Beyond Retrieval: Query-Conditioned Reuse of Long-Horizon Agent Trajectories

Retrieval can identify a past trajectory that may matter, yet it does not specify how an acting agent should use that trajectory after users, entities, constraints, or environment state have changed. We identify this post-retrieval reuse step as a distinct bottleneck for long-horizon trajectory memory and formulate an evaluation framework that holds candidate retrieval, target state, model, decoding, and tool budget fixed while varying the support delivered to the agent. We instantiate the framework with query-conditioned reuse (QCR), a deliberately simple target-bound note that records a reusable procedure, bindings to recover, applicability conditions, and verification requirements. QCR serves to test the reuse hypothesis rather than to claim a universally preferred memory format. Across 2,391 target instances in WebArena, WorkArena, and AppWorld, QCR reaches 62.3% average Success, 10.7 points above Full Trajectory, while using 48.9% fewer online tokens. Summary reranking selects a reusable memory for 94.8% of targets, placing end-task Success within 1.8 points of an oracle reusable selector. Analyses by trajectory length and source--target binding shift show that direct trajectory injection loses much of its utility as traces grow longer or source-specific values change, whereas target-bound support preserves a larger share of the measured gain. The resulting framework separates retrieval quality from the problem of turning retrieved experience into safe, useful support for a new task.

From Rollouts to Recipes: Self-Contained Post-Training for LLMs

Post-training large language models usually applies a single training recipe to all samples, even though the model's own rollouts reveal different sample-level learning states. We propose Self-Routing, a behavior-conditioned post-training framework that uses rollout correctness and confidence to decide how each sample should be optimized. Depending on its behavior state, a sample is routed to GRPO, on-policy self-distillation, regularization, or skipping, allowing training to adapt without external teachers, extra annotations, or additional sampling. Experiments on mathematical reasoning across Qwen3 and Qwen3.5 backbones show that Self-Routing consistently improves over uniform GRPO, uniform OPSD, fixed mixtures, and simpler routing baselines. Further analyses show that the routing distribution changes over training and reduces unnecessary updates on low-signal or already stable samples.

GLaQ: Grounding Latent Queries in Visual Evidence for Multimodal Reasoning

GLaQ, a grounded latent-query framework that replaces sequential latent rollout with a fixed set of context-conditioned queries grounded in the original visual tokens, is introduced, suggesting that direct query-to-image grounding can recover localized evidence from the full image without external visual operations or autoregressive latent rollouts.
