ContextPilot is a proactive context‑management framework designed to improve long‑horizon agentic reasoning with large language models. It expands the toolset to include planning, long‑term memory, and soft context offloading, and introduces a reinforcement‑learning strategy that focuses on critical editing decisions and assigns action‑level advantages. Experiments on long‑context QA and deep search tasks demonstrate that ContextPilot achieves stronger performance with a more compact working context, outperforming existing baselines across various base models and benchmarks.

M-Plan is a closed‑loop multi‑agent system that combines long‑term and short‑term memory to improve large language model agents on long‑horizon, multi‑turn tasks. It uses task‑specific milestones and local hints to generate global‑local guidance, forming short‑term memory during execution, and then optimizes and stores relevant information in long‑term memory for future use. Experiments on ALFWorld, Webshop, and PDDL show that M‑Plan outperforms baseline methods in both accuracy and efficiency.

The paper investigates how context compaction—losing information to free up a language model’s context window—affects performance on long‑horizon agentic tasks. Using the OpenCode scaffold and five compaction strategies, the authors evaluate three frontier models on PaperBench, ProgramBench, and PostTrainBench, finding that compaction thresholds largely do not hurt performance for 1M‑context models, but can degrade GPT‑5.3‑Codex on certain benchmarks. The study also shows that compaction can silently drop critical task constraints, especially on ProgramBench and real user‑agent sessions from SWE‑chat, yet current benchmarks remain largely compaction‑friendly because objectives are fixed and progress is stored externally.

The paper introduces CTXAgent, a self‑controlled context management system for large language model agents that compacts conversation history when a token threshold is reached. It evaluates seven frontier models, comparing their ability to manage context with and without dedicated tools, and benchmarks performance across coding, scientific, and software engineering tasks. Results show that well‑managed models keep live context below 100k tokens, maintain high benchmark scores, and achieve significant cost reductions, with Claude Opus 5.5 outperforming its explicit configuration by 34% lower cost.

Recent LLM-based agent systems continuously accumulate context across multi-turn interactions, tool invocations, and cross-session workflows. Replaying the full history for every request quickly becomes impractical: long contexts increase prefill cost, may exceed context limits, and often bury task-relevant evidence in irrelevant content, degrading both serving efficiency and output quality.
