The paper introduces the Multi-Session Personalized Tool Calling (MPT) benchmark, containing 4,695 instances across 459 multi‑session histories that test Preference Recall, Induction, and Transfer. It proposes PRefine, a test‑time memory method that refines a user’s latent preference via a generate‑verify‑refine loop. Experiments with five LLMs show that PRefine outperforms existing memory systems and even full‑history prompting on Preference Transfer, suggesting that personalized agents should encode behavior as preferences rather than merely storing past interactions.

arXiv:2602. 12394v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Personalized prompting offers large opportunities for deploying large language models (LLMs) to diverse users, yet existing prompt optimization methods primarily focus on task-level optimization while largely overlooking user-specific preferences and latent constraints of individual users.

HyperTrace is a training‑free framework that personalizes large language models by tracing latent user preferences online. It maintains interpretable natural‑language hypotheses about short‑term intent and long‑term preferences, updating them with an SMC‑style reweighting process driven by an LLM‑based surrogate choice model. Experiments on PRISM and PersonaMem‑v2 demonstrate that HyperTrace improves response alignment, preference prediction, and profile consistency compared to strong online baselines.

PersonaMem-v3 is a benchmark and evaluation harness designed to assess omni-platform personal intelligence for AI agents. It is built from over one million anonymized real-world engagement histories, covering social media, chatbots, calendars, and AI companions, and tracks user preferences and habits over time. The benchmark tests agents on personalization, LLM-powered recommendation, proactiveness, agentic tool use, and geo-temporal reasoning, evaluating their ability to infer holistic user understanding, personalize responses, rerank recommendations, follow user steering, and avoid inappropriate personalization.

arXiv:2607. 26473v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalizing large language models (LLMs) to individual users is essential for improving user experience, yet existing approaches typically rely on explicit preference supervision such as pairwise comparisons or demographic attributes, limiting their applicability in natural interaction settings.
