Auto-Research Arena: Benchmarking and Advancing Auto-Research in Language Modeling

As autonomous research systems become more capable, benchmarks must both evaluate their performance and support meaningful research progress. We introduce Auto-Research Arena, a multi-target benchmark for evaluating autonomous research systems and discovering ideas in language modeling. Arena supports diverse research objectives within a shared experimental environment by separating admissibility from improvement: model quality and resource constraints determine whether a result qualifies, while the selected target measures progress among admissible results. We instantiate Arena in language model pretraining with nine targets spanning model, data, training, and inference efficiency, and evaluate seven research harnesses using two foundation models. Arena clearly differentiates existing harnesses across research objectives, with several sophisticated methods outperformed by our simple sequential search baseline, indicating substantial headroom in current auto-research systems. Beyond evaluation, Arena reveals a substantially broader frontier of model and system ideas aligned with active research directions. Reusing these discoveries in a new quality-driven search yields lower training loss under matched data and FLOPs and lower held-out BPB at the same model size. Together, Arena provides a common framework for benchmarking autonomous research and expanding its scope in language modeling.

Reasoning models think in long, unstructured streams with no mechanism for compressing or organizing their own intermediate state. We introduce MEMENTO: a method that teaches models to segment reasoning into blocks, compress each block into a memento, i.e., a dense state summary, and reason forward by attending only to mementos, reducing context, KV cache, and compute. To train MEMENTO models, we release OpenMementos, a public dataset of 228K reasoning traces derived from OpenThoughts-v3, segmented and annotated with intermediate summaries. We show that a two-stage SFT recipe on OpenMementos is effective across different model families (Qwen3, Phi-4, Olmo 3) and scales (8B--32B parameters). Trained models maintain strong accuracy on math, science, and coding benchmarks while achieving ${\sim}2.5\times$ peak KV cache reduction. We extend vLLM to support our inference method, achieving ${\sim}1.75\times$ throughput improvement while also enabling us to perform RL and further improve accuracy. Finally, we identify a dual information stream: information from each reasoning block is carried both by the memento text and by the corresponding KV states, which retain implicit information from the original block. Removing this channel drops accuracy by 15\,pp on AIME24.
