LLM agents increasingly maintain personal memory across sessions, but it can conflict. Preferences depend on context, behavior evolves, and sources can conflict. When a query lacks context, time, or s...
arXiv:2601. 09445v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In language models (LMs), intra-memory knowledge conflict arises when inconsistent information about the same subject is encoded within the model's parametric knowledge.

Abstract: Learning from past experience benefits from two complementary forms of memory: episodic traces -- raw trajectories of what happened -- and consolid...

The paper introduces FAME, a training‑free framework that evaluates false memory in autonomous agents by tracking how their internal beliefs shift under counterfactual scenarios. False memory, defined as biases arising from spurious correlations, environment shifts, or knowledge conflicts, is hard to detect with standard methods. FAME measures concept drift in hidden states, achieving AUROCs between 76.2% and 96.7% and outperforming baselines on benchmarks such as GSM‑Symbolic, GitChameleon, and BigBench‑Hard.

arXiv:2608. 08236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems often fail not for lack of candidate answers, but because they have no persistent mechanism for deciding which incompatible claim should currently be trusted.

arXiv:2608. 07438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human-like cognition does not select past experience by topical similarity alone: affective significance and unresolved conflict also shape what becomes accessible.

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. 05976v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work shows that LLM agents struggle to correct errors in their own reasoning traces yet show markedly higher correction rates when identical claims appear under external sources.

arXiv:2606. 05761v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent AI assistants, such as OpenClaw, accumulate large collections of related memories over long-term interactions.

arXiv:2605. 08442v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We discover that prompt-injection success and tool-execution success are separable safety properties: defenses that block injection do not necessarily block execution, and vice versa.
