Long-horizon embodied tasks require LLM agents to iteratively decompose high-level goals, revise plans in response to environmental feedback, and ground leaf-level subgoals into valid executable actions. Recursive context-management methods such as ReCAP improve planning stability through multi-level task decomposition and parent-node refinement, but still repeatedly invoke the LLM at leaf nodes to ground atomic subtasks into exact valid actions.

arXiv:2607. 08032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models, and the agents built on them, spend an ever-growing share of their compute and memory on remembering: caching attention keys and values, carrying long prompts, maintaining recurrent state, and storing what happened in previous turns and sessions.
