SAM: State-Adaptive Memory for Long-Horizon Reasoning Agent

arXiv:2605.24468v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agentic reasoning requires large language models to act over long interaction histories containing thoughts, tool calls, observations, and partial conclusions. The challenge is not merely that these histories grow long, but that information needed for the current decision may be scattered across distant steps and only become relevant later. Existing approaches address this difficulty by truncating the interaction history, compressing it into shorter surrogates, or retrieving selected parts of it for reuse, but they do not explicitly model how access to past interaction should adapt to the agent's evolving state. We instead cast long-horizon reasoning as a problem of state-adaptive memory. To this end, we propose State-Adaptive Memory~(SAM), a standalone framework that consolidates ongoing interaction into compact memory cues while preserving raw trajectory pages for intent-driven recall. These cues are not treated as replacements for history; rather, they serve as lightweight handles that allow the agent to reconstruct temporally distant information according to its current needs, without retraining the underlying backbone. We further optimize the memory module through expert-guided supervision and reinforcement learning, aligning it with trajectory-level utility. Across BrowseComp, BrowseComp-ZH, WideSearch, and HLE, SAM consistently outperforms strong baselines over diverse agent backbones. Our results suggest that explicit memory modeling provides a simple and effective foundation for long-horizon agentic reasoning.

AgentFugue: Agent Scaling for Long-Horizon Tasks through Collective Reasoning

arXiv:2605.24486v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress on long-horizon agentic tasks has been driven largely by scaling up individual agents through stronger models, better tools, and more effective scaffolding. In contrast, much less is understood about scaling out: whether multiple peer agents, all targeting the same task, can become an additional source of capability without relying on explicit role specialization or workflow orchestration. We study this question and propose AgentFugue, a collective reasoning framework built around a shared reasoning hub. As peer agents explore the same task in parallel, the hub records concise notes on what each agent has established, attempted, or ruled out, and enables each agent to selectively access what other agents have discovered in a form useful for its current search. This design turns otherwise isolated trajectories into a connected ecology of reusable intermediate reasoning without requiring centralized planning. We instantiate the hub as a plug-in communication layer, trained with supervised fine-tuning and end-to-end reinforcement learning. Across the challenging long-horizon settings we study, AgentFugue improves over strong baselines. Our results suggest that collective reasoning can turn scaling out peer agent systems into a distinct source of capability gains, rather than merely a way of spending more compute.

GPNMB Drives Brain Metastasis by Sculpting a Pathological Endothelial-Immune Interactome

Cancer Discov. 2026 Apr 15. doi: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-25-1663. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

Brain metastases (BM) remain a devastating disease with dismal prognosis. How circulating tumor cells (CTCs) penetrate the blood brain barrier (BBB) and reprogram the brain microenvironment remain unclear. Using spatially resolved multi-omic profiling of CTCs and brain metastases, integrated with experimental and clinical analyses, we identified Glycoprotein Non-Metastatic Melanoma Protein B (GPNMB) as a CTC-secreted driver of vascular disruption and brain colonization. CBX3 upregulation induced GPNMB expression, which bound endothelial EGFR, triggering CBL-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. Attenuated EGFR signaling suppressed FTO and disrupted endothelial junctions via YTHDF2-dependent TJP1 m6A methylation. Remarkably, GPNMB-induced BBB remodeling promoted immune infiltration via CXCL12-CXCR4 axis, and induced time course-dependent T cell exhaustion within the brain microenvironment. Clinically, elevated CBX3⁺GPNMB⁺ CTCs and plasma CXCL12 were significantly associated with BM progression in lung cancer and melanoma. Therapeutically, dual blockade of GPNMB and PD1 enhanced anti-BM efficacy in mice, unveiling GPNMB as a promising target for precision immunotherapy.
