Teaching LLMs to Update Beliefs for Efficient Long-Horizon Interaction

Wire brief

According to public reporting via BAIR Blog, overview of ABBEL compared to traditional recursive summarization.

In related context, beliefs replace the full interaction history as the agent’s working context, and belief grading improves performance by supervising the contents of each belief state.. As task horizons grow, LLM contexts can’t scale forever. Self-summarization enables concise, interpretable contexts, but at a significant performance cost, especially for human assistance domains where high quality data is scarce, e.g., collaborative code generation.

Reporting also notes that we address this with ABBEL : a framework that isolates and supervises the information content of summaries in the form of natural-language belief states. Motivation: the cost of recursive summarization For language models to effectively assist with increasingly complex tasks such as software development, they must be able to interact with us over hundreds or even thousands of steps. For such long tasks, it is impractical to keep the history of the entire interaction in context. The heuristic approach used so far has been summary generation, sometimes called context compaction.
