Memory in the Loop: In-Process Retrieval as ExtendedWorking Memory for Language Agents

Overview

arXiv:2607.05690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language agents run a loop - observe, reason, act - but the memory they reason over sits outside it: a store queried at most once per turn. We study the regime where memory moves inside the loop, read and written on every step. The obstacle has always been latency: networked stores answer in tens to hundreds of milliseconds, and in-loop retrieval can inflate end-to-end latency by up to 83x when retrieval is expensive. Prior work manages that cost r
