arXiv:2608. 04830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory is essential as language agents move from isolated tasks to long-horizon, stateful workflows, yet existing evaluations often reduce it to retrieval or question answering.

arXiv:2608. 05141v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Context lengths of language models (LMs) have dramatically increased, driven by the demands for in-context learning, self-improvement, and long-horizon agentic workflows.

arXiv:2608. 05144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon reasoning requires an agentic runtime that can persist when evidence supports its current approach and pivot when measurements reveal failure, hidden constraints, or a misspecified objective.

arXiv:2608. 04893v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems relay key--value caches instead of text and credit their gains to exchanged ``latent thoughts''.

arXiv:2607. 28545v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models can write, patch, and search code, but oncall root cause analysis (RCA) demands something different: reasoning over noisy metrics, logs, traces, and source code, starting from ambiguous user-facing reports, often hours after the incident began.
