ChipMEM: Verification-Grounded Memory for EDA Agents

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

ChipMEM introduces a verification‑grounded memory layer for electronic design automation agents that combines cross‑task procedural memory with within‑trajectory statistical guidance. The procedural component stores a skill only after it passes synthesis, simulation, or formal checks, while a Bayesian component ranks recovery strategies based on tool‑call outcomes. Experiments on RTLRewriter‑Bench and CVDP tasks show that ChipMEM improves equivalence‑passing outputs and area metrics compared to agents without memory.

When Not to Imitate: Boundary-Aware Skill Memory for Reliable Tool-Use LLM Agents

The paper introduces Boundary-Aware Skill Memory (BASM), a method that enriches skill memories for large language model agents with explicit boundary fields such as applicability conditions, risk cues, avoidance rules, and recovery notes. This approach transforms retrieved skills from unconditional templates into state‑conditioned guidance, preventing the Skill Imitation Trap where more skills lead to incorrect tool usage. Experiments on three agent benchmarks and four model scales show that BASM improves task success rates, accuracy, and reduces attack success while cutting average steps compared to memory‑free baselines.

Designer-RSI: Evolving Procedural Memory from User Traffic for Agentic Graphic Design

Designer‑RSI presents a continual adaptation framework that lets a frozen frontier model operate professional design software while an external procedural memory learns natural‑language design skills from user traffic. Over five rounds on 1,406 real briefs and 1,869 graded trajectories, the memory grew from 76 to 139 skills, boosting execution success from 72.7% to 99.3% and improving win rates on four design benchmarks. The study shows that widening and deepening the memory, especially together, significantly outperforms a no‑skill baseline.
