Kernel-Managed Shared Memory for System-Wide Personalization

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces kernel‑managed shared memory, a system‑level abstraction that lets specialized agents write structured, tagged memories while the agent‑system kernel controls retrieval, privacy, and prompt injection. Implemented on AIOS, this design outperforms unmanaged external memory, standard retrieval‑augmented injection, and full context concatenation across GPT‑4o, Llama‑3.1:8B, and Qwen‑2.5:7B, improving personalization scores by 2.4‑4.0 points on a 5‑point scale and reducing latency and token usage by 15‑61%. The results show that centralizing memory management in the kernel delivers most personalization benefits at a fraction of the cost.

AIM: A Privacy-Aware Interoperable Memory Framework for Multi-Agent Multi-User LLM Systems

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.

Deployment-Time Memorization in Foundation-Model Agents

arXiv:2606. 10062v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation-model agents are increasingly long-lived systems that remember users across interactions, making memorization an explicit deployment-time function rather than solely a property of model weights.

Why Bother Me Again? Benchmarking Personal Agent Memory for Interaction Preferences

The paper introduces MemPABench, an interactive environment designed to evaluate how personal agents remember and act on user interaction preferences. The benchmark features long‑horizon tasks where agents must decide when to clarify, confirm, or act autonomously, using data from four simulated users who provided 99 sessions over four months and five preference changes each. Experiments across four memory systems and LLM backbones show that current memory approaches offer limited improvement in preference selection, with retrieval‑based methods performing no better than no memory and file‑based memory sometimes applying preferences in irrelevant contexts.
