The paper introduces Traverse, an autonomous web‑search agent that manages its search process through three states—Rubric, Answer, and Verify—while using a Seal Memory tool for active context management. Reinforcement learning is employed to train the agent, but a training instability called Seal Collapse is mitigated by training only the final segment after context management. The resulting 35B model achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on BrowseComp and related benchmarks, outperforming comparable open‑source systems.

arXiv:2608. 12847v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval can identify a past trajectory that may matter, yet it does not specify how an acting agent should use that trajectory after users, entities, constraints, or environment state have changed.

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.

arXiv:2607. 23809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic tasks are inherently long-horizon and multi-turn, constantly accumulating context through interactions with the environment.

arXiv:2608. 16370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Task completion is the standard metric for evaluating context compression, yet it is incomplete: compression can increase an agent's interaction cost by forcing it to reacquire dropped state while leaving completion statistically unchanged.

OpenResearcher is a fully open, reproducible pipeline for generating long‑horizon deep research trajectories that interleave search, evidence aggregation, and multi‑step reasoning. It decouples corpus bootstrapping from trajectory synthesis and runs the search‑and‑browse loop offline using three browser primitives over a 15M‑document corpus. Using GPT‑OSS‑120B as a teacher, the pipeline produced over 97K trajectories, enabling a 30B‑A3B model to achieve 54.8% accuracy on BrowseComp‑Plus and providing insights into pipeline design through controlled analysis.

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.
