What Deserves Memory: Adaptive Memory Distillation for LLM Agents
Canonical reference. 80% of citing Pith papers cite this work as background.
abstract
Memory systems for LLM agents struggle to determine what information deserves retention. Existing approaches rely on predefined heuristics such as importance scores, emotional tags, or factual templates, encoding designer intuition rather than learning from the data itself. Inspired by cognitive ideas, we propose NEMORI, an adaptive memory distillation framework that casts the assessment of experience's future utility as a matter of predictability. Specifically, NEMORI comprises two cascading modules: Episodic Memory Integration transforms raw interactions into coherent narratives, and Semantic Knowledge Distillation extracts insights via prediction error. Centering on distillation, the framework remains agnostic to downstream management. Extensive experiments confirm that NEMORI achieves strong performance, efficiency, and storage reduction. Our work suggests that observing the intrinsic properties of interaction sequences offers a viable, data-driven alternative to heuristic-based memory design.

TRACE models conversations as hierarchical graphs with temporal, causal, update, and contradiction relations plus validity annotations to enable bounded, state-aware query processing over long conversational histories.
MAGE manages agent memory via a hierarchical state tree with Grow, Compress, Maintain, and Revise operations, raising success rates 7.8-20.4 pp and cutting tokens 55.1% on MemoryArena.
Memory for long-horizon agents should preserve distinctions that affect decisions under a fixed budget, not descriptive features, yielding an exact forgetting boundary and a new online learner DeMem with regret guarantees.
Memora benchmark and FAMA metric show that LLMs and memory agents frequently reuse invalid memories and struggle to reconcile evolving information in long-term interactions.
xMemory builds revisable hierarchical agent memory by segmenting histories, decoupling into components, and aggregating via sparsity-semantic objective, yielding better answer quality and lower token use than flat RAG on LoCoMo and PerLTQA.
FluxMem evolves memory as a heterogeneous graph via three refinement stages and reports consistent state-of-the-art results on LoCoMo, Mind2Web, and GAIA benchmarks.
Auto-Dreamer trains an offline memory consolidator via GRPO on agent performance to abstract cross-session patterns, outperforming baselines by 7 points on ScienceWorld with 12x smaller memory and generalizing to ALFWorld and WebArena.
