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.

MemoryArena is a new evaluation gym that benchmarks agent memory in interdependent multi‑session tasks. Unlike prior benchmarks that test memorization or single‑session action in isolation, MemoryArena requires agents to acquire memory while interacting with the environment and then use that memory to guide future decisions across a range of tasks such as web navigation, planning, information search, and formal reasoning. The benchmark reveals that agents excelling on existing long‑context memory tests perform poorly here, highlighting a gap in current memory evaluation methods.

The paper introduces Recuris, a recursive Experiential‑Working Memory architecture that lets long‑horizon agents track task progress and select skills based on current needs rather than full history. By coupling working memory with experiential memory, execution becomes structured evidence that localizes failures to specific memory components, enabling a bounded recursive memory‑evolution loop. Across four benchmarks and ten models, Recuris improves task success in 35 of 37 model‑benchmark pairs, raising state‑of‑the‑art performance on tau‑bench and SkillFlow and reducing common long‑horizon failures by up to 80%.

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.
