AGI House Hackathon Recap: Long-horizon Agents Need Verification, Not Just Memory
agihouse_org · x · 2026-08-25
At the Long Horizon Build Day hosted by AGI House, teams built an MVP for a verified knowledge ledger. Key reflections include:
- Memory is soft, verification is not: Remembering isn't the same as knowing if information is true, current, or safe to reuse.
- Compounding errors: 99% accuracy per step drops to 37% after 100 steps. Long-horizon agents need better ways to carry forward evidence trails.
- Trust infrastructure is early: As agents move to long-running work across sessions, the infrastructure for trust is still nascent.
