CoMIC: Collaborative Memory and Insights Circulation for Long-Horizon LLM Agents in Cloud-Edge Systems

arXiv:2606.00756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying lightweight Large Language Model (LLM) agents on edge servers can reduce latency and move agentic services closer to users, but resource-constrained edge models often struggle with long-horizon tasks that require persistent memory, subgoal tracking, and reflection. Fine-tuning edge models after deployment is costly and difficult to scale across heterogeneous nodes, while purely local memory leaves agents with isolated experience and growing prompt context. We propose \textsc{CoMIC}, a parameter-update-free cloud-edge framework for Colla
The proliferation of LLM agents and the demand for low-latency, personalized AI services at the edge are driving innovation in distributed AI architectures.
This development addresses a critical limitation of current edge AI deployments by enabling more sophisticated, memory-enabled LLM agents, expanding the potential applications for localized autonomous systems.
LLM agents deployed on resource-constrained edge devices can now handle long-horizon tasks, maintain persistent memory, and collaboratively learn without costly fine-tuning, making edge AI more practical and efficient.
