Existing turn-level shaping methods reward turns that increase the likelihood of a gold..."

"One thing weβve been noticing lately is that a surprisingly large percentage of day-to-day AI workflows no longer seem to require frontier-scale cloud models 24/7.

Naively accumulating all intermediate content can overwhelm the agent, increasing costs and the risk of errors. We propose that effective context management should be adaptiv..."
