Latest update (11-12 09:37): Researchers test whether LLM agents can organize their own memory

Overview: Researchers from City University of Hong Kong and Tencent Jarvis Lab present SoMem, a framework in which LLM agents store memory as ordinary linked documents instead of fixed schemas. The agent decides what to summarize and links each summary to its original interaction. SoMem beat the strongest baseline by 2.66 points on LoCoMo, 3.10 on BEAM-100K and 2.00 on LongMemEval-S. Elvis Saravia, who reported the study, says he uses a similar linked-document approach with his own agents.
