MemoryArena is a new evaluation gym that benchmarks agent memory in interdependent multi‑session tasks. Unlike prior benchmarks that test memorization or single‑session action in isolation, MemoryArena requires agents to acquire memory while interacting with the environment and then use that memory to guide future decisions across a range of tasks such as web navigation, planning, information search, and formal reasoning. The benchmark reveals that agents excelling on existing long‑context memory tests perform poorly here, highlighting a gap in current memory evaluation methods.

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: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.

The paper introduces StructMemEval, a benchmark designed to assess how well large language model (LLM) agents can organize their long‑term memory rather than merely recall facts. It compiles tasks that humans typically solve by structuring knowledge—such as transaction ledgers, to‑do lists, and trees—and evaluates agents on these. Experiments show that simple retrieval‑augmented LLMs struggle with such organization tasks, while memory‑augmented agents perform better when explicitly prompted to structure their memory, yet many modern LLMs still fail to recognize memory structures without prompting.

arXiv:2606. 06787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise as tool-using agents but remain limited in long-horizon tasks that require remembering, organizing, and reusing knowledge.

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.
