Revision-Aware Independent Agent Graphs for Dynamic Reasoning

The paper introduces Revision‑Aware Independent Agent Graphs (RIAG) to address dynamic task routing, where an event stream continually revises task bindings and a system must select the correct document version at query time. By repurposing six benchmarks into over 31,000 dynamic episodes, the authors demonstrate that RIAG balances recomputation and reuse, achieving 54.24 % joint routing‑and‑answer accuracy with only 0.62 calls per query—substantially better than the strongest baseline. The study highlights the trade‑off between stale conclusions and wasted work in dynamic reasoning settings.

When Can Agents Forget Their Reasoning? ICLR for Long-Horizon Agent Context Compression

Long‑horizon language model agents accumulate reasoning history, which inflates context length and inference cost. The paper introduces Interaction Aware Compression for Long Horizon Reasoning (ICLR), a training‑free online method that ranks and removes reasoning blocks based on frozen proxy entropy while preserving actions, tool calls, and observations. On 260 WorkBuddyBench tasks, ICLR raises average reward from 0.699 to 0.718 and cuts input, output, and cache read tokens by 25.5%, 14.4%, and 33.3% respectively, while analyses show that historical reasoning becomes replaceable once task‑relevant state is externalized.

Agent-Editing World Model: Rethinking World Modeling for LLM Agents

The paper introduces the Agent-Editing World Model (AEWM), a new approach that models how reasoning and actions influence future task progress instead of simulating tool responses. AEWM includes an Action Judge that classifies decisions as Critical, Exploratory, or Noisy, and a State Revision mechanism that edits noisy reasoning–action continuations from the same observed history. The integrated system, EditAct, directly updates the underlying state during real execution, leading to significant performance gains across multiple benchmarks and agent backbones.

StateTape: Action-Conditioned Evidence Lifecycle Modeling for Long-Horizon Coding Agents

StateTape introduces a new framework for long‑horizon coding agents that rewrites the agent’s context as the code repository changes, rather than letting the context grow with every observation. It models the repository as a symbol‑level code graph, using a tape to mark symbols altered by each write and a manager model to resolve stale records. The authors provide theoretical analysis, a new benchmark called TraceBench, and empirical results showing higher resolve rates across six agents and three edit‑heavy benchmarks with minimal computational overhead.

AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.

When Does Memory Help? A Cost-Aware Evaluation of Long-Term Memory in Tool-Using LLM Agents

The paper introduces MERIT, a benchmark that evaluates the marginal benefit of long‑term memory for tool‑using large language model agents while explicitly accounting for cost. MERIT provides episodic tool‑use tasks across three domains, verifies dependence on earlier‑episode facts, and measures memory operations in tokens and dollars. Experiments on GPT‑4.1‑mini, Claude Haiku 4.5, and Claude Sonnet 5 show that memory can significantly improve task success, but its utility varies widely across models and memory implementations, and full replay is rarely cost‑effective.

Workload-Aware Caching for Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2607. 20495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent systems decompose complex tasks into directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of specialized agent executions, creating natural opportunities for caching intermediate results across queries.
