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.

Well-Specified and Well-Tested? Assessing SWE-bench-Style Datasets with a Self-Evolving Agent

The paper introduces ExLabel, an LLM‑based, self‑evolving assistant that assesses task clarity and test coverage in SWE‑bench‑style software engineering datasets. ExLabel builds an experience bank from cross‑instance knowledge, enabling context‑aware judgments that outperform static rubrics. A new benchmark, SWE‑TQ, spanning eight programming languages, demonstrates ExLabel’s superior F1 scores and its ability to filter data that improves a coding model’s success rate on SWE‑bench Verified.
