  • A general observation in agentic workflows, especially bounded ones, is that the decision space of the LLM, when we separate a decision from generation, starts approaching saturation: the agent meets the same states again and again, and…
  • We show that treating decision making within reasonable bounds as an optimization problem, solving it once, and reusing the solved decisions can often make an agent faster, cheaper and more reliable.

  • This non-locality of invalidation turns memory into a liability: in long simulated chats, an agent reading a memory of atomic facts publishes 62% of the objects whose failure lies upstream, each backed by a record that was true when…
