User as Engram proposes storing per-user facts as surgical, hash-keyed edits to a memory table, leaving reasoning in a shared adapter. This design achieves 5.6x higher indirect-reasoning accuracy and maintains base-level reasoning performance, with a memory footprint 33,000x smaller than per-user LoRA. The approach enables disjoint user edits that compose losslessly, outperforming retrieval pipelines beyond 100 facts.

BinTrack: Open-Source Spatial QA with Binary Trajectory Search
BinTrack is a fully open-source spatial question answering agent that uses binary search over a robot's trajectory to locate answers. It achieves up to 22.8% higher accuracy than other open-source methods and matches closed-source model performance on the most challenging global category of the SpaceLocQA benchmark. The system also offers over 1.5x faster inference and introduces GangnamLoop, a real-world outdoor benchmark collected with a quadruped robot.
Best local models for reasoning in agentic AI
The creator of EverFern asks which local models work best for agentic workflows and browser/computer use. They note that model intelligence is rarely the bottleneck, with reliability and recovery systems being more critical than model choice.
H-RePlan: Hierarchical Recovery for Cross-Device Agent Systems
H-RePlan introduces a hierarchical replanning framework that separates device-local strategy recovery from global orchestrator replanning. It outperforms existing baselines by achieving higher completion and instruction adherence, with reduced token cost, through scope-aware recovery in multi-device agent systems.
AutoPass: Evidence-Guided LLM Agents for Compiler Performance Tuning
AutoPass uses runtime and compiler evidence to guide LLM-generated optimization decisions, outperforming expert heuristics and classical autotuning methods. It achieves geometric-mean speedups of 1.043x on x86-64 and 1.117x on ARM64 systems without prior training or fine-tuning.
Zero-Shot Agentic LLMs Extract Lung Pathology from Narratives
A zero-shot agentic workflow using open-source LLMs extracts 13 College of American Pathologists synoptic fields from lung resection pathology reports. The best model (GPT-OSS-20B) achieved a Micro-F1 of 0.893, outperforming baseline recall and accurately capturing complex pathologic relations without task-specific training.
