arXiv:2512.20111v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As the time horizons of sequential decision-making tasks grow, keeping full interaction histories in model context becomes increasingly costly. Recent work reduces context lengths by instead conditioning decision-making agents on recursively updated natural-language summaries, which are concise and interpretable. However, they underperform agents with access to the full context, suggesting that they fail to generate sufficient summaries. To address this we propose ABBEL, a recursive summarization framework that isolates and directly supervise
The increasing complexity and time horizons of AI tasks necessitate more efficient memory management and interaction paradigms to scale agents effectively.
This development addresses a critical bottleneck in AI agent performance and scalability, potentially enabling more sophisticated and autonomous applications.
AI agents can now operate with significantly longer conceptual 'memories' without incurring prohibitive computational costs, leading to more capable and interpretable systems.
