AGORA: Adapter-Grounded Observation-Action Retention for Inference-Free Prompt Compression in LLM Agents
The article discusses a new method called AGORA for improving prompt compression in large language model (LLM) agents. AGORA addresses the issue of action-grammar destruction, which occurs when essential tokens are removed during compression. The method demonstrates significant performance retention compared to existing techniques, making it a promising advancement in the field of artificial intelligence.
- ▪AGORA is an inference-free step-level compressor designed for LLM agents.
- ▪The method retains at least 75% of uncompressed performance in 8 out of 9 tested scenarios.
- ▪AGORA combines a structural prompt parser with a relevance scorer trained on counterfactual next-action-change labels.
