🚨 New paper: “Self-Compacting Language Model Agents”
LM agents build up long traces of reasoning and tool calls. As the trace grows, old mistakes and stale info stick around and anchor everything that follows. We ask: can the model itself decide when to clean up?

The paper introduces PRO-LONG, which uses a programmatic, lossless memory system for AI agents, storing all past actions in a structured text log. This approach significantly improves long-horizon reasoning and performance on ARC-AGI-3 games while using fewer tokens than stronger specialized systems.
