This paper investigates how skills work in LLM agents, when they help, and why they fail, to improve their performance. Practitioners can benefit from understanding these factors to build more reliable self-evolving agents.

This paper introduces LatentPress, a method to compress conversational histories and documents into a continuous memory token format that allows language models to directly read and process the context without text reconstruction. Practitioners might care about this because it could lead to faster and more efficient language model inference.

This paper proposes a new approach to training Vision-Language-Action models by using a pre-trained backbone that captures generalizable visual-action knowledge from a large, diverse dataset of robot trajectories. This allows the model to perform well on new, unseen tasks without requiring a large amount of task-specific data.
