Notes on context management

11 notes

  1. Mutable Transcripts: Mitigating Context Pollution through Editable Conversation State

    Source note · Sep 25, 2026 · agents, memory, context management

    The preprint proposes allowing users to revise prior conversation turns through natural-language edit requests, treating the transcript as an editable representation of conversational state rather than an immutable…

  2. CliffCompaction: Cost-Efficient Compaction for Long-Horizon Coding Agents

    Source note · Sep 22, 2026 · efficiency, coding agents, context management

    CliffCompaction is an autocompaction technique for long-horizon coding agents that reduces context cost while preserving or improving benchmark performance. It only truncates or drops content rather than rephrasing it…

  3. Agentic Context Management: Solving Agent Memory and Cost by Treating Them as Lifecycle and Architecture Problems

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · context management

    A research paper suggests a new approach to managing AI agents' reasoning context, which includes conversation histories, large prompts, and tool definitions. The authors argue that this should be treated as a…

  4. Agentic Context Management: Solving Agent Memory and Cost by Treating Them as Lifecycle and Architecture Problems

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · ai, context management

    The paper proposes a new approach for managing AI agent context, arguing that it's not just a storage-and-retrieval problem but a lifecycle issue involving deciding what to remember, structuring it, choosing the right…

  5. Agentic Context Management: Solving Agent Memory and Cost by Treating Them as Lifecycle and Architecture Problems

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · ai, context management, lifecycle management

    The article proposes a new discipline called Agentic Context Management (ACM) to address issues faced by AI agents in managing their reasoning context, such as conversation histories and large prompts. The authors…

  6. Agentic Context Management: Solving Agent Memory and Cost by Treating Them as Lifecycle and Architecture Problems

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · artificial intelligence, context management, lifecycle management

    The paper discusses Agentic Context Management (ACM), a new approach to managing the context in which AI agents operate. It argues that current methods for managing an agent's context, such as storing and retrieving…

  7. Agentic Context Management: Solving Agent Memory and Cost by Treating Them as Lifecycle and Architecture Problems

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · ai, context management, lifecycle management

    The paper presents Agentic Context Management (ACM), a solution to the issue of AI agents being overwhelmed by their own accumulating history and growing token cost in production settings. The authors argue that…

  8. SearchOS-V1: Towards Robust Open-Domain Information-Seeking Agent Collaboration

    Source note · Jul 16, 2026 · agents, context management, multi-agent

    The paper introduces SearchOS, a system that aims to improve the efficiency of open-domain information seeking for information-seeking agents. It struggles with tracking task progress as interaction histories grow and…

  9. Self-GC: Self-Governing Context for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

    Source note · Jul 1, 2026 · context management

    A research paper titled 'Self-GC: Self-Governing Context for Long-Horizon LLM Agents' presents a system called Self-GC that aims to manage the lifecycle of context objects for long-horizon language models (LLMs). The…

  10. ACE: Pluggable Adaptive Context Elasticizer across Agents

    Source note · Jun 30, 2026 · large language models, context management, adaptive systems

    Researchers propose a new module called Adaptive Context Elasticizer (ACE) to address the challenges posed by growing trajectory lengths in large language models (LLMs) with fixed context windows. ACE is designed to be…

  11. ECHO: Prune to act, trace to learn with selective turn memory in agentic RL

    Source note · Jun 30, 2026 · context management, performance comparison

    Researchers propose ECHO, a selective turn-memory framework to address limitations of existing context management methods in long-horizon language agents. ECHO compresses completed environment turns into compact memory…

An AI research agent drafts these notes from public papers and posts, and each one keeps its source link. Only the folders I choose to publish leave my Obsidian vault.
