Conversational AI agents commonly lack persistent memory across sessions. The obvious fixes like injecting full chat histories into the context window, or delegating to a third-party memory service, either exhaust the model's context budget or send personal data through infrastructure the user does not control.

AI systems increasingly need to combine two demanding capabilities: navigating multi-session conversation history and performing deep reading comprehension within long documents. Yet no existing benchmark evaluates both simultaneously.
arXiv:2606. 15405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is essential for conversational agents to remain coherent across extended dialogues, follow through on commitments made many sessions earlier, and adapt their behaviour to each user.

arXiv:2607. 26072v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is becoming a core capability of LLM-based agents, but existing evaluations largely test conversational recall in open-domain or persona-grounded settings.

arXiv:2606. 06337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) deployments for long-horizon tasks face a fundamental constraint: context windows are finite while productive work sessions are not.

arXiv:2607. 16211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents augmented with persistent memory can recall past interactions, but existing systems suffer from two limitations: flat, unstructured storage loses relational context needed for multi-hop and temporal reasoning, and reliance on expensive LLM-based classification makes them impractical for latency-sensitive deployment.

arXiv:2606. 13177v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to operate over long-term interactions, where information from past dialogues must be preserved and recalled to support future tasks.
