Self-GC: Self-Governing Context for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

arXiv:2607. 00692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents accumulate tool results, files, plans, and user constraints that are too structured to be treated as a disposable text suffix.

Agentic Context Management: Solving Agent Memory and Cost by Treating Them as Lifecycle and Architecture Problems

Production AI agents' failures are less often due to an inability to reason well and more often because they cannot manage what is in their reasoning context: conversation histories, large prompts, large tool definitions, and ballooning tool outputs. Agents drown in their own accumulating history while paying a token cost that grows every turn, producing missing recalls within and across conversations.

Grounded Continuation: A Linear-Time Runtime Verifier for LLM Conversations

Grounded Continuation introduces a runtime verifier that classifies each utterance in an LLM conversation into one of eight epistemic operations and uses a symbolic engine to maintain a dependency map of claims and their supports. The verifier checks whether a new continuation is grounded by walking this map, a linear-time process that requires no additional LLM calls. On benchmarks such as ReviseQA and MemoryAgentBench, the verifier improves single-hop accuracy for several QA models, even enabling a 7B model to outperform GPT‑4o when guided by the verifier.

SkillGLoW: Procedural-Family Skill Consolidation for Self-Improving Agents on Long-Horizon Task Streams

SkillGLoW introduces a new way for large language model agents to self‑improve by consolidating procedural skills shared across related tasks. Instead of storing all skills in a single global document or a flat per‑task pool, SkillGLoW aggregates local skills into procedural families, compresses them into de‑instantiated global priors, and regenerates instance‑specific details on demand. Experiments on four diverse benchmarks show that these priors improve performance by an average of 17.2 points over a no‑skill baseline, are more compact than per‑task pools, and enable better transfer to unseen tasks.

Compress What You See, Not What You Say: Anchored Context Distillation for Latent-Observation Software Engineering Agents

The paper introduces LOHA, a context layout that compresses older tool observations into soft tokens while keeping the agent’s own turns and the last K observations in plain text, and ACD, a training method that distills full‑text predictions into this latent representation while anchoring behavior on plain text. This approach reduces context per call by up to 57% without significant loss in resolve rates, and improves instance throughput in single‑GPU serving. Experiments on SWE‑bench Verified show that K=3 yields a 43–57% compression with only modest performance impact, while larger windows favor task performance over compression.
