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.

External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence. However, existing memory paradigms represent each memory item in raw text and image forms, so retrieval-based systems must pass the retrieved text or images to the generation LLMs/VLMs, resulting in high token consumption and storage pressure, making it unaffordable for resource-constrained applications.

ReMem is a new recommendation agent framework that rethinks perception and memory for long-context recommendation tasks. It replaces raw HTML parsing with OCR-based multimodal perception from screenshots, extracting structured information in a platform-agnostic way. The framework also introduces a chunk-wise sequential memory update strategy and a multi-memory GRPO variant to efficiently model evolving user preferences over arbitrarily long interaction histories, achieving a 5.16% average improvement over state-of-the-art baselines on three recommendation agent tasks.
