arXiv:2606. 28876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language models often conflate two different goals: compressing history into an efficient state, and maintaining reliable long-term memory.

arXiv:2608. 14621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is increasingly central to LLM agents, yet memory design remains a highly coupled architecture problem: what to encode, how to store it, how to retrieve it, and how to manage it can vary substantially across tasks and backbone models.

arXiv:2608. 19652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM-based agents are deployed for longer and higher-stakes tasks, their memory systems continue to have crucial gaps.

arXiv:2608. 12435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers owe much of their strong long-context retrieval capability to a token-level memory that grows with context length.

arXiv:2607. 17621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing self-evolving memory systems mainly improve agent memory based on textual outputs, such as task trajectories and reflections.

arXiv:2607. 13591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external memory systems to accumulate experience across tasks.

arXiv:2607. 08032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models, and the agents built on them, spend an ever-growing share of their compute and memory on remembering: caching attention keys and values, carrying long prompts, maintaining recurrent state, and storing what happened in previous turns and sessions.
By Ashwin Gerard Colaco, Nada Lahjouji
RPMem introduces a two‑stage architecture that compiles each session into a model‑independent latent memory and then consolidates it with retained memory via a task‑trained recurrent gate. The consolidated memory is mapped to backbone‑specific low‑rank adaptation (LoRA) parameters, enabling the memory to transfer when the backbone is replaced. Across three long‑term memory benchmarks and five diverse backbones, RPMem achieves broad generalization with near‑constant update cost and memory footprint, outperforming existing parametric and text‑based baselines on the PERMA benchmark.

arXiv:2608. 03463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory is essential for LLM-based agents to sustain interactions and reliably leverage distant history.

arXiv:2606. 28876v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study memory-managed long-context attention: explicit bounded memory with a learned query-independent writer, lifecycle control, query-aware reading, calibrated sparse fallback, and frozen-LLM generation from raw evidence.
By Junyi Zou, Avrova Donz
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.
