ContextPilot: Teaching Agents for Proactive Context Management via Fine-grained RL

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.

ACE: Pluggable Adaptive Context Elasticizer across Agents

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.

DTOC: Dynamic Tool Output Compression for Adaptive Context Management in AI Agents

The paper introduces Dynamic Tool Output Compression (DTOC), a framework that manages context in large‑language‑model agents by storing full tool outputs in external memory and inserting compact placeholders into the active context. DTOC treats context updates as explicit, reversible operations within the agent’s reasoning loop, allowing selective reconstruction of compressed outputs when needed. Experiments on the DeepSWE benchmark show that for responsive models such as Sonnet 4.6 and GPT‑5.4, DTOC reduces input tokens and agent steps while significantly improving solve rates and lowering cost per solved task, with ablation studies confirming the importance of reversibility for maintaining performance.
