Long-term language-model agents rely on external memory across interactions. Atomic memories are particularly useful: their fine-grained semantic boundaries enable precise retrieval and direct compari...
AtomMem is a long‑term memory system for large language models that stores high‑value atomic facts extracted from long‑form interactions. It organizes these facts into hierarchical event structures and temporal profiles, enabling coherent episodic context and dynamic tracking of user attributes. During retrieval, an associative memory graph connects fragmented memories, and experiments on the LoCoMo benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance across reasoning tasks.

MemoryLACE (MemLACE) is a lightweight memory framework that explicitly models the lifecycle of textual evidence—capturing sparse merge, supersession, and contradiction relations—while preserving atomic natural‑language memories and their provenance. Unlike traditional systems that retrieve memories independently, MemLACE reconstructs relation‑aware evidence units that expose current, historical, supporting, and conflicting evidence for downstream reasoning. In benchmark evaluations (BEAM and StructMemEval) using both open‑weight and proprietary LLM backbones, MemLACE achieves the highest overall performance among same‑backbone comparisons and reduces BEAM runtime by 66.6% compared to the strongest reflective‑memory baseline, Hindsight.

The paper introduces RD-Forget, a training‑free framework that separates what a persistent language agent stores from what it uses at answer time. It keeps a source archive of all observations while a query‑conditioned memory view filters evidence relevant to the current question, using a frozen language‑model curator to group facts into semantic slots and preserve multi‑hop relations. The approach employs rate‑distortion principles to stay within a memory budget and demonstrates improvements across conversational memory, knowledge updating, fact consolidation, long‑context reasoning, and personalization tasks.

The paper introduces AMA, a framework that uses multiple agents—Constructor, Retriever, Judge, and Refresher—to manage memory for large language model agents. AMA’s hierarchical memory design dynamically adjusts retrieval granularity to match task complexity, while the Judge and Refresher ensure relevance, consistency, and timely updates. Experiments on long-context benchmarks show AMA outperforms existing baselines and cuts token usage by about 80% compared to full-context approaches.

TrawMem redefines agent memory systems as Task‑Oriented Role‑Adaptive Workspaces, selecting and organizing memories by their roles in task solving rather than mere relevance. It structures interaction histories into local threads and jointly selects complementary memories to build task‑specific workspaces. Experiments on LoCoMo and MemGallery show consistent macro‑F1 gains of 2.23–3.14 points and improved LLM‑Judge scores with fewer context tokens.
