arXiv:2606. 18831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context reasoning is an essential capability for large language models, particularly when they are deployed as autonomous agents that must reason over lengthy trajectories.
The paper proposes a new method for training large language models to handle long-context reasoning by combining Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with on‑policy distillation (OPD). It introduces a synthetic multilingual dataset called LongBlocks that tests multi‑hop reasoning, contextual grounding, and long‑form generation. Experiments show that the combined approach outperforms either GRPO or OPD alone while maintaining short‑context performance.
StateTree is a reinforcement learning approach that improves long‑term dialogue reasoning by building a tree‑structured auxiliary task from limited dialogue data. The method embeds key‑value records across multiple sessions into a binary tree, requiring the model to traverse from root to leaf, retrieve records, compare timestamps, and identify a target question among distractors. Curriculum RL training increases tree depth, and a compositional variant trains the model to combine partial reasoning fragments, enabling cross‑session retrieval, temporal reasoning, knowledge updates, and multi‑hop reasoning while generalizing from 10K‑token to 128K‑token contexts.
arXiv:2607. 06160v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Synthesizing long-context supervised fine-tuning (SFT) data is a scalable way to enhance the long-context understanding of large language models (LLMs), yet existing approaches share three limitations: narrow task coverage, insufficient instruction difficulty, and a lack of faithfulness supervision.

arXiv:2607. 19345v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models that generate step-by-step reasoning traces have achieved strong performance on complex tasks, and extending them to long-context settings has emerged as an important frontier.
CoEM introduces a Commit-on-Evidence Memory system that learns when to compress source evidence into compact memory facts while preserving potentially useful excerpts verbatim in a pending set. The system uses a learned policy to decide whether to promote, retain, or discard each pending excerpt as new context arrives, and a frozen verifier ensures only supported facts are committed. Reinforcement learning trains this policy with step-level evidence rewards and final answer rewards, leading to consistent improvements in long-context reasoning, achieving 10.4–11.4 F1 points over the strongest baseline on 6,400-document inputs.

arXiv:2505. 17315v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent language models exhibit strong reasoning capabilities, yet the influence of long-context capacity on reasoning remains underexplored.
Understanding and reasoning over long contexts has become a key requirement for deploying large language models (LLMs) in realistic applications. Although recent LLMs support increasingly long context windows, they often fail to use relevant evidence that is already present in the input, revealing a gap between context access and effective context utilization.
