ECHO: Prune to act, trace to learn with selective turn memory in agentic RL

arXiv:2606. 31650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon language agents must repeatedly interact with tools, accumulate evidence, and make decisions under bounded context windows.

MESA:Task-Adaptive Multi-Structure Evidence Selection for Long-Horizon Agent Memory

arXiv:2608. 10108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents accumulate trajectories spanning hundreds of interleaved reasoning, action, and observation steps, where answering a query may depend on evidence buried far back in the history.

PI-Mem: Pushing Long-Context Reasoning to 3.6M Tokens with Parallel-Iterative Memory

arXiv:2608. 03048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context reasoning remains a critical bottleneck for large language models, as recent recurrent-memory approaches face two inherent challenges: sequential chunk-wise updates can overwrite early critical evidence with later irrelevant content, and serial inter-chunk dependencies limit parallelism and cause latency to increase with context length.

In-the-Flow Agentic System Optimization for Effective Planning and Tool Use

arXiv:2510. 05592v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interleaves thoughts and tool calls under full context; this scales poorly with long horizons and diverse tools and generalizes weakly to new scenarios.

Deep Dense Exploration for LLM Reinforcement Learning via Pivot-Driven Resampling

arXiv:2602. 14169v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Effective exploration is a key challenge in reinforcement learning for large language models: discovering high-quality trajectories within a limited sampling budget from the vast natural language sequence space.

LongStraw: Long-Context RL Beyond 2M Tokens under a Fixed GPU Budget

arXiv:2607. 14952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment.
