Follow the timelineWhen the Consumer Is an Agent: Execution-Grounded Service-Level Agreements
arXiv:2611.04182v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly act as service consumers. They select operations and report whether a task is complete. In an asynchronous distributed service, an accepted call or immediate state read does not establish that the required state became observable by its deadline. We introduce execution-grounded completion contracts, which treat completion as a service-level outcome. An independent control plane observes a deadline-bound service-state predicate, admits completion, and directs recovery while the agent performs the task. We evaluate placement and deletion in a live multi-provider data service with heterogeneous models and an injected transfer delay. Across policies, some tasks that missed the deadline were accepted and some that met it were rejected. Under enforcement, accepted completions remained consistent with later observations; all included healthy tasks completed, and unresolved faulted tasks terminated as unverified. The results show that completion of these tasks can be governed by independent observation of service state rather than by the agent's self-assessment.
Why Pay for Long Reasoning When Rewrite Do Trick? Causal Effects of Reasoning History Compaction on Future Generation and Agent Cost
arXiv:2611.03852v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reasoning substantially improves language models' ability to solve difficult problems, but long reasoning traces make these gains expensive. Efficient reasoning should express useful analysis in fewer tokens by reducing repetition and text that adds little value to solving the problem. Progress in proprietary models motivates this goal, yet their hidden scratchpads limit direct study of how it is achieved. We investigate whether open-weight models can generate less verbose reasoning by changing the form of their own earlier thoughts, without retraining. Our intervention rewrites prior reasoning into compact state records before pending tool results are revealed, then compares continuations from original and compact histories. Across the tested models, accepted compact histories usually shorten future reasoning; a coding case study also shows less repeated verification after a shared candidate solution. In software-agent deployments, compaction can reduce total spending, although task quality and rewrite-inclusive time depend on the target and compressor. These findings identify reasoning history as one way to reduce future reasoning-token use and motivate model-specific compaction policies evaluated for both efficiency and retained capability.

kv-cache : never return 0 kv_rows for sequences without cells (#31570) A cache that shares the cells of another one (f.ex. the gemma4 assistant) can build a graph before its sequences have any cells, f.ex. at the server warmup. get_n_kv_rows() then returned 0, which means that kv_rows are not used, so the graph fell back to the dense KQ mask and the scheduler re-planned for it. Later graphs with larger masks then aborted with GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC=1. **Website:** - **Attestations:** - **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Silicon (arm64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b12065/llama-b12065-bin-macos-arm64.tar.gz) - macOS Apple Silicon (arm64, KleidiAI enabled) [DISABLED](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/23780) - [macOS Intel (x64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/l

The race to deploy AI agents finds a familiar hurdle in data access
Enterprises racing to put AI agents into production are discovering that role-based access control, not model choice, decides whether those agents can be trusted. Rising inference costs, privacy worries and sovereignty demands are also pulling more AI workloads back inside corporate data centers. That shift favors companies that have spent years governing sensitive data at […] The post The race to deploy AI agents finds a familiar hurdle in data access appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
