   Real Long-Term Memory for AI: A 50-Million-Token Window That Is Faster and Cheaper Than Recompute
   We test a memory layer, the public package galahad-kv, that saves the KV state of each block of about 16,000 tokens to encrypted local NVMe disk and loads it back later, byte-exact, without recomputing it.

   Insights from Autoresearch for Solar Panel Segmentation
   This paper investigates AutoResearch, a protocol in which a coding language model edits a training program under a one-hour GPU budget and retains a change only if validation IoU improves.

   Decoupling Logic from Persona: Structural Immunity of Edge LLM Agents to Context Pollution
   We study what happens to the logical part of such an agent when that history is long, misleading and persona-heavy (persona-logic interference), and present a Decoupling Architecture (AO-DA) that separates logical inference ("What") from persona expression ("How") into two inference paths on one INT4 base model with hot-swappable LoRA adapters.
