ACON: Optimizing Context Compression for Long-horizon LLM Agents 文章

arXiv:2510.00615v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents in dynamic real-world environments, where success depends on maintaining precise records of actions and observations. However, the resulting unbounded context growth in long-horizon agentic tasks makes two critical bottlenecks: prohibitive inference memory costs and reasoning degradation due to irrelevant information. Existing compression methods fail to fully address this, often relying on brittle heuristics or requiring parameter updates impractical for proprietary or large-scale LLMs. We introduce Agent Context Optimization (ACON), a unified framework that optimally compresses both observations and history into concise, informative representations.
