LLM agents that persist across sessions accumulate stored memories whose validity varies enormously by content type, yet existing memory architectures treat all memories as equally persistent and systematically contaminate retrieved context with outdated facts. We show that per-memory, type-conditioned temporal decay, a property of western scrub jay episodic memory, can be operationalized as an auto-classified coefficient $π_i$ in an external LLM-agent memory store, yielding ScrubJay-MEM: each memory is encoded as a jointly-bound What--Where--When tuple with an estimated perishability $π_i$ and utility horizon $τ_i$, retrieved by query-adaptive scoring, and revised retroactively at $O(1)$ LLM calls per update.
arXiv:2608.22215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents operate in dynamic environments where knowledge continuously evolves. Existing memory systems typically treat externa...
arXiv:2605. 05066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We identify and prove a fundamental trade-off governing long-sequence models: no model can simultaneously achieve (i) per-step computation independent of sequence length (Efficiency), (ii) state size independent of sequence length (Compactness), and (iii) the ability to recall a number of historical facts proportional to sequence length (Recall).
arXiv:2607. 08032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models, and the agents built on them, spend an ever-growing share of their compute and memory on remembering: caching attention keys and values, carrying long prompts, maintaining recurrent state, and storing what happened in previous turns and sessions.
arXiv:2510. 09379v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While softmax attention drives state-of-the-art performance in sequence modeling, its quadratic complexity motivates linear alternatives such as state space models (SSMs).
arXiv:2602. 16864v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Time series (TS) modeling has come a long way from early statistical, mainly linear, approaches to the current trend in TS foundation models.
