## One-line Takeaway
|
|
|
|
在线 memory 或 skill 的收益必须与“把相同推理预算直接交给基础 Agent”比较,不能只对比相同步数。
|
|
|
|
## Pilot Skim
|
|
|
|
- problem: augmentation 论文常忽略 induction、retrieval、verification 和 prompt injection 的额外 token。
|
|
- method: 用 Vanilla-IB 把近似相同预算用于更多 observe-act steps,并报告多 run 方差。
|
|
- evidence: WebArena 三域三模型中,Vanilla-IB 平均 SR 均最高且通常 token 更少;WorkArena-L1 上仍处于 success-cost frontier。
|
|
- boundary: 研究对象是 online augmentation;可离线摊销的 skill/memory 需要另一种成本模型。
