Plans Don't Persist: Why Context Management Is Load Bearing for LLM Agents
Researchers demonstrate that large language model agents fail to maintain plans as persistent internal state, instead relying on plans remaining in the context window. Using diagnostic techniques on Llama-3.1-70B and DeepSeek-R1, the study shows plan signal decays rapidly when compressed out of context, with practical implications for agent reliability in long-horizon tasks.
