AMP: A Vendor-Neutral Wire Format for Agent Memory Operations

arXiv:2606. 01138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent-memory frameworks - mem0, Letta/MemGPT, Cognee, Zep/Graphiti, MemoryOS, MemTensor - each ship their own SDK, storage layout, and operational vocabulary.

Control-Plane Placement Shapes Forgetting: An Architectural Study of Agent Memory Across Thirteen System Configurations

arXiv:2606. 15903v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Where an LLM sits in an agent memory pipeline -- between the recall plane that retrieves stored facts (extensively benchmarked) and the control plane that mutates them via supersede, release, purge (largely untested) -- shapes which forgetting failure modes the system recovers.

Fortunate Recall: Ontology-Driven Memory Lifecycle Management for Persistent Coherence in LLMs

Fortunate Recall (FR) introduces an ontology-driven policy layer that categorizes personal facts into over ten behavioral types and applies tailored lifecycle rules—such as differential decay, supersession, and event-time validity—to manage memory persistence in large language models. The FR-Bank implementation, independent of underlying infrastructure, achieves a 76.9% pass rate on the new LifecycleBench benchmark and improves LongMemEval-S performance, while significantly reducing confabulation rates compared to prior systems. Ablation studies show that the generic lifecycle metadata drives correctness, whereas the behavioral ontology enhances calibration and reduces downstream hallucinations.

When Does Memory Help? A Cost-Aware Evaluation of Long-Term Memory in Tool-Using LLM Agents

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.
