arXiv:2605. 17554v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Frontier deep research agents (DRAs) plan a research task, synthesize across documents, and return a structured deliverable on demand.

arXiv:2608. 08055v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents that assist users over weeks of conversation must remember what is currently true, not merely what was once said.

arXiv:2607. 12267v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language agents that interleave reasoning and tool use degrade sharply as reasoning chains lengthen, even when each individual step is easy.
By Ning Liu
arXiv:2606. 08151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-using LLM agents often fail not because relevant text is absent, but because decisive evidence is not selected, compressed, or surfaced at action time.
By Xinyu Guan, Qianyang Zhao, Yuming Deng
arXiv:2605. 03534v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounds answers in retrieved passages, yet relevance does not guarantee sufficiency: a topical passage may still fail to justify the answer.

arXiv:2606. 15906v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-document multimodal question answering requires a system to locate sparse evidence in long PDFs and integrate clues from text, tables, images, charts, and complex layouts.

arXiv:2608. 07527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-document understanding requires models to find and combine evidence across many pages, layouts, tables, figures, and charts.

arXiv:2606. 09900v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is the missing layer for LLM agents: across sessions they forget, and the common workaround -- replaying the whole history into the prompt -- is expensive, slow, and, as distractors accumulate, less accurate.
By Liuyin Wang
arXiv:2607. 05682v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM systems for scientific discovery increasingly assist with ideation, literature synthesis, experiment planning, and report generation, but the first research question they propose can remain difficult to audit: it may sound plausible without exposing the mechanism, falsifier, or assumption that a scientist should inspect.
By Yufeng Wang
arXiv:2606. 07235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long, multimodal documents force retrieval-augmented systems to assemble answers from evidence fragmented across text, tables, and slides broken across cells in a long table, spread over multiple slides, or split between a figure and its discussion.
By Ambuj Mehrish, Sebatiano Vascon
arXiv:2606. 09118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM capabilities advance rapidly, the evaluation methods used to assess them increasingly lag behind.
By Sushant Mehta, Liudas Panavas, Edwin Chen
arXiv:2602. 16902v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce LLM-Wikirace, a benchmark for evaluating planning, reasoning, and world knowledge in large language models (LLMs).
