arXiv:2604. 27906v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Persistent AI memory is often reduced to a retrieval problem: store prior interactions as text, embed them, and ask the model to recover relevant context later.
arXiv:2606. 29778v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term conversational agents need to remember and query cross-session, multi-typed information with complex correlations.
arXiv:2608. 14621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is increasingly central to LLM agents, yet memory design remains a highly coupled architecture problem: what to encode, how to store it, how to retrieve it, and how to manage it can vary substantially across tasks and backbone models.
arXiv:2608. 12365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For fifty years, data systems have answered two questions.
arXiv:2607. 13157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent memory is a systems problem for long-horizon agents.
arXiv:2605. 18421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent benchmarks for Large Language Model (LLM) agents mainly evaluate reasoning, planning, and execution.
arXiv:2607. 25066v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents accumulate reasoning traces, actions, and tool observations that can eventually exceed a model's fixed context window.
The paper introduces MERIT, a benchmark that evaluates the marginal benefit of long‑term memory for tool‑using large language model agents while explicitly accounting for cost. MERIT provides episodic tool‑use tasks across three domains, verifies dependence on earlier‑episode facts, and measures memory operations in tokens and dollars. Experiments on GPT‑4.1‑mini, Claude Haiku 4.5, and Claude Sonnet 5 show that memory can significantly improve task success, but its utility varies widely across models and memory implementations, and full replay is rarely cost‑effective.
arXiv:2606. 01138v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agent-memory frameworks -- mem0, Letta/MemGPT, Cognee, Zep/Graphiti, MemoryOS, MemTensor -- each ship their own SDK, storage layout, and operational vocabulary.
arXiv:2608. 19652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM-based agents are deployed for longer and higher-stakes tasks, their memory systems continue to have crucial gaps.
arXiv:2606. 05761v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent AI assistants, such as OpenClaw, accumulate large collections of related memories over long-term interactions.
arXiv:2606. 09900v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is the missing layer for LLM agents: across sessions they forget, and the common workaround -- replaying the whole history into the prompt -- is expensive, slow, and, as distractors accumulate, less accurate.
arXiv:2607. 12893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory has become a foundational capability for LLM-based agents that accompany users across extended, multi-session interactions.
