arXiv:2608. 07169v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory systems have shown promise for improving agent performance, but their potential remains largely unexplored for small language models, which struggle to generate sufficient successful trajectories on their own.

arXiv:2509. 14257v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Model agents achieve strong performance on multi-step reasoning and tool-use tasks, but their impressive capabilities typically rely on extremely large backbones.

arXiv:2607. 22625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but suffers from knowledge conflicts: when retrieved information contradicts parametric memory, the shared self-attention pathway produces unpredictable outputs.

arXiv:2608. 09555v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: External natural-language skills provide large language model (LLM) agents with reusable and editable guidance for solving complex tasks.

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.

arXiv:2607. 01224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory expertise is a learned skill: knowing what to encode, when to retrieve, and how to organize knowledge--a capacity known in cognitive science as metamemory.

Iterative self-distillation enables LLM agents to learn from successive deployments, offering a path toward recursive self-improvement (RSI). Yet our experiments with existing methods reveal a collaps...
arXiv:2607. 01480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), along with recent selfdistillation variants such as SDPO, evaluates each rollout against a verifier and updates the policy from that episode-level signal.
