RecMem: Recurrence-based Memory Consolidation for Efficient and Effective Long-Running LLM Agents (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing memory systems invoke LLMs to extract episodic and semantic memory, and this leads to substantial token consumption. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that stores incoming interactions in a subconscious memory layer and encodes them using lightweight embedding models for retrieval. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that RecMem reduces the memory construction token cost of three SOTA memory systems by up to 87% while exceeding their accuracy. |
