- What happened
- Researchers propose SourceLearn, a method for LLM agents to develop persistent understanding of external knowledge sources through adaptive revisiting and task-guided refinement.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building LLM systems that repeatedly query the same authoritative sources for knowledge-intensive tasks over time.
- Watch out
- Results are from arXiv preprint; real-world performance on production systems with diverse source types and scales remains unvalidated.

The patterns behind this
- Eval-Driven Development (Agent CI)
- Temporal Knowledge Graph Memory
- Agentic Context Engineering (Evolving Playbook)
Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
