Agent Memory Becomes Structured State

First detected

Long-running agents are replacing undifferentiated context with structured state built for different consumers. A live trace ledger compiles separate views for the agent and human observer at materially lower token cost; event-centric memory binds multimodal records, time, graph relations and provenance; latent memory compresses context without reconstructing text; and independent implementations organize episodic, graph and resumable workflow memory. Memory is becoming a runtime data architecture with explicit structure, attribution and replay.

Parsing the Stream: A Live Trace Model for Long-Horizon Agents and Their Observers

A long-horizon agent's trace outgrows both of its consumers: the human observer monitoring the run, and the agent itself, whose bounded context the trace must be folded back into. We present a live trace model, an append-only event ledger folded incrementally ...

LatentPress: Context Compression Beyond Text and Vision

Compressed context is usually carried as human-readable text or as rendered images that must be decoded, even when its consumer is a language model. We introduce LatentPress, which writes conversational histories and long documents into a third representation:...

EM^2Mem: Event-Centric Multimodal Memory for Large Language Models

Multimodal memory offers a scalable interface for long-video question answering, but existing methods often retrieve captions, frames, transcripts, summaries, or graph facts as isolated fragments. Although searchable, such fragments are not generation-ready: l...

OpenWiki makes long-running knowledge work resumable

OpenWiki is presented as a durable research workflow: agents can preserve progress, recover work and resume long-running knowledge tasks instead of treating each run as an isolated chat.
