Memory systems are essential for personalized Large Language Models (LLMs). However, retrieval within these systems primarily relies on semantic similarity, potentially missing logically critical memories with limited semantic overlap. We refer to this failure as semantic deflection, which remains insufficiently evaluated by existing benchmarks. To address this gap, we construct IMLogic, a benchmark for implicit logical memory retrieval in long dialogues. Each question is designed around the divergence between semantic and logical relevance, with diagnostic response options that probe semantic deflection, hallucination, and lack of personalization. To help systems utilize associations that are difficult to discover through semantic matching, we introduce root memory, a structured representation that distills reusable, response-guiding logic from user histories through LLM reasoning and grounds it in supporting evidence. We further develop RootMem, a plug-and-play framework that constructs and routes root memories to complement semantic retrieval. Extensive experiments reveal persistent challenges across retrieval methods and memory systems, including substantial preference-driven errors even under full-memory access. RootMem consistently improves performance, demonstrating the potential of structured personalized logic while leaving considerable challenges unresolved. Our benchmark and code are available at https://github.com/ThisIsCosine/IMLogic.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted in downstream industries, yet aligning proprietary agents remains challenging due to limited high-quality data and hardware constraints in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).We propose EfficientTool, a cost-effective, tool-conditioned alignment framework forming a closed loop over data collection, iterative training, and deployment-oriented evaluation.EfficientTool adopts a self-evolving bootstrapping-based Trajectory Collection Pipeline for high-quality trajectory generation, followed by iterative Model Training Pipeline using tool-conditioned parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT).We evaluate the model with Interaction and Evaluation Pipeline in public and private benchmarks, and deploy for an internal enterprise agent.Results show that EfficientTool effectively aligns model in SME scenarios while preserving general tool-calling capability.

Multi-agent LLM systems routinely generate multiple candidate responses that are aggregated by an LLM judge. To reduce the dominant prefill cost in such pipelines, recent work advocates KV cache reuse across partially shared contexts and reports substantial speedups for generation agents. In this work, we show that these efficiency gains do not transfer uniformly to judge-centric inference. Across GSM8K, MMLU, and HumanEval, we find that reuse strategies that are effective for execution agents can severely perturb judge behavior: end-task accuracy may appear stable, yet the judge’s selection becomes highly inconsistent with dense prefill. We quantify this risk using Judge Consistency Rate (JCR) and provide diagnostics showing that reuse systematically weakens cross-candidate attention, especially for later candidate blocks. Our ablation further demonstrates that explicit cross-candidate interaction is crucial for preserving dense-prefill decisions. Overall, our results identify a previously overlooked failure mode of KV cache reuse and highlight judge-centric inference as a distinct regime that demands dedicated, risk-aware system design.

In this report, we introduce the Gemini 1.5 family of models, representing the next generation of highly compute-efficient multimodal models capable of recalling and reasoning over fine-grained information from millions of tokens of context, including multiple long documents and hours of video and audio. The family includes two new models: (1) an updated Gemini 1.5 Pro, which exceeds the February version on the great majority of capabilities and benchmarks; (2) Gemini 1.5 Flash, a more lightweight variant designed for efficiency with minimal regression in quality. Gemini 1.5 models achieve near-perfect recall on long-context retrieval tasks across modalities, improve the state-of-the-art in long-document QA, long-video QA and long-context ASR, and match or surpass Gemini 1.0 Ultra's state-of-the-art performance across a broad set of benchmarks. Studying the limits of Gemini 1.5's long-context ability, we find continued improvement in next-token prediction and near-perfect retrieval (>99%) up to at least 10M tokens, a generational leap over existing models such as Claude 3.0 (200k) and GPT-4 Turbo (128k). Finally, we highlight real-world use cases, such as Gemini 1.5 collaborating with professionals on completing their tasks achieving 26 to 75% time savings across 10 different job categories, as well as surprising new capabilities of large language models at the frontier; when given a grammar manual for Kalamang, a language with fewer than 200 speakers worldwide, the model learns to translate English to Kalamang at a similar level to a person who learned from the same content.
