arXiv:2606. 31564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing complexity of agentic tasks has led to rapidly growing trajectory lengths, which poses significant challenges for large language model (LLM) based agents with fixed context windows.
arXiv:2510. 00615v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents in dynamic real-world environments, where success depends on maintaining precise records of actions and observations.
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.
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:2606. 16432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: User instructions are often underspecified because humans rely on implicit assumptions about the surrounding environment.

StateComp introduces a method for long‑horizon agents to decide when to compress historical interactions based on the current agent state, rather than relying on fixed windows or periodic schedules. The framework uses a two‑stage annotation process to create KEEP and READY labels, trains an imbalance‑aware router on frozen language model representations, and groups adjacent READY interactions into compact summaries. Experiments on WorkBuddyBench show that StateComp cuts agent and summarization tokens by 52.27% and speeds up representation extraction 12.67‑fold while preserving task performance.

AnyAct introduces a universal action layer that consolidates diverse tool capabilities into a self‑evolving action space for AI agents operating in open‑world environments. It tackles the scale dilemma, tool non‑stationarity, and heterogeneous feedback by using hierarchical progressive retrieval and test‑time reliability evolution, while a heterogeneous observation grounding module unifies multi‑modal feedback. Evaluations on LiveMCPBench and the newly created OSMCP benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance, with significant gains in task success rate and reduced execution steps, especially for models with limited native capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 11680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their inherent statelessness, requiring all task-relevant information to be encoded in growing input contexts.
The paper introduces FOCUS, a training‑free framework that compresses the interaction history of large language model agents by preserving only the past interactions that causally influence future decisions. Unlike prior methods that learn compression policies offline, FOCUS operates entirely at test time, requiring no additional data collection or fine‑tuning and can be applied to any closed‑API model. Experiments on a variety of agentic benchmarks show that FOCUS reduces peak context length by up to 48% and dependency by 73%, while improving task success by up to 8.9 percentage points.
Large language model (LLM) agents often perform poorly on complex, long-horizon tasks because their context becomes increasingly cluttered over time. As interactions accumulate, detailed execution tra...
