Agent Zero Memory is a provenance‑aware long‑term memory system for large language model agents that distills user interactions into three parallel memory structures: an episodic timeline, an associative entity‑event knowledge graph, and a semantic, citation‑locked hierarchical documentary memory. Retrieval is performed via an intent gate, source router, and concurrent searches across the three systems, producing integrated, cited answers that exclude fabrication and require evidence the reader has opened. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LongMemEval (95.60%) and LoCoMo (93.60%) while offering a favorable accuracy‑cost‑latency trade‑off across multiple backbone LLMs.

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.

Mnemon is a memory agent that stores conversations as raw, dated records and uses a fast System 1 decision model (Jev) to quickly judge the relevance of records, while a slow System 2 LLM plans searches and composes answers. The agent consolidates records into topic timelines and value histories in the background, enabling efficient retrieval without rewriting conversations into structured formats. Experiments show Mnemon achieving high scores on LoCoMo and LongMemEval‑S with low context length and cost, and Jev outperforming LLMs in evidence separation and speed.

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.

arXiv:2607. 16211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents augmented with persistent memory can recall past interactions, but existing systems suffer from two limitations: flat, unstructured storage loses relational context needed for multi-hop and temporal reasoning, and reliance on expensive LLM-based classification makes them impractical for latency-sensitive deployment.

The paper introduces AIM, a privacy‑aware memory framework that lets multi‑agent, multi‑user large language models manage both private and shared memory. AIM classifies data as private (user‑specific) or public (shared) and enforces index‑level access controls to protect sensitive information while enabling shared knowledge to improve coordination. The authors also present MUMBench, a new dataset for evaluating memory operations in multi‑user settings, and report high accuracy metrics for AIM on this benchmark.
