Key points

  • Adding planning, long-term memory, and offloading to the tool set raised BrowseComp+ accuracy from 63.49% to 80.96%.
  • Reinforcement learning delivered a 5.34-point gain on the more difficult BrowseComp+ benchmark. The longer and harder the task, the greater the effect.
  • The baseline agent's input length grew linearly with each turn to 30K tokens, whereas ContextPilot stabilized at 8–10K tokens.
  • Reinforcement learning also reduced tool-use mistakes. Memory and offloading tool failures, which were frequent early on, decreased substantially during training.
  • It showed consistent improvements across different base models, including Qwen3-8B/14B and Gemma4-E4B.
