LongSeeker: Elastic Context Orchestration for Long-Horizon Search Agents

Long-horizon search agents must manage a rapidly growing working context as they reason, call tools, and observe information. Naively accumulating all intermediate content can overwhelm the agent, increasing costs and the risk of errors. We propose that effective context management should be adaptive: parts of the agent's trajectory are maintained at different levels of detail depending on their current relevance to the task. To operationalize this principle, we introduce Context-ReAct, a general agentic paradigm for elastic context orchestration that integrates reasoning, context management, and tool use in a unified loop. Context-ReAct provides five atomic operations: Skip, Compress, Rollback, Snippet and Delete, which allow the agent to dynamically reshape its working context, preserving important evidence, summarizing resolved information, discarding unhelpful branches, and controlling context size. We prove that the Compress operator is expressively complete, while the other specialized operators provide efficiency and fidelity guarantees that reduce generation cost and hallucination risk. Building on this paradigm, we develop LongSeeker, a long-horizon search agent fine-tuned from Qwen3-30B-A3B on 10k synthesized trajectories. Across four representative search benchmarks, LongSeeker achieves 61.5% on BrowseComp and 62.5% on BrowseComp-ZH, substantially outperforming Tongyi DeepResearch (43.2% and 46.7%) and AgentFold (36.2% and 47.3%). These results highlight the potential of adaptive context management, showing that agents can achieve more reliable and efficient long-horizon reasoning by actively shaping their working memory.

Masked Generative Transformer Is What You Need for Image Editing

Diffusion models dominate image editing, yet their global denoising mechanism entangles edited regions with surrounding context, causing modifications to propagate into areas that should remain intact. We propose a fundamentally different approach by leveraging Masked Generative Transformers (MGTs), whose localized token-prediction paradigm naturally confines changes to intended regions. We present EditMGT, an MGT-based editing framework that is the first of its kind. Our approach employs multi-layer attention consolidation to aggregate cross-attention maps into precise edit localization signals, and region-hold sampling to explicitly prevent token flipping in non-target areas. To support training, we construct CrispEdit-2M, a 2M-sample high-resolution (>1024) editing dataset spanning seven categories. With only 960M parameters, EditMGT achieves state-of-the-art image similarity on multiple benchmarks while delivering 6x faster editing, demonstrating that MGTs offer a compelling alternative to diffusion-based editing.

Learning with Recoverable Forgetting

Life-long learning aims at learning a sequence of tasks without forgetting the previously acquired knowledge. However, the involved training data may not be life-long legitimate due to privacy or copyright reasons. In practical scenarios, for instance, the model owner may wish to enable or disable the knowledge of specific tasks or specific samples from time to time. Such flexible control over knowledge transfer, unfortunately, has been largely overlooked in previous incremental or decremental learning methods, even at a problem-setup level. In this paper, we explore a novel learning scheme, termed as Learning wIth Recoverable Forgetting (LIRF), that explicitly handles the task- or sample-specific knowledge removal and recovery. Specifically, LIRF brings in two innovative schemes, namely knowledge deposit and withdrawal, which allow for isolating user-designated knowledge from a pre-trained network and injecting it back when necessary. During the knowledge deposit process, the specified knowledge is extracted from the target network and stored in a deposit module, while the insensitive or general knowledge of the target network is preserved and further augmented. During knowledge withdrawal, the taken-off knowledge is added back to the target network. The deposit and withdraw processes only demand for a few epochs of finetuning on the removal data, ensuring both data and time efficiency. We conduct experiments on several datasets, and demonstrate that the proposed LIRF strategy yields encouraging results with gratifying generalization capability.
