CRISP: Critical Step Perception for Training Efficient Deep Search Agents

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly extended into deep search agents that solve complex questions through multi-step interaction with external search and browsing tools. However, existing agents often incur substantial computational and interaction costs, generating lengthy trajectories that contain redundant queries, inefficient exploration, and irrelevant observations.

Not Worth Another Token: Marginal Value Estimation for Efficient Deep Research Agents

arXiv:2608. 08389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon research agents solve open-ended tasks through iterative retrieval, aggregation, and synthesis, but context grows rapidly while the marginal value of additional evidence often declines.

Budget-Aware Tool Use Enables Effective Agent Scaling

arXiv:2511. 17006v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scaling test-time computation has been extended from language model reasoning to tool-augmented agents, where scaling involves not only thinking in tokens but also acting via tool calls that directly constrain environmental interaction.

Evaluating Memory in LLM Agents via Incremental Multi-Turn Interactions

arXiv:2507. 05257v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent benchmarks for Large Language Model (LLM) agents primarily focus on evaluating reasoning, planning, and execution capabilities, while another critical component-memory, encompassing how agents memorize, update, and retrieve long-term information-is under-evaluated due to the lack of benchmarks.
