  1. SimpleMem: Efficient Lifelong Memory for LLM Agents

    Jiaqi Liu, Yaofeng Su, Peng Xia et al.

    To support long-term interaction in complex environments, LLM agents require memory systems that manage historical experiences. Existing approaches either retain full interaction histories via passive context extension, leading to substantial redundancy, or rely on iterative reasoning to filter noise, incurring high t…

  2. LoGeR: Long-Context Geometric Reconstruction with Hybrid Memory

    Feedforward geometric foundation models achieve strong short-window reconstruction, yet scaling them to minutes-long videos is bottlenecked by quadratic attention complexity or limited effective memory in recurrent designs. We present **LoGeR** (**Lo**ng-context **Ge**ometric **R**econstruction), a novel architecture…

  3. SWE-Pruner: Self-Adaptive Context Pruning for Coding Agents

    LLM agents have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in software development, but their performance is hampered by long interaction contexts, which incur high API costs and latency. While various context compression approaches such as LongLLMLingua have emerged to tackle this challenge, they typically rely on fixed me…

  4. Externalization in LLM Agents: A Unified Review of Memory, Skills, Protocols and Harness Engineering

    Chenyu Zhou, Huacan Chai, Wenteng Chen et al.

    Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly built less by changing model weights than by reorganizing the runtime around them. Capabilities that earlier systems expected the model to recover internally are now externalized into memory stores, reusable skills, interaction protocols, and the surrounding harness t…

  5. GEMS: Agent-Native Multimodal Generation with Memory and Skills

    Zefeng He, Siyuan Huang, Xiaoye Qu et al.

    Recent multimodal generation models have achieved remarkable progress on general-purpose generation tasks, yet continue to struggle with complex instructions and specialized downstream tasks. Inspired by the success of advanced agent frameworks such as Claude Code, we propose **GEMS** (Agent-Native Multimodal **GE**ne…

  6. MemSkill: Learning and Evolving Memory Skills for Self-Evolving Agents

    Haozhen Zhang, Quanyu Long, Jianzhu Bao et al.

    Most Large Language Model (LLM) agent memory systems rely on a small set of static, hand-designed operations for extracting memory. These fixed procedures hard-code human priors about what to store and how to revise memory, making them rigid under diverse interaction patterns and inefficient on long histories. To this…

  7. Scaling Embeddings Outperforms Scaling Experts in Language Models

    Hong Liu, Jiaqi Zhang, Chao Wang et al.

    While Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures have become the standard for sparsity scaling in large language models, they increasingly face diminishing returns and system-level bottlenecks. In this work, we explore embedding scaling as a potent, orthogonal dimension for scaling sparsity. Through a comprehensive analys…

  8. STALE: Can LLM Agents Know When Their Memories Are No Longer Valid?

    Hanxiang Chao, Yihan Bai, Rui Sheng et al.

    Large Language Model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to maintain coherent, long-term personalized memory, yet current benchmarks primarily measure static fact retrieval, overlooking the ability to revise stored beliefs when new evidence emerges. We identify a critical and underexplored failure mode, **Implicit…

  9. Are We Ready For An Agent-Native Memory System?

    Wei Zhou, Xuanhe Zhou, Shaokun Han et al.

    Memory for large language model (LLM) agents has rapidly evolved from simple retrieval-augmented mechanisms into a data management system that supports persistent information storage, retrieval, update, consolidation, and dynamic lifecycle governance throughout agent execution. Despite this evolution, existing evaluat…

  10. δ-mem: Efficient Online Memory For Large Language Models

    Jingdi Lei, Di Zhang, Junxian Li et al.

    Large language models increasingly need to accumulate and reuse historical information in long-term assistants and agent systems. Simply expanding the context window is costly and often fails to ensure effective context utilization. We propose $\delta$-mem, a lightweight memory mechanism that augments a frozen full-at…

  11. Self-rag: Learning to Retrieve, Generate, and Critique through Self-Reflection

    Akari Asai, Zeqiu Wu, Yizhong Wang et al.

    Despite their remarkable capabilities, large language models (LLMs) often produce responses containing factual inaccuracies due to their sole reliance on the parametric knowledge they encapsulate. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), an ad hoc approach that augments LMs with retrieval of relevant knowledge, decreases…

  12. RAPTOR: Recursive Abstractive Processing for Tree-Organized Retrieval

    Parth Sarthi, Salman Abdullah, Aditi Tuli et al.

    Retrieval-augmented language models can better adapt to changes in world state and incorporate long-tail knowledge. However, most existing methods retrieve only short contiguous chunks from a retrieval corpus, limiting holistic understanding of the overall document context. We introduce the novel approach of recursive…

  13. ColBERT: Efficient and Effective Passage Search via Contextualized Late Interaction over BERT

    Omar Khattab, Matei Zaharia

    Recent progress in Natural Language Understanding (NLU) is driving fast-paced advances in Information Retrieval (IR), largely owed to fine-tuning deep language models (LMs) for document ranking. While remarkably effective, the ranking models based on these LMs increase computational cost by orders of magnitude over pr…

  14. Precise Zero-Shot Dense Retrieval without Relevance Labels

    Luyu Gao, Xueguang Ma, Jimmy Lin et al.

    While dense retrieval has been shown effective and efficient across tasks and languages, it remains difficult to create effective fully zero-shot dense retrieval systems when no relevance label is available. In this paper, we recognize the difficulty of zero-shot learning and encoding relevance. Instead, we propose to…

  15. Leveraging Passage Retrieval with Generative Models for Open Domain Question Answering

    Gautier Izacard, Edouard Grave

    Generative models for open domain question answering have proven to be competitive, without resorting to external knowledge. While promising, this approach requires to use models with billions of parameters, which are expensive to train and query. In this paper, we investigate how much these models can benefit from re…

  16. Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks

    Patrick Lewis, Ethan Perez, Aleksandra Piktus, Fabio Petroni, Vladimir Karpukhin, Naman Goyal, Heinrich Küttler et al.

    Large pre-trained language models have been shown to store factual knowledge in their parameters, and achieve state-of-the-art results when fine-tuned on downstream NLP tasks. However, their ability to access and precisely manipulate knowledge is still limited, and hence on knowledge-intensive tasks, their performance…

  17. Dense Passage Retrieval for Open-Domain Question Answering

    Vladimir Karpukhin, Barlas Oğuz, Sewon Min et al.

    Open-domain question answering relies on efficient passage retrieval to select candidate contexts, where traditional sparse vector space models, such as TF-IDF or BM25, are the de facto method. In this work, we show that retrieval can be practically implemented using dense representations alone, where embeddings are l…

  18. REALM: Retrieval-Augmented Language Model Pre-Training

    Kelvin Guu, Kenton Lee, Zora Tung et al.

    Language model pre-training has been shown to capture a surprising amount of world knowledge, crucial for NLP tasks such as question answering. However, this knowledge is stored implicitly in the parameters of a neural network, requiring ever-larger networks to cover more facts. To capture knowledge in a more modular…
