Large language models increasingly rely on external tools to access up-to-date information, perform computation, and interact with the outside world. For autoregressive models, tool use naturally fits the generation process: the model emits a tool call, waits for the result, and then continues generating.
AdaMem introduces adaptive memory policies that allow personalized agents to decide what information to write into long‑term memory based on user preferences for each interaction context. Each policy is updated from periodic feedback and controls subsequent memory writing, aiming to improve relevance and reduce unnecessary memory persistence. In experiments on AdaMem‑Bench, AdaMem raises QA accuracy from 80.0% to 84.35% while cutting persistent memory by 9.27%, though models still struggle to execute policies reliably.

The paper argues that as Large Language Models transition from chatbots to agentic systems, the current post-hoc interpretability paradigm is insufficient for safe deployment because it cannot audit or intervene before an output is produced. It proposes a shift to generative interpretability, where a model’s inference process inherently exposes semantically meaningful checkpoints that are human-understandable and can be causally intervened upon. The authors illustrate the advantages of this approach and introduce Neuro‑Symbolic Models as a concrete implementation.

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.

The paper introduces an action‑on‑item schema that pairs interaction roles with content embeddings, enabling a shared update mechanism across different user history types such as movies, news, and dialogue. It demonstrates theoretical properties like invariance to relabeling and bounded state changes, and presents the Multi‑Timescale State Hypothesis (MTSH) implemented in PerTIDE. Experiments on PENS, MovieLens, and MIND datasets show that a frozen source‑trained core outperforms random baselines and that PerTIDE achieves significant MRR gains over comparable models.

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.

The paper introduces RIPPLE, a method for adapting workflow-synthesizing agents through prompt-policy editing without retraining the underlying model. RIPPLE diagnoses failed execution trajectories, maps failures to specific policy segments, and restricts edits to those segments. It then evaluates candidate edits in isolation and replays only those that remain safe after composition, achieving up to a 23.1% improvement in validation success on a synthetic benchmark and positive gains on additional language‑model backbones.
