Shared Selective Persistent Memory for Agentic LLM Systems

arXiv:2607. 09493v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic LLM systems that generate code through multi-turn tool use face a fundamental context problem: each session starts from zero, discarding the configuration choices, domain constraints, data schemas, and tool-use patterns that made previous sessions productive.

From LLM Inference to Agentic Workloads: Characterization and Implications for Serving Systems

arXiv:2608. 15127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic applications are shifting AI serving from isolated model inference to long-running workloads in which LLMs coordinate tools, environments, and persistent state.

AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.

Grounding Agent Memory: Environment-Probing Curation for Enterprise Agents

The paper introduces environment‑probing curation, a deployment‑compatible method that equips asynchronous curator agents with read‑only world tools to verify, scope, and refresh candidate memories without retraining models. In a GitHub Copilot‑based harness, this approach improves pass rates on CLBench from 39% to 73%, boosts reward metrics, and reduces both query counts and task‑agent costs. Across six APEX management‑consulting tasks, the method consistently outperforms baselines, yielding higher rewards and fewer tool calls while maintaining a compact task‑time interface.

Kernel-Managed Shared Memory for System-Wide Personalization

The paper introduces kernel‑managed shared memory, a system‑level abstraction that lets specialized agents write structured, tagged memories while the agent‑system kernel controls retrieval, privacy, and prompt injection. Implemented on AIOS, this design outperforms unmanaged external memory, standard retrieval‑augmented injection, and full context concatenation across GPT‑4o, Llama‑3.1:8B, and Qwen‑2.5:7B, improving personalization scores by 2.4‑4.0 points on a 5‑point scale and reducing latency and token usage by 15‑61%. The results show that centralizing memory management in the kernel delivers most personalization benefits at a fraction of the cost.

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.
