StateComp: Learning When to Compress History in Long Horizon Agents

StateComp introduces a method for long‑horizon agents to decide when to compress historical interactions based on the current agent state, rather than relying on fixed windows or periodic schedules. The framework uses a two‑stage annotation process to create KEEP and READY labels, trains an imbalance‑aware router on frozen language model representations, and groups adjacent READY interactions into compact summaries. Experiments on WorkBuddyBench show that StateComp cuts agent and summarization tokens by 52.27% and speeds up representation extraction 12.67‑fold while preserving task performance.

TimeBraid: Unifying Time Series and Language for Understanding and Forecasting

TimeBraid is a family of unified models that combine pretrained language models with pretrained time‑series foundation models using interleaved global residual attention layers. The models inherit instruction following, reasoning, and continuous‑signal perception, fusing both modalities into a shared representation space for understanding and generation. The design focuses on aligning representation spaces, grounding language in temporal structure, balancing understanding with generation, and maintaining stable joint optimization, supported by 2.2 M curated series‑text pairs and 4.9 M instruction‑tuning samples. Across diverse benchmarks, TimeBraid competes with larger general‑purpose and task‑specific models.

A Foundation Model for Instruction-Conditioned In-Context Time Series Tasks

The paper introduces iAmTime, a time‑series foundation model that uses instruction‑conditioned in‑context learning to adapt to tasks at inference time. iAmTime represents each episode as a structured prompt with semantic tokens that focus on specific time‑series regions, enabling the model to infer task structure from input‑output demonstrations. Trained on large real and synthetic corpora across forecasting, imputation, reconstruction, classification, anomaly detection, and source de‑mixing, iAmTime outperforms strong baselines on zero‑shot probabilistic and point forecasting while matching or exceeding performance on several non‑forecasting tasks.

TimeInteract: Towards Real-Time Interactive Intelligence for Streaming Time Series

TimeInteract introduces a new regime called Time-Series Interaction, enabling models to continuously perceive incoming time-series data and user intent, decide when to respond, and keep processing new observations during response generation. The system employs a dual-view streaming encoder, a response control mechanism, and a decoupled inference pipeline to avoid blocking. Evaluated on the newly created StreamTSI-34K dataset, TimeInteract outperforms existing LLMs, VLMs, and TSLMs across four interaction levels, achieving significant gains in accuracy, response triggering, and inference speed.
