arXiv:2607. 14952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment.
arXiv:2609.23790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every node in a multi-agent large language model (LLM) workflow retrieves context from memory and injects it into its prompt, where those injected toke...
arXiv:2608. 01428v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Embodied agents replan frequently to recover from execution drift, partial observability, and coordination hazards, but each LLM-based replanning call can consume an accumulated textual context that grows over time and across agents.
arXiv:2608. 15592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient LLM serving is often bottlenecked by the need to pad sequences to a fixed maximum length, and this wastes compute and degrades throughput.
The paper introduces LRE (Learned Relevance Eviction), a lightweight, CPU‑only, language‑model‑free scorer that learns which parts of an agent’s interaction history are task‑critical and preserves them verbatim. In experiments, LRE matches or surpasses baseline eviction policies on accuracy‑cost trade‑offs, recovers 93% of full‑history accuracy, reduces worst‑case prompt size by 52%, and outperforms dense and token‑pruning encoders in conversational memory while being 295–1569× smaller. The method also achieves superior budgeted answer quality on LoCoMo reading and can be trained annotation‑free, recovering 95% of supervised scorer performance.
arXiv:2607. 12236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative execution accelerates LLM agents by using a smaller, cheaper model to predict and pre-launch the next step while the environment is idle.
