    AREX: Towards a Recursively Self Improving Agent for Deep Research

    Pippa and Tyler dig into AREX, a recursively self-improving deep research agent from BAAI that alternates between an inner search loop and an outer constraint-verification loop — and discuss whether that architecture is genuinely novel or a smarter repackaging of ideas the field already had.

  2. Ep 770

    Towards a Science of Scaling Agent Systems

    Onyx and Echo examine “Towards a Science of Scaling Agent Systems,” a controlled study of when multi-agent architectures help, when coordination becomes a liability, and why task structure matters more than simply adding agents.

  3. Ep 747

    Overview: Context Window Management

    We finally slow down and explain Context Window Management from the ground up, because we keep hand-waving it whenever agents, memory, cost, and long tasks come up. The whole thing is the fixed-desk problem: what stays on the desk, what gets compressed, and what falls off.

  4. Ep 744

    The Microsoft Agent Framework Harness is now released | Microsoft Agent Framework

    Microsoft Agent Framework has released a stable, batteries-included agent harness for Python and .NET, packaging planning, memory, tool loops, approvals, context compaction, and telemetry behind a configurable agent wrapper.

  5. Ep 741

    Building Governed Agents: A Framework for Cost, Control, and Compliance

    Vince and Ava examine LangSmith’s framework for governed agents, focusing on the LLM gateway as a runtime control plane for model choice, cost, permissions, evidence, and continuous improvement.

  6. Ep 650

    Long Horizon Terminal Bench: Testing the Limits of Agents on Long Horizon Terminal Tasks with Dense Reward Based Grading

    Laura and Harper dig into Long-Horizon-Terminal-Bench, a new benchmark exposing the gap between short-task agent demos and real multi-hour workflows. They break down the dense-reward grading system, the staggering token costs (9.9M per task), and why current models are failing at sustained execution despite high step-level competence.

    How to Use RLMs in Deep Agents

    Exploring Recursive Language Models (RLMs) and their implementation in Deep Agents for handling long contexts efficiently.
