Recent works have highlighted the significance of memory mechanisms in LLM-based agents, which enable them to store observed information and adapt to dynamic environments. However, evaluating their memory capabilities still remains challenges. Previous evaluations are commonly limited by the diversity of memory levels and interactive scenarios. They also lack comprehensive metrics to reflect the memory capabilities from multiple aspects. To address these problems, in this paper, we construct a more comprehensive dataset and benchmark to evaluate the memory capability of LLM-based agents. Our dataset incorporates factual memory and reflective memory as different levels, and proposes participation and observation as various interactive scenarios. Based on our dataset, we present a benchmark, named MemBench, to evaluate the memory capability of LLM-based agents from multiple aspects, including their effectiveness, efficiency, and capacity. To benefit the research community, we release our dataset and project at https://github.com/import-myself/Membench.

  1. Supersede: Diagnosing and Training the Memory-Update Gap in LLM Agents

    cs.CL 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The supersession gap in LLM agents—failing to use current facts and discard superseded ones—is a distinct failure not fixed by scale or memory size, but improvable via RL training on a new environment.

  2. Memory-Induced Tool-Drift in LLM Agents

    cs.CR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Biased long-term memories in LLM agents cause measurable deviations in tool parameters across 105 scenarios, seven models, and 608 real tools, persisting under standard memory architectures.

  3. Remember the Decision, Not the Description: A Rate-Distortion Framework for Agent Memory

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  4. NeuroState-Bench: A Human-Calibrated Benchmark for Commitment Integrity in LLM Agent Profiles

    cs.AI 2026-05 accept novelty 7.0

    NeuroState-Bench is a human-calibrated benchmark with 144 tasks and 306 side-query probes showing that commitment integrity in LLM agent profiles diverges from task success, with 31 of 32 profiles changing rank under ...

  5. Evo-Memory: Benchmarking LLM Agent Test-time Learning with Self-Evolving Memory

    cs.CL 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Evo-Memory is a new benchmark for self-evolving memory in LLM agents across task streams, with baseline ExpRAG and proposed ReMem method that integrates reasoning, actions, and memory updates for continual improvement.

  6. Memory in the Loop: In-Process Retrieval as Extended Working Memory for Language Agents

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Store latency, not architecture, gates per-step memory access; in-process ~100 µs stores make memory-in-the-loop feasible and causally reduce redundant agent actions.

  7. Supra Cognitive Modes: A Routed Architecture for Agent Memory

    cs.AI 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    A per-query mode router over a shared memory substrate scores 84.87% LoCoMo factoid, 68.61% abstention, 61.49% MemoryAgentBench, 86.00% LongMemEval, with all causal and efficiency claims explicitly withheld.

  8. Toward User-Conditioned Evaluation of Personal LLM Agents under Temporal Interventions

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    No existing agent benchmark protocol replays a fixed temporal change across varied persistent user states while measuring cross-component failure propagation, creating a concrete design gap for personal-agent evaluation.

  9. Memory in the Loop: In-Process Retrieval as Extended Working Memory for Language Agents

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Memory-in-the-loop becomes viable when the store lives in-process (~100µs), and under a fixed per-turn memory budget, store speed causally determines whether an agent repeats actions.

  10. Escaping the Self-Confirmation Trap: An Execute-Distill-Verify Paradigm for Agentic Experience Learning

    cs.CL 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0
