Reglos: A Self-Evolving Personal Memory Agent with Recursive Self-Improvement

Reglos is a training‑free personal memory agent that continuously updates an append‑only record of user interactions, allowing newer preferences to override older ones and enabling selective forgetting of facts. Its memory harness evolves through recursive self‑improvement: a coding agent generates patches from failure traces, a critic from a second model family screens them, and a fixed evaluator decides which patches to accept. Using the same backbone across systems, Reglos surpasses state‑of‑the‑art memory agents such as Mem0, MemOS, and EverOS, achieving 61.3 % and 84.0 % on PersonaMem‑v2 and LongMemEval‑S with Qwen3.8‑27B, and 57.5 % and 87.2 % with GPT‑5.6 Luna.

MemMA: Coordinating the Memory Cycle through Multi-Agent Reasoning and In-Situ Self-Evolution

MemMA is a plug‑and‑play multi‑agent framework that coordinates the memory cycle of memory‑augmented LLM agents on both forward and backward paths. On the forward path, a Meta‑Thinker guides a Memory Manager for construction and a Query Reasoner for iterative retrieval. On the backward path, MemMA performs in‑situ self‑evolving memory construction, generating probe QA pairs, verifying the memory, and converting failures into repair actions before finalization. Experiments on LoCoMo show that MemMA consistently outperforms existing baselines across multiple LLM backbones and improves three different storage backends.

AdaMem: Learning What to Remember with Adaptive Memory Policies for Personalized Agents

AdaMem introduces adaptive memory policies that allow personalized agents to decide what information to write into long‑term memory based on user preferences for each interaction context. Each policy is updated from periodic feedback and controls subsequent memory writing, aiming to improve relevance and reduce unnecessary memory persistence. In experiments on AdaMem‑Bench, AdaMem raises QA accuracy from 80.0% to 84.35% while cutting persistent memory by 9.27%, though models still struggle to execute policies reliably.

Remembering Is Not Enough: Refining Memories and Learning When to Use Them in Multi-Agent Systems

The paper introduces DiscernMem, a training‑free framework for improving memory quality and usage in LLM‑based multi‑agent systems. It combines Defect‑Aware Memory Refinement (DMR), which diagnoses and repairs flawed memories, with Boundary‑Learning Meta‑Memory (BLM), which learns when to apply or avoid each memory based on context. Experiments with Qwen3‑4B‑Instruct‑2507 on four benchmarks show DiscernMem outperforms existing baselines, achieving higher scores on AutoGen, CAMEL, and MacNet, and improving code generation and symbolic planning performance.

More Memory, Worse Agents: Error Reproduction and Anti-Persistence in LLM Agents

The paper investigates how large language model (LLM) agents can improve performance by storing and reusing experience in external memory. It identifies a problem called error reproduction, where mistakes in stored abstractions propagate through cycles of abstraction, execution, and re-abstraction, leading to persistent errors. To mitigate this, the authors propose Anti-Persistence, a memory design that retains raw trajectories and outcomes but reconstructs task-specific guidance on demand, discarding it after use. Experiments across multiple benchmarks show that Anti-Persistence yields higher held‑out success rates and lower LLM‑call costs compared to other memory designs, supporting the idea of separating experience accumulation from abstraction persistence.

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.
