Apple proposes shared selective persistent memory to fix agent LLM context amnesia
Apple ML Research · rss · 2026-09-16
Apple ML Research introduces shared selective persistent memory, a memory architecture for agentic LLM systems that generate code via multi-turn tool use.
- Problem: each session starts from zero, discarding configuration choices, domain constraints, data schemas, and tool-use patterns from previous sessions
- Naively persisting full conversation histories is token-inefficient and actually degrades generation quality due to irrelevant context
- The architecture identifies and retains four categories of reusable context—task specifications, data schemas, and more—shared across sessions
Goal: let later sessions inherit the context that made earlier ones productive, without the noise.
