arXiv:2609. 04875v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-running LLM agents are stateful: beyond the transcript they accrete compressed summaries, plaintext memory, pending tool plans, and, under every serving API, a KV cache.

arXiv:2606. 10062v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation-model agents are increasingly long-lived systems that remember users across interactions, making memorization an explicit deployment-time function rather than solely a property of model weights.

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.

The paper introduces MemProbe, a framework inspired by cognitive science to evaluate stability-plasticity tradeoffs in agent memory systems. It offers four experimental paradigms—interference, misinformation, consolidation strength, and reconsolidation window—to manipulate memory updates, preservation, and uncertainty. Using a 56-episode diagnostic suite, the authors evaluate six incremental memory systems, revealing that similar overall scores can mask distinct behavioral profiles in how memories are updated, preserved, attributed, and temporally organized.

The paper introduces D$^2$ACCI, a dual-loop diagnostic protocol designed to improve evidence-preserving memory in large language model agents. It provides stage-level diagnostic traces, protected-slice monitoring, and a graded observability metric (DCR) to localize failures within the memory pipeline. Applied to MemStack and evaluated on three benchmarks, the protocol achieves high accuracy and demonstrates statistically significant gains from specific memory interventions.
