Understanding and Mitigating Inference-Time Overreliance Using Agentic Memory

The paper investigates how large language model agents can over-rely on agentic memory, a phenomenon where retrieved memories distort inference even when they are correctly stored and retrieved. It shows that memory is helpful when past experience fully transfers to the current task but becomes misleading under partial query-memory overlap, a pattern confirmed by controlled experiments. To address this, the authors propose MEMTRIM, a plug‑and‑play framework that indexes memory evidence at write time and limits its reuse at read time, thereby reducing over-reliance without retraining and preserving useful memory benefits across models and memory architectures.

From Relevant Memories to Sufficient Evidence: Rethinking Memory Utilization in LLM Agents

The paper introduces QEMem, a framework that rethinks how large language model agents use long‑term memory by constructing query‑specific evidence sets rather than relying on individual memory relevance. QEMem combines query‑guided discovery, source‑grounded reification into structured ViewCards, and sufficiency‑guided refinement to assemble comprehensive evidence from multiple memory granularities. Experiments show that QEMem achieves 91.43% LLM‑judge accuracy on LoCoMo with Claude Opus 4.5, surpassing leading baselines by significant margins and improving evidence coverage for cross‑session queries.
