Cache Engineering for Agents

"Large Language Model (LLM) agents can handle increasingly complex tasks, navigating long trajectories of observations and actions. As these trajectories grow, key-value (KV) cache I/O and storage become the dominant cost. Trajectories can also exceed the LLM's maximum context length, requiring contr..."

The Token-Energy Law of LLM Decode: Active Bytes and Realized Time Account for Joules per Token

Safety Mid-Training: Internalizing LLM Safety as a Foundational Capability

Agent World Model in the Wild: Computer-Use Agent Environment Synthesis

Evolving Agent Interfaces

Adaptive Multi-Token Prediction: How far should we go?
