We train a model using reinforcement learning to ingest documents and produce the most useful context for downstream tasks. Optimizing with RL for downstream use produces very different artifacts from ordinary summaries: shorter, denser, and often creative at compactly summarizing information. We call these neural cheat-sheets . Neural cheat-sheets approach the performance of learned KV-caches — which are several orders of magnitude larger and not human-readable — while preserving the auditability of natural language summaries that enterprise workflows require. At deployment time, the model ta
