PEEK: Give Your Agent an Orientation Cache (MIT CSAIL, Khattab group)
The article discusses the introduction of PEEK, a new approach to context management for language model agents. PEEK enables agents to cache a context map that retains learned information about external contexts, improving efficiency in repeated tasks. This method enhances performance while reducing costs compared to existing frameworks.
- ▪PEEK allows agents to maintain a compact context map that stores learned information across interactions.
- ▪The system includes a Distiller, Cartographer, and Evictor to manage knowledge extraction and storage.
- ▪PEEK has been shown to improve task quality and reduce iteration costs compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.19932 Code: github.com/zhuohangu/peektl;drLLM agents such as Claude Code , Codex , RLM , and Hermes Agent increasingly operate over long and recurring external contexts: document corpora, code repositories, and other resources that the agent queries again and again but live outside the LLM’s context window. This capability is now referred to as Grounded Reasoning . Existing approaches preserve the agent’s trajectory, passive access to raw materials, or task-level strategies.
