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:2607. 13591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external memory systems to accumulate experience across tasks.
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.
arXiv:2607. 01523v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recurrent memory agents extend LLMs to arbitrarily long contexts by iteratively consolidating input into a fixed-size memory window.
arXiv:2605. 18421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent benchmarks for Large Language Model (LLM) agents mainly evaluate reasoning, planning, and execution.
arXiv:2608. 12720v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on long-term memory for persistent interactions, the retrieval mechanisms governing this memory are rarely treated as evolvable components.
arXiv:2608. 12522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based program evolution systems such as FunSearch and AlphaEvolve have shown strong ability to discover novel algorithms, but typically optimize each task in isolation, discarding search experience after completion.
arXiv:2507. 05257v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent benchmarks for Large Language Model (LLM) agents primarily focus on evaluating reasoning, planning, and execution capabilities, while another critical component-memory, encompassing how agents memorize, update, and retrieve long-term information-is under-evaluated due to the lack of benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 20202v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory has become a key component of large language models, enabling them to retain information and learn from long-term interactions.
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.
The paper introduces Ladder Side Tuning (LST), a parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning method that adds a lightweight side network to large language models. LST matches QLoRA’s compute scaling while halving peak memory usage, enabling 7B‑parameter models to be fine‑tuned on a single 12 GB GPU with 2k‑token contexts without gradient checkpointing. The authors also present xLadder, a depth‑extended variant that increases effective depth through cross‑connections, allowing deeper reasoning without extra memory overhead.
arXiv:2606. 07909v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern large language model (LLM) agents can use external tools to help users solve complex tasks.
arXiv:2607. 20458v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents operating over extended dialogues accumulate vast amounts of information, yet existing memory systems either retain everything indiscriminately or apply uniform forgetting heuristics that fail to distinguish relevant from irrelevant knowledge.
