PRO-LONG keeps full action logs and lifts long-horizon agents by 18 points on ARC-AGI-3

The paper argues that long-horizon agents reason better when nothing is thrown away from memory.
- PRO-LONG stores every observation, action, result, and short plan in a structured log instead of repeatedly summarizing and discarding details.
- The agent later uses ordinary tools like search and Python to recover relevant evidence from that log.
- On 25 hidden-rule games in ARC-AGI-3, the method improved the same base agents by 18 percentage points on average.
- It also matched or nearly matched stronger specialized systems while using 4.2–5.8× fewer billed tokens.
- The takeaway: long-term agent memory may work best when storage stays lossless and retrieval is programmable.
