CoMIC: Collaborative Memory and Insights Circulation for Long-Horizon LLM Agents in Cloud-Edge Systems

arXiv:2606. 00756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying lightweight Large Language Model (LLM) agents on edge servers can reduce latency and move agentic services closer to users, but resource-constrained edge models often struggle with long-horizon tasks that require persistent memory, subgoal tracking, and reflection.

Where Should Agents Live? Energy-Memory Characterization of Agentic AI for the Edge-Cloud Continuum

The paper introduces agentic-eCAL, an extension of the Energy Cost of AI Lifecycle metric to evaluate multi‑agent AI workflows across the edge‑cloud continuum. By combining a two‑rate energy model with OSI‑layer transport analysis, the authors quantify that inter‑agent text transfer accounts for only 0.25% of total workflow energy, highlighting that the main energy cost lies in additional inference and context processing triggered by communication. The study uses extensive GPU benchmarks on NVIDIA A100/H100 with 16 open‑weight models and 8 orchestration topologies to validate the metric and explore placement implications.
