Evaluating Budgeted Context Projection with Unexecuted Companion Runs

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper examines how budgeted context projection can reduce the length of individual requests while affecting whether an agent completes within its budget. By analyzing a recorded ReVerPi source‑reading campaign, the authors show that retaining all intervention boundaries reveals trade‑offs that are obscured when a capped first continuation prevents companion runs, and they quantify success differences across various task subsets. The study highlights the importance of accounting for every boundary, preserving unknown outcomes, and separating completion from resource use in adaptive evaluation campaigns.

Completed Pairs Hide Capped Failures: A ReVerPi Case Study of Selective Context Projection

The study examines how context projection—replacing older tool observations with concise, addressable excerpts—affects performance in ReVerPi, a Pi extension that archives observations and matches full to projected continuations. Across 86 source‑reading runs and 641 model requests, 15 completed pairs achieved identical success rates (12/15 per arm), while 12 boundary runs halted when the first arm failed, revealing that projection can reduce logical tokens by 25% but increase median pair tokens by 29% and total suffix requests from 35 to 55. The analysis highlights the importance of retaining all intervention boundaries, executing both arms independently, and reporting completion, token usage, and interaction details to accurately assess stopping rules and resource aggregation.
