arXiv:2608. 01285v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The continued development of LLMs toward persistent and adaptive intelligence increasingly requires long-term memory mechanisms that preserve and reuse information across interactions.
arXiv:2607. 13591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external memory systems to accumulate experience across tasks.
arXiv:2608. 10108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents accumulate trajectories spanning hundreds of interleaved reasoning, action, and observation steps, where answering a query may depend on evidence buried far back in the history.
Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external memory systems to accumulate experience across tasks. Yet nearly all existing approaches, from graph-structured memories to reflective insight stores, access memory through fixed, hand-designed heuristics.
arXiv:2608. 02515v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-running assistants and agents consume interaction streams that eventually outgrow the context.
arXiv:2608. 03463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory is essential for LLM-based agents to sustain interactions and reliably leverage distant history.
arXiv:2607. 24097v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory-augmented LLM agents typically answer queries by retrieving relevant memories and feeding them directly to an answer model.
arXiv:2607. 05708v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent LLM-based agent systems continuously accumulate context across multi-turn interactions, tool invocations, and cross-session workflows.
The paper introduces the Unified Memory Agent (UMA), a system that builds a query‑agnostic external memory from a data stream and reuses it across multiple question‑answering sessions. UMA employs a single policy to manage a structured Memory Bank via CRUD operations and uses Task‑Stratified GRPO to supervise memory maintenance based on QA trajectory rewards. The authors also present Ledger‑QA, a benchmark for long‑horizon state tracking, and demonstrate that UMA outperforms other methods on test‑time learning and accurate‑retrieval tasks, with UMA‑Specialist further improving performance after task adaptation.
arXiv:2608. 03137v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents must retain reusable information, control a bounded active context, and recover earlier evidence during long-horizon interaction.
arXiv:2609.14138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLM agents become integrated into increasingly complex workflows, they must continually acquire new capabilities while retaining competence on pre...
arXiv:2607. 22690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory lets LLM agents reuse past interactions, but raw dialogue histories are verbose and information-sparse.
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.
