See2Think: Do Multimodal Models Really Leverage Intermediate Visual States?

See2Think investigates whether multimodal models genuinely rely on intermediate visual states—sketches, annotations, intermediate images—during reasoning, or merely appear to. The study finds significant gaps in how models generate and actually use visual reasoning steps, a critical warning for developers building multimodal agents and visual reasoning pipelines.

Filesystem as LLM Agent Long-Term Memory: A Systematic Evaluation

Many deployed LLM agents use directory trees of markdown files as long-term memory, but this default approach has never been rigorously tested. This paper provides the first systematic evaluation of whether agents can keep a growing memory store organized as memories accumulate, conflict, and go stale—essential reading for anyone building file-based agent memory systems.
