Study on Agent-Native Memory Systems: Write Time Dictates Reliability

@avichawla summarizes a new study on agent-native memory systems. True agent memory shouldn't just be a bolted-on store; it must maintain, update, and discard facts across sessions.

The study analyzes 12 agent memory systems across four stages: representation, extraction, retrieval, and maintenance. It reveals that the critical factor determining system reliability is the write time, not the query time. Systems that add structure during the write phase, such as graph-based methods, perform much better under fact updates and cross-session reasoning.
