arXiv:2605. 25475v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to operate over long contexts, yet standard softmax attention incurs a KV cache that grows linearly with sequence length, quickly becoming the bottleneck for long context inference.

MemoryWalker addresses the conditioning problem that arises when training agents with compressed context during rollout. It introduces two exact, gradient‑equivalent corrections—LogitTree, a segmented K‑forward traversal, and a packed 4D attention mask—alongside SDCC, a self‑distillation method that reduces the train‑deployment gap by minimizing KL divergence at each eviction. Experiments on seven web‑search benchmarks show that SDCC significantly lowers logit drift and boosts rollout rewards compared to naive training.
