Abstract

Reasoning models maintain information about the status of their reasoning process through in-context memory. Complex problems require larger context windows and memory requirements. In this scenario, context management without caching risks discarding useful information for reasoning. We propose RCMEM, an approach that extends context management with an external memory to maintain additional information without burdening the reasoning model with additional context. RCMEM significantly reduces computation time on problems that require repeated computation of intermediate steps, while achieving better performance on complex problems. We demonstrate our approach on a few mathematics problems using model sizes ranging from 0.4 to 25 million parameters, and GPT-2.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.

Research brief

Metadata summary

Reasoning models maintain information about the status of their reasoning process through in-context memory.

Based on abstract + metadata only. Check the source paper before making high-confidence protocol decisions.

Key takeaways

  • Reasoning models maintain information about the status of their reasoning process through in-context memory.
  • Complex problems require larger context windows and memory requirements.
  • In this scenario, context management without caching risks discarding useful information for reasoning.

Researcher actions

  • Compare this paper against nearby papers in the same arXiv category before using it for protocol decisions.
  • Check the full text for explicit evaluation design choices (raters, protocol, and metrics).
  • Use related-paper links to find stronger protocol-specific references.

Caveats

  • Generated from abstract + metadata only; no PDF parsing.
  • Signals below are heuristic and may miss details reported outside the abstract.

Why it matters for eval

  • Abstract shows limited direct human-feedback or evaluation-protocol detail; use as adjacent methodological context.
