How Externalization Drives the Evolution of LLM Agents – Insights from a 54‑Page SJTU Review

A recent 54‑page arXiv review by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and collaborators argues that the reliability gains of LLM agents stem more from externalizing memory, skills, protocols, and harness infrastructure than from scaling the underlying model, outlining three structural mismatches and a unified externalization framework.
