arXiv:2610.16288v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier LLM agents perform complex interactive tasks, but their inference costs motivate transferring their experience to smaller open-source agents. Distillation and latent communication typically require target-model training or access to source-model internals. We study how textual frontier-model trajectories can provide reusable local controls for a frozen agent. Inspired by protocol reverse engineering, we introduce $\textit{Agentic Latents}$, comprising anchored states and dynamic profiles of feedback--response cycles elicited by replay in
