// Agent memory is a data system now // Great paper on long-term memory for LLM agents. (bookmark it) Agent memory has grown from simple retrieval into a full data-management layer with storage, retrieval, update, consolidation, and lifecycle governance. Yet most evaluations still score it as a black box through end-to-end task success like F1 and BLEU, which hides the costs and failure modes underneath. The authors decompose agent memory into four core modules and measure each one for operational cost, architectural trade-offs, and robustness under dynamic knowledge updates. Why does it matter? If you design an agent memory layer, this gives you the module breakdown and the system-level metrics to evaluate it honestly, instead of trusting a single downstream score.
