Blast Radius
The paper claims a memory layer can cut agentic coding token use by 17–26% while preserving exact reversibility.
Blast Radius predicts how far a prompt will reach through context and code, then decides what records can be “buried” from active memory. Its NECROPHORESIS mechanism archives dead context verbatim so eviction can be reversed, while Recurring Dead Matter targets repeated transcripts. The authors report tests across seven OpenAI models, with the lowest overflow rate among tested policies and no recalls among 378 recurring buried items. A newer v3 entry is listed as withdrawn.
