arXiv:2607. 10441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Context engineering decides what information a model carries forward, and current designs meter it in tokens: compressing the past into a bounded recurrent state, keeping a key-value entry for every token, or imposing a fixed budget through a window or eviction rule.

arXiv:2607. 12204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Attention can be viewed as an online learner over context, yet existing test-time memories cannot certify that dropping a token leaves outputs unchanged or delete its influence outright.

arXiv:2607. 02303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear-attention and state-space language models compress the prefix into a fixed-size recurrent state, yielding O(1) memory at the cost of a lossy exact memory: when many key--value associations compete, earlier facts are overwritten and needle recall degrades.

We introduce Neural Subspace Reallocation (NSR), which reframes continual learning as memory management over parameter subspaces. Instead of treating Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules as disposable per-task adapters, NSR manages them as compressible, retrievable memory units on a frozen backbone through a recurring cycle: (1) compress learned LoRAs via SVD, (2) reserve them in a TaskKnowledgeBank, (3) recall related past LoRAs by embedding similarity to warm-start new or returning tasks, and (4) reallocate the active subspace accordingly, with distillation protecting prior tasks.

Linear-attention and state-space language models compress the prefix into a fixed-size recurrent state, yielding O(1) memory at the cost of a lossy exact memory: when many key--value associations compete, earlier facts are overwritten and needle recall degrades. Inspired by Complementary Learning Systems, we give linear attention a hippocampal complement.

The paper introduces LRE (Learned Relevance Eviction), a lightweight, CPU‑only, language‑model‑free scorer that learns which parts of an agent’s interaction history are task‑critical and preserves them verbatim. In experiments, LRE matches or surpasses baseline eviction policies on accuracy‑cost trade‑offs, recovers 93% of full‑history accuracy, reduces worst‑case prompt size by 52%, and outperforms dense and token‑pruning encoders in conversational memory while being 295–1569× smaller. The method also achieves superior budgeted answer quality on LoCoMo reading and can be trained annotation‑free, recovering 95% of supervised scorer performance.

arXiv:2607. 21000v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-sequence memory tracking places two opposing demands on a recurrent state: near-lossless retention of stored bindings over long horizons, and active overwriting of stale ones.

Long-sequence memory tracking places two opposing demands on a recurrent state: near-lossless retention of stored bindings over long horizons, and active overwriting of stale ones. In our diagnostic suite, the strongest efficient baselines tend to solve only one side well.
