the user is, built across many conversations and consulted on each new one.
Terminal-Universe is a framework that transforms large collections of terminal‑based agent trajectories into reusable, executable environments. By replaying recorded file operations and completing missing files, it reconstructs the original workspace and task, then synthesizes new tasks and multi‑round interactions. The resulting 37.3k task‑sufficient environments enable significant performance gains when fine‑tuning language models on terminal‑based benchmarks.
arXiv:2607. 01523v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recurrent memory agents extend LLMs to arbitrarily long contexts by iteratively consolidating input into a fixed-size memory window.
ContextPipe is a database-inspired framework for assembling context in long-horizon large language model agents. It treats context assembly like relational query execution, using a five-phase pipeline—Plan, Bind, Optimize, Execute, Feedback—backed by a structured catalog, deterministic cache-aware optimizer, and EXPLAIN ANALYZE tracing. In a preliminary evaluation on the SWE-bench Pro Qutebrowser subset, ContextPipe reduced token volume by 31%, LLM calls by 23%, and response time by 9% compared to an append-only policy, though it lowered KV cache-hit ratio.
