TARL: Transaction-Aware Reliable Ledgers for Executable Memory Management in Long-Term Agents

arXiv:2608. 03699v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent memory helps long-term agents retain knowledge, yet a single update error can repeatedly distort future retrieval and reasoning.

From Faulty Memories to Corrected Actions: Dependency-Guided Rollback Repair for Memory-Augmented Agents

arXiv:2608. 10502v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent memory lets language-model agents reuse information across sessions, but it also makes errors durable: a poisoned, stale, or misattributed record can alter reasoning, tool use, answers, and subsequent memory writes.

Beyond Semantic Organization: Memory as Execution State Management for Long-Horizon Agents

arXiv:2606. 06090v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based agents increasingly tackle long-horizon tasks with interdependent decisions, where each action reshapes future constraints and intermediate errors can cascade.

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.
