🥇 The Self-Correction Illusion: LLMs Correct Others but Not Themselves · prio 13

This research highlights that agent failures to self-correct are often structural artifacts related to chat-template roles rather than fundamental cognitive deficits. It provides builders with a practical, zero-cost technique to improve reasoning robustness in agentic workflows by manipulating role labels. arxiv.org · Agents Context Engineering

🥈 Connecting MCP Servers to Claude Code (Telegram, Databases, and Beyond) · prio 13

MCP enables agentic workflows by bridging AI assistants with external data sources, significantly reducing manual context-switching for developers. habr.com · 3 sources · MCP Agents Tool Use Anthropic

🥉 LANTERN: A Lightweight Memory Layer for Long-Context Conversations · prio 13

This research offers a practical, low-latency method for maintaining conversation history without relying on expensive LLM calls for compaction.
