The paper introduces Geometry Guided Evidence Preserving Memory (GEM), a training‑free compressor that prioritizes task evidence over geometric redundancy when compressing long‑horizon agent histories. Experiments show that GEM reduces token usage by 21.4% while keeping task reward comparable, whereas purely geometric methods fail to preserve critical action‑related information. The study highlights that efficient compression must focus on preserving task evidence rather than just maintaining global geometry.
The paper investigates how long‑horizon language model agents encode memory‑management signals before taking actions. By examining hidden states just prior to each action, the authors find that the model already signals the need for compression and recall, independent of context length or interaction progress, and that these signals vary across model depth. They propose the Preaction Memory with Evidence Retrieval (PaMER) framework, which uses state‑guided compression and selective evidence retrieval to reduce context consumption while preserving task performance.
SUMONE is a lightweight summarizer designed to compress long interaction histories of language‑model agents. It is trained via masked reconstruction, where a frozen reconstructor predicts randomly masked parts of the original trajectory; reconstruction quality plus a length penalty yields a task‑agnostic reward for optimizing the summarizer with GRPO. At inference, only the summarizer remains, enabling plug‑and‑play context compression that reduces inference cost by roughly 78 % on DeepSearchQA and 75 % on SWE‑bench without affecting the underlying agent.
Long horizon language model agents continually accumulate reasoning history, increasing context length and inference cost even after earlier decisions have been executed and observed. Unlike static Chain of Thought compression, removing historical reasoning can change future actions and the resulting interaction trajectory.
Long‑horizon language model agents accumulate reasoning history, which inflates context length and inference cost. The paper introduces Interaction Aware Compression for Long Horizon Reasoning (ICLR), a training‑free online method that ranks and removes reasoning blocks based on frozen proxy entropy while preserving actions, tool calls, and observations. On 260 WorkBuddyBench tasks, ICLR raises average reward from 0.699 to 0.718 and cuts input, output, and cache read tokens by 25.5%, 14.4%, and 33.3% respectively, while analyses show that historical reasoning becomes replaceable once task‑relevant state is externalized.
The paper introduces AMBER, an append‑only memory framework for language‑model agents that interact over long horizons. AMBER lets agents jointly learn to reason, act, and write free‑form memory, guaranteeing retention by construction and enabling end‑to‑end reinforcement learning without extensive curated data. Experiments on WebArena Lite show AMBER outperforms overwrite‑based memory by 4.09 percentage points in average success and improves task completion rates in repeated runs.
