arXiv:2606. 28876v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study memory-managed long-context attention: explicit bounded memory with a learned query-independent writer, lifecycle control, query-aware reading, calibrated sparse fallback, and frozen-LLM generation from raw evidence.

REMORY is a neural memory network that augments a textual summary of an agent’s history with a small set of soft memory tokens. These tokens, conditioned on the summary, enable a frozen large language model to approximate the continuation it would generate using the full history, effectively acting as a residual connection along the sequence dimension. Experiments on SummHay and long‑horizon agent benchmarks show that REMORY improves source attribution, maintains insight coverage, and achieves near full‑context performance while using only 5.2% of the input positions, while also reducing repeated tool outputs and errors on BrowseComp and Terminal‑Bench 2.1.

arXiv:2606. 28876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language models often conflate two different goals: compressing history into an efficient state, and maintaining reliable long-term memory.

The paper introduces ATLAS, a method that uses retained-domain activation atlases to guide task-specific fine‑tuning of language models. By providing local reference centers and directional filters, ATLAS learns a low‑rank residual that adapts to new tasks while preserving existing behavior. Experiments on Qwen3‑8B and other backbones show lower retained‑output KL divergence, fewer rewritten answers, and more stable responses compared to seven baselines.
