Agentic coding faces growing problems of affordability and wasted tokens. We introduce Blast Radius, a predictive memory management layer that estimates an incoming prompt's reach through coupled context and code channels. NECROPHORESIS enables reversible eviction by archiving dead context verbatim, while Recurring Dead Matter (RDM) identifies and buries repeatedly occurring transcripts. We formulate reversible context eviction over a Polish context space, providing a measurable foundation for retention, recurrence, and eviction while connecting context entropy to resurrection probability. Across seven OpenAI models, Blast Radius reduced token consumption by 17-26%, achieved the lowest overflow rate among tested policies, and remained byte exact reversible. Of 450 buried bodies, 378 were recurring dead matter and zero were recalled. Blast Radius operates beneath HCRC, determining which records to bury and how far an incoming prompt may reach into the codebase. This work contributes to the broader goal of Algosophy: making large language models and agentic coding more reusable and sustainable.
Agentic coding tools present new opportunities to transform research workflows. The performance of agent systems built depends on both large language models (LLMs) and the harness around LLMs, which is the orchestration code that determines an agent's behavior. We present ToFu, an agentic harness for researchers that reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and integrates with your development tools. ToFu plays a dual role in research. As a research assistant, it supports practical research workflows with superior token efficiency, lower cost, and multilingual capability compared with existing agentic harnesses. Its release under the MIT License further enables local deployment for privacy-sensitive users. As a research object, ToFu provides a white-box agentic harness that allows researchers to inspect, modify, and evaluate its orchestration logic, tool-use behavior, and harness design, while retaining strong benchmark performance and an application-level user experience.
Long-horizon agentic LLMs are increasingly limited by finite context windows, as extended interaction trajectories can exceed the maximum context length before a task is completed. Context compaction offers a natural solution by summarizing previous interaction states and continuing the rollout under a compressed context, but incorporating compaction into reinforcement learning remains underexplored. We propose CompactionRL, a reinforcement learning strategy to train long-horizon agentic LLMs with context compaction. Our approach jointly optimizes task execution and summary generation with token-level loss normalization and cross-trajectory generalized advantage estimation. This design enables the LLM agents to learn from compacted long-horizon trajectories. We train CompactionRL on top of open models and observe consistent performance gains on agentic coding tasks. CompactionRL enables the open GLM-4.5-Air model (106B-A30B) to achieve Pass@1 scores of 66.8% on SWE-bench Verified and 24.5% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, with absolute gains of 7.0 and 3.1 points, respectively. Built upon GLM-4.7-Flash (30B-A3B), CompactionRL improves Pass@1 by 5.5 and 6.8 points, reaching 56.0% on SWE-bench Verified and 20.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, respectively. CompactionRL is thus deployed in the RL pipeline for training the open GLM-5.2 model (750B-A40B).
Large language models (LLMs) generate fluent outputs that can be wrong. Unlike humans, who often exhibit cues when providing false information, LLMs produce errors that are difficult to detect because autoregressive decoding provides no mechanism for verifying intermediate reasoning before state progression. We introduce Heaviside Continuity of Rolling Coefficients (HCRC), a verification-first execution framework that reformulates inference as predicate-gated state transitions governed by a Heaviside Gate. HCRC combines model confidence with independent verification signals from a parallel worker architecture, allowing execution to advance only when predefined correctness predicates are satisfied. This prevents invalid intermediate states from propagating, reducing epistemic entropy without modifying the underlying model. We evaluate HCRC on software-engineering and reasoning tasks across thirteen proposers from four providers. On capable proposers, the gate reduces the false-completion rate (FCR) from 4--7% to 0% while remaining latency-competitive and, in some settings, faster than the unwrapped model. On weaker proposers, it converts false completions into honest halts instead of corrupting downstream state. Beyond benchmarking, HCRC has operated for months as the production control plane of an agentic coding environment, authorizing file mutations, verification-driven progress reporting, and memory compaction. These results establish HCRC as a general framework for verification-driven LLM execution, showing that reliable reasoning can be achieved through principled execution control rather than model scale alone.
