KV-streams for Efficient Compaction in Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Emiliano Penaloza, Dane Malenfant, Dheeraj Vattikonda +15

Scaling the horizon of agentic LLMs is bottlenecked by the need to fit ever longer context traces in GPU memory. Context compaction has been the most popular mechanism to alleviate…

Shockingly Simple Self-retrospection Improves Agentic Models Without RL

Jonathan Light, Christopher Zhang Cui, Jeonghye Kim +7

People learn not only by repeating successful actions, but also by recounting and explaining their experiences, revising their understanding to guide future behavior. Can a languag…

PR-Smoother: Simulator-Preserving Non-Gaussian Smoothing for Data Assimilation

Yuta Tarumi

Many physical data assimilation (DA) workflows require smoothing methods that represent non-Gaussian posteriors over physical state variables, scale to high-dimensional simulators,…

Scattered Forest Search: Smarter Code Space Exploration with LLMs

Jonathan Light, Yue Wu, Yiyou Sun +6

We frame code generation as a black-box optimization problem within the code space and demonstrate how optimization-inspired techniques can enhance inference scaling. Based on this…
