    Berkeley AI Research proposes ABBEL, using belief-state supervision to make LLMs efficient at long-horizon interaction

    Berkeley AI Research has proposed ABBEL, a framework that separates an LLM's recursive summaries into natural-language “belief states” and scores their content with supervised signals to reduce performance loss from context compression in long interactions. On the collaborative-programming benchmark CollabBench, reconstruction-based belief scoring cut the performance gap with a full-context model by about 50%, reduced training from 100 steps to 50, and kept peak context length well below the full-context setup.

    PRX Part 4: our data strategy

    Part four of the PRX series describes its data strategy: pretraining data combines public and internal datasets; a VLM regenerates long descriptions of images, which are then converted into a streamable training corpus. The team switched to Qwen3-VL for on-the-fly text-latent computation during training, losing only about 3–4% throughput at 7B scale (adding roughly one day to a 30-day run). All images are encoded as JPEG at quality 92.
