Memory has emerged as a cornerstone of modern LLM-based agents, supporting their evolution from single-turn assistants to long-term collaborators. However, memory is not always beneficial: retrieved memories often induce a critical issue of sycophancy, causing agents to over-align with the user at the cost of factual accuracy or objective reasoning.

The paper introduces MemProbe, a framework inspired by cognitive science to evaluate stability-plasticity tradeoffs in agent memory systems. It offers four experimental paradigms—interference, misinformation, consolidation strength, and reconsolidation window—to manipulate memory updates, preservation, and uncertainty. Using a 56-episode diagnostic suite, the authors evaluate six incremental memory systems, revealing that similar overall scores can mask distinct behavioral profiles in how memories are updated, preserved, attributed, and temporally organized.

arXiv:2607. 12385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A significant challenge in agentic AI is prospective memory: the ability to execute an intention at a specific future cue or state while other activities are ongoing.
The paper introduces StructMemEval, a benchmark designed to assess how well large language model (LLM) agents can organize their long‑term memory rather than merely recall facts. It compiles tasks that humans typically solve by structuring knowledge—such as transaction ledgers, to‑do lists, and trees—and evaluates agents on these. Experiments show that simple retrieval‑augmented LLMs struggle with such organization tasks, while memory‑augmented agents perform better when explicitly prompted to structure their memory, yet many modern LLMs still fail to recognize memory structures without prompting.
